Today, the 11th of November is Peppero day in South Korea. While the English are remembering WWII and sparing a minute of their morning and for some a tear or two, South Korea children hand out peppero! We call them Milkado in England, and I love them! So, us British always complain that there are too many special days made up by companies to make us spend money - some of us even refuse to get involved - others embrace the day whole heartedly and others still embrace it with something between embarrassment and loathing! Korean's on the other hand seem to embrace this holiday (invented by Lotte for the making of money) so much so, that I ended up with handfuls of boxes of Peppero from my students, and a bow of chocolates from my boss. The picture I took above isn't even of all of them, I shared some out with my students!
When I left hogwan a minute ago, there were three students sat on the floor making some sort of Peppero montage, laughing and arguing how they should do it. On of the girls had even taped up her boxes into the shape of a heart! It's so cute.
I'm all chocolated out now, and I need some real food...gibap here I come :)
