What's Happening in Our Neck of the Woods

What's going on Gizmo? Do you see something out the window?


 Holy cow! There's a zoo out in the alleyway!







The kindergartens in Korea really overdo it sometimes. For their art show, they treated the kids to a little "zoo." It consisted of a badger, a spider monkey, some rabbits, some turtles, a porcupine, a himalayan cat, a dalmation puppy, a coati, an iguana, lots of assorted birds, and a pony. Of course Korea is all about the photo op, so the kids only posed on the pony rather than going on rides.

The art show included a Christmas tree, nice!

Just a note - I wasn't sure if everyone knew this or not - we live across the street from the "kindergarten". Regular schooling for kids here starts in first grade so to give the kids a chance to socialize (some even offer language and art classes) you can enroll your kiddos into privatized education. The kids across the street (apart from playing with zoo animals) sing, play the recorder, and basically run around wild.

  1. Wow! I have missed out on a lot of blogs. Great pics as usual and Gizmo looks so beautiful with her fur growing back. The cold weather has arrived. I experienced the first snow fall last weekend in Minneapolis. We still have some leaves on our trees but they too are falling fast! Thanks for the updates. Love, Mommy
