Chusok otherwise known as Korean Thanksgiving.

Last day of Chusok is tomorrow (I think?). It is normal for Koreans to take three days off to celebrate this as everyone meets up with their families.

The day involves the family visiting ancestors graves and leaving fruits/food at the graves and bow. One of the foods on this day is a kind of half moon rice cake as well as chestnuts.

Kids dress up in the evening in hanboks and sing and dance under the moon.

I'll be enjoying it with soju. ^^
