What Do I Bring to Korean Host?
« on: October 19, 2011, 12:13:12 AM »
I've been invited to a Korean's home for dinner and will be meeting his wife. I don't know them very well, but the husband is one of the volunteer teachers where I take Korean lessons. What gift (if any) should I bring?  I think both are around 30 years old.

Some pastries or a simple cake from Paris Baguette would be fine.

C is for cookie, that's good enough for me.

Flowers (pot plant or cut flowers), fruit, pastries/cake.  You can only give alcohol to a man and I wouldn't recommend taking alcohol if you don't know him well.   I find that fruit or flowers is usually a safe choice depending on who I'm visiting.
