It is holiday in Korea since yesterday because of the celebration of Seollal or Lunar New Year, my husband and I shopped for marinated pork meat to grill at Nonghyup supermarket like what expected the supermarket is giving food trays to every shoppers. We are asked to get one but we declined because we are moving soon and we can’t use it.

Korean New Year is the first day of the Korean lunar calendar. It is one of the most significant traditional Korean holidays. It consists of a period of celebrations, starting on New Year’s Day. The Lunar New Year celebration lasts three days.

The three day holiday is used by many to return to their hometowns to visit their parents and other relatives, where they perform an ancestral ritual called charye. It seems most of the occupants in our apartment building went home to their respective ancestral homes because it is quite empty unlike the normal days, most shopped are closed as well.

Last night my husband asked me to get him a pepperoni pizza but when I went to Pizza school they are already closing so I went to 59 Pizza which is about 5-10 minutes away but the latter was already closed. It seems both pizza place closed early because of the Lunar New Year which is celebrated in Korea.

Going home I passed by the new shops around the street and I have seen that GS25 sells New York Hot Dog, so I went inside to give it a try and to look for pizza as well. I took picture of the banner so I can show it to the sales clerk but it still took long time before she could understand that I want to order each kind.  I have waited for my order but I was surprised to received the hot dogs without a wrapper just  a piece of cartoon to hold them. The hot dogs comes with free can of Pepsi and when it was handed to me I let the sales clerk to put it on my cross bag as my hands are holding the hot dogs.

When I reached home I can’t open the door so I called for my husband and he was disappointed that I was not able to buy pepperoni pizza and he didn’t like the hot dog as well. So I went to GS25 where we usually buy snacks to look for pizza, and gladly I was able to find pizza for him.

Dogs have to be tamed and trained while they are still young so they are easy to handle in a given situation. To keep your young children and guests from harm, use a dog shock collar to discipline them. There are a lot of training collars in online pet stores and before placing your order, read some dog shock collar reviews.

When buying a dog shock collar, make sure you know what type is best for a specific training. A dog obedience collar is recommended when teaching them how to behave properly in a certain situation. A remote control is used when you want to correct the dog’s behavior by sending shock through the vibration from the collar.

Dogs can be annoying to your neighbors when they bark incessantly. Use a dog barking collar to stop your dog from barking your visitor. If you want your dog to stay put in a specific area of your backyard, dog containment is employed by burying an electric wire in the yard. The dog will receive the shock through the collar that is connected with the wire when it goes beyond the boundary of your yard.
