It is also very common for people to have very long lunchbreaks in the PRC.
I've heard and seen ones so long that they go and take naps or even go to the gym.
That is completely unheard of in the west.

That said, I personally don't give a f if I'm compensated, which I am.

I think Japan and Korea may be even worse!
