Korean Memorial Day

Last Wednesday was Memorial day in the ROK. It is a holiday set on the anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War and commemorates that event. For us it's a public and holiday and we spent it how everyone spends Memorial days around the world. Sleeping in and then going to a BBQ, drinking and generally forgetting why there is a holiday in the first place.

We had grabbed the meat the night before at Homeplus, so Mike set up a bbq on his roof and we spent the day watching baseball on the laptop and cooking meat. It was a lot of fun and I'd love to do another bbq up there this summer. The neighbours didn't seem to mind too much, though no one seemed interested in joining us (a couple looked like they had commemorated the war the night before at a beer and soju place).

It was a great day and wrapped up by 10.
