Me and my son are going strawberry picking this weekend with his friend. I remember the first time I was offered to try the Korean strawberry and I really refused thinking that it would be one big blob of sourness like the ones I’ve tasted before. AM so glad they forced me to try it. 😀 I’ll try that tip this Sunday and see if we can still find decent strawberries even though I think it’s almost already late into the season.

It’s such a fun thing to do with kids! I wonder if I could modify it so it didn’t look rude haha.

Also on the gesturing video, yes we sometimes forget that in other countries their culture is so differen to ours and what we see as ok and not offensive can be very offensive to them. I’d be getting told off for the “I got your nose” gesture a lot, I can’t resist it with little kids. My daughter used to love it. (Pretend you got her nose and then when she asks for it back, pretend to put it back on upsidedown).

Love the comics, love the videos and it is really interesting to hear about your life and the differences you come across.

That’s right. We will have strawberries all year around in Australia and they transport well but they are so tasteless.
