dont bring msia culture there...
u will destroy them
wanna ask, u alone there or with family?
i used to work alone oversea, really lonely
my life once a week after work, normally drink with collig there...
100bottles of heineken, imagine how big is the group
20-30gals... 3guyz oni... cannot even reject (not boasting, this is real

)
and there is a period more than half of my salary gone... almost everyday drinking
really depress tat time...
work and drink... no life at all
i hope your life in japan is not this extreme
I am with my family here. Also I dont drink much as well, so I seldom go drinking unless it is absolutely necessary.. But at least in Japan they dont force you to drink unlike Korea! I do play a lot of sports and with this get to meet lots of people. Here in Japan there are a lot of foreigners as well and culturally its very diverse. If you do stay here, its good that you actually know people other than your colleague.
