This past (very snowy ❄️) week was Seollal holiday in Korea, and we had dinner with Kyuho's family at his parents' home. While we were eating the incredible food that Kyuho's mom prepared, we ended up diving into some pretty interesting conversation topics regarding conflicts and strained relationships with in-laws in Korean society. We also took advantage of a heavier snow day to visit Bongeunsa temple, which is stunning this time of year.

@@2hearts1seoul when you switch the vpn to a new country, do you have to pay a fee for the stream of Netflix in say Korea? My husband think you would have to pay a fee when you switch over to a different country. I am thinking you don’t, you just pay for the membership fee in your own country. Am I making any sense 😬?
@ Nope! Been using it this way for years 😎
@@2hearts1seoul thank you so much 😁😁
Mom's leftovers = bestovers. Also, loved that beginning scene at the temple. It looks so calming in the midst of all the modernization and changes. All the best to you, Kyuho and your families this holiday.
It’s a very serene spot, especially when it’s snowing ❄️
Sarah is lucky to have such a understanding as well as career oriented modern mother in law 🎉
It's really such a wonderful thing to see how Sarah is so respectful of the local culture and to perform the traditional korean bow to the elders. It is always so pleasant to witness harmony within the family. From another asian (chinese) in Singapore.
Buying major appliances together (and being excited about it!) is peak adulting life. 🤭❤️
YES! 🥹
Such an interesting discussion on Korean culture and family hierarchy. You hit the nail with unspoken expectations. I believe that if the couple and both families sat down before the marriage and had an honest discussion about expectations, everyone’s strengths, weaknesses and interests, as well as time availability, a lot of problems could be avoided. The issue is that the family hierarchy also makes it uncomfortable for younger people to speak up, but I really think it’s crucial for a successful marriage. Anyway, take care and I hope you have a great week! 🇨🇦💜🇰🇷
PS. It was so lovely to see Monkey! 😻
Everything you said about “in-law conflicts” - very relatable and one of the best explanations I’ve heard, especially the bit about no longer being a guest. 💯 accurate
I love how your parents gave you a gift and you did the same. ❤
I don't know if I'm the only one who wants more of you guys contents on RUclips?? I clicked as soon as I saw the notification on my phone...LOL
Beautiful new fridge and the leftover food looks amazing!
Awww, thank you so much 🥹🥰
Me too i feel the videos go buy so quick.
So happy to see Monkey again, he’s my favorite and I’ve been missing seeing him 💙
He usually stays hidden somewhere a lot more in the winter, but sometimes we catch him when we go for walks 🐒
@ I love his little sounds, he’s just perfect
Yes! I love Monkey's voice! 🥰
I never knew about the change in dynamics that happens once a couple marries. That has to be so hard to navigate. Thank you for sharing these cultural differences. I love learning along with being entertained. Happy New Year!
It was a pretty interesting topic to be discussing with the family during Seollal dinner 😂 Glad you enjoyed it!
Never seen the subway (and subway station) so empty! Crazy 😮 I am greatful my 어머님 & 아버님 are so nice and caring! Been watching you guys since maybe 2017 and it seems like Sarah's in laws are sweet and caring too ❤
The old buildings in the midst of a big city is a true gem. Just beautiful. Thanks for bringing us. A peaceful spot to remember Beemo.
It's so special to have these little pockets of history in big cities ❤️
So glad to see Monkey! Been a while❤ and Sarah's metro announcer's voice was spot-on! 😂
“This stop is…” 🗣️
Random thought, but I really enjoy you guys sitting down and talking about these things. I would LOVE for you guys to have a podcast and have in-depth conversations, because I don't think a segment on a video or even a full 20 minutes video do your thoughts justice! And I'm hella excited for the new fridge lol, I've been looking to change mine to one that's bigger and I got super happy for you!
Don’t think that’s good idea without potentially triggering a lot of Korean viewers/netizens. Tho Sarah been living in Korea for awhile but she’s not really “immersed” in the cultural practices which is fine.
@kimckawa I think that as long as it's done respectfully and focus on telling and not judging (as they have always done), it'd be alright. They've already touched sensitive issues (in-laws and DILs, marriage, children and children free people/zones, job culture, etc) and I haven't seen hate towards them.
Thank you! Wish we had the time for a podcast 😅 But we do have a lot of fun inserting little mini-podcast bits like this into our vlogs for some variety :)
I'm also married to Korean (newly married). Haven't dealt with conflict yet but felt the "title" and "image" thing in Korea already just in general. So knowing the culture, from 17 minutes she summed it up PERFECTLY.
