Gift of the Foreigner

I met my two oldest Korean friends last Saturday night for farewell pizza and beer.

One of them, one of my best friends in the world, predictably did the Korean thing and gave me a huge paper bag filled with two boxes of instant noodles and instant porridge (juk, for my elderly dad).

My plan remains to go home in two weeks with one big suitcase and one big-ish carry-on backpack.  Don't tell him I've got no room for foodstuffs.

Anyhow, if anything my re-gifting game has only grown stronger during my time in South Korea.  I'm thinking my office building's cleaning ladies are in for a minor treat.
