Namrin searched her soul in Seoul #3

South Korea TripHello everyone,

Now it's my day 3. First stop is Everland! Everland is everland! lol, the place that makes you feel younger or even become a child again. Similar to other major amusement parks, Everland is divided into 5-6 sections, American Adventure, European Adventure, Global Fair, Magic Land, Aesop's Village and Zoo-Topia. As we have limited time-2 hours, I only went for the ones that are most adventurous, and made me scream.....AAAAAAHHHHH..Woooo..it was very fun and excited.

The most exciting ride in my opinion is T-Xpress. It's the longest wooden coaster probably in the world. Hmm..ok let's say just Asia. It has the dramatic slope from the top to down at 70 degree to earth. Can you imagine that? If you can't, check out the photos, :-D After being in line for an hour, I survived from the ride. One round lasts shorter than 3 minutes but you know what it's worthwhile to wait especially if you like this kind of thing!

After that, we had lunch. This is one of my most favourite meals of the trip. We had kalbi which is the slide of pork or beef grilled on charcoals. They have several side dishes including kimchi. To have this kalbi properly, you have to take a piece of lettuce and then put a cutting piece of grill pork, put a small piece of garlic, add few pieces of bean sprout, put a piece of iceberg lettuce, and top with the Korean sauce...and the thing roll it and put in your mouth....slowly chew it....hmm.yumm...umm...yum yum...do you feel it? Your saliva is dripping now. LOL :-d

Then, we went to Ginseng Centre where they tried to sell us different type/menu of Ginseng but it's very expensive so only a few people were interested in. Even though Ginseng seems to be very useful for health, I personally think I don't need it now. (hopefully forever lol) The taste is too strong and smelly. I find it's hard to handle.

What's next? It's not quite a sightseeing as well. I went to see the show. It's called Jump show which seems to be the combination between Tae Kwan Do and martial arts mixed with stage play. Unfortunately it's not allowed to shoot a video or take a photo so I only had a few photos after the performance. Overall, the show was quite fun but it was little boring in the middle. Perhaps it was because of me didn't sleep enough last night. lol

At night, we had buffet dinner and our 2 General Managers (one from Operations Division and the other from Finance and Accounting Division) spoke their minds. Both are new GMs, the former was my senior supply chain manager (Thai woman), the latter was directly imported from France (French man). The foods were quite good. Many people enjoy eating and drinking. Still remember Soju? That's what we drank. If you do not know what it is, I suggest you to re-read the 2nd album, hahaha!

Oh..o tomorrow is the last day in Seoul and South Korea....
