빼빼로 Day!

Today is 11-11 which is celebrated as 빼빼로 (Pae-pae-ro) Day in Korea. This holiday was created by some marketing genius at the 빼빼로 candy company that decided his candys (long rice sticks dipped in chocolate) look like the number one and the name looks like alot of ones. We are all eating 빼빼로 today in celebration.

On a different note, we took a field trip to Fukuoka, Japan yesterday. I have never had my passport stamped so many times in a single day. Two pages worth of stamps. The highlights of the trip were getting a visa, hanging out at a very tranquil Japanese garden and a wonderful dinner! Now that we are back in Korea, things are seeming quite alot more organized and everything will hopefully come together for the actual school opening on Monday!
