Intercultural Life
Well…. I guess it would take me longer to open stuff? Haha. Sometimes I get him to open stuff for me because it’s usually quicker but many times he can’t wait to grab whatever it is from me and open it and proclaim, “How can you live without me?”
Let’s not mention all the times I make dinner alone while he is at work. Shhhh!
This is our video of our Supanova experience! We didn’t have much time as my husband had to work that night and my brother was only in Sydney for the day. It was really crowded inside, even more so because people couldn’t hang around outside as much due to the rain. I’d really like to see it in a bigger venue next year (though we are unlikely to go as we’ll be in Korea).
We really liked seeing the Game of Thrones costumes. My other favourite was the Futurama ones. It’s always cool seeing the effort people go to.
It would be nice to see more areas for people to sit and talk to others. People are forced to sit on cold cement up on the second level walkway. Also an area for children is needed as well I think, there seems to be more children every year and it would make it easier for them and their parents if they were catered for too.
Overall it’s still a really cool experience and we enjoyed it, even though we were functioning on only 4 hours sleep.
He would never throw anything at me ever… but he did giggle to himself after he made that joke.
He wanted the wig for a skit or something… I don’t know… something we haven’t even planned yet. But I threw it out a while ago because we don’t have much space here. It was just a cheap free one. Some people have asked what we’d like them to send us in a package, well that’s something you can send to him! A crappy wig… haha.
Some people can have this idea that if you have a Korean boyfriend or husband that it will be non-stop listening to Kpop. Yeah…. probably not. Often he likes to listen to music I’d rather never hear again. We did compromise this time though, he listened to old Korean pop music instead.
I was laughing mostly because “dumblings” sounds funny!
I’m back studying Korean again, well revising everything that I know (not much!), in preparation for when we move to Korea. We’ve decided once in Korea it’s vital for me to learn as much Korean as possible so Korean will be the language we’ll use the most when there. It will be hard, but worth it.
Hehe…. dumblings….
Another cooking video! We didn’t show the recipe exactly because there are lots of recipes online and they are all pretty similar. We wanted to show the extra things you can put into tteokbokki which can make it even better.
By the way, it wasn’t three of us eating all that tteokbokki! There were many people eating it, we just didn’t show them.
It can be interesting observing the Korean hierarchy sometimes. You’ll notice in the video I pointed out how my husband acts in relation to his sister sometimes. She is only one year younger than him but it can make all the difference. Of course she has to call him “oppa” but also, she can’t really be on equal terms with him. It’s very different to the relationships I have with my siblings where age doesn’t make much difference. My sister-in-law however, will listen patiently to lectures from my husband and will be respectful to him even when he does annoying things like take her food. My siblings wouldn’t put up with me doing that.
My husband was the eldest Korean in the house while we were there. Typhoon (who you have seen before and get a glimpse of his tattooed leg in the video) learnt the slang phrase “top dog” from some Australian friends and felt that was the best way to describe in English what my husband’s position in the household was in regards to them. So before we arrived he was talking about the “top dog” coming back.
Anyway, back to the food! It was really good! It was a combined effort. Adele was behind the camera but also giving some directions of what to put in. I really liked the cheese version as well. If you have trouble eating really spicy food it’s a good way of eating tteokbokki without it being too spicy. The cheese really takes away the edge and melted cheese is always delicious.
He always has the music going while he is in the shower and I can usually hear him singing. Probably not a good idea to continue the singing while shaving his face though…
EDIT: Usually I check with my husband before I upload comics but he was at the gym when I drew this one and I uploaded it right away. I was slightly concerned that he wouldn’t like it because it’s showing him doing something stupid. He just came home and saw it and said it was wrong… not the cutting himself while shaving because he was singing… but because he is wearing clothes in it! He says he was naked when this happened. But I get a bit sick of drawing him naked.
