Ice Skating @ Kwangwoon University

Now kids, let's get started. First, those in kindergarten should be in the front and tag along the ski skating instructor of today. Freya, being the smallest one, was in the lead. 

It was Freya's first time ever on ice rink...let alone having any prior experiences of ice skating. But to my surprise, she was eager to do it..though at first...she kept on holding tight on the handrail. 

As for her sister, it was her 3rd time. She's lucky that she got her previous ice skating lessons thanks to her school's program. 

Just look at the kids on their lessons on how to ice skate. They were the kids of multicultural families (except us^^) in Korea. Most of them have multicultural backgrounds: either from their Mom or Dads. 

This is our weekend activity where kids from Korea and other nationals meet and get along together to learn about each other through various activities: This wee: ice skating.

How great it is that this ice rink is just a 15 minute ride by bus or 25 minute ride (including the walking part^6) by subway from home. 

This young instructor patiently taught the kids about how to scoop and skate. Guess he's pretty patient with the kids of  

I just realized that the helmets the children put on their heads were mostly yellow. 

Eyra and Freya did not seem to be scared or afraid at all. In fact, they kind of enjoyed it.

But, after a a while, Freya just gave up. She insisted on taking the skiing boots all the time. 

As for her sister, she kept on doing it and she pretty much got the hang of it and now I could proclaim that she pretty much nailed it. 

Freya and Eyra: separated by a pane of glass. 

Break-time: we were having some snacks, ramen, chocolate, bread, water, and....oranges. 

I thought that after a break, most of them would feel so tired..but we were wrong, almost all of them tried back on skiing I mean...skating. Eyra, too.  

This is when Eyra showed of f what she could accomplice today. In fact, I thought that this has been one of the best things of being in shape and focused on what the training would bring about. 

She kept on going back and forth and circling the rink for more than 12 times.!!! 

In fact, I should have captured all of the moments. 

She pretty much knew nothing about skating until today....everything seemed so wonderful, she said. She was like flying when she scooped over the ice. 

She was about to fall when I captured this.^^ 

But, as soon as she got off again, she kept on looking for her friends...and it seemed that they get along well.

Toay's program was then sealed in Lotte @ Cheongnyangni.
