Tag: my korean husband (Page 44 of 127)
You may have noticed there have been less vlogs up lately. That has been because I’ve been sick and there really hasn’t been much to vlog about! It’s been cold and we’ve just been inside doing the same things. When it’s warmer I can go ride my bike or go for a walk and talk to the camera, but haven’t been able to do that lately. I am going to put some different types of videos up on the Nicholalala YouTube channel. For example, some people have wanted me to talk about different books I’ve read and stuff like that. So that channel is likely to evolve into more than just a vlogging channel. You may have noticed that both the vlogging channel and new webtoon series is called Nicholalala. That’s on purpose to create a name and brand that is different to our My Korean Husband brand so we can expand more and do stuff that doesn’t always fit under the MKH banner.
In the latest vlog we show you some buildings that were once a Confucian school over in a neighbouring village. It was cool to look through pottery pieces but I wish I knew more to identify them. Something I find frustrating in Korea, to do with heritage stuff, is that often the signs will give a really old date for a building but it was actually rebuilt recently so some buildings may not be that old at all. I find in Australia they are more explicit about what bit is old and what bit is rebuilt than in Korea and I feel like the laws to do with heritage are stricter in Australia. In Korea it can be disappointing to read a sign saying something is 500 years old and then in the footnote it’s like “rebuilt in 1970”. Well then it’s not old at all! When I go to a heritage site I want to touch the stone and wood touched by people centuries ago and know that I’m looking at what they looked at. Unfortunately Korea lost a lot of old buildings during the Japanese occupation. I think I’ve heard that actual history professors in Korea complain about the way heritage buildings are approached by the government in Korea, but not sure. Let me know if you know more about this.
New Ask Us video!
So apparently if a girl is acting silly or strange and she has a flower in her hair, Koreans will say things like, “Oh yeah, she has a flower in her hair, that’s why” because those type of strange girls are likely to put flowers in their hair. I’d never heard that until I came to Korea but apparently it’s from a few movies.
Also, I want to thank everyone for supporting me in the Line Webtoon Contest. Although I didn’t win anything, people seemed to like this new series so I will be continuing it on the webtoon publishing platform over there. I also still have the chance to be a featured Line Webtoon featured artist if I get enough support.
While movies often glamorize international relationships, in reality there are a lot of things to think about!
Also just wanted to clarify that when we say “the government doesn’t care if you are married” we meant that the government doesn’t give a crap about your love life and a marriage certificate is not a visa, nor does it guarantee a visa. However, actually being married can make obtaining a visa easier. We will expand on these topics in later videos.
I think I’ve mentioned it before, even though he is taller, my legs are longer. So we switched our new pj pants and he now wears the bright pink ones.
I really don’t like my feet and ankles getting cold when I sleep. Are you a cold feet person that needs long pjs and socks? Or are you the type that needs their feet naked and free all night?
Have you been watching The Asian Cup? It’s in Australia this time… but I’ve been too busy (and sick) to even think about it, but Mr Gwon has been enjoying it.
