It’s Children’s Day

Today, May 5th, is Children’s Day her in Korea. Lots of gift giving for the little ones. Usually they get more or larger presents than for their birthdays. No school and many business are closed, so there’s lots of kids in the street and in the park. MyeongHee went to work this morning, so there’s no much for me to do. I’ll probably take the dog to Ulsan Grand Park and let her run a bit. She’s too well known here in our neighborhood. So much so, that when we go to the park across the street she’s swarmed with kids who know her and want to play. I don’t get a chance to even throw the ball as the kids all crowd me out. At the big park, she’s an unknown so the crowd isn’t quite so immediate. Once we start throwing the ball, though, we’ll get a crowd of Koreans who evidently think it strange and fantastic to play fetch with a dog.
