Lunar New Year
Sunday, Jan 29 is Lunar New Year day. As we do every year, my wife and I will be taking a 2 hour trip south of Seoul to her home town. There's always a mass exodus during this holiday as millions of other Seoulites do the same. We normally leave the day before, but this year we are leaving 2 days prior in order to avoid traffic. The 2 hour trip can turn into 6 hours if we don't time it right. It's actually Friday morning here in Korea as I post this, and we will be heading out in a couple of hours.It's equally important to time the return trip. This year, we will be returning in the early afternoon on New Year's Day. The traffic has become unpredictable in the past few years, but I'm hoping we won't hit it on the return. Wish me luck!
