Kulap for Chuseok, oh my!


Looks like it is going to be a wet Chuseok in Korea. (Never thought I would utter THAT sentance). -HLG

Chuseok (Korean: 추석), originally known as Hangawi (한가위, from archaic Korean for "great middle"), is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Like many other harvest festivals, it is held around the Autumn Equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food such as songpyeon and rice wines such as sindoju and dongdongju.
