May 5th is a holiday in Korea, specifically Children's Day. The day has been around for decades, and it was recognized as a holiday off from school in the '70s. (Not everyone gets the day off, especially if you work someplace parents would want to take their kids..!) Children's Day is also celebrated, off the top of my head, in Japan, China, and many other Asian countries. On the holiday, parents take kids to zoos, theme parks, mountains, beaches, and celebrate kids being kids. Before the actual date, schools put together fun activities, such as games, movies, and field trips.
My school made yummy sponge cakes, which we got to decorate...
...and then we promptly threw up all of the icing we ate.
