Up for a theme park day today. Breakfast is at Paris Baguette which is near the Chuungmuro subway station near the hotel. This shop has already opened it branches in Singapore but I think this is the first time I patronized the place. An affordable way to start the day!

Then, we proceeded to Gangnam via the subway so as to catch the bus to Everland. Shopping first as there are shops at the Gangnam underground station. After a fruitless shopping spree, we headed outside for lunch. Street stall wasn't really a must-try in my travel list though I knew that they should be authentic. But well, this time round, we proceeded to explore food street and managed to find one which we felt comfortable.
The ajumma (aka auntie in Korean saying) was very friendly. Though she does not speak English, she made the effort to make us feel comfortable. She even taught me the korean words for the food we ordered and then set a quiz for me to answer at the end. Nice interaction with her and nice food as well. We often watched the actors in drama eating at the stalls and well, finally we tried it. Payment was only made at the end before you leave the stall. So, do not attempt to pay upfront!

Waiting for the bus to bring us to fairy land! BUS No. 5002 ( 50 mins, 1,800 won) will do the wonder.
Gangnam Station (Line 2) (10 mins, 1050 won) . Exit 10 and walk straight. Currently, the bus stand is near to Krispykreme Doughnuts.
We spent the rest of the day at Everland. The second time there, and I still felt excited. New experience with new company with longer stay there.
Tulips season and that's beauty!

I don't remember seeing so many animals back in 2006 but this round, we really have a close up with the giraffe. Pretty insane when you were caught off guard that the giraffe just pop its head through the window of the bus. Quite shock but that's cool!

Visited the ligers before and watched the black bears' performances. Same gimmick, but it never fails to impress all on the bus. Interestingly on how they were trained to perform to us. Food is really a good lure for them.

T Express - the wooden roller coaster - was probably the highlight for me. Queued for 40 minutes to get a minute of thrill. Pretty much impressed by the wooden concept and well, another experience as the Korean guy beside me was really freaked out throughout the ride.

Dinner at one of the cafes in the theme park as we wanted to catch the lights parade. Pretty decent meal.

Lights parade really brighten up the dark night. Not that impressive if you have caught the Disney Parade before. A very short route to display the whole show. Need not stay for this, if you have other night plans.

Supper was strawberries and an interesting combination of instant noodle + rice.
