I got the whole week off (and don't have to use vacation days!) and a set of olive oil.

You?

I got soap from the Body Shop. My private student give to me yesterday. It's for women though but my wife can use it. I got nothing from the school yet.

It's better than moon cake from Taiwan because in Taiwan that's all you will get is mooncake with an egg yolk inside or some stale fruit inside. Sometimes it's ok but after 8 years of that I am happy to be back in Korea. At least Koreans give unique gifts although I noticed they still have those LG gift sets of soap and shampoo and toothpaste here but I will take that over mooncake.

We get to choose from a choice of 6-7 different things...most of them decent and non-Korean (meaning not Spam or $60 mushrooms), but none of them being cash.
