Japan's "contradictory" office workers save money by making instant noodles at lunch, in order to go to pubs for "nightlife"

With the improvement of people's living standards, it is no longer difficult to travel abroad. Many people in China have had the experience of traveling abroad.

Traveling abroad can not only relax nervous nerves, but also broaden our horizons and experience local customs.

Take neighboring Japan as an example. Although China and Japan are not far apart, there are huge cultural differences.

As we know, as a developed country, Japan is better than our country in many places, and its residents' income is higher. However, the reality is that many Japanese still have to make a living and often use instant noodles for lunch. But in the evening, they went to izakaya in droves to spend money, which was really contradictory.

The income of the Japanese is considerable. Even workers who work in factories can earn more than 10,000 RMB per month, which is the real salary of white-collar workers in our country and belongs to high-income groups.

Moreover, the Japanese rarely work overtime, and basically get off work on time, so they still have plenty of spare time.

But why are the Japanese still frugal?

First, because Japanese women leave the workplace to be full-time wives at home after marriage, although they can take care of their families, they lack an income, and the whole family can only live on their husbands' wages, which means that the family's economic conditions are very poor.

Second, because the Japanese government forces people to pay pensions, after deducting pensions, the wages they get are greatly reduced.

In order to save money, many company employees make a living by making instant noodles at noon. However, in the face of intense work pressure and economic pressure, men also need a chance to relax and vent, so they will go to izakaya to spend money together, so that they can temporarily forget that life is not easy.
