    Clearly these kind of holidays cannot be found in Japan,
I think.  I wish I had.

    Yeah, we official servants gets 20 paid vacation days a year.
But no. of days remain same until we get old and retired.  I don't
know about the other companies in Japan.

    So the situasion seems similar in Japan as you've descirbed.
Perhaps the problem lays in that very few people use all of ther
rights to take his/her vacation.  Of course I shall use them all.
