  | Everland - Korea's theme park without a theme Yesterday morning the missus and I were going to venture into Seoul to go Namsam park and up the Seoul tower. Not sure why, but at the last minute we decided that a trip to Everland would be easier. It's 2 minutes from my apartment. I hate the place, but she loves it. Note - I used the fucking Teakdoor photo album just to try it out one last time. This is the last time I am using it since it took three times as long to do anything with the the photos. It's rubbish. AND it's gone and put the photos in a different order to the one that they were uploaded in. taking even longer. So we walked down the street and caught the bus up.  Here is the picnic area before entering.  Here are a few brand name sports shop just in case you feel like buying a new football or something before going in.  The exit which I am very much looking forward to coming out of.  The ticket booth where they skin me 55,000 won - one ticket is 35k but I get one halfprice as well for using my Samsung Mastercard.  This is the entrance.  And some shots of the typical fades and such like that you will see around the place.

| There is an Aesops fable theme in the one part of the park but that is about it. Not really sure what the theme is about - just some half arsed crappy cartoon characters who weren't on show yesterday because we had chosen the hottest day that year to go - with no fucking sun cream.   As per most theme parks the food is expensive  A lot of these mister things about  The park is having it's Splash Party - I forgot to take photos of it though.  This out of focus thing here is a speaker that pumps out nauseating music all day and night.   Rides - I don't go on them so didn't take many photos. Something to do with Aesops Fables  Not sure what though.  Come for a day out and play arcade games at one of the many  This was a ride for kids - didn't go on it either.  An old lady sleeping - I was going for a knicker shot but she isn't wearing any so and I don't want to get jailed on here.  The main part of the park where they do a show in the evening  Just realised I can make the photos bigger. I ain't doing the others again so tough. A windmill - not sure why it's here - might be the start to Holland Village.  Some pretty flowers  Everland Show - I got chucked out for taking these so appreciate it - sorry for the graininess ISO 1600 to get them without a flash - covertly - still caught me that twats.  They have some flogs as well   |

| The animal show that the missus loves   Breed tigers to stick in perspex boxes  The world parade where they get loads of Rusky types to dance around like cnuts. These fuckers live just over the road from me and sometimes laugh when the missus and I walk past - fucking cnuts. Look at the state of them dancing around in costumes.    Sun is getting low    Taking the cable car up to get out   Bum Fuk Korea where I live  |

| Now to the important part of the trip - the bit I enjoyed. Lots of women wearing short shorts and high heels - not this lady  This one has popped out a kid  Now what you probably don't know about Korea is that if you are a couple it is acceptable to make yourself look like a complete knobber by wearing matching clothes. Here are some examples.        FFS    Family all dressed the same      These two were clever and worn different colours but the same images on the shirts   |

| The matching t-shirts I always found hysterical I was working in Incheon and a couple came up to me with the bloke wearing a t-shirt with an arrow pointing to his mrs and says > she is my girlfriend and she had the same saying he is my boyfriend!! needless to say I pissed myself laughing and got one of the locals to serve them |

| Fvck me senseless,  What a horrible sight.They are the worlds greatest spank monkeys, even the Singaporeans wouldn't dress like that. I always thought the Taiwanese were the worlds greatest Asian cvnts until I went to Korea. |

| Koreans certainly are bizarre people, whether it is killing live pheasants by whacking them on the pavement to protest something or other Japanese or going to Karaoke, getting shotfaced and taking off your tie and being a total prat or Texas . Seoul . . . ahem |

| Yup, I know the Everland only too well as I once lived not too far from there. Took the kids there 20 years ago not long after they first opened. Before that Childrens Park out by Walker Hill Resort and Casino. The museum with modern scuptures in the outside area up on the hill outside of Everland is interesting. Saw Chuck Mangioni concert at a venue not too far from there. At the huge convention center type building where the roof looks like an old Kroean yongban hat. Those were the days. Oh yea, seen a lot on my multiple assignments for a total of 18 years of living in Korea since 1972. Was only to happy to have departed, hopefully for the last time, in Nov 06. I do miss the taegee kalbi, ja jong myun, and chee gae though. My favorite was the fish soup "Tae Gu Tong" with rice. Oh, about the women with short pants and high heals... ever notice how so many of the Korean women has short legs compaired to their torso? It's peculiar. Almost all Korean women have this trait.
