A trip to Seoulland on Korea's Independence Day

Korea's independence Day falls on 15 Aug 07 Wednesday.... (haha jus a week after Singapore's National day ah.....) Hence we have our public holiday!! hehehe!!

So Tiff and her classmates planned to visit the Seoul land. An amusement park where most visitors are koreans... A theme park unlike Lotteworld or Everland which are crowded by tourists..... However to the monsoon season, it had been raining continuously for 1 wk since 8 Aug.... hence we were really worry if we are able to enjoy ourselves at Seoul land...


On the very morning, we woke up and the sky were cloudy.... heng ah.... haha... Before going to Seoul land, me and tiff had decided to visit the temple near our house. To pray for our families in Singapore.... as something unfortunate had happened.... It so happen that the temple had some event and many devoted devotees were praying....


So after visiting the temple, we went to the meeting place to meet up with tiff's classmates.... N it started to drizzle abit.......... oh gosh!!! bt heck care we HAVE to go to Seoul land no matter what.... hehehe so off we went once everyone arrived...


Had our lunch at KFC and proceed to SEOUL LAND.... This amusement park is really weird... cos for most theme/amusement park you are mostly welcome by a BIG gate.... with music played in the background.... What we have here?? Nothing...no music and the gate for the amusement park is like 30mins away from where we arrive!?!! WE have to walk over in the HOT weather....... *SWEAT*



Soon we arrived at the entrance and were prepared to pay our admission tickets.... so off we went to the ticket booth and was told we can't buy it here as we are foreigners.... So i was like "huh?? what they mean?"

So off we went to the office we were directed.... after some commotion, the person told us the price and we were all SHOCK!! ITS 14,000 won ONLY! *Normal admission cost 28, 000won* We were all so happy.... haha we are really poor students man... just the price difference we can be SO HAPPY!



So off we went into the amusement park.... Went to the haunted house for our 1st stop.... haha witness Korean ghosts.... hahaha.... n went on to ride the longest coaster ride in Seoul and double loop etc thrilling rides....... but sad to comment they r nt as scary... if you had tried thrill rides in Universal Studios....






But even though its not so scary, we had lots of fun being together.... And gosh we went on a kiddy ride call the "Rock n Roll" and man that's scarier compared to those high roller coaster... haha.........



Had lots of fun and most important of all, the entrance fee is so CHEAP which make our day even more happier! ^_^ So marketers out that, STUDENTS ARE THE MOST PRICE SENSITIVE CONSUMERS IN THIS WORLD NO MATTER WHICH COUNTRIES THEY CAME FROM!!!
