They could not get bored during their trip for sure. However, a cooking class with local is more meaningful than above parks. The kid could open their eyes to the world, especially local life and local culture. Moreover, the home cooking class with Kaite gives them a chance to get closer to nature when they visit a green vegetable garden. They will also join the farmers in gardening activities such as raking the ground, sowing, watering greens, transplanting, and tending greens… It’s so fun to practice what they are learning from the book. After that, a market visiting will help them to discover more things of a busy life and ingredients in their food. The funniest part is cooking class with Katie at her house. Katie is so sweet and patient with all their questions. All steps she makes clear and shows for each of generation in the family. How thoughtful she is!
