Fan Mail Package EXPLODOMANIA!

Filed as: Us and Bucheon // Responses: 81

HOLY CRAP DID YOU GUISE EVER SEND US A LOT OF STUFF!

Really, thank you for this all. Christmas in Korea can be kind of lonesome, not being with our families at home, and it being more difficult to partake in Christmas traditions, so these packages and letters are really, really appreciated. So we decided to record the gift opening process, similar to our WTF Foreign Candy Episode, and catch our reactions to some of the stuff.

Let me say this: POLAND REPRESENT! OH MAN! It was so great to receive so much Polish stuff. This is Simon here writing, by the way. You know, when we visited Canada back in October, we spent a lot of time at the Polish supermarket, Starsky, taking in as much as possible. Korea might have a Polish community somewhere, but we’ve never seen it, so getting our hands on Polish soup and candy is almost impossible. Thank you so much!

Now let me say this – Martina writing here – let me just say thank you for being not only so generous, but also so thoughtful. Not only did you send us awesome stuff, but you also sent us great explanations of it all, with lots of “I thought of you when…” messages. Seriously guise. This is so great. Thank you.

Foreign Packages

Foreign Packages of awesomeness

Lastly, we want to apologize to the last batch of fantail that we had taken pictures of, but had lost the pictures to. We’ve been enjoying the stash, especially the Hagel Slag, the Russian Candies, and the Sour Cream and Onion crisps from Israel. We feel terrible for having lost all of the pictures. Really sorry. We’ve taken a picture of all that remains, which isn’t really much, since we’ve been eating lots of it. NOM NOM NOM! The Hagel Slag is especially…special. It’s delicious: we’re just not sure how it’s properly eaten. Just…chocolate sprinkles? Put on toast? Is that how it’s done? Any advice would be appreciated.

Again, thanks everyone. YOU’RE THE BEST!

    You Simon said “lunsj” quite well the first time, actually. It means “lunch” and is said almost the same way, only with a more Norwegian accent:P

    It’s so much fun to watch you two get awesome packages!

    I was wondering though, how do you get them? Like do you have to get them at the nearest post office, are they left outside your door? I’m curious because the mail boxes are obviously too small. I’m also moving to Gimhae in March and would like to have people send me things.

    hi simon and martina ^^ I waned to post a comment about the hagelslag xD
    the kind that you have recieved is a Dutch kind, because:
    1. the name is Dutch. 
    2. the packaging has got a blue ( some sort of a triangle) logo with a weird white looking swirl in it. That’s the logo of one of our local supermarkets :D

    How do you eat it?
    wel you take toast, or a sandwich, or a bun, or a cracker, etc.
    then you put a bit of butter on it, so the chocolate sprinkles will stick to it and wont fall of when you eat it.
    you put the sprinkles on top of the butter and it is finished! yaaay xD
    I hope this helped a bit haha
    ( p.s. I dunno if it was this video or another but I just loved the pronunciation on the word stroopwafels! ^^ isn’t meant as an offence or anything! just liked it haha)
