The column 'Not Just Happiness: The Daily Life of a Divorced Woman in Her Late 30s,' currently serialized on QJweb, has been updated!

It is also posted on Yahoo! News and SmartNews.
It would be a super miracle if you could access it and leave a reaction.
This time, I wrote about celebrations in my husband's hometown, Korea, including some anecdotes about him.
I keep writing 'husband-san' instead of just 'husband' as requested, which I'm afraid is causing extra work for the editor.
I would like to add a few extra anecdotes while quoting from the main article.
My husband told me that eating jajangmyeon after a graduation ceremony is standard, and while I thought that must just be a house rule, I had to believe him because even BTS members were eating jajangmyeon after their graduation ceremonies.
My husband said that since jajangmyeon was considered a bit of a treat in the past, people still eat it for graduation ceremonies even now that it has become a common everyday food.
By the way, he says they also eat jajangmyeon when moving house, which made me think that's the same position as soba noodles in Japan! But soba isn't standard for graduation ceremonies.
Instead, we eat soba on New Year's Eve in Japan...
Hmm, is the versatility similar?
It's different from sushi, though, since one is rice and the other is noodles (is that the point?)
In the first place, jajangmyeon is apparently classified as Chinese cuisine in Korea. I was surprised by that too!
It has evolved uniquely and is said to be the equivalent of ramen in Japan. Is it soba or is it ramen... jajangmyeon.
As a side note to a side note, jajangmyeon restaurants always have jjamppong on the menu (often there are only these two items), but this jjamppong is not the white soup jjamppong found at places like Ringer Hut that Japanese people imagine.
These two seem to be what people think of as Chinese food in Korea, but what kind of cuisine is jjamppong classified as in Japan?
My mother-in-law apparently tracks her birthday by the lunar calendar, and she gets sulky if I don't contact her to celebrate on her birthday! It is quite difficult to celebrate a birthday that changes every year according to the lunar calendar.
Even when my husband calls on the birthday he remembers, she tells him every year, 'It's not today!' I advised him, 'If she's going to say that much, why don't you look up when it is on the lunar calendar every year?' but he says, 'I don't know the birthday in the Gregorian calendar, so there's no way to look it up.'
In other words, his smartphone calendar only has the lunar birthday from a few years ago, and since he doesn't know the Gregorian date, he can't look it up.
Indeed, if you don't know which lunar year it is, it's hard to verify...
If I ask for her lunar birthday in advance this year, I might finally find out her Gregorian birthday!
It should be around May!
I'm going to celebrate it this year for sure!!
So, please read the column!!!!!!
