So a quick breakdown goes like this: some of the food like the noodles and rice represented the hopes that he would find a good wife and that they are blessed with children. With the objects, they would be placed on the floor and the father would walk him around them and then he would be free to choose 3 item. Those items represent what he may become in the future or certain attributes. Daniel chose a gavel, a quill pen and money. Therefore, he could have a career in law, he'll be a great writer and he'll be wealthy. Nice picks kid! A lot of the others food were just traditional foods and desserts that are accustomed at every party, like potato salad at a picnic or pancit at a Filipino gathering. I stayed a little after to give them some files and Daniel's mom hooked me up with some yum yum food, like Korean style beef Bulgogi, some noodles (Jap Chae), sushi, and some desserts. I ate all of it, like the piggy I am!
It was a pleasure being there and a great lesson in Korean culture. Here are some photos to share. They were very concerned about privacy so there's just a few.
Enjoy!
