Have I Mentioned How Much I Love My Kindergartens?

Oh like you've never changed your mind or opinion about something.

Ok maybe I don't actually love teaching the kindergartens, and maybe everyday I try to bribe, blackmail, or proposition one of the other teachers into taking my class but somedays even I can be wrong about them. (me? wrong? shocking I know...)

As you might know the next week coming is Chusok (I get nine days off na na na na na!). Which from what I can gather is the Korean equivalent of Thanksgiving but much higher regarded and is their main holiday. So because of Chusok one of the kindergarten moms, coincidently the mom whose child screamed bloody murder the other day, brought me a gift! (even better, tomorrow apparently I will get more gifts because it is common to give gifts to the whitey foreigners!)

It made my day, it is a gift box of coffee, and their gift boxes are kind of funny here because they just seem to use everyday products but give them in quantity (like a costco pack!) So I have like a year's supply of Maxim (which looks as close to Maxwell house as you can get without infringing on the copyright) instant coffee, coffee whitener and mugs!

It's like all those years I sucked up to my teachers with gifts is finally coming back to me!
