Sorry there wasn’t a new comic or a video on our main YouTube channel. We are really busy at the moment. We do have a vlog from today though!

Hey guys, we just harvested our kiwi fruit and this year we are giving people the opportunity to buy directly from us (if you in Korea). We harvest once a year, so once these ones are gone, no more until next year. (Also they are organic!)
We sell kiwis by the box (10kg) and price depends on the size of the kiwi fruit.
Box of small size kiwis: ₩15,000. Box of medium size kiwis: ₩20,000. Box of large size kiwis: ₩25,000. Box of extra large size kiwis: ₩30,000. Postage is ₩5000 but there is also the pick up option if you are in the area. (We also usually put an extra kilo of kiwis in the box for “service”).
Email Mr Gwon if you’d like to buy some (email is on contact page) or you can Facebook message him.
We can only send to addresses in Korea! (Also these kiwis are just harvested so are still firm, meaning they will stay fresh for several weeks. To ripen you can put some in a bag with an apple or banana and that will ripen them up ready for eating).
That’s why we have a bread maker… because we don’t have an oven…
So as I’ve mentioned, normal Korean homes don’t have ovens. It slipped my mind when I asked for an oven mitt. Of course there isn’t one! There are other things for handling hot pans on stove tops of course but for some reason not in our house… even the tea towel we used was one that I had sent from Australia as a gift. I really miss having a drawer full of fresh clean tea towels! The things you end up missing while in another country…
When we do eventuality get our own place I will be able to have tea towels!
You can see some of the bread making in yesterday’s vlog.
It would be great if you subscribed to the vlogging channel. It’s free!
We have a few things that people have already sent that we will put up, but we need more. It doesn’t have to be something you’ve made yourself – any cool pic is fine! Address is on the contact page.
I do watch a lot of YouTubers and I do enjoy watching vlogs. That’s one of the reasons why we started a vlogging channel because I find many vlogs really interesting and thought maybe our viewers would like to see more of the every day stuff that we do.
While I know some people like the Aussie accent (though my own accent makes me cringe), Mr Gwon does have a fondness for pretty girls with cute accents so he will often come have a look if I’m watching Zoella with her British accent or CutiePieMarzia with her Italian accent. He is not so interested in someone like Flula though…
Speaking of accents, I had a really weird message the other week and I think it was from a Korean person. They informed me that I should teach my husband the difference between F and P, as well as D and TH and that my husband should speak English properly. It was really quite derogatory and completely missed the point because if you can understand Hugh/Mr Gwon – it doesn’t matter that he has a Korean accent. I like his Korean accent! He knows the difference between those sounds in English, he can pronounce them no problem, he just doesn’t always bother or feel the need to. Language is about communication and if someone can communicate fine, well nitpicking at things like that just makes it harder for people to gain confidence. Unfortunately there is an attitude among many Koreans of being extremely judgmental of someone’s English skills. Many Koreans, with a high level of English, are confident speaking English around native English speakers but freeze up if they have to speak English in front of Koreans.
Anyway, that’s my rant. I will be extremely happy if my Korean skills ever reach the level of my husband’s English skills.
We answer a bunch of your questions!
Just a reminder that although the video schedule should be mostly unaffected, the comics will be more sporadic these next 2 weeks.
Today’s vlog:
And now for something more light-hearted… but weird… this is a very quick video where you can’t see much but I filmed because of Hugh’s weird laugh. I’ve never heard him laugh like this before! He was laughing at my karate chop attempts (this was after he had tried jiu jitsu moves on me). This was just few seconds of a 10 minute laughing fit.
