Today it was Pepero Day! Apparently it is somewhat treated like Valentine's Day and these little cookie sticks dipped in chocolate are given to friends, family, and loved ones. I have had Pepero sticks before, and though they are pretty delicious, I did not know there was a special day for it!
The "holiday" is on 11/11 because the 1's look like the sticks. The grocery store on my corner has had huge stacks outside for sale all week long. I went to the store yesterday to buy some soup and there was not one person in line who didn't have a box of Pepero. So I grabbed some.
The positive to Pepero Day? Students and teachers gave me Pepero all day! The Negative? My stomach hurts and my kids were hyped up on sugar all day being more crazy than usual.


Omgoodness Jennifer, you really can make me laugh...I love the way you express yourself and I can see in your words how you really do enjoy doing this work out there in Korea...
ReplyDeleteI suppose living out in a foreign Country would be a little hard, everyone notices the difference in our race, but the amazing thing is you seeing first hand how they and others feel when they come to the States for their first time! I'm proud of you, how is your boyfriend doing? Do ya need anything up there we can send you for the Holidays? Email me on FB and let me know what you can and can't get in the mail! Love you, Nina
