Kid's Cafe
Kelcclay
Our latest fieldtrip at ECC was to Kid’s café! We have actually gone before and the kids loved it. However, the one we went to before was about half the size of the one we went to today! It was crazy amazing!


Kid’s café is a mom’s ultimate paradise. One half of the café is a really chic café with chairs, private rooms, a salad bar, etc. you can order coffee and food and just chill out. The other half of the café is a gigantic playroom for kids!



Now, you’re probably wondering, would a mom really let her kids run off and play by themselves? Well, of course! Why, wouldn’t they considering that the whole playroom is wired with CCTV cameras and any wherever you sit in the café area you can see a live feed of all the cameras on TVs. Pretty awesome right?


Now, the concept of these cafes is kind of like Chucky Cheese on crack. This particular café was especially awesome because it had both a train .....

 .....and paddle boats!


 



There was also:

A Merry-Go-Round!


 
Air Hockey



DDR


Costume Room


Silly Mirrors


Video Games


A sandbox


Ball Pit


Trampoline


Music Room


 Supermarket


And even a puppet show!


 
Overall the kids had a blast and it was a really fun morning^^

Dream Forest aka North Seoul Forest
Kelcclay

So yesterday my school took a field trip to Dream Forest in North Seoul. I’ve driven by a billion times to and from my way into central Seoul but I’ve never gotten a chance to go! Needless to say, I was pretty excited to get to go and see what it was all about!



So we headed out in the morning and got there, took a walk around the grounds (also known as the hour we take pictures to market the school….) and then we headed over to this open space to do a sort of field day with the school’s gym teacher. Sanggye ECC also came on the field trip so of course it was Junggye team and Sanggye team all day. Lol.



The Sanggye ECC students and teachers had put this huge orange star on their backs before they got here, probably to tell the students apart, but it totally looked like a scene right out of Dr. Suess’s Snitches… You know, “stars upon thars” Yeah, it totally was.




If you have no clue what I’m talking about… check it out below! Lol.




Anyways, back to my story.



We had a sort of field day with racing, obstacles and lots of different games. The kids had a blast!


Then it was time for lunch. Ever wonder what a Korean mom packs for her kid? Check it out!









After lunch we headed up this huge hill to get to the observatory tower.


We had to go up this long hill, then steps inside the building


then a slanted elevator then a normal elevator…



but hey, we made it!!



I was pretty excited because the observatory was used in a really famous Korean drama called IRIS so it was decorated in an IRIS theme. YAY! I love me some T.O.P.


Afterwards it was time to head home.


I really wish we had gotten to see more of the park because there are a lot of really nice trails and they have a deer sanctuary and a moonlight waterfall and a lot of other nice areas but I think it would have been too difficult with the kids so I will DEFINENTLY be going back to the dream forest in the near future before the leaves drop! YAY!


It’s really nice, living in a HUGE city, to have so much nature surrounding me. That is actually one of the things I like the most about Seoul: The fact that they have incorporated so much nature into the city that you can always find a nice retreat. Places like the dream forest allow me to escape the concrete city and helps me to relax. And seeing how it’s not too far from where I live, I will be going back very very soon!
