life in seoul – My Korean Husband

Korean Balcony Transformation: Kid Playground! Pandemic Playground!

Nic — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 05:27:08 +0000

Our first big project in our new place!

I’m starting to come around to the idea of these types of balconies… I wasn’t much of a fan in the beginning, but as it’s monsoon season in Korea at the moment, I can see the benefits. Originally I desperately wanted real outside space and a lot of the time I had seen these enclosed balconies just become storage areas and they seemed a bit pointless. But giving the space a real purpose makes all the difference.

Of course our priority in our life is our two-year-old son, so I knew early on that this would become a play area for him. I wanted to make him a mini backyard with the things I enjoyed when I was a child: a sandpit, swimming pool and a slide.

While this pandemic goes on it’s important to have areas inside for kids to play in. While Korea has not had a lockdown and things are okay at the moment, we don’t know what the future will bring.

In our video we explain our thinking and process and show you as we get all the stuff and set it up! And of course we surprise our son!

SEOUL LIFE EPISODE 6

Nic — Mon, 18 Jul 2016 06:19:39 +0000

We didn’t have time to sit down and film and talk as much as we usually do for ‘Seoul Life’ because my mum is here for 2 weeks and my brother and his girlfriend were here for a few days. This video is a bit more random. Hugh tries to play Pokemon Go, I find a cheese shop, we go to a restaurant called Pork University and spend time with family. And we find a random Ferrari.

Seoul Life: Episode 1

Nic — Mon, 13 Jun 2016 06:40:22 +0000

Our new video series! We’ll be making a Seoul Life video every week and we’ll talk about how we are adjusting to Seoul, show some footage we have filmed and answer some questions. In this video we talk about dirty apartments and ghosts, show you the Han river, answer some questions and show you the chaos of moving into an apartment and not having essential appliances yet.
