Event : Niece's 1st birthday bash.
Venue : Grand Hyatt, Seoul.
It's one of the cultures that the babies will be freed and several toys will be put in front of them. In my family, they usually put a calculator, book and a toy ship. The calculator symbolizes that they'll soon help out on the family's business domestically, book symbolizes that they'll become lawyers (and involved in the business as well) and a toy ship symbolizes that they'll get involved in the trading part which basically means they'll expand everything and make them into greater successes.
My niece chose the calculator and everyone was over the moon! Ha-ha.
We do this every year up till 3 years-old. According to my parents, I chose the book when I was one, calculator when I was 2 and the calculator again when I was 3. So they've been quite positive that no matter what fields I study, I'll eventually help out in the business. :p
Which... I'm not certain yet since I don't know what I really really want to do after I graduate. :)
I loooove being exposed with different cultures and thank God for being able to be a part of this family which is rich in culture diversities.
What's your culture like?
