Visiting Old Friends

Ethan is still in South Korea and from the sounds of it, he’s having a great time.

In particular, he has enjoyed spending time with his old friends from preschool and kindergarten. Ethan has known some of those kids since he was about 4 years old and Dong Eun and I are also friends with their parents, so it’s been a reunion of sorts for Ethan.

He has really enjoyed his time in Korea because there are many places to go and things to see and do. He loves riding the bus and subway there so that’s likely part of the reason why he’s having such a great time.

He has been to Lotte World, which is a big amusement park in Seoul and he has visited Lotte World Tower, a 123 floor skyscraper.

But it seems he’s happiest with family and friends.

He has been making videos while there and he has been practicing new origami designs, too.

LC Short Response

This is going to be a shorter response as I was working on finalizing Learning Plans and Budget requests. It sounds like Ethan is having a wonderful time reconnecting with old friends and family. I wonder if he will have discussions with them about his experiences with home learning and self designing? I imagine he will be curious about what his friends are learning in math and science in Korean schools.

I share Ethan’s joy in riding well run subway and busses in cities. I wonder if he is planning the routes and what sorts of questions or observations he is making.
