Today we went to Lotte World. Lotte(pronounced low-tay - yeah, I know!) World is a massive amusement park in the centre of Seoul. Most of it is indoors but there's an outdoor bit too. We're annual pass holders(we emailed about a discounted online pass, were advised that we could get an even better discount if we met some random woman at an ambiguous location, didn't meet said random woman but got the special discount when she turned up an hour later at a different location with her elderly father having waited for us for 90 minutes) and go often. Today was ridiculously busy because it's the school holidays but we still managed to get on a few good rides(most of which are shamelessly stolen from Disney or other theme parks since intellectual property is a foreign concept in Korea).
We got stared at a bit and Katherine got kicked on the arse by an old man but there wasn't a repeat of the 'staring hag incident' from our last visit, where a hag stared at us for about 30 minutes without breaking off the stare because Katherine told her not to queue jump. The staring hags on the metro didn't disappoint though. We feel like celebrities in this country.
Tonight we had 2 for 1 fish and chips at the Wolfhound. It's an "irish" bar in Seoul. It's full of awful people but the food is great and the champagne cocktails are cheap and delicious.
We had a minor disappointment at the International Food Mart when they ran out of salt and vinegar crisps(see below by Kathy) but otherwise we've had an excellent vacation - well it beats teaching anyway.
