Chuseok Just around the Corner

An elderly lady who has visited Seoul is calling her children’s family who are supposed to meet her at the Seoul Station on September 21. Recently, more and more elderly people visit Seoul in order to relieve their children’s families from the burdens of traffic jams to their hometowns. As of September 21, the number of cars to come into Seoul via the highway has increased by 10,000 to 350,000.
