my favorate holiday in my country

-> This is Songpyon

There are some big holiday in Korea. Among them, I love thanksgiving day, which is usually called Chuseok in Korae, the most. The first reason that I like Chuseok is a longer vacation than other holiday. When I was working for the hospital, I used to travel other country during vacation. If I use the day off, I could have almost 10 days for vacation. And also I could see all my family in Chuseok and talked with my parents and brother with eating delitious Korean food when I didn't have plan to trip. I was living in Seoul and my parents was living in Wonju and my brother was living in Deajon so we couldn't often meet. In Chuseok, most Korean people make rice cake called "Songpyon" and share with their neighbors. An important thing of reasons why I love Chuseok is special foods such like Japchae, Buchimgae and Songpyon. I really like traditional Korean foods but I can't often eat them because it takes long time to make them. I am missing the mood of Chuseok as I am writing about it now.

It is similar with our Mid-autumn Festival. Maybe we can get together to celebrate the same festival next year.

Your thanksgiving holiday is similar to Thanksgiving in the US. It is fun to get together with family! A good thing here is that your break is 9 days--and you don't have to take any extra days off. :) Enjoy your break--I hope you get to see the bridges of Madison County!
