Yellowstone and Vacations

Last week I read an article in the newspaper about the average number of paid days off, paid vacation days, people get and also take. The article compared different countries all over the world. Japan ranked last on the list. According to the article, it said that on average, Japanese people get 15 paid days off a year, but only use 8. In America, one avergae people get 13 paid days off, and use 10. However, in many European countries, the numbers are much higher. For example, when you read these numbers you will be jealous!! In "Let=s drink wine and eat cheese and crackers all day"France, they get 38 paid days off a year, and use 36!!! And in "I like to take a nap every day" Spain, they get 30 days and take 27!!! What do you think about that?!?

One my day off, I like to just relax and hang out in my place or in my neighborhood. Sometimes go for a walk, or go to a spa, have a bbq... What about you? What do you like to do on your day off?

And, to change the subject, Yellowstone National Park. That is one of the places I really want to visit some time in my life...