영상을 보면 맘이 편해져요. 오랜만에 들어왔는데 아는 친구를 보는 느낌입니다. 영상 고맙습니다.
Kyuho's Mother's cooking is amazing! And so beautifully laid out. Love your new refrigerator. Happy for you!
And yes, the Temple is very serene.
Love hearing Monkey again. 🥰
Haha glad you enjoyed seeing Monkey again, he’s a little shy during the winter months 🐒
@2hearts1seoul I did! The most unique Cat voice ever! 😍
I quite enjoy the music in your videos! Sundays are my house reset day and having your videos in the background has become a tradition!
I remember when you gifted Kyuho’s parents a refrigerator. I think you were gifted it and it was too big for your apt. Now it’s your time for a well deserved new appliance. You’ll have much more room for Kyuho’s Mom’s goodies! Glad you had a wonderful family meal together. Again- Happy Lunar New Year! ❤🪱
Yes we did! His mom loves that fridge so much, haha. Thank you! 🥰 Our new one really makes such a huge difference in our place!
We are not Korean, but Hmong. My dad is 88 and from a very traditional era. He always insist that we call each other by the proper title. He always points out to us to teach our children to call someone a certain way too if our children are not properly doing so.
Happy Lunar new year
Yes, this is a very East Asian thingy. All East Asian follows this strict family order.
congrats on the new fridge! i am still living like a student with a tiny fridge and looking forward to the first real fridge with lots of freezer space in my life! you did it, guys! 🎊
I found the leftover situation funny. Something we all have in common the world over, moms sending kids home with leftovers!!
Thank you for showing my favorite cat, Monkey. I'm glad to see he's doing okay. By the way, I love the snowy scenery and the beautiful, serene music at the beginning. 💜
I just love Kyuho 's mum's cooking especially the jeon & japjae❤
Sarah’s insight on “unconscious expectations” really opened my eyes on not only family dynamics, but also inter-personal relationships. As a Korean, I didn’t even realize I was putting expectations on myself and my loved ones due to society’s standards. Thank you for sharing!
Awe sweet Monkey ❤ thank you for all that you both do for the cats
He’s the cutest little grandpa 😽
Great video. Kyho's parents are so nice. If his mom ever makes a cookbook I would buy it. Her food looks so good.
Her cooking is always spot on~
명절 갈등은 참 한국 사회의 고질적인 문제죠...말씀하신 부분은 애초에 한국어 단어나 표현에 위계가 있어서 더 복잡한 것 같아요. 그나마 도련님, 새언니 같은 표현 이제 잘 안 쓰니 다행이에요ㅋㅋㅋ또...한국 명절이 더 힘들게 느껴지는 이유 중 하나가 음식 문화 때문 아닐까 싶어요. 반찬 가짓 수가 많고 손 많이 가는 조리법이 대부분이어서 명절 때 일이 참 많죠. 일 년 중 설날, 추석 때만 기름진 거 드실 수 있던 할머니, 할아버지 세대도 아직 살아 계시구요.
그래도 90년대 중후반생인 제 새대를 보면 정말 많은 전통들이 바뀌고 있고 앞으로 더 바뀔 것 같다는 생각이 들어요. 이번 연휴 때 인천공항 터진 것만 봐도ㅎㅎ요새 또 대부분 맞벌이를 하니 며느리든 사위든 누구 한 명한테만 부담 줄 핑계도 없더라구요.
봉은사 부분 영상미 최고에요🫶🏻🥰
맞아요 음식 문화도 한 몫을 차지하는 것 같아요. 정말 맛있고 종류도 다양해서 먹을 땐 즐겁지만 그 이면엔 누군가의 시간과 정성이 많이 들어갔다는걸 항상 잊어선 안 되고 당연시 받아들여서도 안 되는 것 같아요. 요즘엔 음식도 많이 간소화되고 말씀하신대로 가족단위로 여행을 가는 분들이 더 많아지는 것 같아요. 저희 가족만 해도 추석에 가족 여행을 가니 진짜 많이 바뀌었고 앞으로도 명절 문화가 많은 변화를 겪을것 같아요. 댓글 항상 감사드려요 이번주 정말 춥다는데 감기 조심하세요 😃🥰
Happy New Year. OMG, I was so envious looking at all that incredible spread of food. I love Korean food, especially Japchae.
