Finally, after a long hiatus, I’m baaack! 🙂 Happy PEPERO Day, everyone! 🙂  This November 11 thing  is an observance in Korea but since I’m a big fan of Pepero, I’m joining in the celebration. I first learned about this from a Korean classmate back in high school (more than a decade ago!!!) but it was only recently that I “observed” it. In case you’re wondering what I’m talking about, Pepero is a popular Korean snack, a biscuit stick dipped in chocolate. Boxes of these chocolate-covered biscuit sticks are exchanged among people to show affection. Sources say that originally, peperos were exchanged in hopes of getting thinner and taller.  As you will notice, the sticks resemble the date 11.11.:)

11.11 is Pepero Day! They say the chocolate-covered biscuit sticks resemble the numbers. Pepero Day is observed in Korea every November 11 and people exchange peperos as a symbol of affection. Originally, some say, peperos were exchanged by participants in the past in hopes of getting thinner and taller. Happiest birthday, dear @tiffany_chloe!!! ❤️
