Battery9, hurry up with and make your reservation TODAY. Most flights are already booked solid from the 6th on. I know. I’m staying put.

In the good old times they would be sold out in November…

Starts on a Thursday … makes that this CNY holiday will only be 4 days … or they might include Mo., Tu. and Wed. … that would make it a 9 day holiday … doubt it tho …

Yep, quite short on holidays next year. Really infuriating that they announce that next year public employees will have (WOW) 112 days off… most of them Saturdays and Sundays. Actually, only 3 days are holidays, if I’m not mistaken.

Boy, do I ever have this question covered: When is Chinese New Year?

So the first day of the Chinese year of the Rat, February 7 2008, falls on a Thursday.

I just checked my Taiwanese agenda’s calendar. Wed to Fri are colored red, so there are three official holidays in that week? For Taiwanese companies, don’t they make that whole week a holiday? (Mostly taking the other days, Mon & Tue in this case, deducted from salary).
