Hard working

Today, i was speaking with my Uncle thanks to the marvel of techonlogy and we came on the discution about Japanese working "harder" and i was very happy to explain to him the concept that hard in Japan means more spending alot of time to work compared to his own working hard would be putting up with the occasional overtime were as here it would be expected. It is nice to see that over time i finaly can see that i undertsand and i can explain to him but the key work of the day was ... "different", because actually thats what it is different.
