I woke up around 9:30AM today instead of sleeping in. My host bro and sis were at school, I think that my host dad was at his 한야국 (Hanyakuk - his oriental pharmacy), and my host mom was in bed still. My host mom got up around 11:00AM, and the family was all home an hour later. We had an amazing lunch; mussels, rice, kim, odeng (boiled fish paste), and a spicy seafood mixture. My host father told me that eating mussels in the summer is dangerous, because they contain a small amount of poison. This is apparently the time when mussels are pregnant, and they release poison in order to protect their babies. Eep!
My host bro left after lunch with his friend to go to hagwan...not sure if it was Robot camp or English hagwan, and my host father went to work again. My host sister and I took a walk to a 문방구 (Munbangu - stationery store) near Seonwonju (our school). It was cute! We talked all the way there. My host sister wanted to buy a "Latchhook" set; they call it a "Skill" set. On the way back, we bought some rice snacks, played "Thumb War," and I taught her the Wizard of Oz skip.
It took us a while to figure out how to do Latchhook, but we looked it up online in our respective languages. We figued it out, and my host sis definitely got used to it. We watched this weird bear cartoon called Baekkum that has no words, so it's pretty convenient for both of us to watch. After that, we watched Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. It's quite cheesy, but I like cheesy hero movies sometimes. After the cheesy hero movie, we watched Fly Boys. It's about the Lafayette Escadrille, a group of young Americans who volunteered for the French military before the U.S. entered World War I. They became the country's first fighter pilots. It's a really good movie! We had started watching it at some other point, so I was pretty determined to finish watching it this time.
