Chusok is next Tuesday. It is the biggest holiday of the year here in Korea. I have heard that over 30 million people will be traveling to visit family during this time. This is nearly half the population of Korea. Chusok is similar to the American Thanksgiving holiday. It is tied to the lunar calendar and harvest time. Part of the holiday involves giving gifts to family members, eating traditional foods and visiting the graves of ancestors.
I have the week off and am so excited about having the opportunity to spend Chusok with great friends and my Korean family :) . I'm looking forward to eating traditional foods, and learning more about the culture and traditions of this holiday. We will travel to my friends family home and then travel to a retreat center for some R and R. I can't wait!
