Below are the gifts she brought: Korea's version of Starburst candy, a beautious business card holder and rice crackers! So asian-tastic, I love it all!!!
Can I tell you what we gave her? Company wearables. Or as we call it, 'trinkets and trash'. Not exactly our best gift, or gesture of being hospitable. Now, we did bring in breakfast for our morning staff meeting...and we did bring her out to lunch. Does that count? Usually we like to get gifts that are true to Michigan -- Pewabic pottery, Michigan wine, Sanders chocolate, etc. But since Linda is originally from Michigan we didn't think our gift would fit. I'm thinking we're regretting our decision. Because let's be clear, we totally got the better end of the bargain with the gifts she brought us!
I don't know what it is about our global counterparts, but they bring the best gifts. I just hope that we don't totally offend them with our 'hospitality'!
I'm lobbying for a trip to visit her in Seoul. My guess is not so much. But here's to hoping!
