Hello All,
So I forgot to shout you guys out for the "holiday" here. November 11 (11/11) is Pepero Day here in Korea. As far as I can tell all that it means is that you buy and/or receive Pepero which are stick like cracker treats. They aren't bad tasting but nothing super special. Not too sweet and very light. My best description would be to say if you had an animal cracker that was in the shape of a thin stick and it was dipped in chocolate. I've seen a variety of flavors but I have only had the original flavored kind because that is the only kind that other people bought for me. They also have other flavors such as strawberry, green tea, cookies and cream, almond, nude, and more...
These were my 2 boxes that I received. The "holiday" is like Valentine's Day at school when you can buy carnations for your friends combined with "Pi Day" where it is based on the numbers in the date... 11/11 looks like 4 sticks so that makes it similar to pepero, just like pi starts with the 3.14 so it's celebrated on March 14. So yea...

Interesting holiday; Everything seems so non-dramatic,
ReplyDeletesocial,yet not as $$$commercial$$$, and as economically
stressful as US celebrations.
No they still do money and drama. There is a Children's Day which is a holiday from school and work and parents take their kids places and/or buy them stuff. They also celebrate Valentine's Day where the guys buy stuff for the girls but there is also another day where girls buy things for guys. I think it's just as bad, other than Christmas and Halloween which are just now catching on more and more apparently.
