Only Japanese are working in Japan now.

It's the scenery at the entrance of one foreign securities company at the start of working hours yesterday. Many employees are coming to their office. Many. Hmm... There is something strange. I feel something is wrong. Oh, yes! There are no foreigners among them. It's the foreign securities company. Usually most employees are foreigners.

Oh! They have already been on holiday. Christmas holiday. Yes, always ONLY Japanese work at the end of the year in the companies. Every year's situation is the same.

Most companies in Japan finish at on the 28th at the end of the year. But finance-related companies usually open till 29th or 30th. Hmm... Good luck, hard worker working Japanese!

Thank you for the correction, PA!

Thank you!
Oh, yes. I must use "on" before date. But I don't know why I need "the" before date. How to use "the" is one of the most difficult things in English for Japanese.

Yeah...I didn't correct the definite articles because I know it's so difficult...:-)
