Around The World - South Korea

Inspired by Owlet's Worldly Wednesdays, we've begun our own journey around the world.  Each week we will pick a country at random in which to immerse ourselves.
Our first trip was to South Korea. 
We made passports and plane tickets, plotted our route on the world map, then flew there in our private jet.


Once arrived the girls coloured their flags and did some research using National Geographic Kids website.  We've learnt how to say Hello in Korean, listened to Korean music, eaten Kimchi and shopped at a local Korean supermarket for some snacks.  The girls made paper dolls and dressed them in traditional hanbok and also made a  Sam Taeguk Fan.
After eating our snacks we watched an impressive film called "House of Flying Daggers" which we were led to believe was a Korean film, but it wasn't after all. No matter, it was still a great film and we all enjoyed the story and the martial arts.
On our last night in South Korea we watched traditional dances and Korean cartoons courtesy of You Tube, and looked at some beautiful images of the countryside and city of Seoul on Google Earth. South Korea is definitely one place we'd love to see in real life!
not all too happy about spicy Kimchi, the girls picked out some other Korean snacks
more food and the girls' scrapbooks

  1. Hello Travellers!

    Make sure you drop into Clarabel College when you're on your way to Holland. We can make poffertjes together and speak Dutch!
