The Turtle Traveller: 2009-09-13

>> Saturday, September 19, 2009

Our skiing was scheduled to be tomorrow morning and when we went for our dinner at the resort I saw this...""brrrrr". The temperature at various cities of Korea.

After dinner it was already past 8pm and we went for a walk around the ski resorts while watching other people skiing at night. This "Hot Heaty chimmey" is a welcome sight.

YongPyong Ski Resort

>> Friday, September 18, 2009

Skiing is now very popular in South Korea, with about 70% of South Korean territory is occupied by mountains. Most Korea ski resorts have facilities with accommodation, restaurants, shops and other entertainments.

Yongpyong ski Resort, which is shown here at the picture, Palwang Mountain, about 200 km east of Seoul, at 700 – 1500 metres of altitude.

It is currently the biggest ski resort in Korea, which will be where I am staying .

T Express ( Everland )

Can you see that ??

The T Express still in construction at that time and was due to operate in a month..
Arrrr, I miss it. Would have worn my Final Destination3 T shirt to take a ride.

T Express is a wooden roller coaster at Everland in Yongin, South Korea. It is South Korea's first wooden coaster and also the first ride of this type in Asia. Currently it's the world's steepest wooden coaster and also the world's ninth fastest, fourth tallest, and sixth longest wooden coaster.

T Express was ranked as the world's #1 best, most thrilling roller coaster in the world by the Themepark Review (themeparkreview.com).

R U Game !?!?!

To Fan or Not To Fan

Anyone know what this is ??

If your answer is fan, well, you are only half right beacuse this is not your usual fan. This is a "HOT" fan, which emits heat from the centre tube to combat the coldness in a Q lobby at Everland park.

Creative eh ?!

Any Bulls Around ??? I want a BULL Market !!

We were passing by these grizzly bears ( in a bus ) when the driver suddenly stops beside them.

At this point of time, the bear suddenly stand on it's two hind leg and walk towards us.

Although I believed that our safety is still "intact", I somewhat still feel a little bit........

hehehehe.

Double Horsey

>> Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Very unique building structure with 2 horsey statues above. Take note that the background is actually a big painting on the wall showing some of the lower floor biuildings. Very special.

I just couldn't help but snapped away in my camera.

Stack up turtles

Saw this on my way to a performance

in EVERLAND. I actually took dozen of photos

with these cute turtles.

If only I can bring them back : )

Cultural dance performance

>> Tuesday, September 15, 2009

Some of the cultural dance performances

in Everland. I especially like the one wearing the

masks on the left. They show very slick moves and

combine with the colourful costumes and heart stomping

music. It was highly entertaining and when the show ends, all the audience

cheer and applaud the performers.

Everland

Everland is actually a theme park in Yongin situated at Gyeonggi-do province, South Korea. It is South Korea's largest theme park and in the year 2007, was ranked tenth in the world for amusement park attendance. Within the main attraction, Everland includes also a wildlife "open concept" zoo and a water theme park known as Caribbean Bay. The ushers, like the one you saw on the right, wears colourful yet with a traditional korean touch costume, were all very helpful, couteous and professional. There are also a delight to watch :)
