Four weeks seems to be the norm here. Plus there are a lot more public holidays (and everyone seems to pack in for two weeks over xmas/new year as well)
And we still get less than other European countries like Italy, France and Germany...

>>Thx. I'm planning on taking a LOT of time off this year. Already had a couple of weeks and another two weeks planned for late August.
>>Always amazed at how hard-working you americans are :-}
