Hello, people!
We’re at the second episode!
And in the gift giving month!
Ro vs. Ko.
Tadadam intro
I am Ioana and because we’re in the month of December,
today we’ll talk about presents or seonmul.
I am Vevy and firstly we’ll talk about presents in Korea.
In Korea, there are various types of presents such as :
business presents, new-homed presents,
official holidays presents, which are given out within the family,
birthday presents obviously and gratitude presents,
when someone has made you a favor and you want to thank him for what he did.
In Romania the business presents are rare but nice,
and we also have the new-homed presents!
Welcome, neighbor!
T-Thanks...
Also in Romania there is a habit that on official holidays presents should be given out,
but we don’t give them only for the relatives but also for our close friends!
In Romania you get presents on your birthday! [the shock! :lol:]
But in Eastern Europe, where Romania is also located,
in the Christian – Orthodox countries we get presents on name days.
Because here we have presents after presents after presents!...
In Korea the presents are offered with both hands,
while in Romania it has to come along with a flower.
So present’, present’ absolutely present! Wait.
Both in Romania and Korea the number of the flowers matters
As you may know, giving out an even number of flowers
brings bad luck.
But there is another superstition in Korea,
that you can’t give knives as a present.
Or scissors,
because it means that you’re cutting the ties [weird evil laugh, WW3 sounds]
Koreans are known for the way of offering presents,
usually the present is of a well-known brand and the packaging
matters more than the actual object.
Also, you should never grant a present that is more expensive than the receiver can afford,
and not even dare to open it in front of him. [Only if he/she tells you to]
But in Romania it’s very nice to open it in front of the receiver
(The RECEIVER opens the present in front of the RECEIVER?!?)
and thank him.
But it’s not so nice to know the price of it,
and neither to be told of how much it had cost
So you know, scratch well the price label
with marker, unstick.
But you know, there’s also the fruit basket!
Thanks.
I wonder if we’d put all of them together, what will turn out..?
Dunno...Let's see!
We’re in the month of December! One that’s full of holidays
so we’ll start with wishing you a “Happy Anniversary” for Romania’s National Day!
“Happy Anniversary”!!!
Happy Holiday for Saint Nick’s Day!
Merry Christmas!
And because we won’t see eachother until next’ year…
Happy New Year!
Bye Bye!
Be careful with the sarmale!
And the caltabosh!
And the sausages!
Bye~ (Boom shaka laka hey!)
We’re in the month of presents!
You’re. an. Idiot. ~That too~
S.K. Fill~ (awkward snortish laugh)
Something, a pot...
You took that!
You’ve hit the lamp!
(awkward giggle)
While at us, it doesn’t matter with how many hands you hand it out, so.
While in Romania it doesn’t matter with how many hands you give it.
If you have more...
It has to be reaaaaaally nicely wrapped
Koreans are well-known foooor…
leave it like this.
New Years? oke... (aarghh!!)
And there are plenty of holideys.
Holideys... ???
But on holideys we eat a sarma.
Careful with sarmale. (WINK~!)
Eh, it’s ok.
The days, AUGH holidays! F**k, f**k, f**k you.
F**k, f**k, f**k.
