Sorry everyone! There’s been an error. The main ingredient in 소주 (soju) is potato, not rice!!! :

Well, have a good 추석 everyone!

Happy Chuseok everyone!
I’m definitely going to get brownie points with my Korean classmates when I wish them happy Chuseok tomorrow.
Is it coincidence that Korean Chuseok, Chinese mid-Autumn festival and National Day, and Japanese Goruden Uiiku (Golden Week) are so close together? It can’t be a coincidence, can it?

즐거운 추석 ^_^!!!!
(Happy chuseok)
Yeah, Max, I guess it all comes from a similar origin. After all, the full moon is always meaningful to all the three countries and and especially the 8th full moon falls on about the same time as the first harvest of the year 
I guess maybe that’s the common reason.

Everyone,
Here’s a list of photos of the food I ate today for Chuseok. Not all of them are 추석-only items but, I hope this will be interesting for you.

송편 is pretty easy to make the shape pretty, but what’s difficult is how to make it delicious. How to put in just the right amount of filling.
