Traveling to Korea soon and would like to take some gifts to a few Korean families that we will be staying with in the Seoul area. I am looking for gift ideas in the price range from $0 to $70 dollars.

We will also stay in a few hotels. Do you tip the maids in Korea?



Answer
You will love Korea. I spent about 3 years there. Now, I know this sounds weird or funky but a bottle of Johnny Walker or Crown - any semi-premium liquor. Koreans enjoy a drink or two from time to time but a pint of Jack over there is like 65 dollars. You can purchase it in the duty free shop before you board or even on the plane. Since you are not a Korean national you can bring like 2 or 3 bottles.

Tips are considered rude in Korea, but if you are near an American installation or base the Korean nationals will expect it from you.

Stay away from large groups in Yellow Shirts (they are demonstraters.)

And on everyday that ends in a 3 or 8 like the 8th,23rd and so on - they have markets through-out the streets - the shopping is amazing.


I don't think the other person knows - when were they last there? Cuz they would have seen Korean Air selling bottles in flight.

Is there an inexpensive way to send some small gifts to the Philippines?

I live in the US but some of our employees live in the Philippines, would like to send them small gifts for Christmas but heard it is very expensive to do so. How long would it take to get them


Answer
Go to any Oriental food store & ask about shipping boxes. This time of year it should only take about 4 weeks to reach The Philippines. I send a box that measures 20X20X20 for $65. No weight limit.
