Eyra @Lotte World (again)...but this time...

this time...it's different. She went there with her classmates..in fact not only with her classmates, but the whole school came to Lotte World.  

It's her classmates. They were all wearing the same green 청량 (Cheongryang) elementary school t-shirt.  

*Thanks for sonsaengnim for having sent us the pictures she took.

It looks like they were all ready to embark on the journey they'll cherish...  

Since it's working-day and not yet even noon, they were able to enjoy the whole park for themselves..apparently.  

Some of her classmates...with Yebin (the third girl with striped trousers), being her closest friend. 

The 2nd graders' cheers. I wonder why they were making V signs.. 

And this one, too. 

Eyra--unseen--on this footage. Wonder where she was... 

Guess...they were not that close....^-^but..I wonder whey they ended up taking pictures together, uh?  ^*^

The whole class ...I guess... 

Now..comes the best part for them.. 

Well..for adults..this may look so dull..but ...for them... 

Thanks to sonsaengnim and the school for having taken the kids on the trip to Lotte World. 

* Just after the trip, Eyra's class sonsaengnim sent a lot of photos to the parents (including me)..and that's why I got them uploaded here.

고맙습니다, 선생님. 덕분에 우리 애들은 즐거운 시간을 보냈다.

The girls @ Lotte World again

While I was away in Indonesia with my second daughter, Eyra (my first daughter) went out to have fun with her eonni, Min Seonhee, to Lotte World. The funny thing was that....they went out on the same day I flew out of Korea last month. 

I guess Eyra insisted that she must go somewhere to compensate for her not being able to go with me to Indonesia. Well, that's reasonable. She deserved to have something fun to do; for her sister, Freya, was also having a good time going back to Indonesia, then. 

I could see in her eyes ( you are NOT sleepy, right, honey?) that she did enjoy the trip. What a bright color in the background lashed out into her coincidentally bright and multi-layered sweater she's wearing. A perfect combination to get lost. 

Her Mom, too, was also having a good time, apparently.^^ 

No hair-raising rides for the kids, just a carousel or something like that. At least, she did have a moment to remember. 

Oh, just when I thought that taking her to Lotte World would be more than enough to compensate for ****, she asked another thing......A Lotte-World mascot, Lotty and Lorry dolls. ( I don't know which one which..that she's holding).*,*

Cherry Blossoms again......this year!!!

Last year we went to Youido Cherry lane @ Youido, of course. This year we went to Jamsil Cherry lanes, or more precisely we had a chance to see the blossoming sakura at the lake near Lotte World at Songpa-gu.

See the Gyro Drop at the background? 

I guess we did not see the cherry, instead we saw people! 벚꽃구경아니고 사람구경!!

well what could we do, we just came at the very same time when the throng of crowd came into the area. But, still we did enjoy our time there. We would not gone there had there been less people. ^-^ 

The lake itself was not that big, but it was big enough to accommodate the needs of Seoulites who more than often need to relax their eyes and mind in the midst of this bustling city. 

Once again..I did not let myself get caught in the way, so I pretty much walked and kept on walking on the side of the lake so as to being able to enjoy the sakura and the people staring & admiring at them. 

One of the most-sought-after spot where people took pictures. Well, not really...but at least this is how it looked like.

Taking a stroll admiring sakura @ Lotte World. 

Freya, take a look at Daddy. There...you go. 

"But, Daddy..I wanna go to Lotte World....!!!" 

Since she's been there twice, she knows what Lotte World offers to kids like her. She vividly remembers what the amusement park is like...and that's what prompted her to keep nagging at me....to take her into the Lotte World. 

Well, for the meantime ..why don't you just take a picture with Lotty and Lorry, first.^^ 

Grab my hand...grab my hand...

the fact that Lotte World offers this free photo session for the onlookers and passers by...really amused the kids. Well, at least for that day...they met Lorry and Lotty. 

Lotte World during Seollal (part 2)

@Kidstoria. Aladdin cave and its creatures are all there for the kids to enjoy.

The Griddilock and the bears...oh swell..I forgot what it was.:) 

A time to take a rest from playing around... 

The dolphin and the kids. I don't know why they always want to touch this particular dolphin..  

The afternoon parade. First, the royal attire I don't know what...were just passing us by. 

The Venice? Persian? style ..I'm not sure either.^^ 

The glass-trapped princess: 'Oh, poor the princess' exclaimed Freya..^^ 

The blooming fluffy skirt of the parade girls..( gee what am I talking about)? 

Sinbad? and the three-headed dragons? I guess so... 

The pirate comrades...on the loose. 

The Arabian princess on the loose...^^ 

Egyptian kingdom on a float... 

A closer look into the Egyptian wonders... 

After seeing the parade, Eyra and Freya took their time queuing for the kiddy bombom car. 

As for me, I was sitting on a bench while taking a tie taking pictures of the section... 

There she is. On a 2-minute ride that would simply make her glee.. 

Freya was right on the left corner of the bom-bom car section... 

Squueeeeze!!I mean 'cheese" 

SO, YOU DID HAVE A GREAT TIME< right.?>

Lotte World part 11

I stayed up until around 9 pm at Lotte World. Well, I might as well spend the night there. of course nope. I just wanted to make the best out of it. Our university gave us a free ticket that we could use until the theme park closed at around 10 pm. But, I was so helplessly tired of screaming, waiting in line, standing, running, and of course....squuuuueeezzziiing  and squirming myself in jittery of riding the rides. So, at about 9 I was going back home. 

But, before that....I took some shots of the night view inside the Lotte World Theme Park. Some people were still visibly skating on the ice rink below. Far on the right, a Peter Pan cabaret show was on its way. The brightly lighting and a dazzling show of hi-tech show boosted the image of its nightly show--a tauntingly Mask Festival during Spring time only.

 Then...a light studded balloon was seen flying or hanging over the roof. The windmill was also colorfully lightened up that surely boosted the night atmosphere inside the park. who wouldn't want to be pampered with hassle-free world like that?

This one: my classmates (Li Xinyang and Li Jie) who seemed to enjoy the carousel.
