I Need a Vacation

So my friend in Paris just sent me an e-mail detailing his plans for his 1 Month Vacation (aka Holiday). Yes, you read that right 1 Month. Now tell me why we live in here?

So I asked: "How are you able to head back to work after such a long break?"
His response: "Holiday is our national sport. We are trained to cross long periods without working (but being paid)!"

What a life, right?
