Destination 5.1.5 : Back to Seoul (in Gang)

June 7th, 2011

going back to Seoul once again
with the rest of the people here
Yvonne, Xiang, Ken, CongJie and ZhengJing

we haven't planned anything for Seoul yet
even place to stay
since there's no suggestion
we decided to go to Jina's place again
left our luggage there
and went for late lunch at somewhere nearby
now we are not more wondering what are we eating anymore LOL
we're all better than the time we came

then spent time and money at those punching machine
+ batting
then murphy contacted for our plan in Seoul
and he said that he'll be here tomorrow morning with us

then we went to see the night scenery at some very famous river
but it's kinda too early when we reached there

cause the sun was still hanging
been walking around for a while

+ have a cup of drink at Nescafe coffee shop
i drank sweet potato ice blended
it tasted kinda cute as it's sweet potato juice
it was the 1st time i drank sweet potato juice
taste good but not enough
then we spent quite some time to find toilet

then most of the rest felt tired and went back to hotel
i followed ken on walking to the 1st bridge for the main attraction
we walked for 5km almost an hour

on the way there
there's some interesting show going while we reached
one is the digital garden where the plants are displayed on the wall through projector
then it's the laser show on the water spraying as screen
finally we reached the 1st bridge with waterfall in nice lighting

btw... there's a lotsa polices in that area
wonder what's going on
maybe some kind of huge event is going to start soon
but we just went back and had my awful late dinner

why do i say so...
cuz it's a bow of cold soup full of pudding made of some nuts
i couldn't finished it after all
and back to hotel for another day

it's day to Lotte World XD


June 8th, 2011

it's time for Lotte World
the world's largest indoor theme park
we planned to wake up early in the morning
maybe around 8am+
but we slept till 10am+
vinny and murphy even arrived before we woke up...
+ brunch so we reached they quite late...
only congjie didn't join us
so there's only 7 of us went to Lotte World

reached the station there and asked for direction at the information counter there
received discount voucher from them
then bought tickets with our Alien card and got even more discount
from 39,000won to 23,000 won
really saved a lot of money

1st ride of the day
Atlantis Adventure
this ride was totally out of our expectation
high speed from the beginning till the end
omg... even better than roller coaster
the best ride i ever had
and we rode for 3 times
another times were evening and night (last ride of the day)

the rest of the rides were nothing special actually
i was putting a lot of expectation on the gyro swing

but it's not that exciting anyway
i felt nothing even with my hands free
only making me a bit dizzy

then we went for bumper car, kids ride

, 3D ghost cinema

gyro drop... not exciting also as the speed of dropping was not fast enough
some swinging tree that made everybody dizzy

i shouldn't ride that as all of my mood gone for that
then we went back to indoor for lunch + more adventures

actually nothing is fun in indoor

everything is designed for kids...

at least there are some performances going on the huge stage

+ parade

we spent our last ride on the Atlantis
and night scenery before we left

and it started to rain when we're about to leave

at late night
dinner with CongJie and then had our last drink together in korea
as most of the people are leaving (except people from Gwangju + me)

***IMPORTANT***
remember to get some "magic pass" for some long waited rides
you can only hold one pass at a time
and be able to get another one when the time for the holding pass is starting


June 9th, 2011 (thursday)

woke up quite late also but we need to check out
quickly packed our luggage and had our brunch
then headed to the airport with the airport bus
quick convenient for people with huge luggage

so why am i heading to the airport too?
to have my luggage store there
then i realized that i was so so so stupid
i should have left my luggage at the hotel
and went back to get when i'm going to fly
so i spent 9,000 won per days for a week...
just to store my luggage
i was so regret when i headed back to Seoul

so that's the starting for my tour in Korea SOLO
