Things inherently Korean... a post while I'm feverish and fluey.

So Robert and I were just talking (well... I was talking at Robert...) about things that are inherently Asian about... me. LOL. In Once They Hear My Name, one of the adoptees was saying how he thinks that people have things that are just inherently in them, regardless of what environment they've been brought up in. He named a few things about himself that he thinks of as being simply... "Korean" about him. It got me thinking of things that I feel are inherently Korean about me. And the two main things that popped into mind straight away were:

1. The first one would have to simply be that I could live on plain white rice. LOL. I get the biggest cravings for plain rice sometimes. And I know that's viewed as kind of weird in the "western" mind frame. LOL. Robert's always thought it was something kinda weird. XP That and kimchi. I get massive cravings for kimchi and feel kinda... lost if I don't have a bucket of it in my fridge. XD (Note: for those who may not be aware, Koreans cannot live without rice and kimchi. And I'm beginning to think that that's not just a cultural thing!)

2. The way I eat. As a kid, I remember my Mum always telling me to not eat so fast. Koreans like to mix their food up. EG: bibimbap. Growing up, my family had lots of baked dinners, EG: sausages with vegetables and stuff. I used cram a bite of each thing into my mouth, so it could kinda all be... mixed up in my mouth, but it seriously must have looked like I was simply shovelling food into my mouth. LOL. After seeing how Korean people eat, I kinda think I eat like them too. XD

In other random news, I think it's kinda funny that 이민호 has started a singing career. Although I am a complete sucker for this type of pop music, I can't help but think that it's all just a big "let's-make-use-of-MinHo's-꽃보다 남자-popularity-and-make-more-money-by-getting-him-to-sing!". Yes, I love the song - it's catchy and addictive and a guilty pleasure, but come on... is that all it is to be a celebrity these days - to make money for the people above you? XP In a way... I feel kinda sorry for them. Still, I like 이민호. And when your husband gets somewhat addicted to a cute Korean drama like 꽃보다 남자, well... you know they've done something right! XD

Wow... what a random blog post this has been! Now to try and get over the flu so I can eat more chocolate hopefully enjoy Easter Sunday... T_T
