LotteWorld

So we had another fieldtrip at the kindergarten today. We had originally been told that we were going to a farm. But it turns out that plans changed and we went to Lotteworld. Lotteworld is a huge amusment park. We traveled by bus about 45 minutes to get there. The kids were super hyped about going. Once we got there I was totally amazed. This place was huge. It had three levels below the main floor and three levels below. It also had three different nice sized rollarcoasters, a waterride, a 3-d theater, all sorts of kiddie rides, a Viking Swining Boat Ride, restaurants,a  huge stage and an ice skatting rink to name a few.


Once we got there, we rode a few of the kiddie rides with the kids. There were alot of other schools there too. Everyone with each school group had a matching (very bright) outfits on. It was crowded but we had passes so we got on the rides pretty quickly. The kids were hilarious to watch. They are so dramatic anyway but on these rides they were overly dramatic.


Then lunch time came. The kids brought thier lunches just like any typical fieldtrip. Except, here in Korea, kids don't bring sandwiches they bring "kim-bop". Its like the Korean version of a sandwich. Its actually seeweed with rice and a variety of other things in teh middle. So you can have kim bop with ham, or cheese, pineaple, shrimp, veggies etc. And guess what? The teachers had kim-bop too for lunch. It might sound weird but its actually really good.  But one thing doesnt change about lunches. The kids brought their desserts. Soon, the kids were trading snacks and arguing over who won rock-paper-scissors to get the last snack,


After lunch is when the fun began. We we got to go on the fun rides like the Viking Boat (which a gigantic boat that swings like a pendulum pretty high in the air), a 3-d movie ride through a Pharoah's tomb, a spinning cup ride and several others. I wanted to take some of the older kids on one or two of the bigger rollercoasters but Hannah veto'd that. Too bad, though. I think the kids would have liked that.


It was a fun day. One things, I was was really shocked at (and happy to see) that kids never once begged for treats, candy or toys. (And there were plenty there). They didn't complain about not getting to ride something and were very well behaved. I was pretty proud of our kids.


But we did wear them out. On the way home, a lot of the younger ones fell asleep. I think I even saw some of the teachers nodding off, too. I took some pics of all the sleepers but unfortunately my picture card was corrupted and I only saved a few pics. But it was fun but I am exhausted from all the fun of today. I think I'm ready for bed.
