National Holidays in Korea
Koreans officially follow the Gregorian Calander, though some holidays are based on the Lunar Calender, such as Seollar, Chuseok and Buddha's Birthday. During the official holidays, offices and banks are closed but palaces, museums, most restaurnts, department stores and amusement facilities are open. Parents' Day (May 8), and Teacher's Day (May 15) are not national holidays but are celebrated with much love and respect.
