Australian native cockroaches are the nice ones! They don’t come into houses. It’s the European and American ones that are the dirty evil ones. Unfortunately those pest ones are in Australia and love our warm climate. You’ll sometimes find cockroaches even in super clean homes in Australia unfortunately.

My husband hates cockroaches even more than the average person. I know a few other Australian women married to Korean men as well and their husbands are terrified too. We always have to be the ones getting rid of insects and bugs. Maybe it’s because we grew up in Australia and are just used to creepy-crawlies… but doesn’t matter how macho our husbands think they are… we are the ones dealings with this stuff.

The other night my husband and a friend were watching cockroach videos on YouTube. I guess they like to terrify themselves. I managed to sneakily film some of their very extreme reactions and maybe we’ll show you sometime. Actually that’s why I wanted to see if we could see a native cockroach up close, because they can be quite big, and I think Mr Gwon’s reaction might be YouTube worthy haha.
