Bag of duk

Duk is the Korean word for rice cake! Today, April (our music teacher) brought a huge bag of duk to tea time to share with everyone.


Stella told me she did this because she had just bought a new car and it's a tradition in Korea to have a ceremony whenever someone starts driving a different car. Friends and family come over to the driver's house and bring Korean food, duk, etc... and give well wishes for safety to the driver! The duk was left over from April's ceremony. Such a funny tradition, huh?!
