This was last year while in Korea.

I’ve mentioned before that I have trouble sitting on the floor (and squatting) as I’m just not used to it. BUT this woman complimented me on my sitting! We had told her that I was marrying a Korean man and that I really liked Korean culture. I tried really hard during the tea ceremony and sat in the traditional way she showed us. Everything was going well and she said I sat well and I was moving elegantly. I was so happy.

…But then my legs and feet started to hurt. I didn’t dare shift because then she would realise I was a fraud! We were sitting there for a while and the pain got worse and worse but I wanted to prove myself. By the time we left my legs hurt so much that I couldn’t walk properly for a few minutes. haha…
