Everland and After

Get ready People-On-The-Bus-Into-Everland where every day is a holiday! If loud English Kpop and disco lights won't do it, nothing will...

 Apparently, it-s already Halloween there!

Unless people just dress like this normally. Which, I guess is a possibility.

 Does every amusement park have a 50's section? They even had a ride called the "Twist and Turn" complete with Charleston music pictures of people swing dancing. Yes, the people waiting in line with me got a little show...

Also, the Sky Cruise cars in the top corners and the T-Express in the background. The T-Express was an enormous wooden roller-coaster with four big drops. Safe to say I was thrilled but scared the entire, long, ride.

Because People in America look like that? The Statue of Liberty is actually a fairly common motif around here, but no one can tell me why, and I certainly haven't seen any trends as to where she appears.










EEE! Twins dressed up like Cinderella waiting in line to take a picture with Mickey and Minnie dressed up in pumpkin costumes. Not sure if I've seen much of anything cuter than that! Also, a ceramic tree. Those grow over here.

This is in the "ancient Greek" section of the park. Corny? Maybe, nevertheless one of my favorite parts.

While this guy seems to be doing alright..........this guy - or at least his teeth - has probably seen better days!

And here we are...runny around, being silly, taking funny photos, and in general, just being a group of friends having a the time of their lives in a Korean amusement park!

For anyone who didn't know this, I really like flowers. fortunately, so did the designers of Everland! So once again, a shocked observer could have the joy of watching a white girl dance.

               

I believe that little animal in the right picture in the third row is a hummingbird. About 1" in length, and extremely bold. Also, I really love morning glories, and contrast. And flowers in unexpected places - such as rock walls. And purple. And yes, roses. Especially roses that are somewhat abnormal colors, and somewhat wild, and somewhat imperfect.

*HAPPINESS*

I would like to introduce my new friend Doxam P. Shine. I found him, slightly dirty, on the ground in Horror Village. (Which by the way, is a place where female zombies dance to disco music and male zombies are unexpectedly friendly and photogenic. Also, there are no pools of blood, witches, or screaming children. In other words, they saved the "horror" for the horror mazes so that children - and the rest of us - could enjoy Halloween without being scared to turn around. And anyone who wanted to feel scared could either go through the maze or ride the T-Express. But back to Doxam.) He then made the journey with me through an Amazon rain forest and we even got to drive bumper cars together for the first time! After saying goodbye to the only home he's ever known (see photo) he had a first rate view of Mr. Pizza's wonders, a nice long bus ride, and finally got to sleep after an exciting and tiring day of "firsts".

Mmmm! Pizza and yogurt. In the pizza crust, there is mashed sweet potato (I think). And in that plain yogurt, there are some almonds, and peanuts, and raisins, and a little honey. Basically, I experienced a little bit of heaven in that little bowl last night.

Ok, America, this is the way to make a salad bar. I don't know what Ruby Tuesday thinks they have going on, but whatever it is, well, they just need to take a jump across the big pond at get a load of Mr. Pizza!

After Doxam woke up, he showed me how to cook some made-from-scratch Spaghetti and sauce. And we might have broken a ceramic knife in the process. But that might just be a random picture I put in, you never know...

 Either way, breakfast was good. The Spaghetti could have been a little saltier and a little less cooked. And the meat could have been seasoned more. And there could have been more mushrooms and onions. And the sauce would've been better if I'd had all the spices separately like I normally do instead of having "Italian seasoning". But I doubt we would've enjoyed it any more regardless of if any of those things had been different. I guess though, that Doxam is out-of-practice cooking! We should change that.

And finally, just in case I had any intentions of having any other kind of coffee:

The only thing that could have made my coffee any nicer, is a cookie. Or two or three. I really want a cookie right now. I hope that my new pet fox decides to make cookies next.
