I am flying from Incheon tomorrow, so one of my adult students gave me his airline lounge card =) Free sandwiches and booze for me!

I once got a pair of genuine Versace sunglasses from a uni student. Very Happy

Genuine Versace in Korea? Hmmmm....

I have had some quite generous parents and students though. ^^

Yeah, I know, I couldn't believe it either, but I checked when I got back to the US and they're the real deal. I think he got a five-finger discount. Wink

One day I went to the grocery store with a couple of my high schoolers. They insisted on carrying my stuff back to my place. The bag was heavy so I was happy for the help. I gave them some Big Reg gum as thanks.

I teach this class of Public servants (really fun actually) and to date:

1) When break time rolls around the 2 highest paid guys run out the door. Now everyone just yells stuff at them, must be swearing at them (Dwai-ji Ba, Jawz, Shuuting staw, lol)

2) Many juices

3) the strangest was a week ago. One young lady gave me a carton of eggs for my wife. ( I was thinking thanks...but WTF?)

I once got a gift set of underwear that wouldn't have fit my bootie at 12 years old, let alone now.

Probably the weirdest thing I ever got was a Sambo doll. Really creeped me out. It had string arms and legs, a fur body and a sucker thing to hang it from your car window. This was back when you could still find Sambo toothpaste in the stores. Being a right-thinking American, I was appalled, but the anthropologist in me said, "Shut up and say thank you, they have no idea how insulting this is."

Not that I expect gifts from students, but it's nice to get them sometimes. I got a Louis Vuitton (sp?) purse for Christmas once. I thought that was pretty darn generous.

I tend to get a lot of good chocolate too (I may have let it slip how much I like chocolate... once... or twice... maybe more). Earlier this summer a student brought me a big box of Belgian chocolates he'd bought on vacation in Europe. That was lovely.

Cool

If I ate all the cookies, ice cream and Pocari Sweat my kids brought me I'd be one fat waygook. I feel like an idiot carrying all the crap home only to toss it.
