Korea D-3 - Everland, Namsan Tower, Chimaek

For day 3, we planned to go to Everland and Namsan Tower. Let's Go!

EVERLAND

There are two famous theme park in South Korea, Everland and Lotte World. We decided to go to Everland since we saw this place many times in variety show especially Running Man. You could buy the ticket there but we bought the ticket from Klook to get some discounts :D

We off from the studio at 8 AM, and this is a wrong decision! If you stay around Myeongdong, you need about 2 hours to Everland. It’s better for you to go early so you can have so much time at Everland. We go there using Metro and we have to transit 3 times. When we’re waiting for Metro, we met Ahjuma. Suddenly she offered us that she want to take picture of us after seeing Indar took a picture of me waiting for the Metro. These are the pictures taken by the Ahjuma.

the ahjuma is the one with orange outfit (look at the window)

taken by ahjuma

I’m so happy to see this Ahjuma. She’s so kind to offered pictures of us even though she doesn’t know how to use camera. Unfortunately we didn’t take a picture together.

On the last station, we take shuttle bus that will take us to front gate of Everland.

3rd Train to Everland

Shuttle Bus to Everland

Our track: Sky Cruise – Four Seasons Garden – Sky Way - Lost Valley – Penguin & Sea Lions – Tiger Valley – Panda World

In Front of Everland Entrance

My advice is to go to Zootopia (Lost Valley) first, because you’ll find long queue if you're coming late. We wait there almost 45 minutes and been there only for 5-10 minutes *thanks to my strong legs*

Marche au Fleurs

First ride is Sky Cruise, we thought that this is Sky Lift. After that we walk to Four Seasons Garden.

If you visit here on Spring, you must go to Four Seasons Garden at European Adventure. The flowers SOOO BEAUTIFUL & SMELL SO GREAT!! We spend most of time at here XD If you go here at the end of April, you should go to Rose Garden.

Magical Tulip Garden

After that I would like to ride Ferris Wheel. But Indar afraid of heights, we don’t play many rides in Everland :(

We started to feel hungry after a long journey here, so we have lunch at KFC. I didn’t see many restaurant open that time. So it’s better for you to bring some foods while here. The KFC theme is so cute! They bring 80’s vibes here. You also should do self-service at this KFC *I don't know if all KFC in South Korea is like this or not*. You should clean up your foods & drinks by yourself. And you won’t find washroom here, so don’t forget to bring wet tissue.

Sky Lift to European Adventures

After having lunch, we rode the Sky Lift before going to Zootopia. There so many place to visit at Zootopia but we decided to Lost Valley. At first we didn’t find many people waiting here, but then we were stuck on long queue for almost 45 minutes here. The reason why I really wanted to go here is the amphibi bus. I really long to ride this after watching on Running Man.

We don’t have much time since we want to catch sunset at Namsan Tower. So we decided to go to Panda World for our last destination :( We have to walk uphill, but the scenery so beautiful. If you don't bring tripod or selfie stick, don't be too shy to ask help from other to take your picture (it's really unfortunate if you don't take pictures with your friends while you're here).

first time to see real panda

We go back around 3.30 PM.

Tips: You should spend one day & go early to enjoy all of rides. If you want to enjoy the night carnival, make sure you ask the staff first if they have the schedule while you're there. Because there's many rides and when will you experience this again?!

NAMSAN TOWER

Namsan Tower is near to our studio. So we back to Chungmoro St. You have two options transportation, Namsan Circular Shuttle Bus or Namsan Cable Car. We take Namsan Circular Shuttle Bus No. 02 to Namsan Tower. It only costs 200 KRW but you have to wait longer than Metro.

Circular Shuttle Bus to Namsan Tower

When we arrived there, there’s no tree starts to bloom. And we have to walked quite far to Namsan Tower or maybe because we were too tired after long way in Everland.

You could buy love lock on Namsan Tower. The price is vary from 8,000 KRW to 10,000 KRW quite pricey for a lock. It’s better if you bring your own lock to save your money. We found many people not only use love lock but also handphone case, key chains, and more. Even there's people put their name cards there.

love locks and many :)

We used telescope to see Seoul from top *EXCITEEDD*. You have to insert some coins to use it.

Seoul View from Namsan Tower

We don't have enjoy night view from Namsan Tower since our battery camera already died, so we go back to our studio before having dinner.

CHICKEN & BEER (Chimaek)

If you love know Korea culture, you must know this. Koreans love to eat fried chicken with beer, they call this Chicken & Beer or Chimaek. We decided to ate this for the dinner *of course not include the beer everybody*

many restaurant on neighbourhod

We search the popular Chimaek around Myeongdong but decided to eat near our Studio. There's many restaurant near our Studio and the restaurant is crowded at night. We met many people having dinner together after work. We ate at Chicken Chef (I forgot the flavor but the taste so great!).

The chicken is AMAZIINGGG!!! I never find good korean chicken like this in Jakarta. The portion is so big since we only two. We didn’t forget to order rice here (They usually not to eat rice while having Chimaek).

the eonnie

Even the waitress so beautiful! look at to myself While we’re waiting for our order we started to talk that the eonnie could be an artist in Jakarta XD We decided to bring half of the chicken since we’re full.
