There was heavy rain in the morning. It couldn't be helped, so my husband and I went to the coex mall. We window-shopped for a while, then we went to the coex aquqrium. He was really absorbed in taking many pictures there. I had never seen the leaf fish until today, so I gazed at them. The sign said the leaf fish is a kind of sea horse. After lunch, it stopped raining. We went to Anguk by train, and we went to Changdeokgung. I guessed that it was a little bit similar to a Japanese temple. There were many beautiful structures in the large ground. I took many pictures of the structures. Then we went to the Hansangoo Embroidery Museum. I enjoyed watching the video how to sew and I enjoyed watching many works, but he seemed to be bored. When we went out there, it began to rain. It rained gradually hard, so we took a rest at anice cafe. When it rained a little, we enjoyed walking again.

It was a scorching hot day, but there were many people who were enjoying walking. Then we went to Myeong-dong by train. We had lunch at a rice porridge shop which I had checked on the Internet. All of the dishes were delicious, so I was satisfied with them. Then we went to the N Seoul tower. We enjoyed looking at beautiful scenery in the observatory. Then we went to Namdaemum Market and we went to see a statue and the gate of the Gyeongbokgung on foot. We walked and walked for 3 hours. I was really tired but I enjoyed walking.

My friend

I met my friend Chiharu and her second son in Kourakuen at 10:00a.m. She is my old friend from university, and she lives in Fukushima prefecture. After lunch, Chiharu and I saw her second son off at Akihabara. Because he joined with her brother and her first son. Then she asked me to go to Nippori with her, so we went there. She started to learn how to sew patchwork recently. There are many fablic shops in Nippori,so we enjoyed shopping. We were tired to walk, so we took a rest at a coffee shop. We met together for the first time in eight years, so we enjoyed much talking. We spent a wonderful time together.

The samples

I made 2 kinds of soap as samples for my aromatherapy and herbal lesson. I made the sample last month, but I wasn't satisfied with them, so I improved my recipe. I tryed to use a little green tea and a little clay. I was satisfied with the new samples.

My lesson

I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and a herbal lesson in the afternoon. All of my students enjoyed making a spray bottle of boby lotion for deodorant. Their body lotions were all different fragrances, but I liked them. After the lesson, we enjoyed talking with a cup of herbal tea and some sweets.

My lesson

I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and a hand sewing lesson in the afternoon. I taught my students how to make 2 kinds of soap. All of them enjoyed making the soaps while they were chatting. And then I taught them how to sew wall hangings. One of them told me that it seemed to be easy to sew, but it was not as easy as she thought. But all of them enjoyed sewing the wall hangings while they were chatting, too. After the lesson, I made herbal tea for them and I served them sweets.
