August 7, according to the Korean Farmer's Almanac, was the end of the Dog Days of Summer. It was a pretty hot summer in Korea, as everyone keeps on telling me, but I'm sure not as oppressive as the record breaking heat that everyone in the States have gone through. To mark the end of the oppressive summer heat, the Korean tradition is to eat a hot lean stew, like samgaetang (chicken ginseng soup) or bosintang (puppy stew). Yes, no joke. Some of the Koreans weren't happy with that and decided to lock themselves up in a cage. I love that picture of the dog just chillin like he's not going to be someone's dinner tonight.
I know, I know, I'm very behind on the blog updates. Lot of things have been consuming my time. But starting next weekend, I will be able to add some overdue articles, since I'm coming back to the U.S.!!! I told work that I need a break and that I will be back after Labor Day when flights get cheaper. And they bought my story but I still have to keep an eye on my projects. Anyways, I can't wait to indulge in some Chipotle, crab cakes, peking duck, $10 pinot grigio bottles, and mom's cooking. I've actually become exponentially more productive after buying my plane ticket. English speakers, I can't wait to catch up with you guys!
