Exploring the cultural differences in the context of an international marriage of an Australian woman and Korean man (and we now have a baby boy).
We blog about our lives: About Korean culture, about Australian culture, about trying to be bi-cultural. We show snapshots of our lives in the comics on the blog and we explore more cultural differences on KZread, as well as sharing our life together in South Korea.
We have a book out in Korea! goo.gl/DCsjq3

Second new video wooo!!!
My question! How did you know you were ready for a second baby? We just had our first ivf baby 4 months ago and its so much harder than we anticipated, weve been on the fence about even having #2!
Good question! I think I will talk about this next video. Short answer is... it's way too early know yet! You are still in the super hard stage.
:)
When I was in kindergarten, we lived across the street from a convenience store and it was always a special treat if we got to get jojos, that's what we call potato wedges where I live. We always ate them with sour cream but adding sweet chili sauce sounds really good.
So glad you 2 are back. I remember when I started watching you guys and Texan in Tokyo at the same time. Nice to see you coming back into vlogs. Like an old friend coming home.❤ I'd honestly love to see you guys get together to with josh and Ollie. That was so good. Lol welcome back p.s. now I'm in the mood to go and binge some older vlogs,,, what happened with the purple couch. Or did I not pay attention. Lol😂
저두 나중에 집에서 다개국어가 꿈인데... ㅠ 어렵다....
Wow catching up on missed videos. Baby girl is so precious. Glad big brother loves her. 😊
So happy to see you back guys! 🎉🎉🎉
so awesome to see you ..xx
Yul got the moves 😊
Canadian here! I definitely need to try this way of eating potato wedges!
Oh food idk why i remembered the workout video when you said shrinking hugh , no more shrinking hugh with that food XD
Oh my goodness, your little girl is growing up QUESTION: Is your daughter as bilingual as Yul is?
The wedges looked great! I’m not much of a wedge eater (not in my regular rotation) but when I was living in Indonesia (almost 20 years ago) I really struggled with food, being vegetarian and feeling sick and being pregnant. Most of the food was too greasy or had all the same flavour (in the city I was living in). I really craved fresh veg and plain foods like good bread, baked etc. I didn’t have my own kitchen or much time to prepare food as I was working full-time. So curious if you eat mostly Korean food or you cook more plain western food at home too. How do you go eating when you were pregnant or when you feel sick. Do you have comfort foods?
I thought I heard tou say 3 kids. And I wa slike omg when?
I got an ad for frozen French fries during this video 😂 potential sponsor?? Haha
Lol. I had to learn no double dipping!
I think you are correct, I have not seen the sweet chili sauce before!
I have only known his name as Hugh! How is his Korean name spelled please 🙏 ? You both are wonderful! ❤❤ mmm, tomorrow night's dinner DONE
I'm korean who's been living in Australia for a long time and didn't know that it's particularly Aussie thing to have sourcream and sweet chilli sauce with wedges. 😂 And my Aussie husband didn't know that either. He says it's synonymous with a pob meal for some reason. And your kids are so cute. A boy and a girl. So perfect.
Yeah I’m Aussie and it’s definitely not a regular food in my rotation either. I’ve probably had it less than 20 times in my 41 years of life! 😅 I’ve mostly had it from a bakery in our town that lots of students and workers go to at lunch. Wedges are like a food you could get at food courts or something. I’m definitely more of a chips with gravy girl! 😅
I need to make myself some potato wedges with sour cream and sweet chili sauce asap. I'll make a dip for my french fries with sweet chili sauce and ranch (midwest USA, it's our staple lol) and I love it, so I know I'll enjoy that! Yuuuuuum!!
Yum! Love wedges, sour cream and sweet chilli sauce =)
Thank you everyone for the comments on the last video! Next video we might answer some questions so please leave your questions in the comment section. We love talking about intercultural life and raising our kids to be bilingual, but ask whatever you'd like!
Sending you encouragement 🧚♂️🪄💫
Oh gosh! I watched you and Hugh so much starting about ~10 years ago (I looked back and I had watched some of your first vlogs!) but I stopped watching youtube so much around 7 years ago, so I hadn't checked out your channel in years (sorry!). Just yesterday I came across Sara and Hyun's story on another website and I watched some of her vlogs and felt so heartbroken. I watched the vlog where Sara and Hyun revealed their relationship, and they talked about meeting through you and Hugh, and all my memories of watching your vlogs came back and I had to see how you are doing, so what a coincidence that you have just posted this video. I'm so sorry about what happened to Sara. Even just watching a few of her vlogs it seems like she was such a kind, funny, beautiful person and I can imagine she was such a precious friend. I'm going to watch more of her vlogs. It makes so much sense that you took a break, although I look forward to catching up on your lives if you do post more videos :) I don't think you look old at all to be honest, I was surprised that you look just how I remember you! And it's so lovely to see your children, and your family enjoying life between Aus and Korea. I'm a kiwi and I was living in Japan when I originally watched your vlogs, so a lot of the discussions on the difference between Aussie/Korean culture was really interesting to me, because it felt a bit like being neighbours with Aus/NZ and Korea/Japan! Anyway sorry for this novel of a comment, just wanted to share some thoughts especially since you mentioned some of us might be watching you after a long time - here I am! Haha
I’ve been watching you & Hugh from the beginning on your You Tube channel. So happy to have you back!
