Chuseok


In Korea, we don’t have similar to Halloween but we have a holiday that concerns the dead. The name of this holiday is Chuseok. This holiday is the harvest festival and thanks ancestor. In Chuseok, family meets the house of first brother and prepares to cook Korean foods such as rice cake, sweet rice drink and three color herbs. They gravity perform a religious service and eat together. Korea people believe their ancestors protect them. Addition, family play harvest dance and tradition game such as Yutnori that seems Monopoly of board game. It is importance to Korean people because it makes more relationship. Due to the fact that Chuseok has three holiday , I think Chuseok better than Halloween

Aside from the fact that these fish still have their heads on them, the food on that table looks really good.
The holiday does sound better than Halloween, do you get time off of class for it?
