Liberation Day

Tomorrow, South Korea will celebrate Liberation Day or Gwangbokjeol (literally meaning: "Restoration Day of Light").  This holiday always falls on August 15th.  It celebrates Victory over Japan Day which liberated Korea from colonial rule.  Many homes and businesses will display the national flag.



"Gwangbokjeol song" is sung at all official events on this day.



Since it's a national holiday, Zach and I have the day off of work.  He plans to play Go and I will go to either a park or museum with some of our friends.