I am blown away by that spread of food! It looked absolutely amazing!! Wow!! Almost too pretty to eat with all of those colors and textures and vegetables ❤
Right?! It’s the perfect mix of healthy and delicious 😋
봉은사 참 아름답네요.항상 보이는 집 인테리어도 코지하고 정갈해서 인상깊게 보고 있어요.
새해 복 많이 받으시고 좋은 영상 기대해요~
the seollal leftovers look so good! I definitely jealous...
12:19 WOW the tube is soooooo clean!
I am so impressed with how clean the Seoul subway system is. The subway here where I live (Toronto) is so disgusting I stopped taking it, I'll just drive down or uber (typically uber) now.
I never take Seoul’s subway system for granted, ever 🚊✨
As someone who takes Toronto's subway several times weekly , it's not that bad. I wish it was as nice as this though but at this point, I rather them expand the subway system to make the city more accessible than make it look great lol. So envious of cities with better public transportation
@@AshleyLowis Unfortunately our politicians have no idea what they are doing. Pretty sure out of the world's major cities Toronto has the worst transit system.
Singapore subway are super clean. No eating, no drinking in carriage😊
@@Bagellatte Smart, the last time I took the TTC (Toronto Subway) it's smelt like a bathroom (urine), garbage all over (wrappers, food scraps, newspapers), seats falling apart, it was disgusting. I'll pay the extra to drive/uber/train down now.
i just want to say that i look forward to your vlogs every single week
So glad you enjoy them! 🥰
Thank you for sharing. It is very interesting how Korean culture can effect ones personal life so much..this was very informative. Thank you, love your channel
Love the variety of possibilities, textures and tastes on the dinnertable. Right in my alley ...
I've always appreciated your videos! Especially perfect for bedtime, so calm and cozy :) I will be in Korea in April and am making a list of places to go while watching your videos hehe
So glad you find them relaxing! Hopefully they help you get in the mood for your trip 🥰✈️
@@2hearts1seoul Getting a bit too excited here!! Stay warm you two
Hi Guys! The two of you have been a part of my Sunday morning routine for years now! My partner and I enjoy your topics, points of view, and video graphics of Seoul and the rest of the country. We had just returned to San Diego from our 10th trip to Seoul in April of 2024 when we watched one of your videos showing a location we had just been to a few days before! We're heading back to Seoul next month for a three week visit. We're harmless people, trust me. Is there anything you are craving from the US that you can't find there? We can bring it. I teach elementary school and have shared parts of your videos to enlighten my students on South Korea. Keep up the great work!
Hi! Awww, thank you so much for watching for all this time 🥰 Wow, so this will be your 11th trip to Seoul-nice!! Thank you so, so much for the offer 🥹 but we’ll be heading to Canada in July to visit my family, so we plan on indulging our cravings then 😂 Thanks again for the kind offer, and hope you have a fantastic trip!!
I freaking ADORE The Apothecary Diaries! I bought season 1 part 1 on bluray even though it's kind of expensive here in the Unted States. I wish the app I've been watching season 2 on would drop the episodes all at once instead of making me wait! Such a great anime. I'm so happy that you're also a fan!
Season 2 is currently airing in Japan every Friday night, so there’s no platform that is going to drop all the episodes at once 😭
been watching you since you got bemo first time i love this channel alot
We miss our Beemo too ❤️🩹
@@2hearts1seoul Are these stray cats ?
omggg didnt realize season two was up! tyty * off i go *
Always loved the train arrival jingles - there was another one for trains in the opposite direction. (12:10). That food looked amazing. Thanks for continuing to look after the cats outside. 🇰🇷😊👍
Am I the only one excited for the new refrigerator? 😂 Enjoy it!
We were/still are SO excited about it!!
Apothecary diaries is the best! One of my all time favorites, I hope they come out with a season 3
Me too!!
1:32 it was very pretty during the Spring 2024.
I was surprised that a lot of places food places around COEX shut down around 9pm
Bright side when you buy a new refrigerator during the winter you can put your food that needs to be cold on the balcony
댓글들을 보니 진정한 국제커플이네요. 서로 이해하며 항상 행복하세요^^
Yay! So good to see Monkey again! Great relaxing video.
Wish I could help you,with all those leftovers.Lol😊
Thanks!
Is it technically "leftovers" if your mom intended to pack you all the food before it was left over? 😅 Looked like she had packed some of it even before everyone sat down to eat. Cooking is her love language.❤
SOOO EXCITED FOR YOUR NEW FRIDGE
I was marking my students' exam papers and just had The Apothecary Diaries in the background at first. Somehow, I was hooked on it! Season 2 so far is as good as season 1 imo 👍🏻
So glad you’re enjoying it too!
