I'm on normal weekend while Japan enjoys long 3day weekend (Sad). Recently COVID case in Singapore is increasing a little after termination of mask regulation. Now I know that mask has certain impact on affection (Of course). Now we take who is going to be the last man standing in the office Lol. 4 more left!!

By the way, I took online course of Japanese university (Thanks got there is not big time difference). Then today is the first day of the classe. I just wanted to make… friends in Japan Lol. I was looking forward to it since this is my first time taking zoom uni class. Roughly half of them are uni students and another half are working people. It is good to be involved in passion from people. Today I'm going to introduce data related to it which is a bit surprising to me (No?).

It seems,,, Working people in Japan study much less than people in other country or region!! (really?). According to Person group (2019), Japanese shows extremely high score on "I don't study at all" for the question about how do you study to working people (right red line of the chart). It is double of following area Australia and New Zealand. DOUBLE! Is it real? Are Japanese too busy to study? Maybe but Japan has many holidays compared with Singapore… Does Japanese good enough without studying? (Not realistic…).

But as far as I see today's class, I saw many people who want to study. So maybe it is because of motivation? Many people can not find motivation to study? I can think of some possible reasons… Certainly being in Singapore I see that people study a lot. I had few people who told me that they will go to uni or masters to study again. Well mostly it is not just they love studying but they can not survive without studying… I shouldn't be lazy to!
