Nothing will be closed. The highways will be jammed.

Don't expect banks and all government, except police and military to be operating.

Yep, that's why I'm already home since last night. It was smooth sailing Sunday afternoon, but terrible traffic jam stau on Saturday. I noticed yesterday on Sunday that traffic going into Seoul on the other lane was the same nightmare as on Saturday. Cars too packed and not moving fast enough. It took 6.5 hours to get to Seoul with no toilet break stop, but usually takes 3 hours 10 minutes. It only took 3 hours 20 minutes to get back home yesterday with a 10 minute break.

I understand how it works. If you've waited until Tuesday to bus back, hope that you can make it to work on Wednesday morning as it'll all be over capacity everywhere. These rare holiday periods seem to be a terrible time to travel as everyone wants to bust out a move on the road at the same damned time. Best to take 1st Saturday morning buses to places you want to go during regular weekends as it's not a problem, but you only have 1 night to stay away.

I thought it downright sucked how too many people were out and with bad attitudes due to being under many stresses of over population and over burdened infrastructure this past weekend. We need staggered time off where not everyone are off at the same time like in the West where everyone takes vacation at different times of the year though Christmas is our biggie where too many travel at the same time.

Oh, it's high travel season holiday, you can't go as all flights are booked out and nothing is available. Oh, the big festival is canceled due to extremist protesters. How disappointing. Just an Advil, cheese, and beer run instead of a cultural experience including live music, big drums, party, and fun. Let's drink beer and catch weird fish we've never seen. Today, I caught 2 strange small catfish. Darned buggers swallowed the hooks and I feel bad for killing them as they were only 4 inches long and need a chance to get big. I want to catch the big ones, if they're present.
