Welcome fellow new person!
Looking back, the "4 days" guesstimate might have been off the mark, but not by a wide margin. Like I said: 'voracious'.
Though, my job does offer a bit of free time while on the clock. Usually by midweek I'm caught up on my work and looking for a distraction. My work is at a college computer lab, offering basic computer help for adults who aren't as knowledgeable as they want or need to be. APA formatting, plagiarism and why its a bad thing, accessing the internet, student website navigation, copy/paste... That said, its generally pretty quiet.
I've never been to any Asia, let alone east Asia. I grew up in the upper Midwest of the United States, but don't hold that against me.
Good luck with all the bandwidth!
