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.

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.

But I really like the 월병 that I had when I was in China. Shan :)

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daniel :) 고마워요 ^^ 즐거운 휴가 보낼게요.

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! :grin: 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 :smile: 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?? Taliana: you must be rather north then. I lived in Oxford for 3 years, that was more than 10 years ago.

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 Shan :)
