Hi All,
So, I totally forgot that Monday was a US holiday. The school only celebrates some American holidays since it is an international school and this is not one of the holidays so I will be at work on Monday like usual. Daniel doesn't get holidays so that is another reason that holidays don't really mean much to me. The only reason I remembered was because I went to mail something today and the post office was closed. I got a little irritated because they frequently seem to randomly close and I typically miss the announcement. Needless to say I won't be mailing anything today, tomorrow or Monday :-P
Something else I forgot the other day was that at 1730 (trying to get better at learning military time) they play both the ROK and USA national anthems. If you are outside walking you stop and stand. If you are driving, you stop your car. If you have ever seen the movie "The Truman Show" it is similar to when everyone is waiting in first position. If you are indoors you can look outside and see people paused in place, even children. The military people stop and do their stiff stance while civilians either have their hands behind their back or one hand over their heart. At the movies on base before the previews they also play both national anthems to which we all stand in respect before sitting again.
Hopefully you all have a fun and safe 3 day weekend!
Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Sincerely,
Camille
