Korean people's Thoughts about Marriage

Today, my husband was looking at one picture and started giggling.


I took a look at it, and I could find some comments like 'So true.' 'Hahaha, that is true.'
13 people shared the picture to other people, so I guess people really thought that this picture reflects some of truth.

This is another fun joke that is popular. Obviously, guys think that marriage is a crazy thing.

Even from many movies, soap operas, and stories, a lot of men are so against marriage in the USA.

However, this thing can be hardly seen and found in Korea.

Korean women are not that excited about marriage.

M brain monitor(Korean survey company) did a survey to 2000 people in Korea.

57.6% said 'Marriage is not the necessary element of Happiness.

While 46.3% of men responded that 'you can be happy without marriage,' 68.9% of women responded that 'you can be happy without marriage.'
More women think that they can be happy without marriage.

The reason why women think like that is in Korea, even though women have a job and work, they are still considered to be the one who are responsible for the house work and chores, which is totally unfair to women.



Even among my friends, many guy friends of mine want to get married and settle down, but many girl friends of mine want to enjoy their single life and postpone her marriage as far as she can. lol.

So... those pictures of American joke didn't make me laugh nor empathize.

This is the link of the article of Korean newpaper. If you can't read Korean, you don't need to bother to click it. lol. I am just saying I didn't make this up. I have a reference. lol.

Now, those pictures made me have some questions. 

Why do American girls love to get married?
Is the US a really heaven for women? (unlike Korea since Korean women have lots of responsibility after they get married.)
Do US women not get stressed as much as Korean women?

How we met (6)

Read from the beginning! How we met (1) Click!!! James kept saying there was "a woman", and she got angry and he couldn't understand why she was angry at him. I asked him who she was, and James told me he didn't know her, but she got angry at him. The more he talked, the more I couldn't understand what he was talking about and couldn't trust him. Then, I thought, 'Maybe he is talking about what he did while he was gone.' Yes! He was! He was talking about what he was doing when he was gone. So.. when I combined what he was saying... 1. There was a woman. 2. He just met her before I came. 3. She got angry when she saw me coming with him. 4. She poured the drink from her glass on James. 5. James couldn't understand why she was jealous and angry. 6. He got angry, too! That was basically what I collected from drunk James. Hmmmm.... O....ka...y.... I was standing in front of him listening to what he had to say and started to wonder why he tried so hard t...

What Korean people do when they are on a date

Image
Obviously, when Korean people go out on a date, they do the same things as other people such as going to a coffee shop, eating at a restaurant, going to the movies, going to a sport event, etc. However, there are some places where Korean people like to go when they are hanging out with their friends or dating. 1. 노래방( Noraebang) Karaoke Karaoke is a place where you can sing with your friends. Korean people love to sing. Even couples go to noraebang to sing together. 2. Coffee shop As you can see, coffee shops are partitioned. They want to have private tables for them, so lots of coffee shops which are partitioned are popular among couples.  It is like you have your own private space to drink coffee (or make out?). 3. DVD room This is a place where you can watch movies in a very small theater. When you go inside, you choose what movie you want to watch and then watch it in a room. Since DVD rooms can be used as hotels (some people go there to make out and more!), minors can not...
