Lunar New Year

Unlike the solar new year holiday (January 1st), the lunar new year holiday changes dates every year.  Sometimes it is in February, but this year it is in January, tomorrow (Sunday) and Monday.

The biggest human migration on Earth occurs at this time in China, as millions of people return home to celebrate the holiday with their families.

Here in Korea there is also a big movement of people; it's a very bad time to travel, so myself and the other foreign teachers at my school are mostly staying put.

It's still a nice break from work though:)
