Bryce’s paddling and camping trip

Bryce is on the SFS middle school trip led by Outward Bound Korea. Although we haven’t heard from him, a mom at Acadian’s bus stop who I befriended told me about the camp’s Instagram account. Bryce has been rafting, kayaking, and cooking his own meals in Hongcheon. He's attending the camp with his MCDS friend Benji, who is also half Korean. On Monday we saw photos of them learning how to set up a tent. Bryce won’t be back until Friday afternoon. We miss him, especially because he would really appreciate all of the yummy food we’ve been eating. In the third photo, he is cooking mushrooms! You can also see the school bus that he took there. SFS has a whole fleet of them, as Acadian takes a similar bus, and they run a total of 6 different routes throughout Seoul to pick up and drop off campers.

    Bryce is probably the most experienced camper in his group. Maybe Bryce will end up liking mushrooms and convince his dad and brother how delicious they are.

The Temple with Monks and Nuns

Image
By Bryce Mommy and I woke up at five and finished packing up. We left the Paradise Hotel and had to walk in the rain to get to the metro. Then, we rode the metro to a stop, where we got off and walked to the train station. But then we had to wait because Mommy thought she forgot the tickets but then the people in the information center found them for her. Then, we got on the train and I played Minecraft where I mined some sheep. I also watched Star Wars Visions and Arcane. Then, we got off, and took a bus to the town near the temple and then we got a ride from a driver in a van. We went to our room and set up our mattresses. We couldn’t figure out why the key card wasn’t locking the door but later we found out that you need to insert a battery that they provided into the lock. So after that, we went to another building and watched two videos about the monks. After that, we went upstairs and a guy named Mr. Kim taught us about Buddhism and we made necklaces out of one hundred and eight ...

A regular day by Bryce

Image
     Here’s what I do on a regular day at the cottage. First, I wake up at around eight to nine. Then I start doing my thirty minutes of the math workbook that Mommy got for me. Depending on when Mommy gets up to make breakfast, I either do my thirty minutes of my world history book, or do it after breakfast. After I finish my math and my history book, I get to play thirty minutes of Prodigy. Prodigy is a math game where you battle with magical spells and catch monsters. Sometimes I also have to do a blog post like this one. We usually eat lunch at the cottage, but sometimes we go out to eat. Sometimes we go out to the store, called Pick ‘N’ Pay to buy ingredients. Then, we have to exercise. We do twenty push-ups a day, and either swim laps in the pool or run. The pool is very cold because it is not heated. Then I can play Pokémon or Minecraft. During the day, when we have nothing else to do, we build pillow forts and play around with pillows. We have dinner, and on speci...

Busy weekend

Image
On Friday Bryce went to his first high school dance. The theme was Grease, so we made sure he had watched the movie the weekend before. He was out from 7 pm until I picked him up at 11:30 pm. Kyusik's parents arrived that evening, picking up Acadian from soccer practice along the way home. They'll be staying with us for 2 weeks while we are in Taipei for Dave and Tomasz's wedding celebration and will then spend a few days in Yosemite after we return.  Yesterday was insanely busy with Acadian's soccer game, dropping Bryce off for his waterpolo team sleepover, and then heading straight down to Stanford to visit the Rodin sculpture garden, pho at a Vietnamese institution in San Jose, Indian grocery store shopping in Milpitas, and returning to Stanford for a play called Hidden Strawberries about the impact of wildfires on migrant farm workers. The play was written by an Iranian postdoctoral fellow at the School of Sustainability. He is a scientist and playwright and based t...
