Was communicating with a coworker in Singapore and as he was getting ready to leave he sent the following email:

Taday is Eat Your Family day in Singapore and we all get to go home early.

While I was sitting there wondering what kind of barbaric customs they had in Singapore, he replied a few minutes later with “Oops, I meant Eat With Your Family day.“ – at which I laughed out loud in the office.

For those who don’t know what he’s referring to, today is apparently a day that participating companies let workers go home earlier than usual so that they can spend a little more time with their family.  A practice I definitely think JAPAN should adopt!
