Wednesday: Buk Museum and Seokgye

Morning:

I’m starting to see early signs of being able to play with August using an object together. Before this video, we both had ahold of the rope and we’re taking turns tugging on it. When one of us would tug, the other would laugh:

But he was very indifferent to be one dollar beach ball:

We then went for a walk and went to the Buk art museum in the park. We were looking around the museum at the same time as about three dozen girls from Changdong High School. They paid more attention August than the art. 

At one point there were about 10 of them gathered around us. One started speaking English and was quite fluent. It turned out that she had been and exchange student in the United States. In Washington. At Bonney Lake High School. it was kind of cool to talk to her although we didn’t talk for long. 

Before we left, I was feeding August and the students started walking to the entrance to return to their bus. There are 15 to 20 of them surrounding us in this picture, although you can’t really tell: 

Needless to say, August really enjoyed that trip to the art museum. He did spend at least a little time looking at the art:

This was the piece he was looking at:

Here’s the group as they moved outside to leave:

 

After his nap, we took the #9 bus, a bus we had never been on that goes right by our apartment, and went to the Seokgye neighbohood. We ended up walking along a stream. There were a lot of birds and fish to look at:


This was a cool tunnel that the path and stream went though for a couple hundred yards. It is S shaped, so you couldn’t see an entrance for most of the distance. The acoustics were quite nice:


In the evening we walked across to Home Plus and bought August some socks and warm pants. It was also an opportunity to show off his bear hat:
