teacher's day

the food at the boss' house and (below) the bus driver and one of the korean preschool teachers.

according to my korean sources, some schools in korea actually shut down for Teacher's Day because Korean parents were giving such outlandishly large gifts to the teachers. i don't see why that's a bad thing. but, our school didn't shut down. too bad.
i had high hopes to get lots of exciting things. i got socks, fried chicken, a potted flower, chocolate, and cough drops. and, a couple of notes in suspiciously accurate english that said things like, "Laura Teacher, I like you SO MUCH!".
then, our boss had all the teachers over to his house where we ate pizza and chicken and chinese food and multiple other foods that aren't typically served at the same time. but, i wasn't complaining.
