I&#8217;m okay whether we have a long or short Chuseok since we don&#8217;t need to travel to the province anymore. So have you shopped for Chuseok gift?

		<description><![CDATA[Three Fridays ago, I attended the &#8220;Jongro Day Care Bazaar&#8221; held by the government-operated day care centers in the district of Jongro-gu in Seoul. Prices in Seoul are high, especially products for babies and kids. Even if you visit flea markets, they are still quite high considering that you&#8217;re buying used items.
