Snowman

He has been known to destroy sandcastles… and now he is destroying snowmen! We haven’t actually had any decent snow here but when we were coming back from Seoul, at the rest stop, there were several snowmen.

We are back home and trying to catch up on comics, videos and book stuff! Yes the book will be released soon!

Leave the plastic on

This has been an ongoing argument. Even though I ripped it off, he has now stuck the crumpled plastic back on the heater. Oh look how new it is again! I’m sure we can sell it for full retail price!!!………….. not.

What type of person are you? My hands itch to take the plastic off things, but Mr Gwon always wants to leave the plastic on as long as possible. I can’t stand how untidy it looks having plastic on things but he insists it will stay new if the plastic is left on.

Korean Traffic

I’ve been living in Korea for almost 1 year but I’m still not used to Korean traffic or how unsafe it is for pedestrians . We almost got mowed down by a church van, but as Mr Gwon pointed out, once they hit us and kill us it would be convenient if they drove us to heaven too.

MODERN FARMER REVIEW

2014/11/28 / Nic / 9 Comments

We talk about the Korean drama “Modern Farmer” and what we think about it. No major spoilers.

I do most of the talking because I actually sat down and wrote an essay about the drama after discussions with Hugh about it. Therefore it was easier for me to talk about it. Also, he is so hungry in this video so all he is thinking about is food.

Watching Vlogs

2014/11/03 / Nic / 31 Comments

I do watch a lot of YouTubers and I do enjoy watching vlogs. That’s one of the reasons why we started a vlogging channel because I find many vlogs really interesting and thought maybe our viewers would like to see more of the every day stuff that we do.

While I know some people like the Aussie accent (though my own accent makes me cringe), Mr Gwon does have a fondness for pretty girls with cute accents so he will often come have a look if I’m watching Zoella with her British accent or CutiePieMarzia with her Italian accent. He is not so interested in someone like Flula though…

Speaking of accents, I had a really weird message the other week and I think it was from a Korean person. They informed me that I should teach my husband the difference between F and P, as well as D and TH and that my husband should speak English properly. It was really quite derogatory and completely missed the point because if you can understand Hugh/Mr Gwon – it doesn’t matter that he has a Korean accent. I like his Korean accent! He knows the difference between those sounds in English, he can pronounce them no problem, he just doesn’t always bother or feel the need to. Language is about communication and if someone can communicate fine, well nitpicking at things like that just makes it harder for people to gain confidence. Unfortunately there is an attitude among many Koreans of being extremely judgmental of someone’s English skills. Many Koreans, with a high level of English, are confident speaking English around native English speakers but freeze up if they have to speak English in front of Koreans.

Anyway, that’s my rant. I will be extremely happy if my Korean skills ever reach the level of my husband’s English skills.