I think Sarah would love the Apothecary diaries light novels! Also another great video ☺
I found the discussion about in-law conflict to be very relatable and have experienced it in my Chinese culture. When I got married, I felt blindsided by the increased expectations from my MIL. It created conflicts between us and husband often felt caught in the middle. Fortunately we were able to sort it out but I don't see us (me and MIL) being as close as we were before marriage.
It is so fascinating how this switch suddenly goes off in some families when it comes to marriage.
😫🙏🏻 It was so good to see “Monkey”!!! Thanks for that. The poor thing 🥲. Really happy for your getting a larger fridge! Super high compliments to Kyuhos mom! Her meals look so very healthy and delicious!
We were so happy to catch him in the daylight this time haha 🐒
Really love watching ur videos on monday after the work hectic 😊😊 so calming and I really love ur aesthetic💖 even ur musics choices are always top notch 🫶
So glad to hear you're enjoying the vlogs 🥰
Nothing like Korean mom''s home cooking.
I love "The Apothecary Diaries" I have Crunchyroll so I watch it there, but there are other things that I love to watch that are only available in other countries. Such a good deal too.
I think using titles within a family, in the United States, depends on the family you are raised in, although age may be a factor. My family is from New England/Upstate New York and I grew up very close to them, they were 1915-1926, and lived into their 90s. I was born in the 70s, I alway use titles for my Aunts and Uncles. I always addressed my children's teachers, as Mr and Mrs and their last names, as a sign of respect. I would never consider addressing my Doctors by their first name. However my friend who has a very similar background to mine calls everyone by the first names, except her parents (and grandparents when they were living).
예전에비해선 자주 못보지만 볼때마다 좋네요~
감사합니다! 🥰
Enjoyed your video in two parts today lol, just painting our jack and gill washroom today. We’ve been working on it for quite a long while, so it’ll be nice to have it finished. Plus I baked bread, one of the three loaves I ruined 😭 I should have left it in the pan for a bit.
Great video!! I enjoyed the family aspect of everyone together enjoying food and making wonderful memories together. Your conversation about your society is definitely something that comes through while I watch K Drama’s. It is very patriarchal. But I do think other cultures can be that way, like European culture. But it’s definitely true that after you’re married your title or role changes, because you did go from being a guest to being a part of the family. I agree that relationships should stay between the couple for the best chance at a happy marriage, unless you as a couple want your parents advice, but it’s asked for and not forced. But as a parent myself I can understand wanting my future son in-law to be good to my daughter and I would want the same for him. I would want them to be happy together and learn how to work through life’s trials.
But I feel like you get along with both sides of your family, I like that especially as Sarah you are used to a different culture and bring something different to your new family but also have embraced the culture of theirs. Tbh you both have done that!!
Thank you for the video I really really enjoyed it!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is something that should be discussed before marriage with your partner and parents to make sure there is no misunderstanding of what you will or will not do. Parents need to stay out of their children's marriage and children need to stand up to their parents and say NO.
YUP, agree~
@@sprocket8662 totally agree! I don't know who I will marry in future but that discussion will have to happen. As I am the kind of person who doesn't follow other people's expectations.
It’s East Asian culture. Way to shove your ideas into a foreign culture
@@profile1565 This type of conversation is important regardless of whatever cultural background you and your partner happen to have.
@@profile1565 This East Asian Culture maybe why marriage and births are down. Being a slave to in-laws is outdated.
Happy Lunar New Year🎉 I love the cute little birds on the temple🐦🐦🐦
They looked plump and happy there haha 🐦⬛
I like the snow by the villages
LOVE the Monks 'special lock/secret code?'....then it's just a modern PIN code..😂😂😂😂😂 Must visit that temple when we return, Buddhism just seems so tranquil... Your sponsors are so useful, I've logged them for future use... Seollal day, love the old welcoming tradition.. we have the 2nd public holiday of 2025 on 1 Feb, St Brigid's day .. a prelude to St Valentine's (not a holiday....yet..😮) and the massive international St Patrick's day (17 Mar...probably an event in Seoul too😊) New fridge.. we had that AND 2 freezers before we went to Seoul last June...dumping so much frozen stuff brought a dose of reality to someone near....😢😢 Family conflict...unfortunately wife has completely severed her family ties over their 'expectations'..so no more trips to VN..sad but that's her choice 😢😢 Q..Snow/minus chill...are Korean villas as well insulated as modern apartments..?
