Interesting in South Korea....

Hello Everyone, I’ve found interesting facts about Valentine’s Day and other love celebration as the 14^th of every month marks a special occasion in South Korea. In South Korea, women give chocolate to the man they love on February 14 and in return, men will give non-chocolate candy to women on March 14 (White Day). On April 14 (Black Day), those who did not receive anything on Valentine’s Day or White Day go to a Chinese restaurant (in Korea) and gets together to eat a black noodles called ‘Jajangmyeon’ and ‘mourn’ their single life. Black Day is a Korean-version of "Single Awareness Day". Jajangmyeon is a wheat noodles with black soybean sauce. Check the photo below. Those are Jajangmyeon…

Do you know why they eat Jajangmyeon? The black colour sauce on the noodle is reflected to be opposite of red which is a symbol of love.

What do you think about Jajangmyeon??

Koreans also celebrate Pepero Day on November 11, when young couples give each other Pepero cookies. The date '11/11' is intended to resemble the long shape of the cookie. Below are how Pepero cookies look like. It seems yummy to me.
