I think everyone love holiday, no matter you are a student or staff. It seems holiday time always pass so quickly. I also love my job and happy to come back to my job after holiday. However, it is better to have more time to do some personal things like travel, visit friends and so on.
In my opinion, one will regret when he or she is old and review his or her whole life if he or she just work and no very little about the wonderful world. So i would like to spend more time on traveling and others.
What's your opinion? I will be glad if you like to share with me your idea.

Hi summerrainkylily,
I come form India and i must say India is a country of holiday. We have on an average 3 to 4 government holidays every month apart from saturdays and sundays ( only sunday if your in a college). Some months like Oct and Nov is big on holidays . They have over 5 days of holidays each. Then Govt. employees get lots of other kind of holidays which can be up to 20 days of casual leaves, 30 days of earned leaves and 20 days of medical leaves every year.

When I teach full time in a school I have two weeks at Christmas time, two weeks at Easter Time and six weeks in the summer time. I also have half terms of one week each. There can be lots of planning to do for the next term. I find that airfares are very pricey in the summer holidays. Most working people have around 20 to 30 days holiday per year in my home country. Some students have a gap year and take a year out of the country for traveling overseas.

We love holidays! It is an opportunity to have quality time with our families, to travel and take a relaxing break from work.
If there are a group of persons not happy with these holidays, they are employers who complain that overtime pays adds to their operational costs and those working on a no work, no pay labor rule. They lose income when it's a holiday and they don't have to report for work.

Hi, summerrainylily!! Really, in China, i have 11 days for Spring Festerval. Visiting friends, family goes together to celebrate new year, traveling to city nearby. This is really wonderful, but a little tired. In China, we have a lot of holiday, almost every month.

We all love holidays don't we? Unless one is overly workaholic of course! Every one needs a break because all work and no play makes John a dull boy. So inasmuch as i don't wanna be dull I always want to live a balance life. I am happy that we do have enough holidays in our country so that we could enjoy vacation with the family during holidays.

One definitely needs some rest and outings to recoup his energy and perform better at his work place. I too feel recharged when I come back from holidays and body seems to be full of energy and eager to work. In my country India there are too many holidays being secular country and all religions get equal status here. Festivals of all religions are celebrated with holidays. These are too many for comfort because lot of time is wasted particularly in Govt. departments. People have to wait for longer times to get government clearances.

With our previous president he had lots of holidays. So long that everybody was happy except us, travel agents...hahaha... We cannot have a long leave because we need to report to the office for the many requests of our clients with the many long weekends for the past years.

Absolutely, nobody don't like holiday.But in the public holiday, holiday means most of people will do same things at same time, so that will bring trouble to our life,no parking space,too many people in the park,street,shop.... I would rather arrange my holiday myself than be arranged. I prefer to invite some friends to travel together if I can control my holiday.
