Chuseok


Chuseok is Korea's answer to Thanksgiving. It's pretty much the same thing.... but totally different.
That's right! It's time for another thrilling episode of "Same Same but Different".
Welcome back to another episode of Same Same but Different, I'm your host Kim Jong Will and today we will be comparing two thanksgiving celebrations to determine which country is truly superior. Let's get right to it. You know the rules: three categories only one winner.

Category ONE     FOOD

Thanksgiving:
Turkey
Mashed potatoes 
Green bean casserole
Gravy
No kimchee
Stuffing
Cranberry salad
Chuseok:
Kimchee
Rice cakes with raisins

 I think this battles winner is obvious if you don't agree you 
can shut your lying stupid kimchee eating mouth.


Category TWO      Tradition

Thanksgiving:
Giving thanks
Being racially incentive
Yelling at family members
Chuseok:
Hamboks (traditional wear)
Cleaning graves of relitaves
Playing games
Visiting family
Korean wrestling

No surprise here Chuseok has been celebrated since 57 BC, where as Thanksgiving has been around as long as your local 7-11.



Tied at 1 to 1 we need an impartial way to decide the ultimate winner. The two holidays will have a picture battle royal. 
Google if you will:

"Thanksgiving"                                                               "Chuseok"

















Chuseok scored with the cats but thanksgiving has sexy Indians.
It's a toss up. We can't have a tie so here for your viewing pleasure is a super extra bonus tiebreaker video.


 It appears Chuseok has won! ...eh who am I kidding Thanksgiving won me with "Turkey".

  1. Okay the little wrestlers looked something like our normal holidays with all you guys around. So that was a toss up. I guess I'd vote for our thanksgiving since you'll be home then.
    Btw
    We thought we would stuff the turkey with kimchee this Thanksgiving. What do you think? -mom

  2. And can we forgo cranberry salad in favor of kimchee salad? Can dad come up with a kimchee-based beer in time? I sure hope so.
