Ok, unlike a lot of the students we deal with one of them is very cool. She ended up with 2 spare tickets to Pentaport and knowing I wanted to go gave them to me.

Its not some case where im going with her, she just didnt want to waste them. So, score i got two free tickets to something me and my friend was going to pay 90k each for. I figured big result.

I want to get her a gift, something about 20-30k worth, its small money to me really, like i said between 2 of us we are 180k richer now thanks to my student.

I'd like to get a pass to 63 building, i know she likes that. Is it possible? Im near there tomorrow so I can go and find out, other wise all suggestions are welcome.

(please no sick suggestions this is a genuine act of kindness, i know, its rare out here)

Just give her a hundred bucks and stop being cheap.

thank you, but i should of mentioned that i did offer her cash, she said no (many times, i know they want to be poilte) and 2 she didnt pay for the tickets a friend of her family is an organiser.

Accept the gift seeing as she didn't pay for them anyway.
It may make her feel awkward if you force her to accept a gift from you.

Koreans never accept money. If you feel you must repay her in some
way, have it related to her studies. You could buy her a book. eg. a hard cover classic novel, she may not be able to read but it will sure look special. Seeing as its related to study, it's harmless.

Being too thoughtful about a student could create some problems.

How about a t-shirt or souvenir from the concert? (Is it too late for that now?)
