We’ve been meaning to show some videos of the meet up in Seoul for a while but never had time to edit anything together.
Hello to everyone we met!

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.
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.
The other day Mr Gwon was using super glue and it still ended up on my fingers! Some dripped out onto the chair and I put my fingers right where it was. Worst feeling.
Have you ever had a bad situation with super glue?
If you want something we said in the video explained in more detail, just ask! We had to cut a lot out otherwise the video would have been over an hour long.
Thanks husband!
I remember being a teenager and having a very flat stomach and older women telling me, “Enjoy it while it lasts”. I remember thinking, “Pshh I’ll always have a flat belly.”
Then I hit my 20’s and yeah… it doesn’t stick around, especially if you hate the gym like I do. Since I got married I’ve put on weight- I think that happens to most people. Now I’m on the verge of my 30’s and half the time I’m hoping I am just pregnant and it’s not just fat… hehehe. Actually none of my jeans fit now and I don’t have money for new clothes…so maybe I should do something about it.
We went to the Korean Cultural Office in Sydney tonight for one of their events: pARTy on the Park. There was a band preforming that is made up of only Korean Australians. They formed this year (created by Kpop Star Australia and Vocal and Dance Entertainment Academy) and for this event they played only Korean music. 
Mr Gwon has done a mini review:
K-note played some Korean music that was older songs and some newer songs as well. The lead vocalist and the band leader have really good voices. But the lead singer did most of the talking and no one else talked really… all other band members were quiet!
I liked that they played an EVE song. When I was in Korea and went to karaoke I sang that song all the time. It’s one of my favourite songs so I sang that song when K-note were singing. I think I was of the only one singing along to that one.
They did CNBLUE’s I’m a loner. That’s a good song so I sung along (and my wife loves CNBLUE). I also enjoyed YB “Butterfly” and a Yim Jae-beom “If this night passes”. It wasn’t really a concert, it was just a small event and they didn’t do that many songs. I wanted them to keep playing more songs. There was a good mix of songs, some older songs but also newer ones like Big Bang’s “Monster”. The lead singer also did rapping in songs that had rapping in them and did it really well.
It’s good for me that even though I’m not in Korea right now I can still go and see Korean songs being performed.
The lead singer did a really good job and has a really good voice and tried to get the crowd involved. I think the event needed a better atmosphere and feeling though, somewhere where people can just move and dance. I think some people just go for the free alcohol (haha) but I think the band deserved more attention. I really enjoyed K-note’s performance.

I am really glad there are a lot of Korean stuff around for my husband to go to. He definitely appreciated the music played at this event. The Korean Cultural Office has a movie night on Thursdays as well which is a great way to check out some Korean movies that you might not usually get the chance to see.
