Its holiday today in Korea, actually it started from yesterday until end of this week.It's the Lunar new year or some say Chinese New year or xinnien or we called in sincia or imlek in Indonesia. In Korea, it becomes Korean New year or Solnal (설닐 pronouce seollal). This is one of the biggest holiday in Korea after 추석 (Chusok) or the Korean thanks giving day. Just like in Singapore, between this period of time everywhere becomes like a ghost town, very quite and no stores open. Because everyone spend their time with their family. The situation is almost like "lebaran" or idul fitri in Indonesia.
Speaking of that, Lebaran actually celebrate the Islamic new year also. So the strange thing is that, in Singapore people thought that the Chinese celebrate Chinese new year, The Moslem's celebrate the Islamic new year, and the Christian celebrate the calender new year....hmmm.....
Anyway, Happy Lunar New year to all...Gong Xi Fa Cai...새해 복 많이 받으세요 (Se he bok mani pat deseyo)
