Koreanclass101, 추석 즐겁게 보내세요!
Aren’t you mad that this chuseok is on a sunday ? ^^ Nobody works on sundays anyway ^^ so there’s no extra day off ^^
Wednesday at 12:55 am
Jacqueline,
Haha. The entire nation is sad that it’s on a Sunday this year. hahaha. 전국민이 슬퍼하고 있어 ㅋ
Wednesday at 12:57 am
Happy 추석 to all at KoreanClass101! Enjoy your well-deserved break, and come back with more great lessons for us!
This Sunday is also the Chinese Mid-autumn festival. In Singapore, we usually have mooncakes (a sweet baked “cake” with different kids of pastes inside), chinese tea, pomelo and for the kids, lanterns! It’s fun to see the kids carry their lanterns and walk around the neighbourhood.

Korean Class 101.com 직원 여러분: 항상 수고많으세요! 짧은 휴가라도 즐겁게 보내시기 바랍니다.
…근데 저는 이번 추석에 한국에서 일하지 않아서 다행이에요. 작년에는 추석 연휴가 오일이었는데 올해는 삼일만이에요. 정말 유감이네요!
Wednesday at 5:01 am
I hope everyone have a good 추석. =)
Do kids get 추석 off?
Wednesday at 5:15 am
Happy 추석 everyone! Maybe I’ll take a much needed break this weekend too XD
Shan: I had a Chinese friend who sent me mooncake once. I’ve never tasted anything so yummy in my life! We drifted out of contact a couple of years ago though, so no more mooncake for me
Wednesday at 9:37 am
enjoy your holiday and thank you for your hard work
Wednesday at 9:47 am
man oh man - I’m sad it’s on Sunday but here’s a double treat - this guy was born on Sep 14
Wednesday at 4:45 pm
Matthew: happy birthday!
Taliana: whereabouts are you? Any chinatown near where you live? You could try searching for mooncakes there…
Wednesday at 5:52 pm
Shan: Sadly enough, there’s no Chinatowns at my end of England ;_; In my area, we’re mostly just small towns … the nearest big city is a couple of hours away, and I don’t think there’s even a Chinatown there! There’s a Chinatown in London but London is several hours by train XD
I am actually going to London’s Chinatown with a friend at the end of October, but I guess there won’t be mooncakes anymore by then ;__;
Wednesday at 9:21 pm
Shan
I LOVE mooncakes! In Korean, we call them 월병(月餠) - a very similar word to the Chinese “yue bing (月饼)”
I’d love to go to Singapore during the Chinese Zhongqiujie, but my parents wouldn’t allow it! Hehe. I have to be in 광주 ㅎㅎ
Thursday at 1:06 am
Taliana: you must be rather north then. I lived in Oxford for 3 years, that was more than 10 years ago. Well, if you like to bake, then you can get mooncake recipes off the web!
Hyunwoo: Can you find 월병 in Korea easily? I have friends from China who tell me that the mid-autumn festival is more celebrated in Singapore than in China.. I wonder how true that is..maybe Max in Shanghai could tell us about how it’s celebrated there
I’d love to go to Korea during 추석 too, but only if I can gatecrash a Korean family’s celebrations! Seoul would be deserted, wouldn’t it??
Thursday at 1:44 am
Shan: South-West, actually! I live in Devon, out among the cows, the sheep, and the not-much-else XD Exeter is the nearest big city, and a friend of mine once laughed at me when I referred to Exeter as a ‘big city’. According to her and her London-y ways, Exeter is about the size a city should normally be … XD;

고마워요 ^^ 즐거운 휴가 보낼게요.
해마다, 1월이 되면, 아니, 12월이 되면, 새해의 휴일들이 어떻게 되는지가, 많은 사람들의 관심사가 되죠 ^^ ㅎㅎ 한국은 ‘음력’이 있으니 특히 더 그렇고요. (Every year, when January comes around, no, when December comes around, what the holidays will be like for the new year is in the center of a lot of people’s interest. And it’s especially so since Korea has the lunar calendar.)
Seth (세트)
네, kids get 추석 off as well ^^ ! 아이들도 추석 때 학교에 안 가요
rigo
고맙습니다. ^^ 앞으로도 열심히 할게요
Thank you. We will keep trying hard ^^!
Matthew
생일 축하해요!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shan
서울 is usually deserted, but little by little, the number of parents who are actually coming UP to Seoul to visit their kids are increasing each year, although by small numbers.
And it’s not easy to find the Chinese 월병 in Korea, but we can find something similar ^^. But I really like the 월병 that I had when I was in China.
Thursday at 3:03 am
현우씨, you need to move to China! Then you can eat 월병 every year and send it to me as well XD
Thursday at 3:07 am
Hehe. 그것도 좋은 생각이야. That’s a good idea too!
But please give me about 5 more reasons to move to China
Hehe, but I think I’ll go to China again sometime this year for a visit, so if I get some, I’ll try to send it to you ! 중국에 다시 여행하러 갈 거니까, 그때 사서 보내 줄게 ㅎㅎ
Thursday at 3:30 am
1) Mooncake
2) To send Tali mooncake
3) Because Tali would REALLY LIKE IT if you sent her mooncake
4) Making Tali happy will get you good karma
5) Good karma is a good thing to have!
6) Maybe you’ll even have enough good karma from it that you’ll win a billion dollars~
There’s your five reasons! They’re the best I have, are they good enough? XD
Thursday at 3:38 am
Oh Tali
Your reasons are too good T.T I’m in trouble XD
큰 일이네… ㅠ.ㅠ
Thursday at 1:26 pm
아.. 기다리던 추석이 왔어요..^^ 맛있는 음식 많이 먹을 생각 하니까 너무 너무 좋아요!!
It’s finally Chuseok.. yay! I am so happy just thinking about all the food that I am going to eat!!
Thursday at 11:01 pm
Taliana: I’ve been to Exeter, but not Devon. Do you have clotted cream and scones for tea everyday?
Sometimes I miss England and its gloomy countryside scenery…
Hyunwoo: So you are moving to China? Hmm…then I would like to have a lot of chinese children’s books. That would make Shan very happy too.
Friday at 12:20 am
현우씨 will have so much good karma! I hope he shares some of that billion dollars with us XD

[…] I am back in my hometown for 추석 (Chuseok) and as it’s expected each year, the trip back home isn’t always very easy, with all the people moving all together. But I made it back home safely. The bus ride took the time it usually takes - about 4 hours, and I arrived home at 4:00 am after taking a taxi from the bus terminal to my parents’ house. The bus fare from Seoul to Korea was around 22,000 won, and the taxi fare was around 6,000 won. […]
Friday at 5:21 pm
happy chuseok everyone!
Saturday at 8:12 am
[…] I went to 광주 , the city I was born in, to celebrate 추석 with my parents. 추석 is always good, even though you can expect some seriously heavy traffic in the main highways because a lot of people move from city to city all at once. Nevertheless, it’s always worth the effort. For 추석 we did the usual things, like having good food, visiting a lot of relatives and saying hi here and there, bowing, maybe getting some allowance (which doesn’t happen to me any more, unfortunately) and having a small ceremony to thanks the ancestors and everybody else, and visiting some tombs of our close ancestors and paying respect. […]
