Patpingsu + Homework

Patpingsu (팥빙수) is accompanying Eyra in doing her homework. 

The other day I picked her up from school and since it was a bit hot, we decided to have patpingsu at Paris Baguette, near our home. While waiting for the ice to be served, Eyra took out her homework..and began doing it right there on the spot. 

So, we ended up spending an hour to 'indulge' ourselves into the freshness of patpingsu. We have this fruit patpingsu with pat (red beans paste). 

In less than an hour, she finally did her homework. 

Now, let's start digging in, Eyra.

You deserved it.

Eyra's Homework: Neighborhood Observation

Eyra got a homework telling her to take a look around where she lived and find someone to interview. Well, there are lots of shops with their own owners to talk to.  

But, Eyra set her eyes on one Korean rice cake shop (떡집). She was a bit nervous at first because she did not know how to start the conversation. But, of course she had it jotted down on her note as instructed in the homework.

I just accompanied her to do the interview in Korean language, of course. 

Greeted by a warm smile from Shin ajeossi--the owner and the maker of the tteok.

One of the things we learned is that he works very hard from early in the morning until late at night. 

He loves his job and he is a father who loves his kids, too.

That's why..he has a big heart to welcome Eyra.

We loved the fact that he's such a nice person and down to earth.

As for Eyra, she learned how to 'approach' people and how to interview.

oh, what a homework. but..it's a good one.

we became friends with those living in our neighborhood.
