늘 한가위만 같아라

'Chuseok' (추석, 秋夕) can also be called '한가위', '가위' or '중추절' (中秋節). Weather during Chuseok is not as hot as summer nor as cold as winter. It is considered the best time of the year to be living in and a time when grains and fruits become ripe and people's sense of abundance reaches its peak. Hence, Korean has a saying, "더도 말고 덜도 말고 늘 한가위만 같아라." (Wish not for less or more, just always be like Chuseok (or 한가위). Happy Chuseok ^^

  2. Happy Chuseok to you too!

    I have to admit, I've been reading your blog for quite some time but I rarely comment.

    Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I always enjoy photos and writing, and I'm so glad that you decided to start blogging again. ^^

    I was wondering if it would be possible to get an RSS feed for your blog?

  4. Thank you for your comment.
    As I have no intention to create a following for my blog, I see that RSS feed is not necessary.

  5. Okay, I understand that. I have another question, though. Your Korean is so good but you use Blogger rather than some Korean blogging service. Why? I was just wondering if there was some special reason.

    Sorry if I'm asking too many questions.

  6. Contrary to what you think, I don't think my Korean is good, so I don't dare to use Korean blogging service.
