Alwyn and I made out with a swag of Pepero sticks yesterday - an excellent day for any chocolate lover or stockholder in Lotte. Judging by the amount of Pepero that was flying around our school yesterday, a LOT of chocolate/biscuit sticks were sold throughout Korea yesterday. It was quite interesting to experience such a frivolous commercial holiday on one of the most solemn days on the Australian/Western calander, Rememberence Day. In a way, that speaks volumes on the whole Korea experience.

Yesterday was also an open day for prospective parents who may be placing their little ones into next years Kindergarten classes. It was a pretty cruisy day - the kids were shipped off to a near-by amusement centre and all the foreign teachers had to do has stand near the elevator and greet the parents as they arrived, being a token is fun you should all try it sometime.
