Halloween and Pepero Day in korea cont'd (READ the next post first!)



Ok now pepero day. It's basically a commercial holiday that the chocolate factories made here to make money. Pepero day falls on our Remembrance Day, Nov. 11. So because this date is 11/11 on this day you give people chocolate covered cookie things that look like sticks or the number '1'. So I got many of these pepero sticks from my students, I guess one perk about being a teacher! The streets were filled with venders selling these sticks. They have in all sizes, as you can see from my picture some sticks are very big. This pink thing in my hand is one of the pepero sticks I got from a student. Ok well I hope you enjoyed the photos, I gotta run but thanks again for all your emails and msn check-ins. I really appreciate it! I've also gotten some nice surprises in the mail which i'm always excited to get! Thanks so much you know who are! K talk soon! Miss and love you all!!
As you can maybe see I also got my first haircut! Not sure if I like how short it is!!!!
