Introducing Daniel

In this video we introduce Daniel! They guys answer some very silly “Would you rather?” questions.

He will help Hugh out in some Ask Korean Guys video and will appear in some other videos. Han will still be in videos, don’t worry!

Cranky Pants

Cranky Pants

(For those that don’t speak English as a native language, “cranky pants” just means a person who is grumpy or irritable. It’s a funny way of saying it).

My residence cranky pants didn’t get any sleep at all because of the World Cup…

Start of Summer

Quick video we filmed while riding our bikes around. This time of the year is really nice. Everything is so green and nice and it’s not too hot yet.

Quick Delivery

Quick delivery

So we got the box of paints that we ordered just over 12 hours later…. impressive. We’ve mentioned before that Korea has a “bally bally” culture, which means “quickly quickly”. This is great for consumers, but I do sometimes worry about how much effort is put in to get things sent so quickly. Korea is a lot smaller than Australia though, so it does make it easier to send things. So many things are available for quick delivery. Home shopping is much bigger here as well. My mother-in-law orders a lot of things she sees on TV.

AKG – What did their friends think about them marrying a foreign woman?

This is a serious topic, so not exactly a light hearted video. In hindsight I realise how much more accepting my husband’s parents were than his friends. I was welcomed into the family right away but I realise now that some of his friends had reservations. I think people would usually think that it would be the other way around. We get a lot of questions about if the parents will accept, but less about friends. Of course parents have more power but also you can’t underestimate the power of friendships, especially because Koreans have such long and enduring friendships. There have definitely been break ups between Korean men and foreign women that were influenced by friends.

On a more light-hearted note, Han is wearing one of my sweaters for some reason in this video.
