Some lady at school told me it's some holiday tomorrow but I haven't found any online that are tomorrow. Is this right? She said it's like a Labor Day in Korea and a lot of stores will be closed. |

Home plus is only closed 2 days of the year (Chuseok and lunar new year) and they have been known to open on the new year.
They will be open tomorrow. |

so how is it exactly living in that world of yours where you are so incredibly isolated, protected and oblivious you aren't even aware May 1st is an international day of expression for the working class aka Unions?
sigh, so much information is distorted, censored and ignored. it's a pity, really.
anyway, here's a link:

Korea has unions, the teachers' union (I've heard) is the strongest. Retail outlets very very rarely have unions anywhere, so don't worry, am sure all will be open for your capitalistic indulgence  |

Moosehead I really don't care about your opinion if you saw me in person I bet you wouldn't say that to my face. I have only been here a month so everything is still new. You are nothing to me, you are just a piece of shit. This is why I left the U.S. *beep* you, if you are so great why are you not working a more prestigious job? We are all doing the same thing so go *beep* yourself and the rest with their stupid smart ass comments. *beep* you, *beep* you, *beep* you. |

Moosehead,
May 1st is Mayday. Its celebrated in communist countires as a workers day. Commies wrap a string around a maypole. The US has their Labor Day in September.
Mayday is not an official holiday in Korea. Hence its not highlighted in red on your calendar. Only some work places have it off. Actually in recent years it has been somewhat of a guerilla holiday in Korea considering South Korea's history of anti communism. |

my my you really are a smart one aren't you?
go back under the rock you crawled out of you prokaryotic little twerp and continue smoking the dope you obviously love so much
btw, I would have no problem whatsoever saying this to your face.
It's shameful that so many people don't understand and appreciate how much unions have given the world - what - was daddy a big time corporate lawyer or something? he raise you to the tune of money, I suppose, right?
pathetic, really it is. |
