The opposite of Valentines’ Day in Korea, White Day is when boys give gifts to their girlfriends. MyeongHee and I went out and chowed on some tasty seafood last night. The spread before her is typical of most Korean restaurants – one main dish with a couple of million side dishes. That’s a lot of food! We barely put a dent in the Hae Mul Jim, the main course of seafood and veggies.

The day at school was a lot of fun, too. As a male teacher, it’s proper for me to give out candy for White Day to the girls at school, but in the interest of fairness, give it out to all of the kids. I bought a couple of large bags of hard candy and doled it out to each class. Then I spent time teasing the boys about how many girlfriends they have and whether or not they had already kissed them (Ewwww, teacher, NO!)
