Snowboarding lesson in Japan with Shannon but the snow wasn’t that good.

     So, on the first day, we got up and went to the Japanese restaurant for the buffet breakfast. The breakfast was good, and I got to eat white bread. Then we all went on the gondola and then snowboarded all the way down again, but the snow wasn’t good. Then I had to go to my snowboard lesson. I was in level five, and I got  a private lesson because there was only one other snowboarder taking lessons and she was just learning how to snowboard, and the snow was kind of crusty today. My teacher was named Shannon. First, we had to choose lunch and I chose a pork rice bowl. Shannon chose a cheeseburger. Then we took the gondola up to the top and did lots of black runs. Shannon said I was good at turning and going fast. Then he started teaching me how to switch which means snowboarding with the foot you’re not used to forward. He started off by teaching me how to do a 360 on a small slope, and then we started doing them on steeper hills and off the sides of walls. At around 12:30, we ate lunch. For some reason they put the cheese on top of the cheese burger. The pork bowl was very good and came with miso soup and some vegetables too. We kept on practicing switch, and by the end of the day I could connect two or three turns backwards. For dinner, we had a special sushi dinner which was very fancy. Acadian did not want to come so he got a ham sandwich and played video games the rest of the time until we got back. The sushi was very good and a chef made us smoked sashimi, soup, crab, and many other interesting dishes. For dessert there was a mochi like sweet and green tea. They also gave us round bottles filled with mountain water. THE END!!!!!!!!!

    That's cool that you're learning how to ride switch.

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...
