Lotte World - July 14, 2010

Today we met up with a friend, Eunjin, who used to live in Canada, and spent the day at Lotte World, the largest indoor amusement park in the world. It also has an outdoor area called ‘Magic Island’. A scene from ‘Full House’, the Korean drama we’ve been watching was filmed here. Lotte World is miniscule compared to Wonderland, but it has a lot of themed rides such as an Egyptian adventure ride, Atlantis and The Adventures of Sinbad. I convinced Sunghee and Eunjin to go on “French Revolution” which had a loop-de-loop and a number of other fantastic twists, and it was a lot of fun. Unfortunately though, my earring in my newly pierced ear partially fell out, and I lost my favourite earring from my other hole. Somehow, the back of my hole closed over in just a few minutes, and I had to shove it back through. :S We noticed everyone, including the males, were walking around with silly headbands with bows and ears on them, so Sunghee and I decided to get some too.

We went on rides all day and explored the themes of Lotte World, and with very sore feet headed for the subway. We were very late for dinner, so we had to run quite a way. The running was perfectly rewarded, though, with a delicious meal of noodles, dumplings, tempura, and French fries (which didn’t really fit the meal, but were tasty nonetheless.).

After eating, we hopped back on the subway, on our way to watch “Cookin’ NANTA’. It is a show that fuses martial arts, dancing, percussion and humor to create an amazing performance. The performers run around chopping food, making messes, ‘cooking’, banging on things with knives, banging knives against knives, and other fantastic things. The show was unforgettable and if you ever get the chance to see it (it travels around the world) then you must!
