Cherry Blossoms

Cherry Blossoms

We went and saw some cherry blossoms with some friends and when you go in a group it’s not as romantic… I’m sure it would have been super romantic when we were in the excitement of the start of a relationship. My husband acknowledged this when I said it but didn’t even look up from instagraming! Married life….haha. But really he gave me a rose the other day so he does definitely make an effort.

There are cherry blossoms all over Korea but the ones in concentrated areas are where everyone goes to see them. Where we went there was a mini festival set up. There were also views of the mountains and the sea, so it was extra nice. The wife of my husband’s best friend pointed out which way we had to walk because she’d been there before. This led to her husband asking, “Did you come here before with another man?!” Yup, she had… she’d been there with an exboyfriend. Her husband exaggerated his shock and said to their baby, “Your mother came here with another man!”

There are so many couples about when there are cherry blossoms. It’s so pretty and romantic, especially when the wind blows and the petals blow around like snow. We did film our trip so we’ll have a video up about it soon!

Ask Korean Guys 12 – Making Kimchi

So as the guys said in the video, a lot of young people don’t know how to make kimchi. It’s not always passed down these days. The reason why Sophie and I know how to make kimchi is because we are interested in Korean culture and are keen to preserve these traditions. This is also the reason why we both had traditional Korean weddings whereas most Koreans only have modern weddings.

Everyone has different tastes in kimchi because there are so many different types and different flavours even among the same type. Personally I prefer the taste of just made kimchi but many people like the very strong tasting kimchi that has been fermenting for a while. What type of kimchi do you like?

Fun fact: The boys didn’t actually eat the kimchi in the video because it was late at night and they had just brushed their teeth. They pretended to eat it on camera but it was so sarcastic that we had to cut it out. But it was really nice kimchi!

Some bloopers from recent videos!

Also: As you guys know, Han sometimes pretends to be G-Dragon in our videos due to his resemblance to him. Han and Sophie (and baby Alice) will be visiting Korea soon and we plan on filming a “fashion” video with Han as GD. If you have some ridiculous clothing you’d like “GD” to wear, you can send it to us and we’ll use it in the video! Our address is on the contact page.

Ask First

Ask First

I shouldn’t be scared! My Mother-in-law is really sweet. The bang of the door just scared me and then I looked really suspicious digging around in the ice cream freezer. But really my bread had been stored in there, I didn’t know it had been moved to another freezer. I bought a lot of bread in Seoul but to make sure it lasts I need to freeze it.

Unfortunately it’s really tempting having a big freezer full of ice cream at the front of the house! Not good for diets.

Don’t Believe

Don't Believe

He was fooled by a headline saying The Avengers filming had moved from Seoul to Japan… I got through the whole day not believing anything! And then I got to 1am and stupidly thought something was real… damnit.

Did you fall for anything yesterday? Were you fooled?

He found them while searching through some stuff in the house here.

Some people will know what movie he is quoting, and some people won’t 🙂
