It's a sunny day and we are going to Everland! Very excited of this, I'm imagining that it will be like Disneyland or Universal Studio before I entered, taking pictures with all those cute adorable mascots because I don't play adventures rides and all those lovey dovey rides are either too old for me or it's just not fun being alone on it and all other seats are occupied by couples. But I know I'm entirely wrong after I entered anyway.
Been looking forward to this day before I land my feet on Korea carrying a wrong mindset, probably because I didn't really study much on this trip, my focus is in Busan, all the other places are planned by my sister. Was choosing between Lotte World and Everland at first, read reviews from people over the internet and finally choose Everland over the other as we had a discount coupon from Korea Tourism Organization for 30% which save us a lot of money though the ticket is still expensive from 52000 won to 36000 won and because my aunt forget to bring the discount coupon along, we initially had prepared extra money to buy it at original price but they surprisingly had this discount that day of buying 5 adult tickets and getting the 6th adult ticket with 5000 won off which is definitely a steal for us.
The journey is definitely the longest. Took us more than 2 hours to reach there from where we stay in Hongik. We changed a total of 5 lines and 42 stations to finally reach Jeondae, Everland station. But this is actually the cheapest way to reach Everland as the subway ticket for one way wasn't the most expensive, it's only 2450 won. The price and time compared to the bus weren't that much different after surveying and hence we decided on the subway. And there's shuttle bus to Everland right after you reach the last subway station, just cross over the pedestrian bridge for it, it's free!
Everland it's on Haloween theme in mid-October. We are welcomed with lots of ghost decoration and white clothes hanging above us.
We went straight for lunch before we tried out on the rides as its reaching afternoon and we are all hungry, our breakfast is just two rolls of delicious kimbap we bought at the gate of the subway. Without planning and map guide, I'm walking casually with my aunt to all those smooth rides and we queue on those we feel okay ride. That's not really a right thing to do though, for such expensive ticket you guys should study it a little bit for which to go and to not waste time walking around getting lost in it like me. So the random ride we try out will be Peter Pan, Mystery Mansion and Pororo 3D Adventure. While my sister and cousin queuing for the crazy T express ride which took them 2 hours for their turn, the queue is insane! Because of that no study in advance and exploring with no clue, we totally miss out the wet area ride which won't wet you anyway, the hologram of k-pop, the garden full of flowers all year long, the LED flowers, the fireworks I love the most, and etc. Lesson here, study the place you are visiting a bit, exploring randomly isn't cool and not a good excuse anyway :(
Safari World is the place I spent most time at. Getting in the van driving us into the forest near to wildlife such as tiger, lion, zebra and big black bear that perform. Later watching a performance of little animal in a small decorated stage, emcee all speaking in Korean, understand nothing but the show is cute. Lastly, spending more time at the monkey area watching different monkey in their respective area performing spontaneously.
I stood there for quite some time just to get a close-up photo of his red buttock :P
They even had fennec fox here which is very beautiful with their golden fur.
While waiting for their Halloween roadshow, did some selfie with all the red leaf autumn like background which gives my hair a little reflection of their red colour too. I don't dye my hair, it's natural :) Aww~ I miss my long smooth dark brownish hair.
With this cable car ride, we end our trip down here to Everland. If you ask me if it's worthy, my answer will be no even with the discount I got because I am not those adventurous people that got excited on all the rides, I can't. I rather spend time visiting a random cafe, had some good famous Korea coffee, and relax in a good environment, watching different people or even with good wifi connection browsing the internet on good articles, studying reading books or simply something to constantly exercising my brain.
