My Audible Original audiobook is available for pre-order right now & will be released on 1/23/20! This is esp meaningful for me as my dad helped with stories from his childhood before he passed away in 2018. * Maya loves to cook with her grandmother - her Halmunee - to connect with the rich family history associated with each dish, a history Maya's mom would prefer stayed in the past. While cooking with Halmunee, something remarkable happens - the food creates such a strong memory that Maya and Halmunee are transported back in time through the memory itself. Halmunee explains that the women in her family have the gift of time travel through food and Maya can do it too, if she practices. While eating her way through the past, Maya meets Jeff: another young time traveler who brings her to the Golden Orchard, a garden of memories filled with the trees of so many people's lives. Maya learns that time moves in ways she couldn't imagine and sometimes family keep their memories secret to protect the ones they love. * I hope that you'll give this a listen & enjoy my book. And don't worry, there's a pug in it too! * #floraahn #audibleoriginal #audiobook #audible #thegoldenorchard #korean #koreanfood #koreanfamily #igreads #igbooks #instagrambooks #instagramreads https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KJ21Ol8fU/?igshid=1omnb9dvxbj5t

Motherly Love As was previously said, Hyun (which means bright and intelligent) is really happy as the mother of 12 year old Mi Sun and generally, now, with her life. Hyun went through major heartbreak and earth shattering pain, after the death of her best friend and husband, June-hoon. He died in a plane crash; his death left her devastated. To make matters worse, because she was about to give birth to the couple’s first child, he was traveling alone. June desperately wanted to be present for the birth of their daughter; he was In route when the plane went down. Were it not for the love and protection of her brothers, everything could have become unbearable for her. As it were, her tribe of brothers nurtured her back to life, even as they maintained busy lives as entertainers. Today, her daughter adores her and tries to be just like her mom. Stay tuned for more of her story and to meet her phenomenal family. #mothersanddaughters #adoration #bestfriend #motherlove #family #support #brotherlove #eternallove #koreanfamily #barbiethelook #barbie #brenovatown #brenovablog #brenovatownresidents (at Brenova Town) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRpqCeMJkqK/?utm_medium=tumblr

my asian grandma

my mum was adopted when she was 7 years old in 1972, she had a wonderful life in comparison to the 7 years of abuse and fear she succumbed to before she was saved by a young couple called Mr and Mrs Park, who had tried to have a child unsuccessfully for ten years prior to meeting my mum, who was ever since called Hyorin (or Heather) Park. she later married at became Heather Byrne, wife of a young irish lad straight out of university and keen to start a family straight away. That lead to my brothers being born an of course, me. I never felt particularly out of place, because well, i wasnt. i had blonde hair and green eyes with fair skin to match, im as white as they get, trust me. but there was one time when we flew over to korea to visit my grandparents and as we walked the streets of Samdongmyeon with my family, an ajhumma walked up to my grandma, they were obviously familiar with each other as she introduced us all to her as her daughter and grandchildren, and the woman laughed. she thought it was impossible that we were family, she gasped out in what i could only remember with my at the time limited korean to be something along the lines of “but look at them, Hyojin! that little girl has green eyes and white skin, she cant be your real granddaughter can she?” i remember my halmeoni explaining that when she said she adopted her only child when she lived in england with her now late husband, and that my white skin and green eyes were yellow and brown respectively in nature, but not in looks. of course i had no idea what she was talking about, i just wanted to walk on so we could get some raspberry bingsu like eomma promised earlier. growing up i spoke korean with my mother, and my halmeoni before she died when i turned 14. the funeral was before my new school year so my first day at a new school was spent practically asleep after two days of travel. i never told anyone at school about my heritage, and where my mother came from, what languages i speak, because i thought my friends would think im just a koreaboo obsessed with kpop and completely crazy. dont get me wrong, i love a good Jay Park song, and i will admit watching k dramas without subtitles before my best friend is pretty great, but thats about it for my exposure to korean pop culture. i used to hate my korean family, and walking around with my halmeoni in Yeosu, scared to hold her hand and talk wit her in her own language, scared because i thought people judged me. two out four times i have been to korea, i refused to even speak korean for the full month i was there. it was only after my halmeoni died, i realised how stupid i had been. the korean culture is beautiful, expressive albeit slightly conservative but incredibly interesting nonetheless. i barely realised that not all families have their food extra spicy and wear slippers in the house and have kimchi and gochujang with pretty much everything, eve fish and chips. (sidenote, kimchi with chips is really really good, try it.) i need to embrace this other half of my culture. so to start, ill introduce myself on tumblr again. 

Hi, my name is Charlotte Byrne, i am 17 and i live in england and am in sixth form. My Korean name is Park Chaerin, i am 18 in Korean age and my favourite drama is Legend of the blue sea, its seriously underrated and Lee Minho is life. i Dont have a Korean keyboard on my mac so i really should have written this on my phone to demonstrate that my Korean is still fairly good after a year of not atually being immersed in the culture/actually being in Korea. My family are from Busan originally, but my Halmeoni moved to Samdangmyeon when she moved back to Korea when i was 2, My dad speaks very liited Korean, although he does try, its quite funny to watch. I call my brothers Oppa when im feeling nice or want money, and my little great cousins call me noona which makes me very happy as none of my friends do (bot that i expect them to!) and i speak Korean with my mother and havea habit of speaking Korean when im surprised or angry. For example if you know me irl you know i like to shout AIGUU!! when im tired (its aigu not aigo in the south, my satoori is actually pretty strong for some reason.)

no body will read this, its just nice to be open with myself. sorry lol.

Chaerin.

Fun fact, i prefer my korean name but my school doesnt have me registered as Chaerin so when i joined everybody called me charlotte and now im stUCK.

Edit: 안녕!! 박채린입니다 :))) 엄마니, 할마니, 할아버지, 아버지, 일오빠 이오빠 그리고 삼오빠 그래 마지막 채영언니 사랑해요 😘
