Day 3. Lotte World
Thankfully this time my brother-in-law can accompany us. He knew more about going around Seoul especially the tourist destinations. The easiest and fastest way to Lotte World from our place was the subway. The train station was just a walking distance from where we stayed (approximately 5-10minutes). Taking the subway meant a lot of walking and climbing up and down the stairs.

We arrived at lunch time. We decided to try the famous Lotteria--the so-called "Jollibee" of Korea. After lunch I decided it was my favorite fast food restaurant. No, it was THE BEST. The chicken and cheeseburger were so yummy I wish I could bring them with me in the Philippines!

The first thing that came to mind upon seeing Lotte World was Disneyland. They were so much alike except for the indoor and outdoor theme parks showcased by the former. The good thing was that you get to avoid getting sweaty and smelly by going for the indoor rides first. We went there on a weekend and as expected queues were quite long. Such a shame my cowardice got the better of me, I did not risk taking the scary rides (which I immensely regret up until now).
 |
| Entrance to Lotte World. It looked so big from the outside that we actually got confused for awhile where the entrance was. You will pass through a shopping center going to another entrance for the theme park and it took us a little while to find it. |
 |
| Adventure theme park entrance. I forgot the exact entrance fee that time but if I remembered it right it was around 2,000-3,000php per head for adults. |
 |
Indoor theme park. At the center (not included in the photo) is a hug skating rink with another entrance fee if you want to skate.

| I forgot the name of this ride but from the look of it and the sound of people screaming I knew I could not ride this one! Haha! |
 |
| My mirror image. Haha. They also have this impressive art museum featuring 3D paintings. |

| Haha I found this funny with Yanna grabbing the bird! |

| The outdoor theme park. |
Like other theme parks, You must spend an entire day to be able to go about the whole place, see all of their attractions and try all the fun rides. There's nothing more frustrating than waiting in queue for almost an hour and missing out most of the rides because it's closing time (this was what happened to us). Lotte World closes at 10pm, but every 8pm everything will be stopped temporarily to give way to the night parade which will be held at the indoor theme park.
 |
| The night parade. Kids line up at the side just to see their favorite cartoon characters. |
 |
| After taking a glimpse of what a night parade was about, I just sat and watched the lights from afar. I can't relate much on the cartoon characters anyway. If they were winnie the pooh, mickey or the disney princesses you would never see me sitting down. LOL. |
 |
| Reminded me of Disneyland's fireworks show before closing time. |
After the parade we decided to go home (our feet hurt a lot at this time). We also did not want to get caught up with the overwhelming crowd at the subway. It was another exhausting yet fun day!
