Nagoya is a wonderful place. I wouldn`t live elsewhere.
i guess that's the normal thing for any engineer working in any company. anyways, does working as an engineer, also falls into the category of 'salaryman' ?

i've been to nagoya only once, and its such a nice place!

although i don't smoke and drink, i'm already used to nomikai and frequently visited several izakayas with my japanese classmates and lab partners; they drink beer, i drink fruit juice. they say that they don't mind me not drinking with them... but i'm just curious. deep down inside, is it considered 'rude' to not join them drink? i don't have a drinking culture, so i don't really know.
