Suffocating...

"The Japanese job market is suffocating for the ordinary Japanese student (...) The sight of college students wearing identical clothes for job hunting is the symbol of a Japanese disease":

Mind the 'career gap' when job hunting in Japan

Komkommertijd

Er is iets totaal verkeerd met de nieuwsverschaffing. Ik lees vandaag (18 juli 2011) dit artikel in De Morgen:
http://www.demorgen.be/dm/nl/994/stand-der-dingen/article/detail/1293982/2011/07/18/Japanse-vrouw-woont-jaar-lang-ongemerkt-in-kast-in-flat.dhtml

Wat? Dat verhaal heb ik al gehoord. Ik zoek in m'n archief en vind dat de BBC dat berichtje al gepubliceerd heeft in 2008! Link:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7426950.stm


Conclusie: Neem met een korrel zout wat de media u vertellen. Komkommertijd, zeker?
