Doljanchi

For my first doljanchi, this was pretty spectacular, the parents had gone all out! They had hired a huge hall in 'Korea Wedding'. At the entrance there was a table with a very expensive looking photo album of the baby, photos printed on to ceramic plates and a gold cast of the babies feet and hands.



There was a huge buffet, spread along the back of the hall, with an open kitchen will people cooking more food. There were balloon displays, 2 projector screens, running a video and photos of the baby, a stand up poster screen with a picture of the baby.

The food was AMAZING! There was sushi, caviar, oysters, shrimps, all kinds of rice cakes, fruit, salad, kimbap fried vegetables, soups, kebabs. ALL KINDS!!

We then sang happy birthday and the doljabi took place.

This is a video of the Doljabi, where the baby picks the object,



He picked up the string which signifies a long life but also picked up a mouse as well, showing he would get a job in technology.

It was a pretty interesting experience. When we left, we were given a box of rice cake and a towel, with the baby's name embroidered on!
