Chuseok

Chuseok (Thanksgiving) is a 3-day holiday during which families get together to make and eat Songpyeon (rice cakes) and visit and tend to their ancestor's tombs. This year Chuseok fell Thursday-Saturday, so we were lucky enough to received two days off work. To celebrate Chuseok, the principal of our academy presented each of the teachers with gift packs of olive oil and coffee.

If you have a craving for coffee or olive oil, come visit us in Korea!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your comments. We have found the blog to be a great way to keep in touch with family and friends- giving them a glimpse of our lives in Korea.

Nice to have met you too.
