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
