Thanks, Robert…
That big fat yellow Harvest Moon is going to be rising in less than two hours from now — we have good weather, so everybody get out on an east-facing slope or peak with a cup of your favorite tipple, and ENJOY…!

I don’t think other countries have such a close family gathering
like the Korean Chuseok.

happy chuseok. Ladies, don’t work too hard. Times are changing. I only recall going to wae-ga once during chuseok, and that was when my mother was seriously considering divorcing my father. I felt so out of place. Those people were my mother’s clan, and even though I was 50% them, the proper place for me to be was with my father’s clan in Choong Chung.

Nowadays, Korean men have lost their balls, and they’re going to their wife’s family gatherings and sometimes skipping their own clans. This is a bad example to the future generation and a slap in the face of tradition.

I do approve of men doing more of the cooking and catering food.
