Lotte Folk Museum and Lotte World

So another slow start to the day as we needed to touch base with our post adoption social worker who happily informed us that the guest house was very busy over the next two weeks - which we had already worked out based on the number of families that we have already seen here. We are not 100% sure of when or if we will get to meet with Mrs Kim but we know that we have Kim's foster mother booked in for Friday afternoon and they are still trying to organise Han's (although it is very likely that we will not get to see her this trip). We will be also get to view the boys files on Friday afternoon as well.

So after organising things with the agency we headed to the subway and off to Jamsil to the folk museum at Lotte. For Ian and I it was our forth visit, and the second for the boys, but we all still loved it. The museum has incredible dioramas and models of Korean history and culture. Our journey through the museum was slowed at times as we had to let groups of kindergarten children pass us with lots of waving and Hello's and Hi's as they did!

We spent lunch watching the ice skaters at the rink - little girls having their figure skating lessons, boys having their speed skating lessons and young couples out on a date. Fun to watch - with lots of giggles as you watch the tough men trying to impress their girls -- by falling over!

After lunch we went to Lotte World - a theme park like Disneyland but much smaller. The three boys went on the scary rides and I happily held the bags and waited! I went on one ride - which the boys thought was very mild - and screamed the whole way! The boys loved the Spin Drop - a huge tower that drops to the ground!

Finally a yummy tea at Hongik - bean sprout and pork stir fried at the table with noodles, as well as the usual extras of kimchi, rice and lots of water for Ian and Kim! Then back home to collapse - well for me and Kim at least - Ian is in the kitchen working and Han is in the hall tricking!!!
