Day 5
As didi is feeling slightly better and mommy anticipate that i may fall sick soon (thats typical after one of us fall sick, the other will follow shortly), they decided to bring us to Everland before both of us are down. After much discussion the day before, daddy and mommy have decided to take a cab from our hotel doorstep right up to Everland. It cost almost 100 000won. It is expensive but it saves me and didi the trouble of getting up and down the trains and bus and also walking.
Going to everland is not so straightforward as it is located in Yongin, a suburb of Seoul, at 310 Jeondae-ri, Pogok-myeon, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do and we need to take a 45 min train and then change to a 1 hr bus journey up to the amusement park. So we rather sit comfortably in the taxi and reached there after abt an hr ride.
Everland amusement theme park is the biggest theme park in South Korea and It is ranked as the 4th theme park in the world by offering 5 main Festivals and exciting entertainments all year around. The park is home to over 40 heart-pounding rides and attractions and is one of the most popular places in Korea for families, friends, and couples.

As we visited Korea in Oct, its the Halloween Theme. Just look at the Big Pumpkin again....
I am simply delighted as I love Halloween.....the ghost...the skeletons etc. Just take a look at the number of photos i took just on the displays....woohoo....its enough to entertain me. Hmm....what abt didi??...He seems contented lying in his stroller enjoying the cool weather. Well...he's still nt feeling the best la due to the fever.
I'm gona hide under the ghost.....
Climb the tree? Yeah...I did it....
Next, if you are in everland, you have to visit the Zoo-topia. This is the place where it gives didi's the untold energy to spring up from his stroller, get on his feet and play around.....
My all time fav....the Crocodile...
Er...i wont want mommy's ear to grow so long.....just in case she can hear what mischeives i am up to easily...
We couldnt help but to hug these 2 eggs the moment we saw them...
Then, we started to terriotise the chicks.......
Ops...the tigers are in korea too!!
The sea lions are simply delighted to see me and didi...they couldnt keep their mouth shut but sing at an awful tone.....tsk tsk
The polar bears are sleeping....look at them...do you think they look like the ones in our zoo?? Turning green soon....
Ops....Who's that behind us???
Didi started to get tired and lie back on the stroller and enjoy his crispy fries...
My 1st loot from Everland....the skeleton hugger
Next is the road show.....dance dance to the beat of the music.....
We are just trying to help with the magic potion.....and add some ingredients to it.....nothing much.....
Ok....after that need to snap a pic before we dump the red and blue magic "balls" in ..... 
Is this the black birds or crows mommy has been telling us?? Beware....we need to walk in korea ..else the black birds gona catch us.........I have been a good boy...i walk ....catch didi if you want...he's the lazy one....Ops....
The Four Seasons Garden of Everland is decorated with beautiful flowers arranged in a French garden style. Surrounded by Holland-style architecture, the gardens are the stage for seasonal flower festivals (tulips from April to June, lilies from July to August, and chrysanthemums from September to October), laser shows, and musical fountain shows.
See?? Its real boring to keep taking pictures.....Only the dinos had us running ard the park.....
We didnt stay till the night as didi is not feeling well. Daddy and mommy didnt want to exhuast him out as we still have 3 more days to go. So we took the shuttle bus to the bus terminal and then another 1 hr ride bus ride before mommy couldnt stand the stuffy bus and changed to a cab back hotel.
empty stomach waiting for the yummy BBQ dinner!!!
Day 6
I started to get the fever symptoms from didi but anyway....even if sick...its still boring staying in the hotel.....Luckily we have covered all the places we wanted to visit and hmmm....What else is left??!! Its shopping day...We took a train to Myeong-dong for a walk and then to the nearby Namdaemun market for a wipeout shopping!

Myeong-dong is one of the busiest places in Seoul and is among Korea’s premier shopping destinations. Shops for clothing or cosmetics can be seen at every corner, and street stalls dot the spaces in between, offering tasty snacks, inexpensive clothes, or sparkling accessories. Just a note to all who are looking for facial products: Every Korean cosmetic brand has a branch in Myeong-dong. The market is home to roughly a thousand cosmetic shops and hundreds of skin-care stores.
Saw that on the map?? Mommy says it is huanting her down even when she is in Seoul. hehehe
After Myeong-dong, we headed down to Namdaemun Market.
Namdaemun Market is the largest traditional market in Korea. There, you can find textile goods, utensils, electronics, local produce, traditional crafts, imported goods, and much more. It distributes more than 90% of the children’s clothing sold nationwide. Foods beloved by Koreans--such as kimchi, pork hocks, and hairtails (beltfish add further to the market’s colorful atmosphere.
Before starting out shopping spree, we just had to try the juicy watermelon and honey dew from the fruit stall along the streets....... Rest well? and then we found ourselves lugging big big bags of goodies back to the hotel.
This is our lunch before we head back to the hotel for a rest and dinner before we head down to Dongdaemun market for another round of shopping......
