I've been traveling through Asia, and one of the most fun gifts I've gotten from making friends with locals is when they give me snacks. Because as a foreigner, I'd simply never conceive of what snacks are good to buy. My favorite snack gift were these rolled cookies that have a shape that looks a little bit like pigs in a blanket, but they have pineapple jam inside. Oh my goodness, it was delicious! I pigged out on that. The other one that was so good was bakkwa jerky. The best part is that you pack these snacks in your luggage or backpack, and when you're traveling in the next country and it's late at night and you're starving and have nothing to eat, you just pig out on those snacks your friends gave you. It's a great, devious gift, because it definitely makes you think of them in your vulnerable, hungry moments!
