Today is 11/11 the bbe-bbe-ro day.

So far the kids gave me 5 big sticks and two boxes.

You can't never have too much of this chocolate goodness.

[Xuanzang]

3 big sticks so far.

Last year I was given almost 200.

I kept them in my classroom cupboard for 6 weeks and gave them back to the kids at Christmas time.

(They wanted their Melatonin allowance)

[Loudog]

Two boxes, and one stick so far. I am keeping it in my desk to give as treats later.

Can there be anything better than Death by Chocolate...

Another box!

Followed by an invitation to a wedding...

[Xuanzang]

3 big sticks, 3 of the normal red boxes and 2 medium sized sticks.

I considered buying Pepero for my students, but only bought a few packets for people who gave them to me. I also bought a normal red packet for my coteacher, with a bow on it.

I've only gotten 3 almond sticks from a little girl I didn't recognize and I gave her a lollipop in return and she ran out giggling. Heh

2 boxes (1 gift wrapped in Hello Kitty paper!) and 1 big stick for me.

Not nearly the same haul as I had on Teachers Day!

[Clockout]

I gave a bunch and got a bunch.

This stuff is so addicting. The almond ones will kill me. I've probably ate 5 boxes today.

My school is shut down because of swine flu... Though we have to chair warm from 10-4ish anyway...
Alas, no delicious little 빼 뺴 로 스 for me...

And Lotte just keeps rakin' in the dough.

I should make Bloopity Day.

So far, I've received 1 box of the standard stuff and one stick from a 3rd grader who was halfway through the box. I kind of appreciated the one stick more than the box. What a nice kid.

EDIT: RIGHT after I clicked 'Submit', one of my 6th graders runs in with 2 big sticks.

3 big sticks, 1 of the chocolate filled boxes (my preference), 1 clear plastic tube, and 1 standard red, but I have 4 more classes! Go Bpe-be-ro!

*note I didn't buy ANY for my students, I am playing dumb and so far it's going very well.

[Old Gil]

4 regular, one big stick, one almond, and one box of chococlate-filled from some Chinese people i met at a kimbap cheonguk.

One of the teachers at my school told the children to stop eating beppero, as "its from China and is bad for you"..

Actually today is traditionally "farmers day" in Korea, where people eat big sticks of dokk. At least they used to until the beppero company took it over.
