Well, gaming?
I mean, it's the obvious choice for me because I have no social life and other hobbies or pastimes. I don't know, maybe that's just me.

How does a typical SG user spend their new found free time?
What your typical dude does with their free time, of course. You know... waxing your car......
Comment has been collapsed.
When I'm not waxing my car, I'm usually fighting the purple helmet warrior that keeps rearing its ugly head in my neighborhood.

Or jumping out of windows to fight the Great Eyeball Overlord of the Netherlands

Free time? What's that?! Anyway, maybe sleeping...
Comment has been collapsed.
The UK!
Extra sleep? Pffft I like to spend my holidays almost anywhere but my home.
BTW, you forgot to add the Middle East, which is a "region" :P

Western Asia maybe? I take the very broad definition
Comment has been collapsed.
This and that.

Every day means extra sleep for me.
Mainly I play League of Legends(for the last 4+ years), although there are a lot of other games I play.
I don't understand why you didn't list Australia alone(and Americas).
Comment has been collapsed.
I think its the Tennis. They always reference Asia-Pacific as a meta region so I stick to that

You should try it. Cooking is one of the most useful skills you'll ever pick up

I'm confused, I am from America. I have never heard this term "Public Holiday", could you please explain it to me?
Comment has been collapsed.
I assumed it meant a holiday which isn't specially for you, but rather a national/whatever holiday such as Christmas.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think you guys call it State holiday. Basically set by the government for a particular state
Comment has been collapsed.
We really call them federal holidays. We don't really have state holidays. Here's a list of this year's:
- Thursday, January 1 New Year’s Day
- Monday, January 19 Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Monday, February 16* Washington’s Birthday
- Monday, May 25 Memorial Day
- Friday, July 3** Independence Day
- Monday, September 7 Labor Day
- Monday, October 12 Columbus Day
- Wednesday, November 11 Veterans Day
- Thursday, November 26 Thanksgiving Day
- Friday, December 25 Christmas Day
Depending on the job, some people might have as few as one of those off.

We've got one made specifically for a day before a major sporting event. Sound ridiculous?

I thought Idependence Day is on July 4? But I'm no American, so maybe I am mistaken.

When major holidays are on a weekend, their requisite day-off falls to a day of the week. Usually, if its a Saturday, then things will be closed for Friday as well, and if its a Sunday, then Mondays have everything shut down. That way, its still a three-day weekend.

lucky americans! in germany it doesnt matter which day a major holiday fells on ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, but you're also much more likely to come across German and Austrian chicks, so you've got that going for you as well! :)

have two weeks of holiday starting on monday so i will....
play games ofc
Comment has been collapsed.
For me: Depends on the day, and the day after.
The norm here though is to get drunk the evening before the public holiday, or if the public holiday is just before a day you're likely to have off anyway (or if it just happens to be one of those days that calls for a drink no matter the consequences)).
Comment has been collapsed.
Not fully drunk but a few frothies is a good way to end the week yes

I'm from Antartica!
The only Holiday we have is The Penguiny Day, when, every year, we make a sacrifice to our god Gaben Penguiny for him to not set the sun down. That way we can have a longer day and be more productive!

I sleep and play games... which would be so good right about now, but no holiday for me until Christmas :(

I wonder whether a mysterious virus eradicated all life overnight because I always forget about public holidays. I also hate it when I feel like eating Chinese and the takeaway is closed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Depends on holiday ;) There are some that you spend with your family (like Xmas, Easter, Hallow's Eve) and there are ones that are just free days (Independence Day for example) - he seconds I usually sleep longer, play video games or go out drinking with friends.
as for 2nd question: I'm from Poland
Comment has been collapsed.
Europe (UK) and I usually do one of a few things:
- Go out for the day. Seasisde, countryside or places with history and museums etc.
- Stay home and work in the garden or some sort of diy project like put up that shelf I've been meaning to do, paint a fence, fix something-or-other
- Barbecue and booze with friends, sometimes without the barbecue
- Quite a lot of sport on certain holidays so I sometimes sit on my backside all day watching that
Comment has been collapsed.
depends. on summer i spend time sunbathing or running on the coast. if it's winter i organize a meeting with friends or just watch a movie.
also, gaming no matter the season i'm in xD

Ha, love the fail moments! I've been there myself one too many times
Comment has been collapsed.
I have kids. (period) :)
EDIT: Wait, I didn't mean that I like to go have kids in my spare time...been there, done that - now they ARE my spare time. :P

It's going to be a public holiday here and everyone knows that means extra sleep
But what after that? How does a typical SG user spend their new found free time? Let me know what you fancy, useful things you get up to.
Also I'm wondering where everyone is from. It feels like I'm the only person from my region here. Chat chat (:
