Feierabend

Germans enjoy their free time. They work hard, but they also know how to take time off. That's probably why they have a special word for the end of the work day: "Feierabend." It's a composition of the words "celebrate" and "evening" -- but Feierabend has nothing to do with evening. It can come at any time of day or night. And on Fridays, it often comes as early as 1:00 in the afternoon! It looks like this businessman can hardly wait for Feierabend.
