Everyone know there are 365 days in a year, right? Wrong! To be exact, there are 365.24219 days per year. But we can't have a day that's just over 5 hours 48 minutes, so long time ago "they" decided to slip in an "intercalary" day every four years (sort of). So that gave us a leap year every four years. And today is a leap day.

If it's your birthday today, let me wish you four extra special Happy Birthdays :)

How are you spending your leap day?

  • Today is a public holiday in South Korea (Independence Movement Day), and I just recently moved to Daegu for a new job after working in Geoje Island last year. So today is a day of resting after all the rushing around and getting documents like a new medical report (two copies obtained from the local hospital yesterday) and moving between towns. This is just as well because after this month, I have morning, evening and weekend lessons at my employer (a private language school) and afternoons five days a week at different public schools. Such fun! :D

  • So true, Sir Josef. It happens once per 4 years. Someone who was born on 29th February will celebrate his/her birthday once per 4 years. :D 

    To me, there's no special event or plan on this day. But, I always try to fill days, every day, with precious thing and smiles. 

    Happy Birthday to those who were born on February 29th. :)
