If I were still in LA, I’d celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Mexican food and margaritas today. In Korea, May holidays include Children’s Day 어린이날 (5/5) and Buddha’s Birthday 석가탄신일 (5/12). As a gyopo, this Monday I will avoid crowded family fun zones and serve something Mexican for dinner. Next week, as a good wife, I will go to temple with mother-in-law and enjoy all the colorful lanterns with wishes attached.
Colorful lanterns line the street to commemorate Buddha’s Birthday in Seoul.

Standards for good Mexican food drop after living in Seoul for any length of time. I have heard about Pancho’s in Itaewon but have not gone yet. I have eaten at Taco Chili Chili in Kangnam and been pleasantly surprised. They have good hot sauce which forgives the plain rice in the burritos.
