Well it's an extra special Pepero Day here in Korea. Not a normal 11.11 but an 11.11.11 (I bet that means even more Pepero). I did a summary of last years Pepero Day and very little has changed. But I think the day after 수능 maybe we all need a little candy.
I know for some people the fact that it's 11.11.11 bring extra significance to this day, but they are people with no understanding of the development of the modern calendar or how arbitrary it is (sorry to sound cynical, but if we were still on the Caesarian calendar this day was 3 weeks ago. On the Muslim calendar it won't happy for 600 years and on the Buddhist one it happened 500 years ago, and all those dates place an assumption on a major event on those days and assume that we got the dates right, all of which is debatable to say the least).
So for everyone in Korea, enjoy a Merry Pepero Day :P
