 |
|
So I am pretty anxious at the moment...first child is on the way...err..is 4 days late...but I was wondering if there are any Korean cultural gestures made by fathers to their friends and family with regards to a new baby... that is when the boy decides to come.... 
...should I pass around cigars?....soju?...spam sets?...what, if any, is a good gesture on my part with the Korean family and friends? Any ideas greatly appreciated....
cheers,
Hobo |

| Well, you should ask your wife. She knows her family far better than we do. If you throw a little party, get a couple of bottles of whiskey if you know some of them drink. |

I was thinking of having some Crown Royal and a Western style dinner... I have them hooked on mashed potatoes and dill pickles now...and indeed they do enjoy drinking...thanx...
I am just curious if there is a Korean custom...my wife just says drink soju with them all...that is a regular occurance...so I was thinking of something a bit more...well...less ordinary.... |

| Don't you have to throw go-choo over the roof or something? |

Listen to your wife. The western style dinner might not be a good idea. I prepared a huge Christmas the first year I was married (turkey, apple pie, etc). I would have never guessed it would have turned out so good...but my in-laws didn't care for it. If you want to prepare a meal/party for them, get some liquor and cook up some samgkyup-sal. |

| I think sending a condom or birth control pills would be pretty hilarious. |
