Yes, I've started a blog.
Apparently, it's what you're supposed to do when you become a mum.
So how will my blog be different from that of other thousands of mums out there?
Maybe I can shed fresh perspective to Australian mums by being a recently migrated Korean mum, who spent her childhood in America, adolescent years in China, and adult life in Korea? Who knows?
My multicultural background has made me kind of a unique character.
This is probably because I don't quite understand the social norms of the country I'm living in. For example, Koreans are supposed to show respect for elders and people with authority by agreeing with everything that they say and doing whatever they are asked to do. But I understood none of this since in America, I learned that everyone was equal and how you should have self confidence to say what you feel. But thankfully, many of the elder people I met were more amused by my attitude than offended. Although I was quite an oddball, I made friends who accepted me for who I am and embraced my 'originality'.
I hope this originality will make this blog enjoyable and bring us closer, as I reveal my life as the only Korean living in this house.
