August 14th: Green Day!
Yes, my friends….Green Day is in fact more than a band. Every 14th of the month is celebrated as something special in Korean tradition, and this time around is the day for couples to dress in green and take a walk through the woods.
As with Kiss Day in June, I’m not sure that this is much more “tradition” than it is an opportunity for couples to camouflage themselves and make out publicly in outwardly-conservative Korea, but it is what it is.
For those of you who are single today, you are free to drown your sorrows by drinking a green bottle of soju…good for the senses!
