My roadtrip to Pati and Semarang

During the holidays, I went on a roadtrip wirh my family to Pati and Semarang. We went through Pantura road at night, so it was quite dark. My brother was driving and my parents were asleep, so I had to accompany him. In the middle of the night, there were lots of potholes and we had to avoid the potholes to prevent damaging our car, so we drove quite slow. The most interesting thing that happened is when a car crashed right infront of us because he fell asleep or something, so we helped him out and waited for someone else to come and help so we can continue our roadtrip. When we arrived at Pati, it was already 4am, so we went straight to sleep. The next day was quite uneventful, we took the highway to Semarzng and that's it.

Why do Koreans have an after work bonding ritual?

Koreans are known for their quite strict business culture. If you read a lot of korean content, you would know that koreans have an after work-bonding ritual. They would go to a bar or a restaurant, and celebrate the work they've done for the day. This is called "hoesik" (회식), and every business in Korea practices this culture. It breaks hierarchial barriers, closing the distance between the higher-ups and the employees, keeping the work environment friendly. It also functions as a stress relief for employees and higher-ups alike.

I think every business should have this culture. It ensures that everyone is close and understands each other, which can lead to a more effective workplace and better communication between coworkers. Many businesses around the globe suffer from a hostile environment, eith unfriendly higher-ups and forcing employees to work an unhumane amount of time. I think this can help with the problem, as it brings everyone closer emotionally.
