Am I supposed to give thank you notes....?

Today I had an influx of gifts. Yay. It's not the done thing at home but here it's practically expected.

So first is a lovely gift box from the mothers of one of my kindergarden classes.

The brown envelope on top is a gift card for Shinsegae to a generous sum.

The box contained an assortment of rice cakes.

Behold my lunch in the background. (Oh, and a fancy assortment of ricecakes)

Unfortunately I am leaving in two days and do not know the expiry of these confections. So I scooped up a handful and left the rest for my co-workers.

Then in the afternoon I received a nicely packaged bottle of wine!

 Obviously too good for the likes of me but I'll still drink some of it.
