Intercultural Life
Luckily the person he wanted to make it wasn’t me.
Anyway that’s his way of “cooking”. My mum heard him trying to convince others in the house to make it and I said his idea of cooking is to buy the ingredients and convince someone else to do it. My mum said, “That’s always my strategy,” because she hates cooking, and my husband said, “Yeah! I learnt it from you!”
He did end up convincing someone else to make seafood pancake for everyone. He loves food but doesn’t like cooking.
I don’t know where he picks up these sayings! I also don’t know why he needs two phones and why he keeps them in the bed at night.
He is much more attached to his phones than me, and is always using them. I’m the type to put my phone down somewhere and not check it until six hours later.
I like a lot of Japanese food and try to cook some at home. Since it’s easy enough to get real Japanese ingredients in Sydney I try to buy them. Some Korean ingredients can be very similar to Japanese ones so my husband thinks I should just use the Korean ones.
He doesn’t outright call me a traitor, but I kinda sense it in his exasperated voice!
Also:
YOU CAN WATCH US ON EBS HERE! Sorry there isn’t English subtitles but I do speak in English in it.
(If there is a pop up window just click okay and then click play again, the whole show should play).
I’m visiting my parents right now while he stays in Sydney for work.
I did an interview with Ahn Junghyun for the radio program 1013 Main Street yesterday which will be on the show today at 11:30am. You can listen on the website or on the smart phone app.
I was a bit worried I sounded very incoherent because I had an echo on the phone meaning I could hear myself 1 second after I spoke, which was distracting. I was also doing it in 40 C heat (that’s 104 F for you Americans ^_^) so please forgive me if I sound rambling. Yes, Australia is very hot at the moment. Especially where my parents live.
So my husband was annoyed that I said his name in the interview at first, but very quickly got over it. His Korean name is Sunhong which should actually be spelled “Soonhong”, but when he first made his passport years ago he wrote it with a ‘u’ because it fit onto one line on the passport form. He has forever condemned himself to having his name read out as “SUN hong? SUN hong?” in Australia.
Koreans tell me his name is very countryside sounding, but of course not being a native Korean speaker, I can not tell that at all. His family often call him “Honga” or “Hongie” but of course when calling out to him drag the sound out. Many times at his parents’ house I heard them saying “Hongaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Hehe.
