This morning I sorted out my days with Ryo, so hopefully everything is mostly-accurate from here. Annie kept a scrapbook of EVERYTHING we did so it would have been better of me to take photos of her pages to go by.. Maybe I'll do that if we get to meet up while I'm still here!



The second day we got a good start just down the road at the cafe called 'Yoger Presso'. I think I tried to order a waffle since it was so cold but Hattie and I ended up with.. plain frozen yoghurt instead?? It was really good, just not expected! From there Annie and I followed the two who actually knew what they were doing to Lotte World!


A view from Above

Impressive! Lotte World is an Amusement park, and since we went on a holiday, there were so many people! A lot of children.. But this is just the inside section. There are a lot of different rides (the more fun ones were height restricted HAHAHA) and restaurants all around plus more outside, and it was pretty cheap for a day pass since I was still just young enough to buy a child's ticket ㅋㅋㅋ
We had a lot of fun! One of the cutest thing about Lotte World is all the animal headbands.. everyone wears them. Of course everyone in our group bought one (even though I wasn't excited about it at the time,, it's a cute keepsake now). The Gyro Swing was one of the coolest rides, but the best part was the staff working on the Gyro Drop.. as they explained the usual safety precautions they did parts of Crayon Pop's '빠빠빠' jumping dance.


Imagine this, but with attractive men who are telling you to hold on to handrails.

There was a group before us who had challenged each other not to touch the handrails at all, so we all decided to do that.. on top of it we decided at the end of the ride we also wouldn't touch our hair to fix it like literally every other person was doing. It was great! I have to get the photos from someone.
We stayed pretty late, and then a bit later when we saw all the figure and speed skaters practicing down on the ice rink, but we eventually made it out and headed over to Mouse Rabbit (MouBit for short). It's a cafe/restaurant run by one of the Super Junior members' family and it's pretty popular!


Fun Fact the cafe is named after the two sons' chinese Zodiac signs

The main floor inside is completely decorated with little figures and knick-knacks and a tree in the middle of the floor. The atmosphere is really nice! There are family photos of Yesung and his brother everywhere, as well as fan-made drawings and dolls. I'm not a Super Junior fan, though, so I was mostly concentrated on the One Piece collections everywhere and the food. Which is good, by the way. The drinks are a good size if you want to sit and talk for a while, which we ended up doing down in the lower level.


Perfect study space
There are flower petals sealed into the floor. I want that for my home!! While the main floor was pretty crowded and cluttered, the lower deck was quieter and only about half-filled with people like us who were winding down from a fun day and a few studious individuals. Ryo was pretty tuckered out from the day and rested the whole time, so Annie, Hattie and I carried on a conversation that ran from work and fashion to a really in-depth discussion of card games for some reason. Hattie let me try her red-bean patbingsu!! My new favourite dessert!

Anyways, after we were completely done with all of our snacks (Hattie's was served in a HUGE Pyrex liquid measuring cup) we headed back for the night. Had to get rested for the next day: Hattie's birthday!!!!
