Businessmen - Long Hours and Up to No Good

It’s not uncommon to see businessmen leaving office buildings around 10:30 PM, sometimes even midnight, just to head straight to the local bar to get scummy drunk. We saw this all while we were walking to the Roppongi area. Street after street, we came across drunken men in suit and tie, walking with a slight lean to their gait. A few of them were even talking to young girls that could have been less than half their age. We even saw Goshen girls on the street. That was crazy. I thought they only existed in the movies. But again, it wouldn’t be uncommon to see the businessmen shuckin’ and jivin’ with the women after work. At times, I just felt like saying, “Don’t you have a wife and kids? Don’t you have somewhere to be?... Like asleep! Don’t you have to be up and back to work within the next 5-6 hours?”

Crazy.
