July 30th & August 6th, 2002
Everland was packed when we arrived around 11, so we were forced to park in the furthest parking lot and take the transfer bus (3 trees was our space marker). It was very hot, so I was very concentrated on keeping us hydrated. We saw the pandas first and then afterwards stopped in a coffee shop (to hydrate and) for HK’s packed sandwiches washed down with a mango shake.
Highlights of the day: supersoaker park, the tiger & bear bus safari (waited 30 minutes in line, but our hand fan kept us cool enough), Mason won a little dinosaur (actually he lost and the staff gave it to him for free because they thought he was cute), we ate bugers and I won the basketball game (prize = enormous wolf-looking ball), but for Mason the best part of the day I think was the shark he bought at the gift store on the way out (very slick placement by Lotte).
Classic summer Saturday at Sadongrhee the next weekend: samgyup, swimming and a sunset.
