Vacations around the world

Vacation time is a very important part in the life of all people in the world. People
from different cultures spend their vacations in different ways. The number of
vacation days ranges from 10 to 30, being the Europeans such as Germans, French
and Swede the luckiest for having 30 days of vacations; the Latin American countries
with a big number of vacation days are Brazil, Panama and Peru with 25 days. The
unluckiest country is China having just 10 days and being vacations not mandatory.
Taking into account this aspect, people can decide what to do and how to enjoy their
vacations. Let’s see what people from Germany, Brazil and China say about their
future vacations.

What are you going to do in your next vacations?
