Boys and their toys. I guess the red antenna is to help find the vehicle after heavy snow.  |

Thank you. I missed the actual daeboreum (대보름 - great full moon), but this is the day after and the moon still looked full when rising. (Daeboreum is the Korean word literally meaning "Great Full Moon." It is a celebration on the 15th day of the Lunar Year - the lunar new year is always on a new moon. Sometimes, people say "Chinese New Year," and while it is celebrated as such in China, it's not quite accurate to call it that since the lunar calendar was used all over East Asia, and every ethnicity there has its own traditions. In Korea, seallal (lunar new year) is more of a family celebration whereas daeboreum is more of a party and festival. The autumn counterpart is called "Chuseok" in Korea and sometimes people explain that as "Korean Thanksgiving," but again, this is not accurate as 1) it is celebrated all over East Asia in different traditions and 2) it is actually the harvest moon which always falls on 8/15 of the lunar calendar, and we usually know of it as the full moon in September. It is also a family celebration but both it and Seollal are actually 3 day celebrations starting the day before, and continuing through the day after). That's more than I intended to write, but I can't seem to even say "hello" in one or two sentences  Anyway, no Seollal, Daeboreum, nor Chuseok here except for the small Korean population here. |

That picture is one of those things that makes me wish we had different reations. That's a great picture to capture, but "like" is ambiguous there. I like the picture, but hate the situations.
