Ok, so I was talking to a Korean friend of mine today, and I learned about yet another uplifting love holiday here in Korea: Black Day!
On April 14th, those who are single and did not receive any gifts for Valentine's Day or White Day get together to commiserate and eat Chinese black noodles. From what I gather, they are called Jajangmyeon: noodles topped with thick black bean paste. I have no idea whether they are tasty, or whether they taste the way they look and are supposed to represent your inner pain at being, oh horrors, single! Someone also told me that eating these noodles is supposed to bring good luck for next year. So get out your chopsticks all you singletons!
