October 22nd, 2013. It was my long day until I got home. Discovery club which a club that I joined went to Kansas Museum of History. FYI, Discovery club is a club which member of club can visit to another club or activity in my school to have an experience getting involve in another club. Beside that, in this club we can sharing culture between foreign exchange student with local student. And the last one, we can go outside campus to visit an interesting and educational place around my city, Topeka. It is a cool club dude!!! :)
Unfortunately, only 4 students including me that could go. But, it was still fun. It is a big museum though. I have just realized that Kansas had a lot of histories that had effected to the history of United States of America. It started with the Santa Fe Trail which was an international trade route between the United States and Mexico. The trail crossed between Independence (Missouri) and Santa Fe (then in Mexico). This route also crossed Kansas. Wow, that's cool. Beside that there was Oregon-California Trail which a route that connected between East of United States and West of United States. It also crossed Kansas. Both of this route was used in the 18's. The civil war also happened in Kansas in the 18's. Kansas territory quickly became the center of the nation 's attention as people battled over whether it would enter the Union as a free or slave state.
Actually, there were so many things and interesting stories that I found in that museum. But, if tell all what I found there, this post will be longer than what I expect. Hehehe. For more information about this museum, please visit this site : http://www.kshs.org/museum. I hope all of us can enjoy that. :)
In the of our tour, we went to Red Robin that is not far away from museum. It is a restaurant that serve a delicious burger with many kind of variations. They serve a big burger and I thought, it would be enough for me. Also, this restaurant is well-known as the restaurant that serve a delicious french fries in the town. I do agree with that statement. It was delicious and big. hehehehe.
Halloween day!!! It was so much fun in that day. Right before the Halloween day, Discovery club visited the GSA club to craft a pumpkin. It was my first experience to do that. I was so excited to do that. And here some pictures from the process I crafted that pumpkin until it was done.
D-day of Halloween day! I went to school with a clown costume. It was so fun to wear that costume. Some student that I met in the hallway were so scared to see my costume. Many of my friends did not realize me too. But, it was still cool because some of my friend said that I wore a good costume. Thanks guys!!! After school I put my pumpkin that I crafted the day before in front of my house. I did not go outside to do the treat or trick. I stayed at home and watched movie together with my host family. It was so fun to stay at home because I could see many kids came to our house to do the treat or trick. All of them were so cute with the Halloween costume. hehehe. What a day. :)
