Hanbok rental in hanboknam ( visit Korea, meet hanboknam!!)

Hello everyone! Hanboknam is back! Do you know what is so special about this coming January 25, 2020? It's our New Year's day. Yes, some of you may be confused on what I am talking about! You might think why there are 2 New Year's day? Korea follows the Regular calendar as well as the Lunar calendar. January 1st in the Regular calendar is what we all know, and for this year, in the Lunar calendar date, the first day of the year is on January 25th! Interesting right? Also a lot of people get confused on Korean age and International age, because in Korea we count our age differently. Internationally, people get older on the day of their birthdays. But in Korea, we get older on the first day of the year. So whenever others ask Koreans on how old we are, we ask them back "Do you want to know my Korean Age or my International Age?" Fuuny isn't it? What we do during the New year's day is the same as the first day of the regular calendar day. ...

Hello everyone!  Year 2020 is approaching really really soon and I know different countries have different tradition and culture they follow on the first day of the year.  Same goes with Korea; Korea has its own tradition and culture it follows.  First of all we visit our families who are in their home towns or visit their family wherever they are. New Year's is the day where everyone gathers together and bond with one another.  One tradition Korea follows is performing ancestral rites to the our lost ones. The food that is usually on the table when doing this rite are fruits, skewers, Korean pancakes, and other dishes that our lost ones once loved.  Credits:제사본찬 This is an example of the ancestral rite plate.  Another common tradition is New Year's bow . It is usually done by younger people to the older ones. From there, people usually provide pocket money.  This part is actually kids' favorite part!!  Credits: Getty...
