107 _ Holidays and Food Constitution Day (July 17) : This national holiday celebrates the establishment of the first Korean Constitution on July 17, 1948. The Republic of Korea was established about a month later. Liberation Day (August 15) : Taegeukgi, the Korean national flag, fly from nearly every building on this day, which marks the end of 35-year Japanese colonial rule in 1945. Chuseok or Harvest Festival Day (Fifteenth Day of the Eighth Month by the Lunar Calendar) : This is one of the great national holidays of the year. On this day a feast is prepared and families hold memorial services at family grave sites. Viewing the full moon is a feature of the evening. National Foundation Day (October 3) : Called Gaecheonjeol Day, this is the day when Dangun founded the first Korean kingdom. Christmas (December 25) : Christianity took hold in Korea only in the 19th century, so this day has less religious significance. Just as everywhere else, though, it is a time to exchange greetings and gifts. Grandfather Santa, as he is called in Korea, is somewhat smaller in build than his Western counterpart.

The most famous Korean dish is kimchi, and it would not be wrong to assume that most Koreans eat kimchi in one form or another everyday. kimchi is a general term for a pickled vegetable side dish, made of Chinese cabbage, radish, cucumbers, and red peppers. Scholars have documented over 170 varieties, but the most common is kimchi made with Chinese cabbage. Kimchi is but one of many side dishes that accompany rice. Since all the dishes are presented together on a table, Korean etiquette does not require a specific order in eating. Rather, the focus is on the number of dishes. Traditionally, the number of dishes indicated the position of both the
