Japan

The island of the rising sun The land were work is fun With tireless proletarians And boundless trailblazers Land where days and hours clock first Where it is already tomorrow when our sun sets At the edge of the world With a new age for the world They break paths for us to maintain The earth cracks but they build again Lights never dim in Nihon Nihon always lives on

You appear to have lived and worked in Japan-- I did too in the mid-70's teaching ESL. My work was fun, though most Japanese seem to work to hard... but it is a fascinating and unique culture.

You are right, actually I just went for a short training a decade ago and i have been planning to return ever since, just to get my working spirits up again.
