Went to Everland yesterday - a theme park by Samsung.
Yes, it's the same one I went to before, but this time, it was during the day.
It was a bit creepier, because I got to see all the architecture and not-quite right cartoon characters (poor cousins of Disney). A baby blue Taj Mahal was opposite a Victorian building, next to a Kremlin-looking thing next to some Mosque-esque thing. You get the idea.
The bus there was kinda boring
There was a bizzare Mardi-gras type parade thing happening
The last ride I took my camera on was the viking ship, and there were some people clearly not cut out for it...
Oh the food in general was a rip-off and poor, had to settle for overpriced, cold hamburgers and limp fries.
Fell asleep on the bus back and I think it was a good day.
daisung.
Well, if you listen to the videos, it doesn't sound like I had fun, but I did.
We went to Everland at 6pm, and it was pretty good except for the cold. There were no lines at any of the rides and although we missed the fireworks because we were eating overpriced processed pork (crumbed pork cutlets) the parade with costumed characters and lots of light globes (and costumed characters with lots of light globes - tres gay I might add) was watchable enough.
It was surprising to find lots of little kids running around an amusement park after dark, but there they were, running around with their short little legs, and doing all the crazy kids stuff that they do when they're all excited. I bet someone can earn quite the living by selling Ritalin to defeated parents.
I felt supremely sorry for the people working there, they had to put on smiles and sing a bastardised version of "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" with the word 'Everland' embedded in it, and they've probably had to do it for the entire day. Oh, by the way Everland is a subsiduary of Samsung Corp. I'll do a post about 'chaebol's later on.
Merry Christmas/Holiday something....
Daisung.
