Late nights in the office...

Late nights are common here in Japan. When tenders arrive, the coordination, resource allocation, tender bid proposals and presentations have to be at incredibly short time. The other night, I was in the office till 12.30AM. Yesterday, even tough it was a Sunday, I was working in the office till 10.15PM and then continued in the hotel... the hotels here have 100Mbps Internet access... it is almost like you never left the office. :)

As you can see in the bus time table, some places have the late night busses. However in most residential areas, the bus service stops at around 10.30PM.

I know that this is not everyone's cup of tea, but when you are alone on assignment, it is critical to meet the deadlines. It doesn't matter if you are in the office or the hotel working.

However, when your family arrives, they come first. Focus has to be on the work-life balance.

Till later, Ja ne!
