Everland: The Land of Year-Round Festivals

Everland, The Land of Year-Round Festivals
Where do I begin? I can't even start describing how beautiful this place is.

Beautiful and scary, that is.

 There are exciting rides, like 40 of them that sadly I wasn't able to enjoy because I got slightly injured by my first ride which is the *drum rolls* T Express! Haha!

 I had to steal a  good quality picture of this roller coaster to justify why I had to be a loser. And of course, surviving this is a bragging rights! Don't get me wrong, it is safe! I just enjoyed it too much that I found myself raising both of my hands while taking this ride, given those turns and falling downs, raising hands will and did result to some muscle tightness-whatever. Didn't bother me much, but then my husband wouldn't allow me for a more daring rides after that. Too bad.

Entrance costs us about 46k Won and it is way, way worth the pay. I've seen too much of Everland in Running man, but it didn't occur to me that this place can be as gorgeous as it is. Especially during spring, I guess. So hey, we are on a perfect timing! 

That time most of the Safari area is close and it almost broke my husband's heart. He is looking forward on meeting the tigers. 

 Because Everland is ridiculously big, this transportation around the park is a life saver!

 I still wish I tried this ride. *sob*

And then there's this awesome parade that'll make you dance along. 

There's a part in Everland that looks like Greece (At least from the pictures I've seen)

And my favorite part, the garden. It seems like the whole of Everland is a garden, but it isn't really so until you see this part.

I fell in love hundred of times with this place and when I thought I've seen all the things that made me so, I saw these kids dancing carelessly. What a pure joy!

And then the sunset. 

Such a perfect ending!

That Picture-Perfect Spring In Seoul

This trip was not planned by me so before I start, a special thanks to my good friend YY who gave so much effort for this trip. Cheers to her very detailed planning! I so love this girl. :)

Here's the itinerary of our trip, generously sharing to everyone. Now, say thanks to YY fellas! 

WEATHER
It was foolish of us (me and my husband) to think that we can actually stand the coldness of Seoul's spring. As soon as we step out from the airport did we know it is going to be cruel for us who only brought sport jacket against the cold. men, did we know! When I realize how serious our situation is, I felt ridiculously happy! I have some serious reason to enjoy shopping!

TRANSPORTATION

The transportation in and out of Seoul is remarkably easy. There are tons of apps that can help you with it if you ever decide on visiting.

TRAVELERS PLANET

568-47 Yeonnam-dong (54-8 Donggyo-ro 25-gil), Mapo-gu, Shinchon / Hongdae, Seoul, South Korea

This no-frills hostel is amazing! They provide breakfast and it was very clean in there. The room is complete with washing machine, internet connection, heater, aircon, sink and stove.

The staff are as amazing as the hostel itself. Not to mention pretty.

TRICK EYE MUSEUM

357-1, Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea

+82 2-3144-6300

How to get thereHongik University Station (Seoul Subway Line 2), Exit 9. Go straight 150m, cross the road, and turn left onto Hongik-ro Street.Go straight 120m, and turn right down to the second side street (in between TONYMOLY and Holika Holika). Continue going 100m to arrive at Trickeye Museum on the right.

The place is not easy to find if you'll ask me and I'm already considered good with directions. Luckily, the museum is near our hostel so we kinda have all the time looking around for it.
Admission fee cost us about 15,000 Won if I remember it correctly.

There's a lot more of this picture, Too much more actually. LOL

After I got convinced that we went to every corner of museum already we walk around the block and to my surprise, the street itself is a destination.

GANGNAM

For dinner, we went to Pal Ja Mak Chang. LeeSang's restaurant.

The downside is that the restaurant is not easy to find. In a big city like Seoul, I'm pretty sure "hard to find" is normal. But there's a beauty in getting lost, except when you're starving of course.  

Here's some video YY made after the trip.
