Yesterday was 11/11, or in Korea, Pepero (빼빼로) Day. Koreans sometimes refer to this day as their "Valentine's Day." Pepero is a stick-shaped cookie similar to Pocky (remember Pocky?) and since the sticks resemble the numbers 11/11, Koreans give pepero to their crushes or significant others on this day.

Conversely in China, 11/11 is known as single's day. Supposedly, this began as a cynical response to China's many other couple-centric holidays. On this day, single people celebrate their unchained status by taking advantage of many, many online sales.

I didn't get any pepero yesterday, but I did get a bag of fresh ripe of persimmons! Persimmons were one of the things I missed most about Korea (fresh persimmons, dried persimmons, and especially the gorgeous view of persimmon trees in the snow at Seogang University) so that was much more meaningful than any cookie stick.

고마워요~ 🧡
