Most Koreans work 6 days a week.
Banks and government offices open 6 days a week.
For weekdays 9am - 6pm, and on Saturday 9am - 1pm is typical
working time for many Koreans.
Some companies have introduced '5 days a week system'.
Due to the increasing number of cars, the traffic of the road to and
from the big city is very heavy on a week.
But there are many good places around the country and in the city.
We have a very cold winter and very hot and humid summer, so
indoor activities rather than outdoor activities are popular among
people.
Bowling and table tennis is popular sports and indoor swimming pool
is always full of people.
This can be a reason for many Koreans going overseas during their
vacations.

The school system in Korea follows a 6-3-34 ladder pattern which consists of elementary

to 9th grades), high school (10th to 12th
grades) and junior college, college and
university.

Clothing

The top part called a “jeogori” is blouse-like
with long sleeves with the men's version being
longer, stretching down to the waist. Women
wear skirts “chima” while men wear baggy
pants “paji”. Commoners wore white, except
during festivals and special occasions such as
weddings. Clothes for the upper classes were
made of bright colors and indicated the wearer's
social status. Various accessories such as foot
gear, jewelry, and headdresses or hair pins
completed the outfit.
