Ser mãe de uma bebé ocidental na Coreia é o mais perto que já tive de ser famosa.
Toda a gente olha, ri, sorri, tira fotos, mete conversa. Na Coreia as pessoas adoram crianças e no meio de tudo isto só há uma coisa que me irrita solenemente: as velhotas Coreanas (ajumas) têm a mania de tocar na bebé a todo o custo! Se a L. está a dormir tentam acordá-la para lhe verem os olhos grandes, tocam-lhe nos pés, tiram-lhe o chapéu para lhe verem a cara, afastam-me o cabelo para a verem melhor. Eu gosto que os amigos lhe peguem mas quando um estranho faz uma coisa destas fico em pânico! Não estou habituada a isto, não gosto e bloqueio porque não sei mandá-las parar em Coreano. Mas parece que um pouco de linguagem universal pode ajudar.
Foi por isso que me parti a rir quando vi este vídeo.
Que vos parece se eu começar a fazer isto? ^^ Kkkkkk...
Conseguem imaginar-me a gritar: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Don't touch my baby!!!"

If you have a western baby in Korea, you're like pop star. Everyone loves babies in Korea. People will smile at you, talk to you, they'll wanna see your baby and take photos.
Just beware of ajumas! The Korean old ladies (ajumas) will reach into you and pull off your baby's hat or blanket to see the baby. Others will purposely try to wake your baby up by touching her feet / face or giving her a pinch while she's sleeping. I hate when they do this! It can feel pretty invasive and annoying to have your child man-handled by every little old lady that walks by. I know that usually it's not anything more than good-natured curiosity and maternal caring but I don't feel comfortable with strangers touching my baby. The problem is I don't know how to tell them to "back off" in Korean and that's why this video made laugh!
Can you imagine me screaming like that? ^^ Kkkkk...
I think I might do it just to see their faces!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Don't touch my baby!!!!"
