Remember and remind

My husband withdrawed much money one day. We needed to pay the rent within some days. But he hesitated where we can keep this money safely. we don`t have any drawer for the valuables in our house. Finally he kept the money under a box. And he asked me "Let`s remember together the place I keep the money. If I can`t find the money, please remind me of the money."

A special ritual before a marrige in Korea

A groom visits his bride`s house 1 month before a marrige with a special letter and presents for her. Items of presents are jewelry, hand bag, cosmetics and so on. Anyway when he comes into a main entrance of her house, there is a special rutial. The groom must break a bottle gourd very powerfully. It needed to be scattered. we believe that we can prevent bad luck through this ritual before the marriage.
