It's been an ideal travel destination for us. Primarily because it has the richest culture in the world. This continent has been at the center of historical transitions: monarchies, empires and etc.<br /><br />Also, the fact that they value longer vacations there is not a bad idea either. That way, the average employee would be able to unwind and work efficiently.<br /><br />Good luck!travel social mediahttp://www.minglejet.com/aboutusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-83790726213888487372009-06-29T15:05:56.253-04:002009-06-29T15:05:56.253-04:00Oh man... this is so true. we need more vacation!
...Oh man... this is so true. we need more vacation!<br /><br />It's not even July yet & i've already taken an extended weekend (TO VEGAS!) & i had a blast, but i feel like the summer hadn't even started & my memorial day vacation was it for me. i almost feel like the summer is over & it technically has just begun. no one should feel that way BEFORE celebrating independence day with beer, hot dogs & fireworks. <br /><br />I was turned on to your blog by my bestie jennifer (the Novelista Barista). she said that i'd like your writing & she was right! You sound a lot like me! I too am cashing in a whopping 8 days of my measly 10 vacation days for a childhood friends wedding (where i will be a bridesmaid!)<br /><br />oh the things we do for old friends and weddings... 80% of my vacation, untouched until november... ::tear::<br /><br />i will absolutely continue to read about your adventures. i look forward to reading about Greece (i'm DYING to go there!) & your take on the real American Girls life...<br /><br />i'd love to see you around my Social Network www.LivingVicariously.ning.com i think that you may get a kick out of it. You may also enjoy reading my blog entry on my trip to Vegas (might give you a few ideas on what to catch & what to miss) www.SpankyLuvsIt.blogspot.com<br /><br />Nice to "meet" you!<br /><br />luv spanky*spanky*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10074960146047347168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-50704751488556534782009-06-26T16:31:02.221-04:002009-06-26T16:31:02.221-04:00To add some more ...

Also there are some religious holidays like Christmas and Easter of which we have 2 days (1st Easterday on Sunday and 2nd Easterday on Monday).<br />It also doesn't matter if you've just started working at a company, you just get the ratio of the months you have to go until the end of the year (if you start in June, you get 12 vacationdays working 40hrs a week).<br /><br />Oh, if you get sick, you are also paid, even if you're home for 3 weeks with a crazy flu.<br /><br />If you don't use up your vacationdays by the end of December, you just add the left over days to the vacationdays of the next year :)<br /><br />Oh, do you want to know that we get vacationmoney as well? Each year with the salaryslip of May. It's a percentage of your yearly income and it's not bad either :-D<br />My American friends hate me for that.<br /><br />(looking forward now to my 2nd vacation of this year: 1 week Iceland and in November 2 weeks to Long Island/New Jersey)Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968227536707360571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791125355431273627.post-8449359963326400422009-06-26T10:54:50.444-04:002009-06-26T10:54:50.444-04:00That might possibly one of the reasons why I moved...That might possibly one of the reasons why I moved.
