It's not till Sunday, but kids are bringing plenty of "delicious" peperos.

And had a good laugh when one of the girls proudly showed me her bandaged middle finger while keeping her other fingers in a fist Laughing .

I fully endorse embracing Korean culture and whatnot, but you can shove your pepperos up your arse for all I care.

I haven't seen any peppero today. Crying or Very sad


Edit: 1 minute after writing that, I was given a box of Peppero with this written on a note: Bibbitybop teacher, you great teacher. I'm respect you. You're always good teacher for me. Very Happy

Now all the student needs to do is fix her grammar and give me money, not peppero!

I was sitting at my desk and suddenly, hands covered my eyes. I heard some girlish giggling, had something placed in my hands, and opened my eyes. A group of girls had given me a big cake box of pepero! Very, very cute.

Got to love a country that celebrates some stupid chocolate day on November 11th. The day the rest of the world remembers it's fallen soldiers. Many whom lost their lives to make Korea what it is today. When the Koreans are smacking their lips and eating like animals on November 11th. I will bow my head to remember the fallen soldiers who gave us or freedom.

There are holidays for liberation and other patriotic ideas. Simply enjoying candy together isn't as evil as it seems.

That's how I feel about May 1st vs America's crappy "Labor Day."

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Korea, believe it or not, doesn't have to celebrate the EXACT same holidays on the EXACT same days we do at home, even though it's a DIFFERENT country!! ISN'T THAT INSANE?!?!?

I'm not talking about a holiday, I'm talking about respecting our fallen soldiers and the brave men and women who fought for our freedom. Many Canadian, American and other common wealth nations died for this country and a moment of silence at 11am would kill them. I angry about this because I'm a former solider and have lost friends in war and have been injured for freedom.

Yeah, but you happen to take a swipe at "Korean animals", which is petty and completely ridiculous.
