Memories of Pepero Day!

mmmmmmmmmm, Pepero day.....this is a holiday that appears to designed specifically by the government scheming with the company that manufactures those lovely Pepero sticks.....Pepero are essentially upright mutant breadstick/pretzels covered in chocolate and/or other assortments of goodies, like almonds.....not surprisingly, this holiday is scandalously phallic.....and what you do on Pepero day is buy them for everyone.....likewise, everyone else buys them for everyone they know.....this holiday is genius.....Koreans all simply buy each other Pepero.....and that's it.....it has some semblance of Valentine 's Day, and likewise there is an uncanny level or marketing that goes into this holiday.....but it happens on 11/11.....back home, we call this Rememberance Day in honour of veterans who fought in the war.....which is somewhat sombre and reflective.....Pepero day on the otherhand, falls on this day merely because 11/11 looks like 4 sticks, and sticks look like Pepero.....

all the students at school get absolutely jacked on this stuff and can't sit still for more than 5 seconds all day.....then by half way through the day, they all feel sick.....and then that's the time to explain to them just how much homework they are going to be getting.....along with another box of Pepero
