Did I forget to mention that yesterday I went in the scariest haunted house that I think that I have ever seen. I didn't want to go in by myself because I am a chicken but mum and dad made me. It only cost like a dollar fifty but it was really scary. At one point while you were walking through it you walked on something squishy that felt like a body.
Today we went to one of the old palaces. It was really cool and we got to see the changing of the guard. I think that it would have been really hot for the people in the summer because they wear these big robes with like four layers. After that we went to a couple of shops and then we went for lunch. It was very hard to find somewhere to go for lunch because the food here is so spicy. Everything has red chili's in it. We found somewhere that had a peculiar smell and we ate there. It was quite good. After that we went to look for huge second hand store that is the Beautiful store. We searched for ever and in the end didn't find it. I was kind of sad but that's okay. I think that tomorrow we are going to go to the largest book store in Asia, it is called Bandi & Luni's. I think that it will be really great, that is if we can find it.
Since today is Monday we are going to go out for a kind-of Thanksgiving dinner. It is also mum and dad's anniversary today.
Tomorrow dad is going to go on a tour of the last demilitarized zone in the world. It is of the no man's land between South and North Korea. He is going to go tomorrow morning and mum and I are going to go shopping. I hope that we don't get lost.
Love and red hot chili's

I think my back would break.
We are here in Korea. We landed here landed last night and we had a great day today.
When we got to the airport yesterday we got seats almost right away, we only had to wait like ten minutes. It was a goodflight, one of the women beside me had two seasons of Seinfeld in her bag, and the other woman beside me was kept checking her face in the mirror. We landed in Korea at about 4:oopm, and then we took an hour long bus trip to our hotel which we had trouble finding. Mum and dad made us go out after that, I could have slept right n\then but it was only 6:00pm. We went out for dinner to a Korean hotpot restaurant where they cook your food at your table. We looked around in one of the markets but didn't buy anything, mum got a really weird ice cream cone though. Today we went to the Seoul Historical village, that was its name. There were old houses and the people that worked there didn't clean up garbage, well they did that, but they sat in the houses and wove cloth and ground grain. There were a lotof animals and there was a very cute bunny rabbit in one of the houses. They had kept all of the old houses and they were in really great shape. We saw two performances, one of a singing/drumming group and one of an old man on a tight rope, he kept bouncing up and down and he kept talking, everyone was laughing except for us, because we had no clue what he was saying. We also went to one of the two museums, the second was under construction. In the museum there was a whole was devoted to the different coming of age ceremonies, and part of that was how to better your chances of having a baby boy. There was nothing on how to better your chanced of getting a baby girl. It was a very good museum. It took us an hour and 45 minutes on the subway and on the tourist bus and it took even longer to get back, we stopped for dinner.
We went to a Korean hot-pot restaurant, there was a little stove in the middle of our table and they brought us all kinds of vegetables and sauces and then they brought us some pork, which we cooked on our in-table Que. It was pretty good. We then came back to our hotel and booked for another two nights here.
In the lobby there is a business room where they have two computers and they have wireless Internet. Mu computer won't pick up the wireless network because it is configures differently, and being stupid I forgot to bring my Ethernet cable. I have to use one of the hotels computers and it is almost impossible. I couldn't figure out how to change the keyboard from Korean to English, I have to go to Google and use the drop bar, hoping that somebody else had used blog spot today. They had. This is a very long post and you win a prize ifyouhave lasted and read all of it. Your prize is metaphorical of course, I apologise if you thought that you were going to actually win a prize.

Day 1
We are here in Vancouver. After leaving school and work an hour early, we have arrived in, well I have no idea what to call Vancouver. We have already been for dinner and will be getting up at a normal (for my family) time to go and catch a flight to either Seoul or London. We are hoping that we get to one of those places or we are going to go to Frankfurt. We are staying in the Comfort Inn in Richmond. We have already been to Chapters, I could have spent hours in there, but I bought the October issue of Nylon and Gulliver's Travels and dad got In to the wild. I am planning to do all of my homework on the flight tomorrow I have a lot. It is time to go to bed now though, I have to email you all the URL to this blog and I got up at 6:30 this morning. We are all very tired.
