  1. My first visit to see my relatives in Korea, I got a bunch of cash + necklace. And, I ended up spending 10x the amount when my cousins visited years later and I was the tour guide. (net loser on the deal, lol) I can see how it can get excessive though. Weddings aren't like US weddings. Average people weddings are like fast food. It's in a wedding hall. It lasts maybe 15-20 minutes. And, then you eat at the same wedding hall WITH OTHER WEDDING PARTIES.

  2. Oh yeah, forgot about my friend's wedding. We all lived in California, but the wedding was in Maui, Hawaii. lol, we had to spend a lot of money to get there AND give a gift.
