Amy: Chandeliers and Doctor Fish

Here's what we did last weekend.

We where invited to go on a staff school retreat so of course we would never refuse to have fun so we said we yes.Well guess what happened --Bentely got sick.So mom, being the kind mother she is, said she would stay with Bentely and we could go to the retreat. So Dad, Kylie and I went on the retreat. It was a 2 hour bus trip but eventually we made it. The hotel we got to stay at was amzing! It had crystal chandeliers in the lobby. There was a ball room and a dinning hall. It was so fancy.
There wear nine floors.But one weird thing is there is never a fourth floor in hotels because the word four sounds exaclty like the word for "death."
Well back to the trip.The meals at the retreat were so good there were two big tables full of food.
Our room had three beds,one tv,one frig, and one bath room.In the entry way their is a slot that you put your room card into to turn on the lights. It turns on and off all the lights in the apartment.More than once Kylie took the card out when I was in the shower. It was so maddening.
There was a theme park in the hotel.They also had public baths. There was two rooms one for men and one for women. I tried the public baths with Lois, Sarah, Alex (a girl!), Lydia and Kylie. It was so much fun and a little embarrassing, but I am glad I tried it.
There was also a bowling ally in the hotel that was cool to. We also did that.
In the pool area they had doctor fish which are small fish that eat dead skin.
I tried swimming with doctor fish it was so much fun. Once you got in they would come in swarms and start eating your dead skin it is actually really healthy for you. When they are done, your feet feel really smooth!
The next day Alex, Lilly, Katreana, Kylie, Miss Vicente ,Hannah and I went to two art museums and a place where you can make pottery. I made a half bowl half plate clay thing and after they dry it the people at the clay place will send it to the school.

Sounds amazing Amy, I don't think I would have been as brave as you to go to the public bath or swim with doctor fish - eek. I don't like anything that moves. We love you all and are glad to hear some news of you all. Sounds like you are having fun, how is school?

Amy,
Wow! What an amazing weekend! The doctor fish thing sounds a little creepy... maybe you should just get some sloughing lotion or something next time ;)

I'm super glad to hear that you're having a good time in Korea. It sounds like you're making some new friends! That's great!!

It sure was nice of your mom to stay with Bentley so you three could go and have fun. You should look for ways to 'return the favor' to your mom. Self sacrifice is one of the greatest character qualities we can achieve. Your mom has it in spades! I hope you learn that from her - and I hope your dad teaches you to whistle... because your mom probably won't. :P

We love and miss you very much!

Amy, you are really amazing and so willing to try new things! Way to go - I don't think I'll try the fish thing when we come to Korea because I'm not as brave as you! The retreat sounded like a great time for all of you, even though Kylie did a lot of teasing (hey, I thought that was your job in the family?)with the card and lights. Make sure you keep a list of the interesting places and things to see and do to share when we come to see you at Christmas. We want to share your experiences.
Love you tons, NANA
