Hello, hello, I’m relaunching my first Tumblr blog. It’s now called: ASIA HIGH FIVE! ^_^ I originally started my first Tumblr blog in January 2010 as “nicolekathrin.tumblr.com”. I would collect anything cool from the internet. For example viral campaigns, new social media networks, cool websites. Back then during my Digital Media studies, I was/am totally obsessed with that. “nicolekathrin.tumblr.com” turned into “supermemorybox” and “supermemorybox” turned into “ASIA HIGH FIVE” “ASIA HIGH FIVE” is anything and everything asia-related. K-Pop, Fashion, cool gifs & photography. It’s inspirational, cool and happy reblogging stuff! It’s also stuff I don’t want to post on my own personal blog “niciseoul.com”- my mom follows me here as well… Check it out, you will know what I mean ;) Nicole x

“nicolekathrin.tumblr.com” turned into “supermemorybox” and “supermemorybox” turned into

“ASIA HIGH FIVE”


“ASIA HIGH FIVE” is anything and everything asia-related. K-Pop, Fashion, cool gifs & photography. It’s inspirational, cool and happy reblogging stuff!
It’s also stuff I don’t want to post on my own personal blog “niciseoul.com”- my mom follows me here as well…

Here are some unique, handmade, asia-related stuff. And you don’t even have to move from your couch. You can buy everything online. Just click on something of your interest, and you will be directly linked to the shop! Hope there’s something you like too! (Damn.. I wish I had all that time to sit back and create handmade stuff..)

EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE ON A DIET RIGHT NOW. I’ve barely heard sentences like “I’m on a diet”, “I HAVE to workout” or “I HAVE to be skinny” in Germany. If you’re on a diet, you do what you have to do. Besides, it is considered to be a personal issue, so you don’t really want everyone to know about your weight loss attempt(s). Here in Korea it seems to be a different story. One of my cousins weighs just 46 kilos and she is 176 cm tall. Now, nobody ever tells her that she should eat more, they just compliment her and they love her so-called “v-line” (in short: a very pointy chin. Read more about it here by thegrandnarrative). I don’t think she’s anorexic or something. But I also don’t think it’s normal to eat 2-3 spoons of rice in the morning, thats it - then a small dinner. Another cousin of mine is really chubby, like 90 kg at 172 cm(?) and something she has to hear every single day is: “you’re fat”, “lose weight”, “don’t eat that”.. EVERY single day. Oh! and by the way she is pregnant! Nearly every magazine is featuring a “deadline diet”, “summer body diet”, “bootcamp diet” and my mailbox is being spammed by those types of mails. Even my Facebook newsfeed is filled with diet-related status-updates by friends who live in Korea. I know it is a good thing to take care of your body and health. But here I don’t believe they just want to look “healthy”.. It never got to the extent that I was irritated by it.Seriously, why is everyone so obsessed with their looks in Korea?
