Chuseok - Korea's Thanksgiving

This past weekend was Korea's Thanksgiving, also known as Chuseok.  The holiday follows the lunar calendar, so the date (according to the sun calendar) is variable each year.  Most Koreans travel throughout the peninsula to visit family, so many businesses are closed and cities are not as "busy" as they normally are.  I certainly knew it was Thanksgiving in this country when I went to HomePlus (the British version of Walmart) and you could barely move.

Here's an article I wrote about the customs and origin of Chuseok:
