Small talk) Do you have siblings?

Q. Do you have siblings?

Yes, I have an older brother and a sister. I'm the youngest. when I was young, we used to fight. Technically, I got attacked by my siblings. Because they were much older than me. I have a big age gap with my siblings. But, after we grew up, we got closer and we are supporters of each other. Now they are kind to me.  We live close but we all are tied up with work, so, we just see once or twice a year.

Q. What do you have for desserts in Korea?

I would say Korean traditional desserts are rice cakes and ground ice. We mainly have rice cakes on special holidays and ground ice in summer. My grandmother used to make rice cakes herself in my kid's time, but now it is hard to see people make them. It's because the process of making rice cakes is so complicated. On the other hand, the ground ice is called Bing-Su. This is a kind of melting ice cream. So, we order one bowl and stick our spoons in the iced water. We all eat together. It is natural to Korean. I think we are used to eating it that way. But, I'm afraid that it looks so dirty and unsanitary to some foreigners.
