No Margaritas For Me

May 5th = Cinco de Mayo, right? Wrong! In Korea, May 5th is Children's Day.  

When I first heard of Children's Day, I thought that it would be one of those 'holidays'. Wrong again! Children's Day is a national holiday. On Children's Day, schools and businesses close and beware of parks. They become a dangerous place to tread.  Bikes and baseballs flying everywhere just waiting to take you out. But of course, I still had to work. Classes were shorter, we played games, and watched music videos. Just another tough day at the office. I learned that there are even more k-pop boy bands. And our heated discussion for the day: who is better Big Bang vs. N'sync. 

The teachers had everything from bingo to tongue twisters for the kids. My personal favorite was the dancing. It seemed like every student knew at least one pop dance. At times, it looked like there was a pint-size boy band in front of the class. (Maybe they can show me some moves!)

Needless to say, it was an interesting day at work, but I prefer celebrating Cinco do Mayo with margaritas! Stay tuned...

Peace & Love,
