World Cup

world cup

I’m realising how big the World Cup is in Korea. I naively thought that my husband would just watch games with Korea or games with Australia playing. I now realise that he tries to watch every single game he possibly can… and gets no sleep because of it. If he can’t watch it on TV or his laptop, he is watching from his phone. That’s why we haven’t filmed a Mr Gwon Time for this week yet.

So when I go out on the roof at 3am, it’s usually pretty quiet and peaceful. Not at the moment!

Are you enjoying the World Cup? Who are you supporting?

Our 90’s Music Experience – Korea vs Australia

We talk about what it was like to be a hardcore fan in the 90’s. How is it different from today? What differences were there between Korea and Australia?

If you want to play along you can answer the questions too.

QUESTIONS:
Who was your favourite band/group in the 90’s?
Who was your favourite member?
How did you get your music information?
How did you see new music videos?
Did you buy magazines just for posters?
Did you make mix tapes?
What did you use the internet for back then?

Mosquito Bites

 

 

Mosquito Bites

 

(Quick comic again, busy with book stuff).

Mosquitoes don’t like me very much! They love my husband though and he will get a lot of bites. I’ve watched mosquitoes come near me before and they’ll hover above my skin for a few seconds and then often they’ll just fly away and move onto someone better tasting.

The things with the spoon

the things with the spoon

The day we both forgot the word “chopsticks”. My whole life I’ve been setting the table with “knives and forks” so that’s my excuse! Even though in recent years I use chopsticks more than knives and forks, it’s still ingrained in me that that’s how you set the table.

Koreans tend to use metal chopsticks and a spoon, so setting the table involves setting out the chopsticks with a spoon for each person.
