Hey, I was just wondering what are the common times people celebrate their relationships in Korea? I know in North America people sometimes celebrate after 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and so on.

I think I remember that in Korea people celebrate after 100 days? or 30 days? Anyone know for sure what it is?

Thanks

Yeah, some people celebrate after 100 days. Other than that it just depends on you guys.

One of my students just celebrated his 800th day anniversary with his girlfriend.

In Korea there's a "special day" related to dating every month. I can only remember three (Valentine's Day, White Day, and Black Day) but I remember reading an article a year or so ago about the rest. Things like Rose Day...

It's easy to remember in Korea because there's so few of them. They are:

30 days, 1 month, 100 days, 6 months, 1 year, 200 days, 1.5yrs and so on.

Oh and Valentine's day.

Also black day, white day , rose day, movie day, kiss day, diary day, Peppero day, Ace day, Christmas, New Years and first snow of the year. Oh and birthdays. Birthdays can be 'fun' because they might use the lunar calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar which makes it somewhat harder to 'remember'. Or they might use both.

I think I missed about half a dozen other important days. I get in trouble about once a week on average =)
