Rhea Liang That would be the patriarchy distancing from him as a “man” If we can label him as other we can all go about our business.

Rhea Liang Once upon a time, Australia was a community. Now it is an economy. Really depressing.

When something occurs that is wildly out of our expectations and experience, it is normal to attempt to fit it into your view of the world. Your biases
What we really all need to do is hold space for the grief, and await the expert evidence and opinion.
Speculation and inserting…

'A Twosome Place' is like a Korean Starbucks because there's an outlet every couple of blocks, but better because they use TWG teas (TWG Tea Official). Obvious English innuendo joke aside, I couldn't leave Korea without having an iced Earl Grey with a sweet treat. 😋

We needn't have worried about finding Gyeongbokgung palace. Just follow the noisy 'changing of the guard' parade. And then wait patiently for those moments you can pretend there aren't hundreds of other tourists trying to get the same sunset shot 🤣.

But wait, there's more- Korean trains stop so exactly (within centimetres!) that they have stickers so pregnant women know which doors to board to be closest to the pregnancy seat. ❤️🤰🏻

Stupendous day in Seoul today- clear blue skies, 26ºC (!) and all the spring flowers and foliage popping. 😍🌸

Coco Galle Rhea Liang Dr Mary-Ann Fox❄️ Was in NICU with 1st child. Saw the head of department give a new mother quite a blast for not breastfeeding.

In terms of impact, I'm male, it wasn't directed at me, & I'd rate its impact on a par with the first time I got a dressing down from the Chief Justice of the Fed Court.

Roshana 🦴 Rhea Liang Motherhood is persistently humbling.

Rhea Liang Dr Mary-Ann Fox❄️ Coco Galle I feel the same 'tone' when people say caesarian section births are somehow a 'failure' on the mother's part... No dummy, your fat head was too big for her pelvis. Just be grateful you're alive!!

I was dubious about the newly relaunched HiKR attraction, sponsored by Tourism Korea and heavily aimed at the younger generation, but it's actually great fun. Gorgeous exhibition about modern hanbok culture in Kpop, and they hand out sooo many freebies...

Followed a grey worshipper out of the grey subway station to the Seoul Jogyesa Buddhist temple; found an absolute riot of colour in preparation for Buddha's birthday next month. (Also a riot of sound; the huge number of worshippers spills outside, so the services are amplified++)

Rhea Liang Helen Hawkins Love this. Think it fits for any craft speciality. One of the things I try to get over to our fellows is not about how to do something complex (although we b a teach this) but when NOT to do a procedure…

YUM! (Would eat the whole chicken, slowly but surely, very very surely)... 😍😂

Rhea Liang Have you noticed the difference in gender expectorations in Channel 7's newsreaders' smiles? The men smile normally, whilst the women are asked to(?) smile like they're looking lovingly down at their first born and glancing up. It drives me mad. It's an almost submissive posture.
