Bread and Cheese

Bread and Cheese

I wasn’t even upset that they had eaten my precious bread and cheese from Seoul because I was so happy that they liked it. There is this belief in Korea that all foreigners eat bread every day, but the only bread Koreans are familiar with is sweet bread, so that’s what they think we eat. Many people have no idea that most bread around the world is actually savoury. Unfortunately huge chain stores like Paris Baguette don’t help because the majority of what they sell is sickly sweet and pretty gross. So I have always been curious, if Korean people are exposed to good quality savoury bread and cheese (most cheese here is processed plastic stuff) will they like it? I know my husband does, but he likes everything. I even double checked with my husband, “Did they really like it? They weren’t just saying that?” and he said they really did. Yessss!

ALSO: I have some kinda bad news… there won’t be any more comics on the blog for the rest of this week. Sorry! I have to focus on the comic book that will be published soon and will be working really hard this week. There will still be videos because Mr Gwon edits those, but for the comics I produce every day, I will be too busy this week. I’m giving you the exact dates that there won’t be any because I don’t want to be one of those bloggers that never updates once they get a book deal. Also we constantly update the social media so you can follow what we are doing through that. So there will be a new comic next Monday!

Bread

Hey everyone we have landed in Korea! We got to my husband’s parents’ house last night. Since we are quite tired from travelling, Sophie made me a comic for today! Most of you would have seen Sophie and her husband Han feature in some comics and videos before.

Bread

So some Koreans really adapt to an international diet when they move to a foreign country.

Not my husband.

Han wont eat more than one of what he describes as ‘bread’ in a day (sometimes in a month!) and if cake is bread, you might be wondering what else is bread. I asked Han for a few examples, he told me the following are all bread:
Donuts, pancakes, croissants, cereal, cake, biscuits, pizza, pasta, ..and the list goes on and on..

Anyway, Han looked after our little Alice for HOURS so I could draw this and at times got photoshop rage and wacom rage, haha, I don’t know how you do it every day, Nic!

Han, Alice and I want to wish you all the best on the beginning of your big Korean adventure and hope you have a good day off today (since I have made this comic for you!)
