Happy Thanksgiving to all my Korean friends and former students!

Since it is a long holiday for us working for a Korean company, everybody is so excited to splurge their hard-earned money on this well-deserved 4 days vacation. And I am just as quite excited as they are. I am so looking forward to experiencing a memorable getaway with whoever wants to join me in an adventure tomorrow.
One thing I would like to try this vacation though is dining in a Korean restaurant to feel the spirit of Chuseok. Korean dishes are undoubtedly one of the healthiest and most delicious foods in the world. The foods in the picture are so mouth watering. Hmmm yum yum!

According to wikipedia, Chuseok (Korean: 추석),[1] originally known as hangawi (한가위, from archaic Korean for "the great middle (of autumn)"), 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 and rice wines such as sindoju and dongdongju.

One of the major foods prepared and eaten during the Chuseok holiday is songpyeon (송편),a Korean traditional rice cake which contains stuffing made with healthy ingredients such as sesame seeds, black beans, mung beans, cinnamon, pine nut, walnut, chestnut, jujube, and honey.
I hope everybody enjoys their vacation! Happy thanksgiving day! Happy Chuseok!
