Lotte World instead of Everland

Posted by on June 20, 2013

Lotte World!

We awoke this morning with a mission to visit Everland which is kind of like Korean Disneyworld. It has 3 parks: amusement, safari and water. And they all seem awesome! However, we got a bit of a late start and a very helpful man we met while buying tickets for the subway helped us decide we were better off going to Lotte World instead. Basically, by the time we got the subway to Gangnum station, we were going to miss the main bus to Everland that would have dropped us right in front of the theme parks. If we were determined to go, we would have had to take a taxi after the bus and it just would have been complicated and since it was such a hot day we decided to go to Lotte World which is both indoor and outdoor and only a few more subway stops away instead of an hour and a half each way (given our late start).

Lotte World was very cool and what really struck me was the sheer enormity of Lotte . Lotte Hotel. Lotte Tower. Lotte . These buildings were great and it seems to me that 3 companies must own all of South Korea. Hyundai, Daelim and Lotte.

Perhaps I’ll post some pics over the weekend but we really did have a great time. Plus, Kai really wanted to watch a movie and have Papa John’s pizza for dinner so this got us home in time for that and for us to pack (after Kai went to sleep). We leave the hotel in just over 2 hours and I’m just now finishing a couple posts here that I felt needed to be written while it’s fresh in my mind. We missed Everland, but if we can swing it, maybe we will go there the day after we come for the next trip a couple weeks from now.

Here’s a couple pics of Lotte World and also the girl Kai decided to rest his head on during the trip home. He said she’s so pretty he’s embarrassed.
