Happy Pepero Day

Today (11-11-05) is Pepero Day here in Korea.  A Pepero is a cookie-type snack.  It's long and skinny and dipped in chocolate.  There are different varieties, too.  Anyway, today's the day you're supposed to buy these snacks and give them to your sweethearts or your friends or your teachers (or, as the kids think, the teachers are required to buy them for the students!).  It's basically another Valentine's Day that's been created by companies in Korea.  Anyway, it's cute.  I think the little Pepero cartoon characters are especially cute.  Everything in Korea has a cartoon character!  Check out www.pepero.co.kr to see them.  There's a link at the bottom left for a Pepero song, too!  :)
