2.How touse my napkin?

　　 As soon as you are seated, unfold your napkin and place it on your lap. The napkin remains on your lap until the end of the meal. That’s when the diners are leaving the table, not just when you finish! If you need to leave the table temporarily, you may leave the napkin in your chair as a signal to the waiter that you will be returning. This is also a consideration for the other diners who won’t have to look at your soiled napkin on the table! Use your napkin before drinking from a glass or cup. At the end of the meal, place your napkin partly folded, never crumpled, at the left of your plate. Even a paper napkin should never be crushed or tossed into your plate.

　　 In South Korea, on the 100th day after a child’s birth, a small party is usually held to celebrate the child having survived this period. If the child has been unwell or is sick at this time, the family passes the day without acknowledgement or party, because they are considered unlucky for the child.

　　 At this time the Samshin Halmoni(山神婆婆) is honored with rice and soup for having cared for the child and the mother, and for helping them live through a difficult period. The family, relatives, and friends then celebrate with rice cakes, wine, and other delicacies such as red and black bean cakes sweetened with sugar or honey.

　　 To prevent disasters and to bring the child good luck and happiness, red bean cakes are placed at the four compass points within the house. It is also believed that if the steamed rice cakes are shared with 100 people, the child will have a long life. Therefore, rice cakes are usually sent to as many people as possible to help share the happiness of the occasion. People who receive rice cakes do not return the serving vessels(容器) empty, but with some threads expressing the hope of long life, and with some rice and money meaning future wealth.

　　 One of the most important birthdays in South Korea is a child’s first birthday. The child is dressed in special clothes and taken in front of a large gathering of friends and family members. The celebration includes a big feast and the guests leave money for the new one-year-old child. It is believed by South Koreans that the child’s future is told by the things the 1-year-old child picks up.
