Yeah I think this is something a lot of people forget. The work culture in many Asian cities is much, much more intense than much of Europe for example - as an expat we can typically move into jobs that are sometimes less demanding than the jobs locals have to do.
Realistically, I’d rather take the 5 weeks of holiday plus bank holidays that I get in the UK than the time off my Korean friend gets in Japan. It is extremely hard to even book a week off unless its its golden week.
