Seoul Day 3! (finally...)

Let's talk about Day 3 of Seoul! Ya, I know...took me long enough to write about it. We've been really busy! After this, we have a blog post about our weekend in Busan, a city on the east coast of Korea! Anyway, back to Seoul!


Lotte World
After our breakfast of peanut butter and jelly toast with a cup of coffee, we headed to Lotte World! An amusement park outside the center of Seoul. It took us awhile to get there and then when we did, we saw an ENORMOUS line of people waiting to enter the park. After a quick chat with a woman in the information booth, we learned that it was too crowded and too long of a line to enter the part of Lotte World that required admission. Instead, we went exploring! We found an ice rink. Debated waiting in the line and then left. We found an arcade! So we played the basketball shooting game and the alligator hit-their-heads game. It was awesome. Next, we found a bowling alley and a shooting range! By this time, our friends were almost there and it was lunch time. So...we headed to the food court area in the Lotte department store. Yes, there is an enormous department store connected to a large amusement park. After lunch, we tried to go bowling but it was too crowded. We decided to leave Lotte World and head back to Dongdaemun to hang out before our dinner plans with our friend, Christa. 

Playing the alligator game!

One of the parts that required admission. We took it from the ice rink and restaurant area. 

A random fountain in a lobby area. Reminded us of Caesar's Palace in Vegas.

Dongdaemun
It started raining! So of course, our next idea was to go see a movie! We reserved our seats for Source code (movie theatres do assigned seating--it's awesome) and then spent a little over an hour shopping. In this time, Fluke bought 2 shirts, a pair of pants and a wallet. I bought a dress, a shirt and a wallet. There was so much to choose from and so much to look at! We still have to get his pants hemmed and I have not worn the dress yet. But...the weather is just now starting to get warm, so I'll be wearing it soon! After our mini shopping spree, we went to the movie! Source Code was an amazing movie. I highly recommend it to everyone. 


Dinner with Christa!
Christa took Fluke and me to a Mexican restaurant (of course haha) called Dos Tacos. We shared a plate of nachos and each got a burrito. It was definitely good Mexican food! The owners took a polaroid of us to put on their wall and Christa really wanted our copy, so she kept it. After dinner, we headed to the dog cafe! Please refer to our earlier post for more details on that! After the dog cafe, it was still early, so we headed to a norebang! Norebang is like karaoke. They had an incredible selection of English pop songs and we had trouble choosing which ones we really wanted to do. After singing for an hour and laughing a lot, we decided to call it a night!

We had an amazing weekend in Seoul and will definitely go back sometime. Phew, this concludes our blog posts on Seoul! Hope you enjoyed reading!

love and miss you,
