(입트영) Duck Day and Cucumber Day.....13.5.2

Duck Day and Cucumber Day
There are so many special “Days” in Korea. You know what I mean, like valentine’s Day, White Day, Rose Day, and so on and so forth. You probably know that these days are meant for couples. But some other special “Days” are designed to promote consumption of particular products by government agencies. And today is that special day. It’s Duck Day and Cucumber Day! The number five-two are pronounced “oh-ee” and that means cucumber in Korean. Furthermore, they also sound like o-ri, which means duck in Korean. By encouraging the consumption of these products, the government hopes to boost income for local farmers.
