Are Japanese lazy?
Summer in Japan is very hot and humid. One day my coworker asked me why Japanese don't have pools in the yard of their houses. It's understandable that houses and apartments in a city don't have a space, but people in countryside be able to have pools. Then I said, "If you have it in the yard, many mosquitoes and harmful insects break out. It's insanitary and people get sick. Japanese weather is not good for keeping pools." But he said, " You can clean it every day. Japanese are just lazy and don't know how to spend holidays." I think Japanese work very hard on weekdays and take a rest on weekends but they have hobbies like fishing or hiking. They know how to spend holidays. You can't say Japanese are lazy even if they don't have pools in the yard. He was in bad mood. He must have argued with his Japanese wife the day before.

よくがんばったね！
Pools in the yard are expensive and troublesome, and in many areas pool owners are held responsible if a stranger enters their yard without permission to use the pool and is hurt or drowned.
庭のプールは高くてめんどくさいです。それより、知らない人が許可なしで入って、怪我や溺れることがあったら、プールを持っている人は責任をとらせています。
I live in America, and my children have been asking me for years why we don't have a pool. There is a lake less then 10 minutes' drive from our house!
私はアメリカに住んでいてもプールを持っていません。子供はずっと前からどうしてプールを買わないかききます。湖の近くに住んでいるからいりません！＾＾

You can't say Japanese people are lazy even if they don't have pools in their yards. He was in bad mood. He must have argued with his Japanese wife the day before.Note: Chizuko, I think the Japanese are absolutely not lazy at all. You have only to consider what great patience and diligence it takes to cultivate the bansai, for example. Japan is also famous for origami, sushi and sashimi, tempura, kamikazi pilots, sumo wrestlers, ninjas and samurai, shuriken, terraced gardens, manga and anime, Mazinger Z, nintendo, gameboy, Space Invaders, Street Fighter II, emoji, the hibachi, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Kawasaki, Sony, Yamaha, Toshiba, Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Panasonic, Seiko, IKAROS, android robots, karakuri puppets, the kubuki theater, the Nagoya castle, the Shinkansen, and much more. Students study very hard and learn THREE writing systems (hirigana, katakana, kanji). It is hard to find anyone walking slowly anywhere; obesity is very rare, and the standard of cleanliness is extremely high. Anyway, why would anyone bother with a pool in their yard when they can go to the public bath every day if they want to?
