At the Post Office

He does this all the time! He will whisper behind me that someone is Korean. I’m sure half the time they hear it as well. What was I supposed to do? We are in Australia, the guy was speaking fluent English to me so it would be pretty weird if I said something back in Korean!

It’s different if we are in a Korean restaurant because then obviously I would use some Korean words. But we live in an area where there are many Koreans so it’s not a surprise to see that some work at the local post office. But he just loves pointing it out all the time. Like on the street and walking past people, “They are Koreans.” Okay. Haha.

 

 

Some Days

(remember these comics are just about my experiences and not a guide to all Korean men! haha)

Oh the difference between TV and reality! Funnily enough though, the other week when out with Korean friends, the girls told me I was lucky that my husband was always well dressed and well groomed. I just laughed because they have seen him at his best- which isn’t often. Sometimes it’s a real stand off because I want him to change into something nicer before we go out and he seems to think it’s such an effort.

I have noticed a difference between guys in Korea and Korean guys in Australia who are on working holiday or student visas. There is less pressure in Australia to look good and if they are busy working or studying they don’t care as much. Where as actually in Korea you will see some amazingly stylish men and more emphasis on fashion.

I think my husband is still stuck in “working holiday mode” although he is actually a resident now.

I actually didn’t start watching Korean dramas until after I met my husband. So when I did it was like, “What? They are supposed to look like that?!”

I shouldn’t be too hard on him, he’d much rather buy me something pretty rather than spend any money on clothes for himself.
