Korean people going back to their hometowns for Chuseok

I am in my hometown, 광주(gwangju) as I am writing this description, and this is just a short video to show you the cars driving along the highway around 00:30 am.

For a national holiday like 추석, people usually go back to their hometowns and there's always a huge portion of the population moving across the country to get together with their family, partly out of will and partly out of obligation ^^a .

Thanks for watching, and you can subscribe to my personal podcast at http://why-be-normal.com

감사합니다.

how many hours does it takes you for this trip?

[ever4one]

it usually takes about 4 hours by bus but during a national holiday period it can take up to 7~8 hours :) but I was lucky on that day because it didn't take too much more than usual ^^ probably because I took the bus at very late at night.

Haha. This reminds me of texas right now because of the hurricane, there are lots people coming to my city because its further up from the coast -_-;; lol I like buses.

광주 is about 350km away from Seoul : ) So I was about half way there when I took this vid (actually I'm still here, hehe) :)

I find it hard to sleep on the bus, too, I had my eyes shut but doing a lot of things at the same time - thinking, listening to a podcast, and singing quietly haha - I guess I was really bored on the bus :D

How far do you live from home? Judging from the road sign, you still had a long way to go. It's so hard to sleep on a bus, too. (For me at least, haha) Have a happy Chuseok! ^_^
