➹ a trail of tickets

I don't know why I never got around to making my Korean travel scrapbook. I kept almost all of my tickets and boarding passes as souvenirs but I just can't find the time to piece them together into a decent memorabilia of sorts. Now, a lot of them have already faded after all this time so I figured I'll just write this blog post in an attempt to immortalize some of my most favorite travel experiences.

☁ Changdeokgung ☁
I still have my ticket from that day we got lost inside Changdeokgung! Our lack of a sense of direction and map reading skills ended in us being unable to find the Secret Garden. This is why I took a preference for the guided palace tours hehehe.


☁ Everland ☁
This ticket is far too PLAIN and NORMAL to reflect the vivid wonderland that is inside this park. I vow to someday return to Everland and ride the T Express ㅋㅋㅋ.


☁ Namsan Cable Car + Tower ☁
Oh so apparently, I haven't really blogged about my many misadventures going up Namsan Tower. One of them being the tortuously scorching summer day when we decided to hike up to the cable car station~


On another occasion, we got the package for the teddy bear museum and the observation deck admission.


☁ Airport Limousine Bus ☁
I recently wrote about how fond I am of the airport limousine buses from Incheon. The tickets look pretty generic and quite chaotic ... At least it had a lot more information that my frantic just-landed-in-Korea-brain can manage haha!


☁ KTX to Daejeon ☁
Ahh, the 1-hr ride to Daejeon always bring in nostalgia. The tickets have changed a lot in 2 years. I wonder how they would look now.

➹ picturesque everland

I've been looking at our old Everland pictures since I learned that May 11 – June 17, 2012 is Everland's Rose Festival! How I wish I can be there to witness it now. My Everland pictures didn't have any roses on them but they're still a lovely set of memories I'm forever fond of.











I have always been a fan of parades ^^.







The safari tour was in Korean so we didn't understand everything the guide was saying. We didn't need to anyway hahaha, the animals were all too captivating!









Remember that Protect the Boss scene where Cha Jiheon was asking the Board members this question~ what do they think is their theme park's major competition? It's not other theme parks but smart phones, game consoles and the internet! That was brilliant and true! I especially like the part where they wanted to collect netizens' precious theme park memories since most (if not everyone) would have one.

I myself, can compare my complicated love-hate relationship with my smart phone, internet and other electronic consoles with my precious theme park memories! Spending a day out playing like a kid and not getting judged (too much) for it is just priceless and rare. Good thing South Korea has tons of theme park options so that I can always have that theme park day in my itinerary.




There's so much of Everland that I haven't seen yet! How I long to go back on a charming autumn day and finally see that Pororo 3D attraction we missed last time.
