a surprise upon my return home. Another neighbor (on a another street), a handsome couple, came by with this 'bento' box. Yum!
It was their young daughter's birthday, they said, and they had prepared some lunch. They wanted us to have this set. The cookies came in a cute loot bag.
This handsome couple have been here less than a year. They are quite young, modern, and are expecting a second child very very soon. We have not actually spent much time together, our daughters having played just a few times. The woman's own mother has been in and out from Korea, and she is actually who brought us all together. All without speaking English. Play is its own language, and serves to forge links, after all. And so does an exchange of food and treats! Maraming Salamat neighbors!
