why do the westerns seem to have a lot of free time?

Question

I mean they have full-time job yet they seem to have a lot of free time to travel. i wonder how they do that. In asia or at least where I live we BARELY have time to travel because we have to work. only high-standard people the the owner of the company can travel anywhere they want, whenever they want. because they're the real deal. I see tourist literally everyday.

Answer 1

There are a lot of Americans and other Westerners. They all get at least 2 weeks annual holidays but many get just that. However what you are seeing is a rotation of them where some come and go so it looks like they have a lot of vacation time.

Answer 2

That’s one of the differences between the First and the Third World. First World cultures starting with the Ancient Greeks needed "free time" to engage in artistic and intellectual pursuits. Unfortunately, currently many people use their "free time" in absurd, useless and moronic pursuits, like video games, binge tv watching, compulsive shopping, etc. But they still value and 'need' their "free time".
