1st Korean Summer Break

Summer break was filled with camps, performances, out-of-town trips and a loooot of reading at home.

Science, Math and Arts on Korean Liberation Day!

The highlight of our summer, I guess, is our Suwon overnight at a friend's place. P's friend took us to see the Gwacheon Science Museum and Seoul Land. We spent almost twelve hours in the area, almost half at the Museum and the rest is at the outdoor amusement park. I am not really a bit fan of amusement parks so most I hardly took any photos from there.

Since it was a national holiday, there were a lot of special activities going on in the museum. There was even an international math conference along with an art exhibit related to math. It is actually International Congress of Math which we had no idea about before. All I can say is it's a cool geeky thing. hahahaha..I just hope that P had something taken away from that experience since he met one of the exhibitors who had a written a book that looks like a guide in creating cool geometric stuff. That part of math is all I can dig. 

The photos below are the other art/math stuff we found interesting.

Korean Kids Lifeskills books

I found some new books that P has been using with his Korean drop-in tutor. They used to have some Korean language for kids which are at beginners' level. It look like first grader's book but just a bit less daunting as the ones that they usually use at school which usually consist of a two books per set.

On the other hand, the ones below are a bit different. These are basically life skills in keeping safe as a kid in Korea. The pages were illustrated in through comics which children can find interesting and easily relate to.
