Happy Pepero Day, everyone! Pepero Day? What? Well, you can read the wikipedia article if you want, but I can summarize it just as well: Pepero is a type of candy/cookie thing. It's a cookie, shaped like a stick and coated in chocolate. Pretty yummy. Pepero Day is actually tomorrow, November 11th, as 11/11 resembles four Pepero sticks. Today, like on Valentine's Day back home, friends and lovers exchange Pepero candy as a sign of friendship and/or love. Wow. Talk about a killer marketing strategy for Lotte (the company that created Pepero). Even though Pepero Day is technically tomorrow, as it's Friday and not everyone goes to school on Saturday, many of the students were celebrating today. Nearly everyone carried bags stuffed full of Pepero and Pepero-rip-offs, and we teachers were given large stashes of candy as well.
Pepero!
Yum!
I enjoy some Pepero.
One of our students said it best in her essay on fall:
Autumn is snack seller's trick.

I guess in Korea they don't care about November 11, 1918, when the war to end all wars came to an end.
Well, considering that Korea was suffering under Japanese occupation at that point in time... my guess is no.
isnt pepero the same as pocky?
our japanese girls gave us some "man's pocky". that was odd. it was green.
