Basically to him it was just a 12 hour commute
I guess it depends on the place, the work and the person. You have to take the initiative to go out after work, regardless of how tired you are. Most countries have a very lively social system weekdays so it's there if you want to find it. My boss went to Dublin for a week and while he worked he requisite 40 hours he sacrificed the 8 hours nightly of rest to go out every night and drink in the pubs. If you're only going for a week or two you can punish your body and come back haggered if you really want to enjoy yourself.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