I watched this video SO LONG ago and I’ve been trying to find it for weeks, I almost felt as if I made it up in my head lmao. Typed every keyword I remembered and still nothing, seems abit shadow banned
@@Phenomenal36 that's really weird! KZread can be so crappy like that...
i would be interested to see your point of view on how korean government is trying to improve the nataloty ratr in korea and what you think would be more effective than what they are doing now. we are a fench korean family in france (2 kids). we would love to live in korea but some aspects are restrainikg us from making the move , especially that France is such an easy and convenience placr to live with kids. we are just not really happy with the security and education level. i am happy to see your "come back" and hope to see you one day in korea :)
Welcome back! I’m so glad to see you guys making videos again. I’ve been a subscriber for many years and was heartbroken at your loss. Strangely enough, I lost my best friend two months ago to a sudden illness. Somehow watching your video made me feel there is hope for doing things we did together again, and in her memory, in time. So thank you. I look forward to seeing more of you and your wonderful stories.
@@taribella9638 I am so sorry. It's so hard. It's important to grieve and feel all the awful, hard feelings. In time, grief becomes manageable. You will be able to do those things again.
Welcome back. I’m an old time viewer. I’d love an update on the kids. How are the kids going at school/daycare? Do they still only speak to you in English at home?
I want to start a media platform in Korea
Do you have a video about after school and what’s the plan to handle it? Just curious how you handle those discussions around school, extra classes homework etc
Don't have a video yet but am planning on making one. ^^
없어 지지는 않을것 이 현상계가 그런걸
Really reassuring… Planning on kids in the future and so worried Korean will completely override any English I try to teach. ㅠㅠ
Love your children! They are just adorable❤
Welcome back!! I would be interested in how you would like your kids to grow up; in Korea or Australia? How do you see this competitive Korean system for your kids? How do you integrate English into daily life? Do you have a "family language"? What is Hugh doing now and what is your work now? Are you still drawing? Are the kids drawing as well? Just a random collection of question. :) Wishing you and your family all the best!
I haven’t seen Hugh for a long time. He looks like he gain some weight. What happened? What happen to the body transformation from 6 yrs. ago? Is it do to life and stress?
It was 7 years ago and he maintained a healthy weight for many years but during the pandemic and some big work stresses caused problems. But back working towards a healthy weight again.
welcome back, I am glad I can see you guys again here
It’s really nice to see you back on KZread 💜 I think about Sara quite often. She must be so missed by her family and friends. I look forward to seeing future videos. 💜🐨💜
Great to see you guys back! Honestly you are so natural and keep it real, I just love your videos. I would love to know more about your struggles with learning Korean, as I know a lot of people think you just magically pick up a foreign language if you are immersed and have a partner who is a native speaker. I also know that it's very easy to lose yourself when you have young kids-your illustrations and videos are such a big part of you so very happy to see them coming back, even if it's slowly but surely. I'm loving following along with Hugh's "new" venture and would definitely like to know a bit more about how that evolved. Also, I feel you about getting old (even though you are not old haha) and good on you both for getting back on track with fitness-I truly wish I had started taking care of myself long before I did so I admire you doing it with very young kids. Welcome back-looking forward to seeing you more. 😍
Wow it’s been awhile since I even saw the channel. At least 4-5 years for me. Good to see you guys are doing well.
Great video! 😊
Feels like an old friend suddenly turns up on your doorstep Welcome back!
Welcome back 🫶🏻 more videos please ❤
I think about her all the time. Not wanting to make content in the wake of an unimaginable loss is so valid.
My daughter likes Gabby's Dollhouse as well, but these days, it's all about TeeniePing.
Yes some TeeniePing here too haha
Yay! Welcome back!! 🎉miss ya 😊
I miss Sara so much! It was heartbreaking to watch even the few videos she posted regarding her cancer journey. It’s been gut wrenching to watch her husband go on without her. I can’t imagine how much this has affected you. Big hugs and prayers to you and I’m so glad to see you back! 🫰🏻
How hard that must be to be freshly married and lose your wife that quickly 😢
It's so good to see you all back on KZread! 👍 🇰🇷🇦🇺
