@CyberVapor1978@japan_nobunaga Yes many people in the workforce tally up their PTO but barely use it so it expires after 2 years. Government even enforced a law to encourage people to take 5 mandatory PTO a year. However the remaining day can only be used within a 2-year window so the counter resets
The world spent 30 years calling Japan 'behind.'
Still uses cash.
Still uses fax.
Still has tiny shops run by one old couple.
Then the world got 'ahead' —
and ended up lonely, rushed,
and scrolling at 2 AM.
Now the same people are flying to Japan
just to feel something they can't name.
A meal made by hand.
A street that's quiet.
A stranger who's kind for no reason.
Turns out Japan wasn't behind.
It just refused to trade away
the things that actually make a life.
