May 15th is Teachers Day in South Korea. Some schools close early but mine did not, of course. Students usually present carnations to their teachers on this day but many give special gifts. I was surprised to have gotten anything, given that I had only been at school a month, and I was quite appreciative of the gifts I received!

A gift set from Sam. I love the packaging. I'm sure his mom picked it out. I gave him some stickers at the end of class and the rest of the students accused him of bribery. I protested of course. But I guess in other schools, the gifts have gotten very expensive that schools now close on Teachers Day to avoid the rampant bribery that takes place.

| Soap from Kelly! |
And Juliet gave me a box of pastries, super brownie points for her! And she wore the best jacket to school that day- a Boston Red Sox jacket, so random. Double the stickers for her!

| Thanks, Juliet! |
Not a bad haul after only one month of teaching!
