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.

I do interested however I have to attend my Level 2 Hangul class on 16 (Friday 3.30 - 5.30).

So sad knowing that priority will be given to those who can work for all 3 full days.
However I still put some hope to be selected cause IF KTO KL didn't manage to get volunteers whom able to be there for full day (16-18) they will consider to split.

I've just send my details hoping KTO KL will consider me.

Good luck to me... m(^^)m
