Hopefully people realise that was a very sarcastic video… haha. The funny thing is, all those shots of me messing around while waiting for a car to go by are real. No cars came for quite a while so I really was occupying myself while waiting for a car.

We wanted to show how boring it can be out here – even though we love it and get to experience things that city people don’t. I was also mimicking the way foreigners are sometimes used in advertising in Korea. I hope you enjoyed the awkwardness!

We show some actual stuff to do in the countryside in the newest vlog here:

Also, Wednesday video may be up on Thursday instead due to the large amount of editing required. I will try to vlog tomorrow though.

I’ve heard other people comment on how wild the cats are in Korea. There are lots of stray cats in Australia (actually it’s a really big problem because they kill native wildlife, but lets not get into that right now) but I feel like Australian stray cats are a bit friendlier. Australia has some huge scary feral cats out in the bush but strays around towns aren’t usually too scared of people. Stray cats in Korea are terrified of people. My husband keeps telling, “That’s how they survive” but sometimes I just want to watch them and as soon as they see me they run! These are ones living right outside the house. My mother-in-law puts food scraps out for them and they run even when they see her.

I just want to watch you play kitties!!! I’ll have to do it secretly from the roof again.

It was like Christmas! Seriously, the last time I got a new bike was a Christmas a very long time ago. I was really reluctant to go downstairs at first because my husband hadn’t told me why. Often when I’m called downstairs it’s because someone in the village wants to meet me. Sometimes it is properly meeting – there was one nice guy who wanted so speak English with me – but sometimes it feels more like they have just come to stare at the white person. Sometimes I’m in a happy mood to deal with that, other times I’m feeling a bit more introverted. I thought it was a situation like that, where someone wants to see me because they have rarely ever seen a white person and I was worried how I looked. My mood changed instantly when I saw the pink bike!

My mother-in-law felt bad for me that I’m working in our room most of the time. I really like long walks but my husband doesn’t and it’s not a good idea for me to wander off alone around here. But now I have a bike to ride around the village! The neighbours joked that I’ll run away now that I’ll have a bike because they saw me racing up and down the road on it.
