I am running way behind on Blog posts, but I had these pictures from back before we went to Seoul. The whole reason we had off to go to Seoul was for the Solar New year ( which also happened to fall on Valentines day!) The Koreans all give extravagant gifts for this holiday (as it is much like the Lunar New Year) Our Boss Grace gave us these cool gift sets.
For Me, since all women cook in korea, (ahem) I got a set of cooking oil as well as seaweed.... Not sure what to do with the seaweed as we are not big consumers of it, but she was very thoughtful to pick out something not so spicy so we could try to enjoy it! The cooking oil I will totally use!
The two big boxes on the sides contained big packages of flat seaweed. Four in each so 8 total...
For the men, they typically give beauty products.... I guess they saw how pretty Joseph is, and decided he can't get that way just naturally ( she gave Manager Daniel the same gift pack!)
It came with two lotions (which I use) face cream ( which I use), Happy time body lather (which I use) Chapstick ( which I use) Soap ( We do share that) and korean toothpaste ( which Joseph claimed as his own, and I can only "borrow" if I run out of colgate!) So I cleaned up pretty well! (har har har)
She also very kindly gave us quite a bit of cash, which was very handy for our trip to Seoul (basically enough to cover our bus fare for both of us, to and from Seoul, with some extra).... So, needless to say, we had a very wonderful Solar New Year... and will be quite sad not to have three days off work when we get back to the states next year!
Only slightly sad we didn't get a spam gift set! ( we see those all over the place) Maybe on the next holiday.
