More Lunar New Year Fun
This past Wednesday I attended another Lunar New Year event, this time hosted by
InKAS and the 서울무궁화로타리클럽 at the
Korea House. A map and the Korea House's Facebook page are embedded below, the location is closest to
Chungmuro (충무로역) station. I snapped some pictures of the food that was provided. The traditional rice cake soup (떡국) was the main course served in a bowl with charcoal in the middle to keep it warm. We were also given some small gifts and played games with the opportunity to win prizes.

The holiday is now finished and people are going back to work and school. The subway was very busy today as opposed to the past 5 days where there weren't as many people. A number of businesses still stayed open during the holiday. It is actually a popular time for tourists from other Asian countries to come visit Korea. Do you celebrate the lunar new year? How do you celebrate?
