As defined by Wikipedia:
“Chuseok (Korean: 추석), originally known as Hangawi (한가위) (from archaic Korean for "great middle"), is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Like many other harvest festivals, it is held around the Autumn Equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food such as songpyeon.”
In other words, a well deserved vacation for Neil and I.
Right when teaching at public Korean Schools was arriving to that “comfort zone” (we finally learned how to take the bus to work) for Neil and I, Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) made a perfect appearance. This week can be defined as relaxing in correlation with the friendships that would accompany this year of adventure coming to fruition. Whether it was the amazing feasts at Fry Pan, watching “No Country for Old Men” in a DVD bang, or cheering on our favorite baseball team the Lotte Giants, this week was well…wonderful.
