Payday

Payday was last week, which is always nice. We got to talking to our coworkers about paycheck traditions in Korea vs. the US. We learned that in Korea when you receive your first paycheck it's tradition to go and buy your parents a present. We thought this was a nice tradition until we learned what you were supposed to buy them. When you get your first paycheck in Korea it's customary to buy each of your parents some underwear! When we asked why, they couldn't tell us....maybe it's just that nothing feels as nice as a fresh pair of underoos :)
