Chuseok is a big holiday here in Korea, probably the biggest. The whole country shuts down and throngs of people hit the highway to gather with their families in their hometowns.At our school, we celebrated Chuseok with the kindergarten kids (ages 4-6 years old). The day involved learning how to do traditional bows, then making rice cakes stuffed with red bean paste, ending with an arm wrestling tournament officiated by yours truly. I was beat out in the first round by Dewey, the kid with the dyed pink hair. So I opted to referee the event.
The traditional outfit worn during celebrations (by children and married people only... the bachelors and bachelorettes really miss out) is called a 'han-bok'. It is a really beautiful outfit, as you can see.
We are off on holidays for the next 2 weeks, so we wish everyone all the best while we are gone. Take care and we'll be in touch soon.
All our love.
