Not sure why he thinks listening to comedy is a good thing to try and fall asleep to. He listens to something called ‘Cul2’ and it makes him laugh hysterically. But you know when you can’t hear what someone is laughing at, only the laughing, and it makes them sound like a maniac? Even worse is that he always sleeps with a cotton blanket over his head, so it’s just this weird mound laughing loudly.

I was asked if there was any food from my country that I dislike, but my husband likes, and if there any Korean food that I like but he dislikes.
First up, let’s talk about Korean food. The answer is:
EVERYTHING! I’m much more picky about Korean food. I eat most of it but there are still things I won’t eat, like intestines, and I can be picky about how I eat things with bones. His mother makes amazing fried chicken but she knows I don’t like eating chicken right off the bones, so she’ll make sure I get all the boneless or near boneless bits. It’s really sweet, she puts all the good pieces directly on my plate.
So what about Australian/Western food? What does he like that I dislike? The major thing I can think of is steak.
I’m not a big meat eater (and slip in and out of vegetarianism) and prefer my portion of meat to be small with lots of vegetables. What I love about Korean food is the smaller and thinner meat portions and the way it’s integrated into the food, instead of just a slab of meat as in a lot of Australian cooking.
However, because Koreans in general are used to smaller portions of meat in Korea, they can get quite excited about the large and cheap cuts of meat in Australia. Australia has a big meat industry and has the space to pasture feed livestock. So my husband really enjoys a big steak but I cannot eat that much meat at once. And it’s pretty boring to me.
I have been disappointed a few times before, when invited to dinner by other Koreans who are living in Australia because I’ve expected to eat Korean food. Instead dinner will be just big chunks of meat barbequed or fried. While they think it’s great to be able to eat this much meat at once, for me, because I’ve grown up with Australian barbeques and an excess of meat, it’s not that great. I’d much prefer to be eating a variety of Korean dishes and have the meat much more marinated or seasoned and with vegetables. But I understand why they focus on the meat when in Australia.
In order to answer this question I was going through some of my favourite Korean foods/drinks to see if my husband dislikes any of them.
Me: “Banana Milk!”
Him: “Everyone likes that!”
Me: “The potato pancake your mother makes?”
Him: “Everyone likes that!”
And it went on…. I just like the popular food and he likes everything anyway.
Some days I think my husband doesn’t believe in clothes. He is incredibly lazy when at home and doesn’t see the point of wearing anything unless he is definitely leaving the apartment. So this wasn’t in the morning as he got dressed, this was while I was putting on makeup in the afternoon because I had to go out. It was lovely that he serenaded me with a Frank Sinatra song, it’s just that it was while he was only wearing old underwear! I’m not complaining, but I did have to laugh at his spontaneous underwear singing.

Okay, so the Lee Min Ho Towel giveaway. I announced the winner a while ago and didn’t hear from them. I tried emailing them, but haven’t heard anything. So I had to pick another winner. I still had the box with the names, so pulled out another name:
Congratulations CYah!
This is a new section where once a week my husband (Mr Gwon) will recommend a Korean music video, usually an older one.
This week he recommends Jo Sung Mo “To Heaven”.
He says:
I think it was when I was… middle school student. There are many other music videos but this music video was different from other music videos. This music video has story, it’s really cool. We copy the music video and when the killer tried to hide from police and kiss to woman we do it in the school – to other guys – not girls, it was funny, because it was so cool. Every time we went to karaoke everyone wanted to sing that song. The guy is sad that he lost his girl but he is going to see the lady in the heaven so it’s quite sad but one day they will be together. After this song people use the name for PC Bang, karaoke and hotel- “To Heaven” or “투헤븐”. This song make people cry to remember ex girlfriend or boyfriend.
Instead of getting him to write something out I just type exactly what he says about it.
Also, you can probably see that I drew a certain meme in the picture too. Every week there will be something new in the picture.
Oh gamers and your bad language…
When learning another language you usually end up learning the bad words first (or even if you don’t want to, it’s what people teach you) and for some reason they stick in your head. So when we went to a Korean internet cafe yesterday, I realised I knew what everyone was saying because it was all just swear words!
There are a few internet cafes in Sydney that are exactly like the ones in Korea. They are full of Korean guys gaming. The employee had to check that one guy was still alive at the one we went to yesterday. This guy was slumped over in his chair and didn’t move when the employee shock him. He did eventually wake up, but there was that moment where we were like, “Is he dead?” I think he’d been gaming all day and night.
We have internet at home of course but my husband will download the dramas, movies and TV shows he likes to watch from an internet cafe.
‘Sticky Love’ sure changes the meaning! One of his favourite songs at the moment in Birdy’s version of Skinny Love. He accidentally calls it that ‘Sticky Love’ all the time.
