In the U.S. we like to celebrate the Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo on May 5th. But in Korea, May 5th is a national holiday for children and it just so happens to be called: Children's Day. All of the schools will be closed tomorrow so that these estudient students get a day off racking their brains with school work. They even get presents! [There's also a parents' day, but I don't think they get a day off of work--it's probably just like Mothers'/Fathers' day except in one.]
Anywho, my school's Principle decided to be awesome and give all of us a 5-day weekend! I get May 5th, 6th, and 7th off of school! It couldn't have come at a better time. I really need to start cleaning, packing, and getting ready to get back to Florida. Plus, I think I'll do a few touristy things while I'm off. Perhaps a Palace tour in Seoul, or something like that.
Oh, and apparently one of the foreigner bars in Bucheon we go to called Rhythm and Booze (a.k.a. Seinfelds), is having a Quatro de Mayo party tonight that we might go to. Cheap tequilla shots and corona...I'm going to have to cut myself off early so I don't ruin my day tomorrow since there is no "last call" in Korea.
I love May! :)
