Are the Japanese lazy?
Summer in Japan is very hot and humid. One day my coworker asked me why
the 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
the countryside
people are able to have pools. Then I said, "If you have it in the yard, many mosquitoes and harmful insects
come in. It's insanitary and people get sick. Japanese weather is not good for keeping pools." But he said, " You can clean it every day.
The Japanese are just lazy and don't know how to spend holidays." I think
the 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
the Japanese are lazy even if they don't have pools in the yard. He was in
a bad mood. He must have argued with his Japanese wife the day before.
