Similarly, I've heard that Hong Kong is a ghost town during the Lunar New Year. Good if you live there, but it sucks if you're a tourist. BR: Good point.

Their offices will be open, while ours will be closed (at least, my staff will have abandoned their posts). I'll still be answering e-mail. But this long vacation will severely hamper our ability to get things done. Not paying much attention to holiday schedules, I just figured out our associate has pulled a fast one by scheduling a European vacation starting today and returning the 30th. There are things that she's pushing back until her return, which I have now figured out will be the 8th. My clients are mostly foreign, and not in Korea.

You have the city for yourself, there's zero traffic, and nobody in the streets. Pretty much the only week in the year (with lunar new year) when this city is liveable :-) Best place to be during Chuseok is definitely Seoul.

At least for Chuseok, I could argue that it's a religious holiday (for ancestor worship).... Hmmm, I should see if there’s a way to have these holidays recognized here in Canada.

Sixteen days in Cambodia and Thailand, and with the Thai coup the baht has weakened a bit and perhaps scared off some of the other punters. Good books, a nice beach, and some affordable golf. A happy Chusok to you all. Why stop at 9 days? Sixteen days in Cambodia and Thailand, and with the Thai coup the baht has weakened a bit and perhaps scared off some of the other punters.
