Googling Yourself

Actually he was on Naver…. so that’s navering??? I think he said in Korean they say something more like, “Ask Naver.”

He does check to see where our stuff does show up. Some people talk about us on blogs. Some positive, some dumb comments of course… it’s the internet. Because this blog is all in English he does keep an eye on what is said in Korean or what gets translated. We do get a lot of Korean visitors interested but don’t have the English skills to understand the comics. When the comic book is released in Korea next year they’ll be able to read them though.

Actually it reminds me of the ‘lik dis if you cry everytim’ meme, except I didn’t die after he said no.

Haircut

Yup, I went and got the scissors and then turn around and he had already stripped for his haircut….what? I’m only cutting the hair on his head!

I have trimmed his hair before and it was fine but this time…. it wasn’t fine! It was bad! Our schedules are so messed up that he doesn’t have much time to go to a hair salon so he wanted me to cut it. Wrong choice.

Flick

What is it with Koreans and forehead flicking? They seem to love to use it as a form of punishment in games too. They actually seem to love punishing people more than Australians do. When we were at my parents’ house and were good friends with the Korean guys next door (my parents’ rent out a house to Koreans on working holiday visas) I taught them lots of pool games. Korea doesn’t have a big swimming culture like Australia does, they had never played pool games, so I taught them how to play games like Marco Polo. They weren’t satisfied when someone failed in the game, like didn’t manage to catch anyone, was “fish out of water” or was caught early so they would punish them – like hardcore splashing or dunking them. I was always like, “You don’t need to violently punish someone like that!” and they’d say, “Yes we do!”

So yes, I’ve seen the forehead flicking used a lot as punishment as well. My husband wasn’t doing it hard this time, he was just doing it to be annoying.
