Eyra's Activities

First: Summer sets in and what is summer without watermelon.^^ 

Well, summer should not always be associated with watermelon. But, as we enter into the market and our eyes and senses are exposed to this particularly 'summer-friendly' watermelon, we could not but to think that "Oh, it'll be so great to have some". This is when compulsive buyers are the 'happiest' persons on earth. They see something, they buy it.

 (But the wallet says the opposite)

Oh my my.... watermelon is soooooooo expensive in Korea. I mean, how could one watermelon cost as much as roughly 20,000 Won!  Of course, it depends on the so-called 'quality' & how much it weighs. 

The heavier the more expensive it gets.

But still, it is roughly 15,000 Won to say the least.^^

So we were so excited when we found out that watermelon in Ansan (a city 30km away from Seoul^^) cost  only 8000 at the most. Most of them. Although I came to wonder whether they were the real ones. hahaha.^^ Of course they are real. It's just the quality is not that good compared with the ones sold at high-end and upscale food markets in Seoul. 

But, hey...it IS yummy and freshly delicious, especially after being refrigerated. 

But, do I have to go as far as Ansan just to buy watermelon when we want some?^^ :)

Second: Eyra got a class-project to bring a sprout^^, a flower, a plant, a bush, or any herbs to the class. The whole class would make a kind of living laboratory where they can watch and learn all kinds of plants right in their very own class. 

The thing was that: they will move the plant into a plastic bottle cut in half so as to make it into a new 'vase' for them. Oh well, I don't know how to explain it, I know that I should've just taken the picture of it when it was done. Eyra got it delivered to school already.

So, these are the pictures that we took when they were still in their original state.

I learned that one small plant or flower in a small vase like this costs around 2,000 to 2,500 Won. 

Now, that's comparatively inexpensive considering how well and neatly nurtured hey are.
