I’m curious about your stories. In my other thread about thinking of moving to Japan because of their population decline people suggested communist countries. I personally don’t consider it at the moment because, to my knowledge, they have a stable population growth so my housing issue wouldn’t be easier to resolve. Nevertheless, I’m eager to listen to your stories. :)

        I gotta be honest, i don’t understand that reference 草, my Japanese skills are still elementary. “ご苦労サンバ” lead me to a song, but probably I need some cultural context to get it.

          Just a terrible pun. Gokurosama (hord work has been done!) Vs gokurosamba (hard work has been what samba dancing?!)

          It’s such a stupid joke

          Also instead of お疲れ様でした you can throw out an equally stupid gag カツカレー山でした~ and then feel sorry for your interlocutor

            I love humor that throws you off, definitely using the カツカレー one irl, even though I might end up looking like an idiot.
