Can some one give me a run down of the dates I can guarantee ill be off ie korean holidays?

Hopefully I can get a Hagwon that lets me have up to 4 days in the winter and for days in the summer consecutive for my vaca days.

Trying to get an idea how to schedule my travels in Asia.

Thanks

If you're only getting 8 vacation days a year then keep looking, most hagwons give 10 days plus national holidays.

No one can say what days you will have off for sure since all schools plan their vacations at different times. The 2 vacation periods will probably be in late July and late Dec/early Jan to coincide with the public school holidays.

National holidays, aka 'red days', can be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_South_Korea

Yeah, I wouldn't work anywhere that didn't offer the full ten days in two five day blocks.
