Pretending Royals at Traditional Korean Banquet–2012 Vacation Part 6

Ms. Lee took us to a fancy restaurant to have a traditional banquet. We were being seated in a room with one side glass window facing the stage. We can be loud inside our room without disturbing other guests seeing the show.

4 people share a set of food. It is much easier than passing food from one end of the long table to the other.

Mr. Lee and his brother picked up my husband from the hotel to here before we arrived.

The only things I am familiar with were the vegetable seafood pancake and Korean noodles. Everything is delicious.

Soup is made with seaweed. It looks a little strange so I tasted just a little before going after it. It taste very good.

I forgot to take a picture while having interesting conversations. My husband thought the cold stones were some kind of buns. Sashimi are delicious.

BBQ pork and fish.

Korean beef is so good.

We can choose noodle or rice. I selected noodle.

Then there were sweet cold drink and frozen persimmons for dessert.

Traditional Korean Dance show

Ms. Lee, Huayu, and Chinese friends.

Guoju Chen, Ludmila, Tatiana，and me.

Looking at some antique after dinner. There is a small exhibition at the front of the restaurant.

Then we play royals. My husband of course picked the emperor's cloth.

Hmmm… I have to find a Queen’s dress. It is so much fun! OMG! I am so fat after a big meal and with this super heavy hair piece. I must go on diet!

King and queen need officers too.

King needs his courts.

And his officer…

OK, we are all back to the present time.

Good night!

Visiting Korean Pressed Flower Club 2–2012 Vacation Part 5

I can over to the classroom after visiting the office and having tea. Ms. Lee and another teacher have already prepared materials for classes.

Equipment such as microwave, UV light, and etc… are all here in the classroom.

I also love the artworks displayed in the classroom. It is too bad that the reflection is terrible. I can’t find any angle to take a picture without reflection. This is the best I can do.

We play jewelry making first. First we glue flowers on the base. Then we put the jewelry base into a bag with silica gel for completely dryness. After dried for 15 – 20 minutes, we brush UV resin on. Place the piece under UV light for 8 minutes. Repeat several times to finish.

Simple pencil holder: First we glue design onto the plastic piece. Then we peel off the protection sheet from Korean paper adhesive. Place the adhesive paper onto design. Place the piece on base and top with cap to finish.

Fan is also protected by adhesive Korean paper.

Ms. Lee treated me with Korean vegetable rice cake. It is very tasty. Slightly sweet but more salty taste.

We ordered Charchiang Noodle for lunch. Korean noodles are very good.

Everyone else arrived in the afternoon finally. They had simple lunch and then we started class.

Making jewelry box. First we brush acrylic medium on the shinny plate. Then we use sponge to drip acrylic color on. We glue flower designs after colors are dried. Then we brush mat clear acrylic sealer two coats.

Everyone is working.

We put finished work together here.

We also went to the stock room to look around. Wow! There are so much materials.
