Next week is Chuseok, Korean Thanksgiving, so this week we had a Chuseok party at school. All the preschoolers and teachers dressed up in Hanbok, played games and made and ate song pyeon (steamed rice cakes). By the end of the day the kids were about as excited as we were exhausted aka the party was a success.Korean traditional dress - Hanbok consists of a poofy petticoat with a long over skirt/dress (usually pink for unmarried girls and red for married women) on top you wear a little fitted jacket. The great thing about Hanbok is that the quantity of fabric means that its comfortable and flattering on all. The downside of which is that its quite hot and somewhat cumbersome to wear when entertaining 45 preschoolers during an unusually hot autumn day.
