Weird start to the day...

To celebrate Chuseok and to make my school love me even more, I brought some cookies to school this morning. Plans to bake a banana bread were waylaid by sheer laziness, but I think they enjoyed the store-bought delights.

Actually, if you've ever seen a group of older women around a box of cookies, you can pretty much imagine how quickly they all disappeared.

While we were stuffing ourselves with Danish butter cookies, the principal came in with a plastic thing that looked a bit like an octopus. It was one of those hand-held massage things... Anyway, he proceeded to talk on and on about it (like 10 minutes!), while we all stared in rapt attention.... then tried it out on each other. Another massager thing came out - and this one vibrates (!!) when you press on the handle, which is, um, surprising.

It was a great way to start the morning... and a good indication that I'm not entirely jaded by Korea yet.
