Hi, friends! When I visited South Korea, I met Eugene and her family. Eugene is a fourth grader who attends an international school in Seoul. This means she studies both in English and in Korean. Here is more information from our interview about her life!
I typically eat kimchi eggs for breakfast, bulgogi bibimbap for lunch, and some form of jjigae or ramen for dinner. As a reminder, kimchi is a spicy cabbage that is fermented which means it lasts a long time but also has a strong smell. Bibimbap is a rice and side dish bowl, bulgogi are thin beef slices, and jjigae is stew, my favorite being sundubu jjigae, or tofu stew.
I live in an apartment in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. It has three rooms: one office for my mom, one room for me and one room for my parents. We have a big kitchen with two refrigerators because one is used only for our kimchi.
I help set the table and take out the garbage.
My father is a banker and my mother is a stay-at-home mom.
