PoomSae
I had anticipated watching a taekwondo match, but unfortunately, it concluded just before my arrival. Many people were practicing Poomsae both inside and outside the stadium. I found it difficult to understand the scoring system and determine the superior competitors. I observed performances from various locations. It appeared to be a judged team competition. The…
Virtual taekwondo
Virtual taekwondo’s a new thing, and I’m not quite sure what it is. I’ve seen some videos online, but I really want to see it live. It seems safe; nobody gets hurt, and anyone can play, regardless of age or gender. Scoring’s only for hits within the playing area, and there’s no physical contact, which…
Horseback riding
The weather has been sunny. Recently, I dined at a Chinese restaurant and observed a horseback rider in the distance; this was a novel sight, as I have not encountered such a calming presence in my previous urban residences. While I have seen horses at tourist destinations, the experience here is notably more serene and conducive…

Impression of the transferred job
My initial impression of the new role was overshadowed by a considerable amount of pre-existing anticipation; I had been pursuing this opportunity for approximately a decade.

Required childhood immunizations necessitate a clinic visit. Furthermore, the family requires a medical examination, and I require intravenous therapy. Persistent pharyngitis, characterized by cough and expectoration, has persisted since December. Consequently, an early departure is required.

Days of illness
My daughter appeared unwell after getting off the kindergarten bus on thursday. A fellow passenger informed me she vomited several times on the ride home. She seemed tired and withdrawn. She rested the following days and enjoyed Saturday. I thought she was recovering, but Saturday night she vomited repeatedly, every 30 minutes, throughout the night….
Street stall
A person is sitting on the street, offering goods for sale from several bowls. The weather is remarkably cold, a stark contrast to yesterday’s warmth. The vendor, wearing a vinyl raincoat, patiently waits for customers despite the snowy weather, though there aren’t many people out. I should express my gratitude to those who strive to…

Kindergarten care and vacation services
The kindergarten’s vacation schedule presents significant challenges for parents.

Falling off an indoor bike
My kids like to play with a toy bicycle and car. They stand on the toys, moving like circus performers. It looks dangerous, but I hope a thick mat prevents injury. Also, the toy bicycle’s and car’s wheels do not move smoothly on the mats. The mats cover more than half the home to reduce…
