Pepero Day!

Today is Pepero Day here in Korea.  Pepero is what in the States is known as Pocky.  People exchange pepero, because the date is 11/11, which looks like four sticks of pepero.  Remember on Valentine's Day in elementary school when everyone would exchange little valentines, and some would be tiny boxes of candy with the valentine printed on the side.  That's basically what happens on Pepero Day; you get lots of boxes of Pocky with a note written on the box.  It's only half way through the day, and I've already got six boxes and some jumbo sticks of it.  Yum!  I think I'll go try dipping some in my coffee...
