Today is "Pepero" day in South Korea, one of those "created" holidays when snack companies get to sell lots of their products. Kids give these chocolate-coated treats (breadsticks) to their friends, family, etc. Why was this date chosen? Because it is Nov. 11th, or 11-11, and those four ones resemble the snack . . . kinda cute until you get so bogged down in the stuff. But then it's only one day, and the kids here don't seem to have quite as many holidays as they do in many western countries . . . so, good for them:)
