Helping homeless Bolivians during the holidays has become a tradition for one La Paz church, but this year, the coronavirus pandemic has forced volunteers to curtail their support.

Canada to promote holidays at home because of COVID-19 border closures

Shopping centers, street markets and high-end stores in Pakistan have been bustling with customers for the past few days in preparation for the Eid-el Fitr, a religious festival that marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Shops busy in Karachi ahead of Eid el Fitr

<p>For the Emperor's abdication on April 30, Japanese workers are enjoying an unprecedented 10-day holiday as a rash of special days off combine with the traditional "Golden Week" in May.</p>

<p>But not everyone is popping the champagne corks in famously workaholic Japan.</p>

<p>"To be honest, I don't know how to spend the time when we are suddenly given 10 days of holidays," said 31-year-old finance worker Seishu Sato.</p>

<p>"If you want to go travelling, it's going to be crowded everywhere and tour costs have surged... I might end up staying at my parents' place," he said.</p>

<p>A survey by the Asahi Shimbun daily showed 45 per cent of Japanese "felt unhappy" about the long vacation, with only 35 per cent saying they "felt happy".</p>

<p>"I won't be able to take days off. On the contrary, we'll be super-busy," said Takeru Jo, a 46-year-old pizzeria worker.</p>

<p>Others who have to work over the period complain about childcare.</p>

<p>"For parents in the service sector, the 10 days of holiday is a headache. After-school care, nurseries -- everything is closed," tweeted one disgruntled parent.</p>

<p>Many expect Tokyo and other large cities to empty as Japanese seize the rare opportunity for an overseas trip.</p>

<p>"Most of our tours for the holiday period were sold out last year," said Hideki Wakamatsu, a spokesman for Nippon Travel Agency, adding that many others were on the waiting list.</p>

<p>As the holiday kicked off on Saturday, airports were packed and there were long queues for Shinkansen bullet trains. Highways out of Tokyo were jammed with motorists aiming to make a getaway from the capital.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>'Love marriage'</strong></p>

<p>Still, if people are curiously indifferent to the idea of extra holidays as a result of the emperor, the imperial family remains as popular as ever.</p>

<p>A poll by public broadcaster NHK found almost no one would admit to a "feeling of antipathy" towards the emperor with the vast majority saying they had a "positive feeling" or "respect." Only 22 per cent voiced indifference.</p>

<p>This positive sentiment has risen every year since 2003, according to the NHK poll.</p>

<p>Takeshi Hara, politics professor at the Open University of Japan, said much of this stemmed from the imperial couple's "welfare-related activities".</p>

<p>"Their attention to the elderly, the disabled and the victims of natural disasters -- those ignored by politicians in the past three decades -- has earned public support," Hara told AFP.</p>

<p>The fact that Emperor Akihito married his sweetheart Michiko "for love" -- the first love marriage in imperial history -- has also boosted his standing, said Hara.</p>

<p>But Hideto Tsuboi, from the Kyoto-based International Research Center for Japanese Studies, said one of the main reasons for Akihito's popularity lay in the fact that he was "conscious of the responsibility of the post-war generation" to reflect on Japan's wartime atrocities.</p>

<p>On the 73rd anniversary of the end of World War II last year, Akihito reiterated "deep remorse" over the war and his continued wishes for peace.</p>

<p>Unlike in many constitutional monarchies, there is almost no republican movement to speak of and criticism of the emperor is anathema -- a phenomenon known as the Chrysanthemum taboo, after the throne.</p>

<p>Hara said that while tabloids are beginning to dig deeper into the royals' private lives, memories of right-wing atrocities against imperial opponents "means there is pressure not to criticise the emperor in public".</p>

<p>In 1961, a right-winger invaded the house of a publishing company's president and stabbed his housekeeper to death over a novel perceived to be critical of the imperial family.</p>

<p>More recently, in 1990, the then-mayor of Nagasaki was shot and injured after he remarked that Akihito's father Hirohito was partially responsible for World War II.</p>

<p>However, a reminder that security needs to be maintained was provided just days before the abdication ceremonies when two knives were found at the school desk of Japan's Prince Hisahito, Akihito's grandson.</p>

<p><strong>'Highly religious nature'</strong></p>

<p>While criticism of the emperor is virtually non-existent, there has been some opposition to the financing of some of the ceremonies surrounding the abdication and enthronement.</p>

<p>More than 200 Japanese citizens have filed a lawsuit against the government for planning to use taxpayer money to fund the ceremonies.</p>

<p>They say the ceremonies are religious in nature and funding them from the public purse breaks the constitutional principle separating religion and state.</p>

<p>They received unexpected backing from a member of the imperial household, Prince Akishino, the emperor's youngest son, who will become Crown Prince when his brother Naruhito ascends the throne.</p>

<p>Noting that one of the rituals "has a highly religious nature", Akishino mused: "I wonder if it is appropriate to finance this highly religious thing with state funds."</p>

Extra abdication holidays pose dilemma for hardworking Japanese

<p>It is said that the key to finding happiness is by attaining a state where you learn how to balance the multi-faceted life -- where one necessity does not spill over and consume another. Where you don’t have to let go of your sleep to clock-in mandatory hours at work, or where life doesn’t just become a hallway between work and home.</p>

<p>Statistics show alarming findings on the 'happiness quotient' in people across the world. Some of most progressive countries are also those where people are clocking-in more than 40 hours a week.</p>

<p>India, on an average, has people working for an average 45 hours in a week, which roughly sums up to 8 hours, six days a week or 9 hours for five days in a week. According to the World Happiness Report released earlier this year, Indians aren’t the happiest in the world, on the contrary, the country stands at the 133rd spot out of 156 nations that were analysed for this year’s report.</p>

<p>Expedia 2018 Vacation Deprivation Report&nbsp;suggests that around 75 per cent vacation deprived people in the world are Indians. Nearly half cited work as the primary reason for not being able to take a break.</p>

<p>The study was conducted across countries in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America.</p>

<p>Some of the important findings indicate that around 34 per cent Indians who were on a vacation were constantly in touch with their colleagues or checked their work emails at least once a day.
