Happy Chuseok 2010!


Wishing all a Happy Chuseok!

To the halmeonis and halbeojis, may your children and grandchildren keep in touch not just for this annual celebration...

To the ajummas working hard in the kitchen, I hope the preparations for the family feasting won't be too stressful...

To the husbands of the ajummas - Please spare a thought or two for your wives, mothers and sisters...

To the children - may you find pleasure in the communal traditional games before they die out completely...

To the Koreans travelling abroad, have a great holiday spending your won overseas...

To those opting to take advatange of the long break  under the plastic surgeon's scalpel - a speedy recovery...

To those commuting from the city to the hometowns or villages - hope you won't get stuck in the traffic...

to  Koreans working and studying outside Korea - may the social media keep the family ties strong despite the physical distance....

to those in Seoul during the Chuseok period, enjoy the emptiness, quiet and uncrowded streets while you can!

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing what you did during Chuseok. I don't live in Korea so it's a good reminder of how the social landscape in Korea is changing and becoming more cosmopolitan.
Sounds as if working life in Korea is very challenging and that ordinary weekends are not long enough to recover from the work week!
Regards,
ajumma
