Madagascar has two seasons, a warm, wet season from November to April, and a cooler dry season
between May and October. However, different parts of the country have very different weather.

The east coast is hotter and wetter. In the rainy season, there are strong winds, and these can cause a
lot of damage. The central part of the country is drier and cooler. But the summer is usually sunny and
dry, but it can be cold, especially in the mornings, with freezing showers and even snow in
mountainous areas. And the west coast is the driest part of the island.

Let’s be blunt: If you like to take lots of vacations, the United States is not the place to work.

Besides a handful of national holidays, the typical American worker bee gets two or three precious
weeks off out of a whole year to relax and see the world — much less than what people in many other
countries receive.

And even that amount of vacation often comes with strings attached. Some U.S. companies don’t like
employees taking off more than one week at a time. Others expect them to be on call or check their e-
mail even when they’re lounging on the beach or taking a hike in the mountains.
