      The Japanese tend to replace older houses, but this article from The Guardian suggests that things might be changing.

      Raze, rebuild, repeat: why Japan knocks down its houses after 30 years

      Incidentally, they need to get @neph93 to give them lessons. Their population is set to fall from 127 million now to 88 million by 2065. :o

            I feel like the most Japanese part of that was the fact that the company apologized, even though no one complained.

                  Flat out QUIT, or you had previously planned this?

                  Either way, what's to come must be better than what you had… Congrats!

                    I hope so.

                    They pay better and offer better perspectives on the long run, financially and careerwise. Plus I get to learn a lot of new stuff that will raise my marketvalue for the field I work in a good deal for the future.

                    All things my current employer could not offer.

                    The only downside is, that I'll have to drive 2h per day by bus and train now instead 30 min with the car. But the short distance was the only objective plus point of my current job (aside of a good Boss and nice colleagues).

                      Congratulations! A short commute is a luxury in this day and age. The benefits you list should ease the pain.

                          Five minute walk to work… Luckily... If I had to deal with other people at 5am, I'd be in jail for manslaughter and grave assault...

                              Did you get it done or did you have the check-up?.. My mate's friend had to have his plumming cut twice…

                              In your case, I'm sure they'll have to resort to amputate everything under the nose...

                                    Seul, just the snip-snip today. Giles, my end is staying exactly where it is, up or down. This is less comfortable than I imagined it would be… luckily I have drugs. On another note, Hot Ingrid has bought sausage and eggs for tea. Laugh? I nearly did.
