Almost every morning last semester we would see a grandmother and granddaughter walking to the closest bus stop for the first leg of our walks to school. They are a very cute couple, about the same height, always holding hands as they walk down the street. We've had a few stunted "conversations", managing to convey where we lived, and thinking maybe we understood the word "kimchi".
At 7:45 AM the first day of the semester there was a knock on our door. The grandmother had come to deliver homemade kimchi (tied for first place for my favorite kimchi), two hard boiled eggs, and three boiled sweet potatoes. It was the sweetest gift. Now that we've finished the kimchi we're brainstorming foods to make and give back to her. Any suggestions are welcome!
