Everland




Everland is a theme park outside of Seoul. We decided to go over Columbus Day weekend. This was great because everyone else is at work except the Americans. We went with our friends Adam and Amanda. Since it was close to Holloween, the whole park was decorated.

Everland is like the Magic Kingdom at Disney World. I went on one roller coaster, but it was still fun! They had a safari that was so cool! At one point the driver rolled down the window and threw treats to a bear who did tricks for us. (Video on Picasa)

I had fun people watching. Koreans have the most ...interesting... style. Here are pictures from what I like to call, my "Fashion Safari":




School uniforms are no obstacle for these kids.
They "jazz" up their humdrum unis with chucks and fancy colored socks...



Be careful to spot this not so rare sight: a ''man purse.''
This pouch is an acceptable accessory for most Koreans.



This completes our safari ride.
Please exit the tram and follow signs
to the next exhibit of your choice:

Oktoberfest Korea Style

On Saturday, Chris and I headed to Post to check out the Oktoberfest celebration. We had a great time! By the time we got there they had already sold out of bratwurst. So we settled on knockwurst and were very happy with it! They had band playing and I even saw some lederhosen!
