Its Thanksgiving here in Korea. They call it ?? (Chuseok to you folks back home.)

I’m off on both Friday and Monday so I’ll have a four day weekend. Korea doesn’t make any distinction between holidays that fall on a weekday or weekend, and this one is officially a three day weekend from Friday thru Sunday. Monday is not an official holiday but my school is closing. This year, many of the holidays have fallen on the weekend and we didn’t get any extra days off.
Last year, they all seemed to fall on either Friday or Monday so we had a lot of three day weekends. This year we got the shaft and have gone months sometimes without a holiday break. Next year I think its back to something liveable.

Anyway, we’ll head off to Pohang for the weekend on Friday evening and probably come back on Sunday evening. Another weekend on the floor. Woo hoo. This year, I’m bringing my bicycle so during those long afternoons of watching Korean TV I plan on getting some miles on the bike.
MyeongHee’s mom lives on the coast and the road adjacent to the sea is a fabulous twisty turny thing. If the weather holds I hope to get some nice coastline/mountain photos.
