EPISODE 1 : OBLIGATORY JEJU ISLAND JOURNEY

Our drama began in high school. Brought together by our mutual, nerdy love of anime plus a dramatic haircut, during our 12 years together we slowly progressed (devolved?) into watching live-action South Korean dramas, or K-dramas. Eventually, our interest in Asian culture led us to take the leap and move abroad for an international teaching job for Hannah, and an enviable new career in house husband-ry for Ben. As it is “a truth universally acknowledged” that all K-dramas must have an episode on South Korea’s vacation island, the latest installment of our G-drama (Greaves drama) unfolds here on beautiful Jeju, in the midst of the East China Sea…

EPISODE 4: JEJU NIGHTS

Sometimes, you just have to spend all day making a fire pit. Then, you gotta burn something.


A newly-completed firepit was the sight that greeted us teachers as we disembarked from the bus during the second week of our training. The firepit was a) impressive in its workmanship, b) a huge surprise considering no one had even the hint of an idea that Ben and Don would be building one, and c) a testament to what two house husbands can accomplish when the entertainment options of dish-washing, clothes-folding, and vaccuuming have all been completely exhausted. (Not to mention that Ben had no computer or X-box 360...) The firepit's becoming a fun gathering place, and a permanent reminder that Ben and Don will probably do anything for you during the day if you only pay them.
