Korea especially has more "special" days to celebrate than many other nations.
For example, Korea has White day when guys give candies to girls in return for the chocolates they got on Valentine's day!
And today, November 11th is the "Pepero Day"!
On November 11th, people exchange or simply give one of the most long time favorite snacks in Korea "pepero" to those they love. The day was made by the pepero company(Lotte) because November 11th(11/11) resembles four lined up peperos! (pepero is a long skinny cracker sticks covered in chocolate (well there are few variations though))
Since the birth of the "Pepero day," many people especially students and lovers have fun exchanging and giving out peperos.
It will be a fun experience to try some peperos on Nov. 11th! :-)
