Intercultural Life
You might be wondering why the comic book is not published yet.

I stressed in the video that it’s a book in Korean for the Korean audience because I don’t want people to be disappointed about it not being in English. If you don’t know Korean you still can read the book because there will be English subtitles next to comics, but it’s not set up for English speakers. Many of the comics are ones that have already been on the blog too.
I think for most of their adult life Mr Gwon’s sister has had more money than him. She was always working in Korea while he travelled around Asia and Australia. Right now she is in Australia, but working hard. She comes back soon though, so I think Mr Gwon is envisioning many presents and things bought for him when she moves back. Luckily for him she is a very nice sister.
Video round up! We are trying to get stuff done early this week because we will have EBS filming us from Tuesday to Saturday and will be going to Seoul on Thursday.

Our most recent vlog:
New video on our bonus channel:
There are a few reasons why we are living with Hugh’s parents. One reason is that they are getting older and Hugh probably won’t ever have this type of time with them again, so making the most of it. Another reason is that it is of course cheaper for us to live with them. Hugh could go get a job and work hard and we could have a nice apartment and car, but he wouldn’t be able to do any blogging or edit videos or have much time for me. So we are making those sacrifices so we can get the website and business ideas off the ground, as well as cherishing our time together. We would pretty much have to stop YouTube if he was to get a normal Korean job.
Mostly it’s fine living with his parents. They let us do our own thing, but of course it is hard to have privacy. Not only that, but his parents are an older generation and in the countryside. They never show any affection for each other in front of others, so Hugh can be self conscious about even a quick peck if his parents are around – which is most of the time!
In this Ask Us video we talk about games and living with my family in Australia.
The past 2 morning have been so noisy! We go to bed really late so we need that sleep in the morning but sometimes it’s so interrupted. Announcements in the village are done over loudspeakers and it drives me crazy. In the drama ‘Modern Farmer’ they get the village announcements on their phones and someone said “Oh no one uses the loudspeakers anymore in the countryside!” No… they still do it here! There were several announcements yesterday in the morning and also this morning. Not only the announcements this morning but a big fertilizer truck came with bags of fertilizer that villagers needed to come collect. Because our house is near the village community centre and our window faces it, our sleep was severely interrupted by hours of a thudding sound of fertilizer being unloaded.
We only had a few hours sleep and then had 2 TV producers/writers come from Seoul to meet with us because they want to film us next week. I didn’t expect to be filmed today, but they did a bit and I had to draw this comic while being filmed. It’s hard to draw when people are watching, so sorry this comic isn’t that good today (and it’s late).
Anyway, hoping to get more sleep tonight!
Mr Gwon is finally sorted into a Hogwarts house. Watch the video below to see which one.
We all love Harry Potter in my family. I really love fantasy novels (as does my father and one of my brothers), but Harry Potter was what got our whole family obsessed. Well, except my mother who watched the movies but didn’t read the books I think. On the way to the cinema to see one of the last movies as a family, my mother had asked, “Okay, what do I need to know?” to which my smartarse sister replied, “Well you see, Harry… he is a wizard…” haha.
We read the books over the years, waiting for the next one to come out. They fueled many animated discussions in our family and sometimes fights, especially when a new book had just been released and we only had 1 copy and we got sneaky in our ways to steal the book from each other. There were definitely times where someone was reading at a table, and got up to get a cup of tea, and came back to find the book vanished.
So Harry Potter is not only a great series, but is something that holds many memories for me. Mr Gwon had just casually watched the movies and is not as invested in the Harry Potter world as I am. So it was time for him to be sorted. Now I’m not sure it was such a good idea…
