Used Book in Good Condition
> I can tell you from experience that we apparently don't know English as well as they do
Haha, that point came up in The Blue-Eyed Salaryman - when the author tried to suggest to his Japanese superiors that they'd made a mistake in their English, they said he'd spent a long time in Japan and forgotten his English.
For anyone more curious about the lifestyle, this book was written by an Irish guy who worked at Mitsubishi for 13 years. I would equate his life to living under a totalitarian regime. It's an engrossing read, but I'd rather do time in jail than have that lifestyle.
If you like that I'd reccomend The Blue-eyes Salaryman A memoir of an Irish guy who came to Japan to do a graduate engineering programme on a Japanese government scholarship and became the first gaijin bucho at Mitsubishi.
