"dduk": glutinous sweet rice balls served on special occasions in Korea. They served them at the cafeteria lunch today, for no special occasion. I am now planning to buy quite a number of them to take to my school (the location of which I will hopefully know by the end of this afternoon) to share with my fellow teachers, in the hopes that we will begin with a good working relationship. Small gifts, especially things that can be eaten together as an act of community, are very important gestures here.In other news, my groups lesson plan presentation went very well! Both my classmates and the teacher had many compliments and no criticisms for us. I guess that means that we've learned something useful at this orientation.

Pretty pretty rice balls! I really like the idea of eating rice balls as a means of creating a community. They're so cute!
I'm going to go into a diabetic coma looking at that.
I can be extremely diabetic, and you can only be slightly diabetic.
YOU FUCKED JIMMY.
DIDN'T YOU.
I GUESS THAT MEANS YOU HATE PUPPIES.
p.s. there are stray kittens, and people selling infant kittens in the subways here. I MUST HARDEN MY HEART. I can not pet and/or own ALL OF THE KITTENS.
Also, I've been told that there are dog cafes / cat cafes where you can drink your coffee / eat your food, and all the while have dogs or cats wandering around the room and climbing on the tables for you to pet.
WANTZ. NEEDZ. MUST HAS (esp. if can not has own pet).
Also, @Jane, I love the idea too! Isn't eating cake together the best way you've ever heard of to create a friendly bond?!
No, it's not. Fuck cake. FROSTING, guys. Duh.
Fuck frosting. Frosting is dead to me.
