Japanese People are Tired People - Photo of the Day

Call me a creeper, but I took photos of these tired kids in Japan. School pressure, stress from family expectations, they go to juku almost everyday of the week, and they have school on two Saturdays per month. Juku (or properly called Gakushū juku, cram schools) are special private schools offering lessons conducted after regular school hours and on the weekends. Japanese students attend these classes to improve scores on upper-secondary school entrance examinations. It’s essentially more school, afterschool.

 

This is a rare moment I thank my mom and dad for immigrating to Canada - I got to enjoy my childhood!

After his head tilts right, left, right, left, almost on to the man's shoulder, it bounces back and rests on the armrest rail

The sailor uniform girl is clearly passed out on her school bag. No movement. As for the boy on the left, his head tilts right, left, right, left, almost on to the man's shoulder, it bounces back and rests on the armrest rail. Hope he doesn't get up suddenly and hit his head on the metal!

      Good pics … I think that people are so tired in Japan cause there work and school days are so long, especially compared to north american lifestyle !
