Happy Ppeppero Day!

Do you think that the United States is the only country with contrived holidays that are all about commercialism?  You'd be wrong.  Korea does too.  Ppeppero Day is like Korean Valentine's Day.  It is celebrated on November 11 each year.  Couples exchange boxes of Ppepperos, long battons of pretzel filled with chocolates.  Here's more about that holiday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepero

Also, here are some adorable Jindo puppies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRUBDTDeMAs&feature=related   Jindos are Korea's national dog.
