동물 극장 Animal Theater

It was our 2nd time to sit through this oh-no-when-this-will-end showㅋㅋㅋ

That's why I sat on the last row and took a rest for 20 minutes!!!

I even heard the man-in-charge casually and wittily apologized on behalf of the company that  the show was not changed since the opening of Lotte World. 하핰ㅋㅋㅋ

I even wondered if the 21st century kids even LIKE the show.

궁금..궁금...궁금♡^^♡

Same Beach, Different Time

Winter at Eastern Coast of Korea. 2015.

Eyra & Freya in winter jackets!!!

Summer at Eastern Coast of Korea. 2014.

They're mesmerized by the beauty and sound of the beach.

The Second Morning & Sun Rise @ Sun Cruise Resort

 

It's 7.46 and the sun's about to rise....we climbed up to the observation deck.only to find that we ended up on the wrong section of the deck...but luckily it's way higher..^^ 

Other guests were seen on that green field...just two floor below us.. 

and..the sun did rise...^^January 5, 2015.

It's gleaming ....and shyly shining through the clouds... 

Chattering and Clicking Sounds....sort of disrupted the serenity...^^ 

Let's get away for a while..from the crowds... 

just doing my job... 

and this one's too. I am NOT endorsing anyone to take this kind of shots..ever.:)

Let's stick to the usual one... 

The upper observation deck..empty..no one's there..coz it's so darn* cold... 

Okay..thank God, we'd enjoyed the sunrise...one day earlier...

since it's the coldest and windy morning ever!! 

so, let's go back inside the ship... 

and...look...everyone's gone!! I guess the windy morning sort of pushed the flocks back into their rooms.

A Stranded & Dilapidated Train on a Cliff!!!

On a park nearby, we ventured out to a unique-looking train compartments---which turned out to be a cafe-train used years ago. hmm..the rusted train...I must say. 

But..maybe that's the whole point of setting it up in the first place. 

The more corroded and rusty it became..the more intriguingly interesting it be? hmm 

debatable.... 

So, I wonder what it might've looked like a few years ago, then?

One thing for sure...there were a cruise ship and a train stranded on a cliff!!! 

Let's not think about that..and just use them as the background of our picture. 

After all, what could be better than an open sea down below, a cruise ship, and a train? 

Oh..there are better things...ㅋㅋㅋ 

but, let's just take one more look, lest we could not enjoy it..

one more look at the stranded corroded and rusty dilapidated train.....^^

From The Glass Bridge...

we could observe the open sea.... 

I wonder why the girls seemed to be enjoying it... 

Even their Mom tried to, well, imitate the many others' picture-taking styles... 

Only to....okay..let's go back to the old-school style.. 

Wait, what's Eyra doing on the tree? 

Back to the glass-bridge..it's my turn..and I got to admit that it was a bit nauseating.... 

But..surely...not for Freya... 

I was not ...that particularly fond of this...at all. 

and...she kept on walking back and forth...giggling... 

on a glass catwalk. 

Again...feeling kinda freely joyous. 

and...her sister, too. 

sailormoon-like pose. 

or...well, heart-shape style. 

or..jumping on the glass bridge? oh, please..stop it, girls. 

*oh, wait..this is the sailormoon style!

all in all, what a great moment indeed, at least for them. ㅋㅋㅋ

Onward....to the Observation Deck

As the name suggests, the observation deck provides the passengers a chance to view the whole 360 degree view of the who Jeongdongjin area. 

With a 500 Won coin, we could zoom into those tiny islets or beaches down below.

Freya, surely, was enticed by tool.

From this angle, who would've thought that it would just like we're on an open sea-bound cruise ship! 

Yes....just like what I was waiting for. Not a single passenger. 

another view down below. 

and a non-operating swimming pool. Thanks, Winter.^^ 

Sneaked into a museum exhibit highlighting the processes of how the cruise ship was built. 

It's a show in itself. 

What Sun Cruise might've looked like from above. 

Now, we're back to the ground ....ready to explore the glass-bridge to view the ship from a different angle. 

As we marched along, Grecian statuettes were (like) putting on a show.
