Happy Birthday!
October 16, 2006
Today was my 38th birthday. The wonderful
Hwang family made me me a luscious dinner of some of my favorite
Korean dishes and we also had a scrumptious birthday cake.
What I learned today about Korea: 1) Traditionally,
Koreans eat a special soup called Mi Yeok Guk (seaweed soup) on
their birthday. This is the same food that mothers eat after
they give birth. It's supposed to bring good luck. I had
some of course!
