Wow, this might be my favorite photo of all time! So I know what you're most likely wondering, why are these kids dressed up like that? Because it's Chuseok.
Chuseok is Korean Thanksgiving. It falls on what we'd call the harvest moon. As is the case with many Korean holidays this is based on the lunar calender.
The kids are wearing hanbok. Click here if you're interested in learning more.
For most of us Native Speaking Teachers Chuseok is notable because we get a day or two off. I got Friday off, so that was cool. And it's also notable because today, the day of the harvest moon, there isn't anyone around. Korea is a busy place, but everyone has gone home to be with family. It's kind of cool, but is quite odd.
Here are some more cute photos. Enjoy!
