Exciting news!!! I have extended my contract for another year in Korea so hopefully I will be blogging away for the next year with a little more passion and flair.I thought I would quickly put in a little post before a long overdue skype session with one of my dearest friends from home. Also I have some extra time this week as Grace Teacher (this is how we address eachother at work and it has become a rather annoying habit!!!) is too busy to join language exchange classes this week.
So while I am waiting for my beloved friend to come online I will tell you a little bit about Peppero. Peppero is a very delicious Korean snack which I am currently snacking on at this particular moment (mmmm). It is so delicious that it even has a special day on the calendar. Peppero day is similar to Valentine's day on the 11th November, resembling four peppero sticks for the day, i.e. 11/11. It became popular after the manufacturing company, Lotte, saw increased sales on this day and started promoting it since then. Now Korean children are encouraged to give a box of peppero to someone special on peppero day. I think my mom would be in heaven as its similar to one of her favorite snacks in South Africa! I was in heaven simply because any holiday on a national calender promoting one to eat chocolate... enough said!
Time to run and chat!
