Chusok @ Swaton Language School For Kids

On Thursday September 16, 2005, Alwyn and I helped out at the Swaton Kindergarten Chusok Party. Chusok is the Korean Thanksgiving holiday and Chusok day was on Sunday September 19 this year.

Chusok is a quite a big deal in Korea its probably the equivalent to christmas back home, but most importantly it meant 5 days off work for us, for which I give thanks. The party involved the kids playing traditional Korean games, making traditional toys, as well as preparing and eatting the traditional Chusok snack, song pyun. By far the highlight of the day was seeing the little ones dressed up in their Hanbok (Traditional Korean Dress). They were so cute, they all looked like little Korean princes and princesses. It was a really fun day, I have attached a few photos from the day - enjoy.
