Seoul Land

Reuben and I spent a Saturaday at the famous Seoul Land amusement park. A wonderland of rides, games, cotton candy, and shows. We experienced crowds of people, mostly parents with young children and teenyboppers. Reuben and I were the only foreigners to visit Seoul Land on this day - and sometimes felt like the only foreigners some of these kids had ever seen. It is still a strange feeling at times, when every kid we pass stares at us or says 'hello' just because we are English speakers. The odd parents will hit their kid for staring too much - we just smile.


We snuck a camera on so that we could take some picture while we were riding. Korean roller coasters dont compare to Canada's Wonderland but there was still much fun to be had.
Reuben, enjoying the thrill of the ride - and preparing himself for the approaching double loop-di-loop.

Here is a picture of the entrance of the park. In preps for halloween - which they don't really even celebrate here, they have props and decorations galore.
This was my favorite ride... for 50 cents you can ride these furry little animals for about one minute. I'm not sure why, but we were the only ones on this ride.Reuben exceeded the height limit on a couple of the rides we went one. He just slouched so no one would notice. And despite his size, Reuben enojoyed this one too.
