Botanical Gardens Field Trip

So, Children's Day is on May 5th, so our school tried to plan some "Children's Day activities." We failed to come up with anything since Children's Day is a day that kids just spend with their parents and they get money as presents. There's nothing to do in order to commemorate Children's Day. So, we decided to go on a field trip!

We went to this really cool botanical gardens, a little south of Seoul. There, the kids got to see a lot of plants, fed rabbits, pet puppies, touched tadpoles and frog eggs, made gochujang (hot pepper paste), and potted a plant to take home. It was really neat and the kids were soooo well-behaved. 0.0 I was shocked.

Nothing like a rousing game of rock, paper, scissors to make the 40 minute bus ride fly by...

The kids were also amused by getting me to read their Korean names off their placards
