Yesterday was 설날 (Seollal), or Lunar New Year's. I have a luxurious four-day weekend to celebrate, which I mostly spent cleaning, eating, and playing hidden object games.
On Sunday we ate 떡국 (ddeokguk), a special soup with sliced rice noodle in it, at my church to celebrate. According to Korean tradition, everyone turns one year older on Seollal - but only after you've eaten your ddeokguk.
It's 2012 and the year of the dark dragon. I won't endorse anything astrological, but I've gotta say this year sure does have a lot of hype already built for it. I wonder what these next months hold.
