Feeling Korea (Day 12)

Today's gonna be a long day for us, and it's the LAST FULL DAY for us in Korea.
Anyways, we woke up even earlier for breakfast, 730pm sharp we were at the cafeteria.
Had our breakfast and met up at the carpark at 8am.
We're going to Everland Theme Park, one of the largest theme park in Korea.
And it's gonna be my first time riding roller coasters and everything else in there.
Most importantly, we get to see Panda for FREE! Coz you just need to buy the admission tix, and everything else is FREE.

~our admission and meal coupon~

 ~EVERLAND~

Can't believe I'm here!!
Usually, you just hear from people that it's so fun and all, but now, I've stepped into Everland.
~group 2 pic before entering inside~


~we're inside Everland~ 


Time to explore.
There were so many things to play and do, but we only have 5 hours.
So, I just followed the ones they chose.

~LINE shop~

We went to our first stop, the family roller coaster place. 
So many people were queuing up for it, but it's okay.
My first time!

Sat the first roller coaster of the day and WOW! still okay, mayb coz it's a smaller one.
Went to our second stop which is the 360 spinning top.
I'm kinda afraid of it, but no harm giving it a try aite? =D
So, we queued up for it (and we saw a few volunteers) we and sat on that 360 spinning top.
For the first few minutes, I was okay (still can wave to the volunteers), then when it started spinning even more high up the air, I closed my eyes.
My heart--it just dropped to the ground.
Gosh, I came down feeling dizzy.LOL
What a great experience. Fuh...

Decided to go for lunch before proceeding to other places.

~lunch at one of the restaurant stated on our coupon~

Online, rested and had a good lunch. 
Then, we proceeded to the next place, with some water thingy.
We have to sit on something, it goes up, comes down in a fast pace with water splashing on us.
The queue for that water activity, oh my! So long! haha
We waited for around 30minutes, and finally it was our turn.

Another new experience for me:
Enjoyed it but gosh, felt like i was gonna flew out from the boat i was sitting when it slide down backwards.
Got wet coz the water fountain splashed all of us.LOL
But, it was fun.

~us after getting wet~

Next stop was the Pirate Ship.
People said that it was very scary.
Since I'm here, so i'll just try it.

~selfie before it goes up~ 


~gets higher and higher into the air~

I closed my eyes throughout the entire process.
I was feeling dizzy and my heart was beating so fast.
Gosh, it was really scary.
Once is enough.haha
Got down from the pirate ship, I felt so dizzy.LOL

The next stop we went was the roller coaster.
This time, it's an average one and slightly bigger.
My second time on the roller coaster for the day.

~us before riding the 2nd roller coaster~

Sat on it, went round and round, and it turned.
OMG! haha
As usual, closed my eyes the entire journey.
Enough of roller coaster for the day. Fuh, my heart, scattered on the ground.

 ~the longest and largest roller coaster in Everland~

This is the 3rd roller coaster in Everland.
Le friends wanted to try it.
I didn't join them and waited for them at a souvenir shop.

 ~ice drink!~

Weather was really hot, and yea sunburn again. 

~Saranghae Korea! Gonna missssss Korea!~ 

~us, feeling tired~ 

All of us were feeling tired after all those rides.
So we decided to just take the open air cable car and explore the other places.

~us at the open air cable car~

Quite fun to sit in the open air cable car. 
Our next stop was to see panda! Wohhooo!! 

~taken in a souvenir shop~ 

~penguins~

We saw a number of animals while walking to the Panda World.
Lions, penguins, birds, seals, etc. 
~here we are at Panda World~ 

 ~they were asleep when we were there~

There were 2 pandas in that place, Ai Bao and Le Bao.
Both were sleeping on the ice when we were there. 
These pandas were given to Korea from China, like Malaysia.
The place was fully air conditioned. Wow, so xing fu the pandas.

~with Le Bao~

It was his birthday that day!  

~so cute~

Can't remember the name of this animal, but gosh, so fluffy!! 

~panda souvenir shop~

Before heading out to the main entrance, we entered few souvenir shops.
We even captured many pictures around the place.

~Thank you EVERLAND for having us~

Grabbed a quick dinner using our coupons and we head out to gather at the main entrance at 530pm.

Thank you so much for your great hospitality towards us.
I had a great and memorable experience in Korea. 

~a token of appreciation from Faculty of Education to CBNU~

Twas a long day.
The journey from Everland to CBNU was about 2 1/2 hours.
We reached CBNU around 830pm.
And yay! we got our pottery back and we took last pics with the volunteers.
