|
|
Trying to reach someone in Korea from the states and forgot they would be on Chusok holidays... when does Chusok end for most schools? I always think of it as a Thanksgiving like holiday, and assume it is a Thursday and Friday, but that of course is incorrect.
Thanks in advance

Monday and Tuesday I saw your school girl types padding around in their little plaid uniforms. What's the deal on that? Are they actually in school Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday? Back in North America the moment Catholic school is over you burn ass to get home, get out of your uniform, and slip into jeans but here the girls and boys seem to wear their uniforms long into a Saturday night. But I can't see them just lounging around on a holiday in their uniforms. |

wearing a school uniform gets you discounts on subway/buses and other places. |

Hrm. Reminds me suddenly of an old Kids In the Hall skit. There was a pizza parlor next to a catholic girls high school. Any girl in a short plaid skirt got a pizza slice for a quarter. The napkin holder was set high up on the wall, with a stool under the napkin holder forcing the girls in short skirts to climb up and bend and stretch. |
