This weekend we have a very long weekend. This is because of the Chuseok Holiday. Chuseok or sometimes spelled Chusok is one of the main holiday in Korea. The celebration is basically the same as "Thanksgiving"-day, however in Korea they are thankful to their ancestor. This holiday is also the same as "Lebaran" in Indonesia as this is the time where all Koreans returning to their hometown. This holiday is a family holiday, where in the family gather and meet in their hometown and celebrate with a big feast.

For us, we don't have anywhere to go. Therefore we went downtown to see what's going on there. Well because this holiday is more to a family holiday, the city was not as crowded as normal day, and the activities just started at 2pm. We walked around the shops and also drop by at "Warung Indonesia" to have beloved Indonesian Food.
