Teacher's Day

Saturday was Teacher's Day in Korea; here is a list of the presents we received:

Brandi:

100,000 won Lotte Department Store gift certificate
35,000 Starbucks gift certificate
Five pairs of designer socks from Elle and Beanpole
Two bottles of shower gel
Hand cream
Two pens decorated as cloth carnations
Two chocolate bars
A long-stem rose
Many handwritten cards in broken English from kids and parents

Erik:

An approximately $75 dollar bottle of 17 year old scotch whisky
Man lotion
Mini bottles of spf 50 sunscreen, face whitening lotion, and ginseng "face awakening" lotion
Gum and chocolate
A long-stem rose
A cloth carnation pen
More broken English cards

We bought a nice Korean tea set with the Lotte gift card.  It was actually hard to find something to buy in Lotte that only cost 100 bucks.  I don't know why anybody would shop there.  Now I just need to get well so I can spend my Starbucks money...mmm.  Teacher's Day rocks.
