Thanksgiving in Korea

Actually, Korea thanksgiving day was already over. However, it is one of the biggest holiday in Korea.

According to the news, almost half of Korean move to other places like grandparents's hometown at that time. So, there are really enormous traffic jams all of roads in Korea.

If people's hometown is far from their relative's one(Of course, if comparing it with America, its distance is really close), thanksgivind day is one of a few chances to meet them.

I really like it because 3 to 5 holidays are given to Korea. This period was always fun time to me!!

In the US, there are often lots of people who fly during Thanksgiving break to visit their families. So, although it is not a "traffic jam" per se, it is a busy travel time. If the weather is bad (like we get snow), then people get stuck at airports and cannot visit their families.
