The Everland Blog!

So, this past Saturday Christie, Jillian, and I went to Everland. It is this knock-off Disney Land that Koreans go ape over. It was actually really fun except for...it was wicked cold, there were way too many fricking people, and everything that was supposedly representing the "culture" of America was so incredily stereotypical, it was ridiculous. Ok...imagine you just walked into the WORST chinese food restraunt a po-dunk midwestern town has to offer. Now imagine the horribly gaudy chintz that would provide the decor for such a place. Take that level of gaudiness, and color over every stereotype of America that you can think of--from cowboys and indians to circus performances...ok, you now have an idea of the level of stereotyping that went into Everland's representation of "western culture!" It was almost too hilarious to be insulting! Almost...But other than that...it was really fun! Here are some slideshows of pictures, as well as some video! Hope you enjoy! And make sure you pay particular attention to my new FAVORITE accessory! Don't fear the Pink Bear!

The Park itself! EVERLAND



Some shots from the day!



The super-fun spinning ride! So much fun!



And now a short video demonstrating the fun!



So, this next part is great...I conquered and tamed the rare and elusive Giant Panda!



Here is video proof of my "Wild Animal Tamer" skills! I'm like the next Jack Hannah! LOL!



And for the final touch, we closed the night out at our neighborhood bar, and our friend Jiro went and bought us Pepero (it was Pepero day...which is kind of like Valentine's Day, only the boys give the girls these chocolate covered biscuits). When we got there, Jiro and his friend snuck out of the bar, to the local store on the corner and bought us Pepero! It was so sweet!



OK...so I hope you enjoyed all the picture fun! Post lots of comments about my fabulousness!
