Happy Cinco de Children's Day

Today is Children's Day in Korea. It's a day where they take a break and honor the youngest generation. They shower them with gifts and indulge them with treats and family fun.

But it's Cinco de Mayo in my brain. Bring on the mariachi, dancing, and margaritas. Well, there aren't a whole lot of Mexicans in Korea (go figure), so we celebrated Cinco de Children's day instead. We fixed galbi (Korean-style barbeque) for dinner while I told them about Cinco de Mayo. It's a win-win right?

Unfortunately with me working and the base in an exercise, we did not have the day off to spend with them like the rest of the country did. But we'll get our time this weekend as we celebrate Mother's Day.
