Today is Chuseok in Korea.

Happy Chuseok.

Don't forget to remember that without your ancestors you would not exist!

yes. amy. i believe there are some similarities.

song pyun... yum.
today we're having a huge dinner
at home.

edit. amy, because chusuk also
involves celebrating the fall harvest
in addition to paying homage to
ancestors.

enjoy!!

Is this strictly a home thing or will there be any special dinner things going on in various Korean restaurants in urban Koreatowns?

some korean restaurants might give out
a small amount of song pyun and jun (pancakes)
on the house.

Well I hope all of my fellow Korean bruthas and sistas enjoyed their Chuseoks. I called my Dad. He wasn't home.

I guess that's life when you live alone in a foreign country.

Aaaahhh!

I'm SOOO jealous of you Korean peeps!

Not only do you have a beautiful culture and the best movies on the planet, but you have KICK ASS FOOD and you have equally KICK ASS HOLIDAYS IN WHICH TO EAT YOUR KICK ASS FOOD!

:heart:

...aigo...

Is Chuseok officially over now, or can I still get in on some good times this weekend?

And is this just a Korean thing, or are there other Asian equivalents around this same time? I was at my friends' Filipino/Malaysian joint yesterday for 9/11 and they were telling me "happy mooncake day" or something...does this ring any bells?

What's Chuseok?

I's 8/15 on the lunar calendar.

Kind of Korean Thanksgiving. Coincides with that chinese moon festival.