With my husband’s family, I still call his parents, aunts, uncles, by their titles, but luckily his siblings and partners of his siblings accept that I call them by their names. I explained to them that by calling them by their name, I feel closer to them than when I try to use a title. Luckily they are super receptive to this and like that I call them by name. My husband still feels a bit weird about it sometimes, but admits that my “foreigner card” (as he calls it) allows me to get away with avoiding nearly all daughter in law responsibilities.
Hi, it hasn't changed about in-laws for Korea. The 😺 are beautiful. Thank you very interesting till next vlog take care 😊...
The apothecary diaries is SUCH A GREAT ANIMEEE!!! 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I watch with my crunchy-roll subscription 😅
Estou amando seus vídeos tudo lindo.
So glad you’re enjoying them! 💖
I love the apothecary diares (I haven't started the new season yet, but I will) ♡ Stay warm!!!
.
.
That chicken noodle soup looks delicious!
Edit: I agree 100% with the titles here in Korea. As a foreigner living here, for the first like 2 years, I didn't understand that cultural aspect of Korea. And even now that I understand it and respect it (especially at work), I still prefer to see people by who they are.. but definitely it's a difficult topic here!
I’m watching Apothecary Diaries on Crunchyroll. I love this show it’s such fun.
around this time 7 years ago I went to Seoul. I'm guessing whenever I visit again it will be a different city
Love all your videos
How did it turn out that Kyuho's mom treats you seemingly, with a more equal respect ? DO you think she doesn't expect you to cook because she has her business? I would love to hear more about your relationship Sarah with your in-laws. You all seem very open and harmonious together. Oh my goodness she always feeds you so beautifully. Also I know you and Kyuho both cook and have cooked for the parents (in both countries...YUM! {Rest in peace, sweet Beemo}
She had a really hard time with her MIL and knew she never wanted to do the same to hers-which is why we get along so well 😅
am a Korean and married to Italian man, do have somewhat having issues with sister-in-law, (though she's nice but personal hygiene is the issues and other things that I don't appreciate) but I guess just deal with it , lol, , very interesting topics about family dynamics in Korea
Very interesting video. I would not want to get married either those rules like in Korea for daughter in laws. I Love snowy days. ❤ Stay warm and be happy.
The food Kyuho’s mom prepared looks absolutely delish ! 😋
Alwayssss 🌝
I’m Chinese American and it’s so interesting that Korean & Chinese culture are so similar! The hierarchy, titles and job descriptions that are connected to each are real !! I still can’t forget how my Dad wanted my brother who is U.S. born and doesn’t speak Chinese at all to marry a woman from China. He thinks she’ll know her title as daughter in law and expectations in the family. For example, since I’m single older sister still living with the family, my younger brother’s wife is expected to take care of my cooking & cleaning for me too! My Dad wanted me to convince my brother to meet the woman and stated I’ll benefit from their marriage too! I was literally LMAO !! I told my Dad that he’s living in the wrong time & country. It’s also the reason I don’t want to date Chinese men with mothers who are too traditional. My own mother had berated me for not learning enough to please my future mother in law and there will be complaints about me in the future!! I’m not going to marry a traditional Chinese guy for sure! Some of my Chinese girlfriends had married Chinese men and ended up living together in the same house as the in laws.
“I’ll benefit from their marriage too…” yikesssss 😬 hahaha glad you set your dad straight there 😂
Happy new year!
One thing I noticed that I thought was interesting was if youre renting an apt, does it not come with a frig? Maybe that’s a cultural thing, cause around here they normally would. Like what do you do if you moved? Cart the frig with you?
Lol I'm watching apothecary diary in Canada:) it's on crunchy roll here.
That's one crazy fridge! It has a LED display in the door! Congrats 👏😊 (did they take the old one away)?
It was common in Thailand in the past. These in-law packages become less vivid, since the roles of couple are switching here. In Thailand, most couples have similar responsibility in the household. As long as family can survive, they don't need to have clear-cut about what should be done. Man can be housemaid, while woman goes out to earn money. However, this in-law expectation is still intense inside Chinese household. Many women choose to break-up or even quite in early state of dating when they find out that man belonging to Chinese family.
Kyuhos mums food is always so good looking!!!! 😩👌🏻
Wow 20 year old fridge what brand was that fridge guys!!!!
