Happy Buddha's Birthday and Golden Week
If you're a Buddhist, today is April 8th on the Lunar Calendar, so Happy Buddha's Birthday
For both Japan and Korea, the week is kind of a shut down week as Children's Day is this Friday May 5th.
In Japan, this is referred to ask Golden Week. Many people took the whole week off and many schools did as well.
In Korea, it's Wednesday to Sunday no work or school either. Though some took off Monday and Tuesday as well
