[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the US, I think this may be true. Americans live like dogs, with no vacation.
My grandparents lived in Europe and were working class. They travelled all over the continent, often by bus, camping, staying in hostels etc. I think that type of travel is very common in Europe compared to here. As far as I can tell, poorer Americans just travel to see family or maybe one week a year in somewhere like Ocean City. Most campsites seem to be filled with people from nearby, e.g. people from DC might go to Assateague.[/quote]

I agree with this in general.  They value work over all else and if both people in a couple don't work people seriously judge.

I will say, however, that my relatives of French descent have a more balanced view of life.  They have vacation homes where they summer.

They're wealthy rednecks though and do a lot of going on cruises and AIs in Mexico.  They winter in Arizona.

Their vacation and second home choices are not the ones I would make.  But their lives seem nice regardless.  To each his own![/quote]
