EBS Experiment

Found this clip on youtube. EBS or Educational Broadcasting System (http://www.ebs.co.kr/index.jsp) is the educational television in South Korea. They do a little experiment on how Koreans are willing to help out foreigners depending on their skin color.

Happy Veterans Day and 빼빼로 Day

Today is 11/11/11. In Korea, people celebrate Pepero (빼빼로) Day. It is a day where couples give 빼빼로 to each other and where Lotte's sales of 빼빼로 increases. According to Wikipedia, Pepero Day began:

in 1994 by students at a girls' middle school in Busan, where they exchanged Pepero sticks as gifts to wish one another to grow "as tall and slender as a Pepero".

However, in America, today (11/11/11), we celebrate Veterans Day. We remember and thank all the veterans who fought to keep the freedom here in the U.S. Because I consider myself both Korean and American, I will allow myself to celebrate both.

Thank you veterans for your service and for fighting for the freedom. And Happy Pepero 빼빼로 Day everyone! May everyone grow as tall and slender as a Pepero!