P.s love the chill entry music!!!!! 👍🏻
Her cooking is always spot on~
It was an LG fridge that the building owner bought agesss ago! Glad you enjoyed the music 🎶
@2hearts1seoul ✌️
🎉 Great insight👌
YES! Apothecary Diaries!
MONKEY IS THE BEST: SO CUTE 🥺🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 So is the beautiful black and white kitty and the grey and white one 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I hope Monkey doesn’t have mouth cancer 😢
Monkey just has old man teeth, he’s about 26 years old 🥲
@@2hearts1seoul26 years old?! Is that really possible??
LOLLLL I’m SO sorry, I meant 16 (SIXTEEN) years old 😂😂 What a typo!!
Love apothecary diaries. The colors are so beautiful. I bought the manga series. Haven’t had the chance to read them all yet. Not sure what anime shows you have access to or enjoy, but I think you would both enjoy A Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today.
I’ve really been considering reading the entire manga series and just spoiling myself 😅 the art for both the anime and the manga are so beautiful~ I’ll have to look that one up!
Cultural or not. I have been married now for 24 years and have 3 beautiful boys. My husband and I both had busy careers (pilot/nurse) and juggled the care of the home/children. No issue…..my in-laws saw it VERY differently. They made their view very clear over the first 14 years. Thankfully we have a great marriage and I ended up making the decision to no longer go to family events. I have not spoken to them for the past 10 years as it got to boiling point. Our marriage and family was more important than that 💩 😂😂
Hi guys, just a quick idea, perhaps you should consider change the fridge opening to the other side, I did that and it made such a difference in the kitchen, especially in a not so big space, similar to yours 🫶🏻
ㅎㅎ 나도 괜찮아 나도 갈게요!!!
What a lovely place to reflect on your memories of Beemo. This is a real testament to how much you loved him.❤❤❤.
Just curious. Do a lot of people still wear masks in public settings. I do, but in Canada people look at me like I am out of my mind.
We miss our little dude a lot ❤️🩹
Oh it’s super common in Korea to wear masks, it was a thing wayyy before Covid here (and in East Asian countries in general). More people wear them here in the colder months due to cold/flu season, and they also are great at keeping your face warm!
That is so true … but I think the in law issues are universal
😂I've been watching the apothecary diary on crunchy roll on canada, ❤
I don’t feel like paying for yet another subscription, so VPN it is 😂
😊
Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. Another great video, thank you. I'm wondering, Sarah, did you have this change with your mother-in-law when you married? You discussed these changes but didn't say if you went through these issues and if it impacted your marriage at all 😊
In Singapore, married couple usually live apart from their in-laws. Perhaps once a week or longer will visit the in-laws. I think the relationship should be a give-and-take kind, sometiimes you might need your in-laws to help look after your children or yout furbabies when you are on holiday etc. Maybe because generations of Singaporeans are already English-educated and exposed more to things western, while we do not call our in-laws or parents by their names (it feels weird and disrespectful), we (for Chinese here) also do not have that kinda hierarchy you mention in Korean family. Also most of us in Singapore have done away with kneeling before our parents on the 1st day of CNY, among other cumbersome traditions.
It's very funny to me how Koreans sometimes are so strict. I go to very small town in Himalayas India very often. There is this Korean buddhist nun.We often sit next to each other on pujas. She is maybe in our parents age. She is not happy about that at all. She is very strict, she never ever smiles, only looks at me with death sentence on her face. I see this stiffness in hierarchy in her. But on the other hand she is the ocean of calmness. Maybe this rules and hierarchy was exactly for that. Everybody knows how to behave and you find calmness and peace in that.
Is there a reason that the holiday is so long this year as opposed to others? Just curious. I was unaware of that holiday.
The lunisolar calendar is used for this holiday (as well as Chuseok), so it falls on a different date each year. If those 3 days of the holiday line right up with the weekend, it can be an extra long holiday. These days the government also sometimes adds an extra day like they did this year.
@ Oh. I see. Thank you.
Sarah, where did you buy the books/display shelf next to your couch? Thanks
It’s the cat tower/bookshelf from the Korean furniture company ‘iloom’ :)
@@2hearts1seoulThank you.
Holy leftovers. 😳😅✨👍
🐷
Can you flip the frig door; put the hinge on opposite side so the door opens to the sink side of the kitchen?
Nope, and we wouldn’t want to anyway, since the wall on the opposite side would prevent us from opening the fridge as wide as we can on the side it’s currently on.
