Soojeong's Birthday: Seoul Land

Yesterday was Soojeong's birthday and to celebrate we went to an amusement park called Seoul Land. We took a train mid-morning and headed off to the park. Summer break has yet to start for most of the students in Korea, so the park was not crowded at all. There were some kindergartners and high school students that we ran in to, but I think the most we had to wait to ride a ride was 8 minutes. There were a few roller coasters with loops and corkscrews, and there was also a free-fall tower among other things. Usually you have to wait anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to ride any of those rides, but we were able to walk up to the free-fall tower and only be 2 of 3 people on the whole ride. Like I said, it wasn't crowded at all.

We spent most of the day there at the park, and it was just nice to have a long and relaxing date after what seems like forever. That evening we took the train back to an area called Myeong-dong and met up with our friends for dinner and dessert. Soojeong's best friend Goeun's birthday was just a few days ago, so we celebrated both of their birthday's. Dinner was very nice and so was the coffee and chocolate brownie we ate afterwards. What a way to wind down the day.
