To Omiyage or not to Omiyage, that is the question!

So I brought back omiyage from India to give to my new school and I ploitely suggested that they didn't have to eat it if they thought it didn't look appetising (as it's not wrapped in 50 trees to keep it clean) but By God had they no intentions of being polite about it anyway... so 4 teachers stood around pointing and laughing at my box of sweets and one took a taste and started shouting 'Mazui Mazui ' which means tastes terrible , ooh yuck! The nice sealed (expensive) chai tea that I bought for them in Duty Free also caused a stir, not only because the instructions were written in English and one knowledgable chap was unsucessfully convincing them that many people can speak English in India (so wished I knew the Japanese for 'official language' at that point) but this foreign tea also meant they'd have to drink it with milk. The ensuing heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy that followed this revelation still rings in my ears...

Well if you didn't laugh, you'd cry I tell ya!! Never any harm to seek revenge for all those times Anko and Mochi were forced upon me in various staffrooms along the way...
