hi all,

looking to get your advice here...
I was teaching in korea from 2000-2004 then i took my k-girl away when i left. We're now getting married next month and her parents are visiting us here in singapore for a week- i've never met them before and they dont speak english. Also my korean has really deteriorated in the past 5 years.

your tips appreciated on how to best impress them and how to behave/ what to say. We have a plan to take them around and i'll be working during the days but anything on ettiquette and such would be greatly appreciated.

J

Just be yourself.

You are not on their territory - they are on yours. The basic bowing and receiving and giving things with 2 hands will suffice.

You've been together this long and they are making the trip to come and see you, I am sure in their minds you are already their son in law.

Good luck!
