Done Deal! You're on.
I'll swap jobs with ya straight across. You get to live in concrete hell with the Japanese Borg. I get to live in cool, lyrical Belfast.
Hell, I throw in my Benz an western apartment for free if you let me keep my Japanese wife.

If you could just imagine these Japanese dipshits walking around in suits, it would crack you up. And there are millions of them! 40 degrees and they're marching off to work in long pants, an undershirt, collar buttoned, suit jacket and a farkquing tie.


NHK TV every year has a program showing "scientifically" with body-worn thermometers and computers that wearing an undershirt under a whilte dress shirt is "cooler." If the Borg TV says so, it must be true, right?

... Direct sweat evaporation from the skin will lead to full effectiveness. Sweat that evaporates from cloth will cool the cloth and the cloth will cool the skin, which obvious will dramatically reduces the EC. “Sweat efficiency” is a term used now and then and <can roughly present the influence of different factors on the evaporation process. i.e., whenever 1 [ml] of sweat reduces 0.6 [kcal] from body heat, it considered as 100% sweat efficiency. 50% sweat efficiency is a case where 1 [ml] of sweat will reduce only 0.3 [kcal]. Wearing undershirt in hot dry day (90 F 25% RH) will reduce sweat efficiency to 50%. The fact that clothing affecting the efficiency of cooling, is trivially understood.

You have quite a distaste for Japanese business people it would seem, especially for someone living in Tokyo (?). What exactly is the 'Japanese Borg' and the 'Borg TV' by the way? I know there's a local understanding of 'the borg', but I doubt that extends to Japan hehe.
