Lotte World - a wicked good time.

So I (FINALLY) went to Lotte World and it was Fantastic. Lotte World is the largest indoor amusement park in the world, I think. Part of the park was outdoor though and both parts were equally fun. And the people working there waved at you with both hands. This is something I am trying to implement. It's hard to do all of the time because my hands are usually full but I sure am trying. I definitely want to go back.
Most of my photos were taken indoors, from a balloon ride that brought you around the indoor part. SO fun. Indoors there was all sorts of weird entertainment. I didn't get any photos of the entertainers but at one point, the stage was shared by Peter Pan characters and Wizard of Oz characters. Here is a video I took of some animatron monkeys playing instruments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpU9I8SFcuc&feature=channel
It was Masquerade Festival so all of the people working there were wearing feathers in their hair and there was a fantastic parade. There was a song that went "mask festival, mask festival, mask festival - YEAH!" Or something like that. Below is a photo of the parade. Here is a video I took of the parade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrQypE4lA18
The outdoor part was called Magic Island. I didn't really take many photos outside but here are a few. Seriously, what a fun place.

Watch your head! Okay!

Dore and Heather's day of fun! Last weekend, Dore and I went on an Adventure Korea trip. We had to leave REALLY EARLY and it was all outdoor stuff but I had a good time. We started off on a ferry. Then we had a ferry transfer to another ferry. On the 2nd ferry the scenery got exponentially more beautiful. And we saw a very famous mountain.











Then we went to the Gosu caves. We saw no bats but it was cool anyway. This was my first caving experience and it seemed really huge. According to Dore, some of the cave was alive and some was dead.












After the caves we went to this place with 3 rocks in a formation that tells this story. I guess there was this couple who couldn't have a child so they got a mistress to have one for them and things got bad and now they are angry rocks. Something like that.
At the same place there was this "hike" we went on. Mostly it was climbing stairs. First we climbed up to the gazebo in the first picture. Then we kept going to this wooded area where there was this giant stone arch- 2nd picture. We were able to walk across the arch. It was so high but the view was beautiful- 3rd picture. It was pretty awesome. And exhausting.
