Popcorn

2014/04/24 / Nic / 24 Comments

We are resuming comics from today but we are not yet sure when we will start videos again.

He doesn’t like popcorn! Who doesn’t like popcorn?! I love popcorn but didn’t get it all the time in Australia because it’s ridiculously expensive at the cinema. It’s cheaper in Korea so I always want it. He hates it and gets dried squid instead. Popcorn is obviously not a high priority for him when we are rushing to go see a movie.

He has also become interested in fashion that is a bit “younger” than what his countryside friends wear which is why he was stopping to look at snapbacks. When he sees his friends here they comment that he still looks like a university student. Meanwhile his friends have settling into more middle aged style of clothing and have aged more due to heavy smoking and drinking.

Ask Korean Guys 13

While the guys find our interest in furniture weird, I find their lack of interest in furniture weird! There really aren’t that many furniture stores in Korea and they tend to have the same sort of style. Furniture is expensive as well. In comparison to Koreans, Australians are quite obsessed with furniture and organising it and what style a room is – and of course we love renovating. At the house here in Korea there isn’t even furniture to arrange. There is no sofa, no armchairs, no dining room table. The table we eat on is a small one that gets put away after every meal. It’s very different so I can see why my husband thinks it’s funny how much I look at furniture and express admiration for it and day dream about owning a certain piece of furniture.

Australian council pickup is something they were hesitant about at first but now really like it. Yes Han found a NEW computer on the street.

Sacheon Seafood Market

I’ve mentioned before that I do feel sorry for all the fish and sea creatures just waiting to be eaten. However, it is fascinating to see this part of Korean culture. Since Korea is a peninsula they have always had a lot of seafood in their diets and it is an important part of Korean food.

Those that know me well know my thoughts on octopus…. that trip and seeing how many octopuses were trying to escape just confirmed my theory that they will one day take over the world and when they do, I’m gonna be like “I didn’t eat you!”

Man Crush

2014/04/16 / Nic / 7 Comments

I had to change this comic. This happened yesterday morning and I was working on it earlier today. In the original comic I said how I had just had a terrible dream about being on a huge sinking ship. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a light sleeper and dream very vividly. I dreamed this yesterday morning right before I woke up. Like in the comic, my husband wasn’t paying attention because he was excited about Kpop star Henry getting Instagram. So I started making my comic for today and then checked the news and saw this news.

So I didn’t think it was appropriate to talk about a ship sinking in this comic that is supposed to be light hearted. It is a terrible thing that has happened and our prayers are with all those involved.

Jam

I feel bad for the rejected strawberries that just get made into jam! The good quality strawberries get packed nicely and shipped off to department stores.

It is coming to the end of strawberry season. It’s so warm now that we can’t send strawberries through the post like we did before. During colder months it is easy to send boxes of strawberries overnight to friends, but not now. We will still be growing strawberries for a little longer but they will all be jam strawberries. Anyone can pick jam strawberries as well because it doesn’t matter if they get crushed.
