Tomorrow is the New Years day. The Lunar new year! What do you do in Lunar new years day? Like every other families, I get together with my relatives, have a talk and eat delicious foods. I'm very excitied about meeting them because I haven't seen them for a while. This is year it is January 23 but according to wiki pedia in 2013, it will be on Febuary 10th!
In Korea, the Lunar new year is like a family holiday. The 3 day off is to return home or visit their ancestral grave. Many Koreans wear Korean traditional clothes hanbok. However nowadays, most adults or teenagers don't wear it because it is very uncomfortable to work or play. Nowadays, we don't wear original hanbok but changed ones that had changed so we can move easier. But this year, I am not going to wear one either.
In these days, we eat traditional foods that ancestors used to eat this day. The most common one is Tteokguk. It is basically rice cake in the soup. Actually in the New years day, we have had it for breakfast in GLPS. When we eat tteokguk, we say that we are getting one year older. The broth consist of protein by using beef, chicken, pork, pheasant, seafood. It is very yummy and if we put dumpling it is even more tasty. We can also make variety of different kinds by using different kind of rice cake.
I wish you Happy New Year!
