		<description>hey Alex! 

Yeah while there is that definite thing about the illusion of efficiency i gotta admit things still do work a lot better than in most European countries, and the whole gambarimasu spirit definitely has a lot to do with it.

Im gonna miss it a lot, as you&#039;ve said before it&#039;s easy to get frustrated and angry when you&#039;re in the thick of it, moaning at things around you, but once you leave it all hits you how good it actually was.

glad you like the redesign, this one should be here to stay a lot longer hopefully!</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t agree more. In fact, I&#039;d say although the results are better in Japan, the processes are even less efficient in Japan than they are in the UK. What makes the difference in Japan is people doing extra unpaid overtime to make up for being inefficient

PS- been yet another redesign since I was here last time I think. Like it!</description>
