Korean vacation

Postby Inha(42)LeeCheolHwan » Fri Nov 30, 2007 2:27 pm

The vacation is usually very short in korea.

Almost all of people have vacation same period. So they often suffer from terrible traffic jam. :cry:

Lots of Korean people think we have to go somewhen during vacation.

Oterwise they are not satisfied about their holiday. :(

I hope our vacation will be long and more relaxed. :P

That depends what you do on your vacation or when you take your vacation. You are right that we have a famous season for vacation. When the season comes we get stressed from traffic or vacation plans.
My point is that you dont really have to follow others. Honestly you dont have a fixed vacation date. You can choose your vacation dates. :)
In my case, I dont go anywhere on vacation season. I just stay in Seoul. During that time there is no traffic in Seoul. I can relax more than others who stuck in the traffic. :)

Most Korean companies give vacation to their employees with same period. Actually, our vacation period is in August and February on new year's day. I think that it's due to four seasons in Korea and its statutory holidays. You pointed that we suffer from traffic jam and too much people in same well-known places as Haewoondae beach.

Avoiding the trouble in vacation, above all, companies should change their vacation policy. I heard about flexible vacation time from my foreign friend who spent his vacation to learn Korean. His company adopted the flexible vacation time system. It means if an employee want to spend his vacation earlier than the period which was fixed by the company, he or she can use his or her vacation even it is not on vacation time; however, in that case he or she should work during the original vacation time.

I think, Korean vacation isn't short. It's enough.

But the problem is, many people(almost) go on a vacation at sam time!

We must change out mind.

Don't follow another people.

If you want a vacation, then that's the your vacation period.

I am a TESOL student in Hanguk University of Foreign Study and would like to add some modifications to your writing as a homework.
I hope it would help for your study.
---The summer holidays in Korea are usually very short. That's why most people take their holidays in the same period. So, they often suffer from a teffible traffic jam.
Many Korean people think that they should go somewhere during the holidays. Otherwise they are not satisfied with their holidays.
I hope our holidays would be longer and more relaxable.----- by Jeong sol Lee(201052138)
