Sure, we are already well into 2012, but for some people around the world, it has only just begun. I guess most of us will be going off to our grandparents’ place, eating nice food, receiving money from relatives…:) Maybe I’ve only just realized this, but we have so many holidays in Korea, where we get to see our relatives. Chuseok, New Years, Lunar… We’re given ample opporunities to visit our family, but unless they live close by, it doesn’t quite happen most of the time. I’ve only seen my cousins once since I came to Korea, and I haven’t even seen some of my aunts and uncles yet… But I remember the last time I went to a family gathering, that included more people than just my mum and dad, and it felt nice to be with people that were your family. They were people I shared blood with, and even though I hadn’t seen them for a couple of years, we could still feel like we shared a bond. I guess that’s just what family is:)
Hope you guys get to spend a part of your lunar with your family, (not at SAT hagwons, even though SATs are just around the corner…) and enjoy the extra long weekend everyone!!:)
