I am currently on winter break. I get one week off now and a week off in July. Students are on winter break from school and get a longer break than I do. The next semester starts in March. February is graduation month for schools. Summer and Winter vacation from schools are big traveling times for families.
Other days that I get off are national holidays or "Red days". Red days are Christmas- 12/25, Chuseok (usually September; 3-4 days; weekend, plus a couple extra days), Seolnal/Lunar New Year (usually February; 3-4 days; weekend, plus a couple extra days), New Year's day 1/1, Hangeul day 10/9, 3/1 Independence movement day, Children's day 5/5, Buddah's Birthday 5/14, Memorial Day 6/6, Liberation day 8/15, National Foundation day 10/3
