Lotte World 2014

( Just the boys )

Lotte World [롯데월드]
2014.02.22 @ 잠실 [Jamsil]

With Celia's time dwindling, we did our best to have a little extra fun. Celia, Wyatt, CJ & I met up with Alyssa & Ryan at 잠실역 [Jamsil Station]. We ate some pizza at a nice little Italian restaurant within Lotte World and spent the rest of our time there riding rides. We rode the Gyro Swing & the Gyro Drop. I think the big drop tower was definitely to best. We also rode the Mummy's Curse & the indoor roller coaster, the French Revolution. We arrived pretty late in the day, so we didn't get to ride everything. Also, Atlantis was closed... bummer.

How to get to Lotte World [롯데월드]:

Jamsil Station [잠실역] (Seoul Subway Line 2 & 8)

Jamsil station is connected to Lotte World, so just head out to the station and follow the signs.

How to get to Phillies Pub in 해방촌 [Haebangchon]:

Noksapyeong Station [녹사평역] (Seoul Subway Line 6) - Exit 2

Walk straight out of exit two for about 5-6 minutes. A new road will soon appear on you left. If you see a large number of kimchi pots stacked on the left, you know that you're going the right direction. Follow that street for about 5 minutes, and you'll see Phillies Pub on your left.
