Tokyo's a real rat race!

Do you know what this expression mean?


According to thefreedictionary.com it means:


A fierce struggle for success, especially in one's career or business. 


or


A noun meaning a difficult, tiring, often competitve routine  or activity.


To remember the meaning just imagine a bunch of rats fighting or racing each other! Another good image is when you see video of tokyo or New York at super speed...


A: I heard you're quitting your job.
B: Yeah I'm tired of the rat race. I'm going to move to the country.
A: Sounds nice.


Any questions?
