A man enjoys his day at Patong Beach, Phuket Island Thailand.
You're on vacation but can you relax?
In a September 26, 2006 interview that appeared on Jörg Colberg's blog Conscientious, American photographer Chris Jordan discussed the workaholic culture in America by stating:
"Today we are working more hours than any other society in the world. On average, Americans work three months longer per year than Europeans, who themselves work more than the people in most other countries. We are slowly killing ourselves, and we all feel it."
Judging from this beachgoers reaction to a parachute parked in front of him, leaving only a small hole through which to view the ocean, my guess is the man didn't hail from America.
Although this beach was heavily damaged during the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami (tidal wave), you can see it's a great place to enjoy life.
If you have a destination you want to promote in SE Asia, email me and maybe we can work something out.

I just discovered your blog and really enjoy your photography. Interesting quote, though, because I have lived in Asia (Korea, China) and Europe (France) and it definitely seems to me that Americans are (in general) NOT among the hardest working in the world, but may have a place among the most demanding.
