How to Get Your Lazy 'Senpai' Off the Couch

Omocoro

Nice to meet you all. I'm ARuFa. Do you know someone who seems to laze around all day long?

I know one.

http://omocoro.jp/kiji/57283/

His name is Harajuku. He's my senpai (senior) at work.

Take a look at this nearly 40-year-old man who's doing nothing but lazing on the sofa, reading manga while having some snacks. That's a multi-hit combo right there.

When I see someone with no willpower like this, I get worried. So I decided to invite him to go on a trip together.

As for the destination, I figured maybe India.

You've got the crush of 1.2 billion people, the elegant Ganges River, the spicy scent of curry—it's a country full of excitement.

If I could get Harajuku-san to visit India, he'd surely get his energy back!

With that in mind, it was time to issue the invitation.

"...Harajuku-san, would you like to go on a trip overseas with me?"

http://omocoro.jp/kiji/57283/

"Instead of just lazing about all day, don't you think it would be better for you to go out and experience something new?"

http://omocoro.jp/kiji/57283/

"So, Harajuku-san... Around the end of next month, how about we take a trip to India!"
