The 22nd to the 25th is the Korean “Thanksgiving” harvest holiday known as Chuseok. DailyNK reports that this is one of the few holidays North Koreans are able to celebrate without any sort of political worship. Typically a feast (very expensive by North Korean standards, often costing as much as a month’s salary) of harvest foods are consumed and the graves of deceased family members are visited and honoured. Perhaps someday separated familes from the South and North can celebrate a Chuseok feast together in the future.
