(or yet another concentrated marketing day in korea)
white day is exactly one month after valentines day. guys are supposed to give candy to the women who gave them chocolate on valentines. rumour has it that this was all started by a marshmallow company in the '60's... "marshmallow day" became white day sometime since then. sorry this is so vague... but it's not easy to get info on these things...
the kids were all hopped up on sugar all day, girls were crying left and right, and i got offerred some candy from other teachers - without knowing why for half the day... why doesn't anyone tell me these things??? anyway, it was a good day overall... met some new classes (finally met all of them!) and took a nice walk at lunch. i'm off to have a beer with the waegooks at B'n'G... haven't been out in what feels like forever!
anyway, happy white day!
