Useless trip out to the bank today, which of course was closed. Today is May 1st, i.e., May Day for much of the world—a national holiday that is both a springtime festival and a day to honor workers. In the States (and in Canada, too, I think), we have Labor Day, but that's all the way in September and is usually a last-gasp holiday for students ending their summer vacations and looking with dread toward the new school year.
So... Monday, then, I'm once again off to the bank to transfer a few hundred bucks to my US account. I also have to sign my new rental contract. Yay.
UPDATE: In the comments, Charles tells me this is the first year that May Day is also a bank holiday. See what I mean about how, in Korea, things seem programmed to thwart me?
Don't beat yourself up--you didn't forget about it "once again." This is the first time it's actually been a bank holiday.
