DH and I often have to remind ourselves that things that are ubiquitous here in Seoul (everyone has the same spirit sticks, masks, and celadon tea sets) will not be ubiquitous when we get to our next home. If/when the teacher moves home (or, as so many expat teachers at international schools do, on to another school in another country), she'll have not only a lovely memento of the class, but also a lovely memento of Russia. I collect Christmas ornaments and over the years have been given a number of them by students - some handmade, others picked with obvious thought and care. I always write the name of the student and the year on the bottom/back of the ornament, and years later, I hang them with wonderful memories of the students who gave them to me 'way back when.' <br />Two thumbs up for a well-chosen gift.MsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623997911568143459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-88281580224494428132012-05-28T12:44:44.541+01:002012-05-28T12:44:44.541+01:00local culture vultures?!local culture vultures?!Andrea https://www.blogger.com/profile/00730557217264985056noreply@blogger.com
