Well .. yeah, but with an educational system like the one we've got in North America, it's impossible to be away for too long, cuz you're basically missing on most of the material, while in Bulgaria (and I think most of Europe), we know that we're stuck with the same subjects the whoooole year and you know what you'll be doing in advance, because you've got the books :]] And we know that a few absences won't affect our marks so dramatically :] So that is why you can allow yourself a little break from time to time
And, of course, you have to make sure you're not missing the essentials while being away :]
