Describe a unique festival/holiday/celebration/custom you have experienced or heard of. Josh- Korea, a babies 1st year birthday is very important because a long time ago it was very hard for babies to survive until 1 year old and the whole village would have celebrated. This is called the Doljanchi (Dol for short). During the birthday many foods are served and eaten with guests. But the ritual and highlight of the party is a fortune telling. This is where different types of items are set in front of the baby and when he/she grabs the item it symbolizes something. Some things used are money (rich), book/brush (scholar), cakes/food (government official), A sword/bow (military), thread (long life), pencil (architecture/ artist). But as time goes by and new jobs and better jobs are created, new items are put in front of the baby.

At 11 o’clock in the morning, they send a five huge rockets filled with tomato. 125,000 kg is an average amount of tomato used in a festival.
