A Series of Fortunate Holidays

In May we celebrated two holidays (no school!!!)

May 5th - Children's Day
May 21st - Buddha's Birthday

.........and today (July 2nd) we also have a holiday for - Election Day!

So, what do we do with all these free days?

For Children's day we bought tickets to the KIA Tigers game:

beer, chicken and baseball!

8,000won/ticket

10,000won/box of fried chicken

and all the B.Y.O beer you could ask for!

Take that Mariners...

For Buddha's birthday we travelled to the ancient city of Andong.
We hiked up to the Bongjeongsa temple - which is about a 30 minute drive from Andong - and admired the beautiful view and hundreds of lanterns displayed for Buddha's Birthday.....

...And sampled the famously delicious Jjim Dalk (stewed chicken and vegetables in a spicy sweet soy sauce) and drank some Andong Soju.

The following day we walked around the Hahoe village - visited the traditional Korean village buildings (that people actually still live in!), and saw an amazing masked perfomance (which we didn't fully understand, but was awesome nonetheless).

And for Election Day we're planning on celebrating Vann's birthday... homemade cake and everthing!
