CHUSEOK

Last days, when tried to communicate with a Korean supplier, our manager said that it would be unavailable now since it was holidays in Korea. Yes, looking at the Korean calendar, 18 to 20 September are marked red, means it is national holidays. They celebrated Chuseok, it is mid autumn or harvest festival. Some said that it is also like Thanksgiving Day ala Korean. There is also customs for the Korean to return hometown to respect their ancestors. Our manager said it is just like Ied Mubarakh holidays in Indonesia. And the beverage being served that day for the Korean managers is below (I thought it must be the traditional/special food during Chuseok). My manager explained that these all called “tteok”, means cake.
