I'd say, our week-long stay in Korea was really a good mix of some retail therapy, food adventure, cultural immersion and just more fun and intense bonding with the entire gang. On our 3rd day, we all headed to Everland Resort!
We took the subway to Gangnam oppa Gangnam style! The drive was long and the bus was so crowded that a number of us felt nauseous as we got to the theme park. After all, Everland Resort is located at the outskirt of Seoul already. It's a good thing also that we spotted an online promo that gave ticket discounts to groups of 4. In a snap, just like the game of "the boat is sinking", we quickly grouped ourselves to sign up for the said promotion. Paul and I teamed up with Jane lowering the regular adult ticket worth W40, Php.
Not much really but when traveling, we are definitely not saying no to any form of good bargain. For the younger ones, this is also the home of the famous Pororo! To be honest, I haven't heard of Pororo before simply because I don't watch cartoons nor do we have kids at home so when my friends went wild over photos uploaded of Pororo it was then that I realized that this cute little penguin was very very popular.
We all met them as we watched the Pororo 3D Adventure. Sadly everything was in Korean but a little skill in context clues will somehow give you an idea what the story was all about. I loved the technology which was closely similar to that of Hong Kong Disneyland or of Universal Studios.
Not bad! We enjoyed the show pretty much that Joan and I had to have our photo op beside Pororo and female friend, Petty! From the Global Fair zone, we moved on to the American Adventure where we saw a number of thrill rides just like those that Paul and I saw at the Knotts Berry Farm theme park in California. There's the Columbus Adventures which is like our local Anchor's Away and the Double Rock Spin that will surely take you upside down and turn your tummy topsy-turvy for a minute or two.
