On My Way To Korea

For those who don’t know how valentines day works in Korea, check out Eat Your Kimchi’s review of Valentine’s Day (February 14) here and White Day (March 14) here.  Those are great days for those who are in relationships, but what about the rest of us?  In America there’s really nothing, we get the boot.  BUT, in Korea, we singles get our very own holiday on April 14 (can you see the pattern?  Korean holidays are on the 14th of very month).  It’s called Black Day (very appropriate, eh?).  And yes, I’ve celebrated it three years in a row every since I’ve started learning Korean.  You can get together with your fellow single comrades (솔로부대) to eat traditional black noodles (자장면) which are delicious by the way.  Anyways, mark your calendars!  Viva la Black Day!
