I just received my Chuseok gift from my Principal and it turned out to be two 1 kg boxes of those little dried fish. How in hell am I gonna get through that much?? I think spam might have been better! Anybody else get any nice gifts?

I'm hoping for liquor. Maybe some Blue Label. Cheap brandy that looks expensive would be fine.

I got some nice red wine off a cheap ass hagwon 2 years ago... that was nice. I appreciate the fish but you're right, booze is best.

My sweet co teacher bought me and a friend of my choice- a 1 hr facial and back massage at a beauty shop. My school gave me a 30,000won clothing voucher and 2 cute coffee mugs. I'm happy with that! Smile

Got a huge box of frozen beef. It has five packages, and each package has about 6-7 squares of meat. They said it cost 250,000 won. Considering this company employs hundreds of people, godamn..

I have two small oranges on my desk. Not sure if they are my gift or not but I don't want them.

5 kg of apples from my co-teacher...Sounds nice, right?

But actually someone gave it to him and he already has apples so he asked if I wanted them and I said sure. SO....technically, I got squat....

Just got six bars of almond yogurt soap from my vice-principal. I am down to a sliver of soap, so I appreciate it! Last year I got a box of spam from my hogwon boss. I left in in my last apartment when I left.

Some kind of box of rice crackers. Probably give it to my doorman. The other FT got a box of seaweed. So i'd say I fared better.

I work for a software company that has around 1,200 employees.

This Chuseok the bonus system for regular (non-managerial) employees is as follows

Employees that have been with the company for less than 1 month: 100,000 won.

Employees that have been with the company for between 1 and 5 months: 200,000 won.

Employees that have been with the company for more than 5 months: 300,000 won.

Everyone seems pretty happy with the system.
