I said 4 - 6 weeks; you are focusing on the "6" but I know many, many Dutch (my neighbors, actually) who are gone a full month every summer, like clockwork. Nearly everyone on my street. It's always either July or August. You say people "only" get 5 weeks of holiday, but that only supports my main point about the huge difference between that and what Americans are used to.
