   It's pretty well known that workers in a lot of Asian countries are   
   expected to put the company first, above family, and work 60 or 70   
   hours a week with no extra pay. That sort of thing would wear on you   
   after a while.. and I suppose if it's not forced or paid then it is a   
   self induced pressure..  although I suppose you might lose your job   
   if you don't do that when everyone else is..
