The desire to be the best is expressed in everything they do, especially in architecture and money.
For example, there is the 121-meter Liebian Building skyscraper.
But the particularity of the building is an incredible artificial waterfall 108 meters high, the maintenance system of the waterfall alone occupies 4 complete floors of the skyscraper!
Running the waterfall is quite expensive, and the electricity alone costs $116 per hour.
It is for this reason that the waterfall only operates during holidays.
When you're traveling on the subway in Tokyo, walking down the street, or working in a Japanese office, don't be surprised to see people sleeping everywhere.
People are real workaholics and therefore take advantage to take a 30-minute nap during their travels to feel better.
There's even a special name for sleeping on the job.
This is called inemuri and it is considered a sign of dedication to work.
In South Korea, it is forbidden to use colored pens
Indeed, to send greeting cards, thanks, congratulations or birthdays, it is normal to use pens of different colors in order to brighten up the message.
There are different rules that govern cleanliness and order in Asia.
As proof, there are even special shoes for going to the toilet.
It may seem unnecessary at first, but these slippers are used to minimize contact between the dirty bathroom floor and the clean floor of the rest of the apartment.
It may be hard to accept, but there is only one time zone in China, although geographically this country is huge and could include 5 zones – there is only Beijing time!
For those living on the east coast of China, it can be very easy to be in tune with the official time zone.
But people in the western provinces may be uncomfortable.
For example, in Kashgar, the westernmost city in China, you can enjoy sunsets in July until 11 p.m.
