Everland


I got up bright and early this morning. We were meeting at the school at 8:10am.

Today we were taking students from our hagwon to Everland. Its an amusement park in Korea. We had 2 charter buses full of children. I was the only foreigner. 6 of my students came on the trip. The other students on the trip were from one of our other campuses.

We got there around 10. We split up into groups by whatever campus we came with and what teachers were in charge of that group. I was with my team leader and our 7 students. We were all together in a group and then we broke up into smaller groups. There were 2 girls who wanted to hangout with me for the day so I was in charge of them. We were on our own until lunchtime.

1st we rode "Mystery Mansion". It was a slow ride where you have this guns and you shoot lasers at targets like you are shooting ghosts.

Next we were going to go to the rotating house but we didnt want to wait 30 minutes in line. We rode the lift back up to another area of the park. While we were on the lift they were excited to see some pop group in the park. There was a group of girls walking side by side and cameras were filming them. I didn't know who the group was. The girls said something about brother but I couldnt find any information about them on the internet.

Then we waited in line for an hour to ride "Lets Twist". I was scared to ride it but I thought I'd ride it if my kids wanted to. But I wasn't able to. The bar was too tight so I had to get off.



Then we went to Rose Garden for lunch. It was a buffet style meal. I had pork cutlet and fries. There were more options to choose from but I didn't want rice or kimchi.

After lunch the kids wanted to slide down the big snow hill "Snowbuster". The line for that ride went pretty fast. We got our intertubes and went to the top of the hill and then slid down. It was fun.

Then later we went back to the "Rotating House".

We didn't get to do much. The lines were really long and we didn't have much time. We were only there from 11-4. I didn't take many pictures. I was busy keeping up with the kids. We were suppose to meet at the bus at 4:30, but a lot of people didn't show up until after 5. We finally ended up leaving around 5:30pm.

I had a good time.
