Korean Thanksgiving Day (Chuseok)

   My favorite holiday is Korean Thanksgiving Day. We call “Chuseok”. It is our most important holiday. Chuseok is August 15 on the lunar calendar. Before Chuseok, we have to cut the grass for grave of our ancestor. We must hold the Chuseok ceremony in homage to our ancestors, and then We visit our family graves. In the old times we have to wear Hanbok on Chuseok, but Nowadays some people are wearing Hanbok. Hanbok is traditional clothes of Korean. Also on Chuseok, we eat special rice cake called “Song-Pyun”. Song-Pyun is half-moon shaped and stuffed with honey, been, and sesame seeds, so it is delicious. At Chuseok, we played Gang-gang-sul-rae under the full moon.

At Chuseok, there is heavy traffic on the expressways, but I like this holiday because I can meet my family.

Life of Seoul

    I introduce about Seoul. Seoul is the capital of South Korea. Seoul is lacated in the middle of the Korea, on the Han River near the sea. Seoul is the center of politics, economy, culture, transportation, and education for South Korea. It has the highest population density in Korea, so if you visit Seoul, you'll see many people and cars everywhere. Seoul has the over 10 subway lines and a lot of buses, so you are easy moving the any place, and then Some stores are opening at 24 hours.If you are hungry at midnight, you'll buy some food and alcohol. If you visit the Seoul, you'll go to 63-story building because There is the highest building in Korea, so you are seeing at once the Seoul. Also Seoul has many palace. If you want experience Korean culture, you have to go there. Insadong sells some Korean souvenirs, so many foreign come to Insadong.  In conclusion, Seoul is a complex city, but There are lively and interesting city. I like Seoul and there is awesome.

(P.s : First picture is Korean palace. Name is Kyungbok Palace. Second picture is Seoul night view.)
