Full moon festival !

Few weeks ago, korean celebrated the Lunar calendar's new year.
During the Full moon festival, people were writing their wishes on a paper, hang it on a huge hay tree, then at the end of the day, the tree is burnt, so all the wishes become ash and fly to the sky.
(Poetic, but not super healthy to breath ahah!)

It took place at the Namsangol village, you can see the Namsan Tower from there, which is pretty cool.




The first full moon signified a chance to wish for food luck and to ward off misfortune. Of course I want food luck !!!!
This is the hay tree, with the wishes about 2017 on it. (And the Namsan Tower on the background ! )

There is not a lot of paper for the moment because we put ours around 4pm, people will come all the afternoon to write theirs !













You can also break some nuts with a hammer (or with you teeth) to prevent skin problems.

If you arrive early enough to get a ticket, you can have some 5 grains rice balls, which brings you good luck too. But unfortunately, we arrived too late.

(Choosing between sleeping late and miss the ticket or getting up early and get a ticket was a terrible choice I had to do... ahahah!)

Drinking liquor during the first full moon was thought to make your ears sharper and so receive good news.
