May 15th was Teacher’s Day (스승의 날). In Korea, it is common for students to give teachers presents on this holiday. I received one cake, one cheesecake, two watermelons, handmade cookies, facial mist, carnations, special writing pens, perfume, an umbrella, a decorative pin, body lotion, hand lotion, chocolate, and some other nick-nacks.
May is a month for families in Korea (with Parents’ Day and Children’s Day). I think it shows that a community raises a child. Still, it can be an overwhelming month of holidays in Korea. I’m looking forward to things slowing down for a bit.

Hi, I'm Stacy. I am from Portland, Oregon, USA, and am currently living and teaching ESL in Cheonan, South Korea. Busy getting into lots of adventures, challenging myself, and loving people. Something more than an ethereal will-o-wisp.
Thank you so much for visiting and reading.
