Things Nobody Tells You About Marrying a Korean 🇰🇷 (From a Filipina married to one, and is together for 8+ years) PART 2 this is our shoe closet in our house in the Philippines (my husband to made sure we build one) You'll probably have a shoe room. Or at least a dedicated shoe area before entering the house. Outdoor shoes inside? Absolutely not. 😂 You'll start craving Korean food. Then one day... You'll realize you've learned how to cook most of your favorites. You'll hear "ppali ppali" a lot. Fast service. Fast delivery. Fast internet. Fast everything. 😂 Living between two cultures taught me something. You don't have to choose one over the other. You simply learn to appreciate the best of both. 🇵🇭 🇰🇷 Your in-laws might become your biggest supporters. The small wins you celebrate... they celebrate too. This is my MIL, crying when I found out I passed my Real Estate Broker Board Exam 😭 I gained another set of parents. Different language. Different culture. Same love for family. 🤍 Some government services surprised me. Experiencing different support systems made me appreciate learning how other countries do things. My daughter is receiving government allowance until she's 2... Pati ako, damay sa ayuda nila! You stop thinking of your husband as "the Korean guy." He's just... Your husband. The one who fixes things. Makes you believe everything will work out. Helps with your daughter. Builds businesses with you. 🤍 Your child grows up with two homes. The Philippines. Korea. And both feel like home. 🥺
