Hugh and Joel play Google Guess where they try to guess how Google will autofill these sentences to do with things either British or Korean. Joel is one of Hugh’s best friends and is also often seen on the very famous YouTube channel ‘Korean Englishman’. Usually when he is visiting he is out with Hugh constantly (I’m always a third wheel), but I managed to get them to sit down to play with game.

Hugh has started a project with his personal trainer where not only is he going to get into shape but he has a bunch of goals he also needs to achieve.
He will be vlogging his journey of transforming his body and his life. Please encourage him. Also for those more comfortable with watching videos in Korea: check out his trainer Yoojin’s channel here.
This video is in a kind of podcast style where we talk about a topic and our experiences. In this episode we talk about heatbreak and hopefully have some advice for our younger viewers.
We go through phases where sometimes I get up earlier and then other times he is getting up earlier every day. Whoever gets up first has usually checked the news first. The news has been horrifying lately but today’s news was slightly less horrifying, but still the continuation of horrifying-ness. Congratulations to Beyonce for being pregnant with Twins.
As an international/interracial/
We were shocked when Trump won and the past week seems to be a non-stop show of horror, heartbreak and history repeating. Another element has been coming in contact with those so deeply entrenched in their own bubble of American right-wing media. I honestly didn’t think those types of people followed us but there is a small percentage of our followers that are like that. I also think a lot of people are repeating what their parents and community is saying without looking at international media or understanding how to evaluate how media is presenting information. It was very bizarre to be accused of only listening to “liberal left American media” when we don’t even live in the US (also we are neither Democrat or Republican and The Liberal party in Australia is the conservative party. ‘Liberal; doesn’t always have the same meaning around the world. You can’t put us in a box like that). We read and watch a range of media as an international couple should. We are looking at Australian news, British news, English Korean news, American news, Korean news in Korea etc and always trying to look at a range of opinions. Maybe people don’t want us to voice any political opinions, but now more than ever we feel it’s necessary.
Seeing the heartbreak so many families are now facing because of the US government it makes us reflect on how easily this can happen to us an international couple. Having a legal visa is losing meaning and makes us wonder about how easily Hugh and I could be separated in the future even when we have legal visas.
They will be back up soon.
