Homeschool Day at Epcot

 

 

September 2005

 

 

 

        After a presentation from natives of Italy and Brazil we started our journey in Germany with a giant pretzel.

 

 

This is the middle of the village square in Germany.

 

 

 

 

 

Italy - Epcot gave the children passport notebooks to stamp at each country.

 

 

Africa - This gentleman was carving and polishing wooden sculptures.

 

 

   

 

 

China - The lady stamping their passports wrote their names in Chinese beside the stamp.  The girls were very pleased.  Ariel posed with Mulan who just happened to be there.

                                                 

         

 

 

Norway - Love those Viking hats.

 

 

 

 

Japan - The girls are very interested in Japanese culture.  They study Japanese language, popular music and the art form anime cartoons.  They were very curious to try the candy Pocky so we purchased some from the gift shop and the girls were thrilled.  The kind lady at the passport stamp area also wrote each of their names in Japanese on the passports.  Then we grabbed some lunch.

 

 

 

 

Our waitress told the girls in Japan you don't use spoons to eat your soup so they tried the Miso soup Japanese style. The waitress then helped the girls make an origami frog that was in the passport notebook and wrote "Thank you " in Japanese on the receipt. 

 

 

 

 

Morocco - The ornate detail on the swords in the museum was beautiful.  Also the bead work on the headdress and clothing was exquisite.  Everyone was playing some sort of percussion instrument, even in the shops.  This time, (you guessed it) their names were written in Arabic on the passport.

 

  

 

France - We ran into Belle in France.

       

We also visited Mexico, UK and Canada but we were rushing to get every passport stamped and didn't get pictures of these countries. 

 It was really a wonderful day and I can't wait to go back and see the rest of Epcot someday since we spent all day learning and lingering in the countries.
