Intercultural Life

Month: January 2014 (Page 3 of 5)

Bread

Hey everyone we have landed in Korea! We got to my husband’s parents’ house last night. Since we are quite tired from travelling, Sophie made me a comic for today! Most of you would have seen Sophie and her husband Han feature in some comics and videos before.

Bread

So some Koreans really adapt to an international diet when they move to a foreign country.

Not my husband.

Han wont eat more than one of what he describes as ‘bread’ in a day (sometimes in a month!) and if cake is bread, you might be wondering what else is bread. I asked Han for a few examples, he told me the following are all bread:
Donuts, pancakes, croissants, cereal, cake, biscuits, pizza, pasta, ..and the list goes on and on..

Anyway, Han looked after our little Alice for HOURS so I could draw this and at times got photoshop rage and wacom rage, haha, I don’t know how you do it every day, Nic!

Han, Alice and I want to wish you all the best on the beginning of your big Korean adventure and hope you have a good day off today (since I have made this comic for you!)

You can follow Han on Instagram HERE.

Mr Gwon also got an Instagram recently too. Follow him HERE.

Folding Up

Rachael wasn’t ready when he yanked it like that.

If you aren’t sure who Rachael is, we’ve interviewed her before:

Big thank you to everyone who came to the meet up! Was so nice to see everyone.

There may not be as many comics this week because we are very busy preparing for our move to Korea. We are also filming as much stuff as we can, like the Ask Korean Guys videos because we won’t be able to see Han and Sophie for several months.

Dubbo Tourist Attractions

Here is a short video about when Han and Sophie (and baby Alice) visited us and we went to some of my home town’s tourist attractions. We have been staying with my parents for a few weeks before we move to Korea.

New Haircut

New haircut

He gets really shy about compliments because I don’t think he has actually received that many in his life. He was never the handsome guy so it’s strange for him that people now compliment him. He doesn’t really fit into the  general Korean girls’ standard of beauty so when international people say something like, “You look like this actor” or “You look like this Kpop star” he gets embarrassed and says he hopes Korean girls don’t see those comments because he dreads to see their reactions.

For example, last night he was playing poker with my brother and some Korean girls and I walked in and affectionately called him a “handsome boy” because I like his new haircut. A Korean girl there immediately reacted with such disdain, “Handsome boy???” He then pointed out that his wife is allowed to call him a handsome boy regardless of what anyone else thinks!

Two Towels

2 towels

Hopefully you have seen this comic and know what my husband was trying to do and why he didn’t bring a towel. This time my brother and I were swimming and I didn’t think my husband was getting in the pool, so I didn’t make sure he had a towel. He joined us later and was still planning on using my towel! Luckily my brother knew what he was trying to do!
