White Day (Korea) - Every 14 March

I totally forgot that today is The White Day, during my Level 2 Hangul class (Unit 8) lecture by Miss Tiara. She told in the class about some sort of day's that they used to celebrate.

Here are some of the list:-
1. 14 February - Valentine Day
2. 14 March - White Day
3. 14 April - Black Day 블랙 데이ᅦ (for single )
4. 5 May - Children Day 어린이날 (receive money from parents)
5. 8 May - Parents Day (Give carnation to parents)
6. 15 May - Teacher's Day 스승의날
7. 16 May - Adult Day 성년의날
8. 21 May - Husband & Wife day 부부 의날
9. 11 November 빼빼루 (Pepero - exchanged Pepero sticks as gifts to wish one another to grow "as tall and slender as a Pepero" )

White Day usually celebrate in Japan & South Korea. The day that men in turn, return their love (if there's any) paying back to women who have given them chocolate on Valentine's Day (February 14) with usually a candy instead of chocolate.

However to those who don't get any gifts on either dates which apparently a single, are supposed to eat jajangmyeon (white Korean noodles with black bean sauce - Black Noodles) together on April 14th known as Black Day, is the day for the those who are still yet to meet their other half. It's like celebrating their singledom.

Well that culture only apply in South Korea. There is no harm to follow & celebrate as long as it is legal & does not violate the bounds of religion.

Hachikō

Watch Hachi: A Dog's Tale stars by Richard Gere, Joan Allen and Sarah Roemer. The original version was "Hachikô monogatari (Hachi-ko) (1987)"
Based on true story from Japan. Indeed this film does touch my heart even though I do dislike dog's to be exact I'm scared of dog but at the same time admiring for their loyalty.

Since then I start google seeking for more detail once found, It's really made me weep. I can't resist my tears. They're just falling out from my eyes even I don't want to. Just to imagine how his patient & faithful for almost 9 years of waiting for his deceased owner at Shibuya Train station until god take him. My tears just flowing unstoppable now... huhuhu

Lets dig more about this wonderful Hachikō an Akita Inu breed.

Hachikō (ハチ公?, November 10, 1923 – March 8, 1935.
In Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公 "faithful dog Hachikō"
Hachi meaning 'eight', a number referring to the dog's birth order in the litter, and 'kō', meaning prince or duke), was an Akita dog born on a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture
He remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, even many years after his owner's death.

I just can't do it..
here some of the link.
