Snow Buster means Snow Sledding!

hello guyssss! Merry Christmas!
I miss white christmas so badly. hahaha. well, I dont celebrate Christmas, but you know Christmas's atmosphere is always so lovely.

Today i will introduce the good activity for your winter holiday in Korea. It's called 눈썰매 (Nun Seolmae).. or you can  say it Snow Sledding.

I think Snow Sledding is the best choice for someone who cant do ski. You can still play with snow without spending much money for renting ski equipments. As I heard from my Korean friends, when you cant skate, it means you cant do ski as well. wuhahaha. So, all of them recommend me to do Snow Sledding instead of Ski.

There are so many places in Seoul, Korea which open snow sledding field during winter season. Here are some places:
1. Ttukseom Hangang Park, Seoul
2. Snow Sledding Park in Seoul Grand Park, Seoul
3. Everland Amusement Park, Gyeonggi-Do

I tried the third one. I went to Everland with Luna eonni, and we tried Snow Buster!!! :D
My friend said that usually there's super long queue for Snow Buster, but I guess I was so lucky that day, so we didnt have to queue!

First we have to take tire for our self and go up with escalator. you will arrive in half minute! hohohoho.

We took some pictures first before sledding. hahaha. Do you know T-Express? Its the famous wooden rollercoaster. Yes, it's right behind us!

take a pic with the tire!

we had to  ride the sleigh one by one. Luna eonni tried to do first.  We're both so excited that time huahahha.

here we go!

bye eonni! hahaha

holla snow! its my turn~

It was faster than I thought to be honest. I prepared my camera to record my experience, but you know, It ended with superb-shaking-video. Dont get dizzy when watching this, okay?

 

After like 30 seconds, you will arrive. It's so addicting so I swear you want to do it again for the second time.

That's all! hope you can enjoy your winter holiday in Korea~ see u on my next post~ hohohoho. Merry Christmas!

MIES Container: Good Foods, Good Male-Waiters

hello! this is my first post about culinary spot in Korea. hohoho
its not korean food though, but its recommended place to go!

yup! MIES Container in Gangnam~

they have 2 branches in Seoul, which are located in Gangnam and i-forgot-where-it-is. But I made a visit to the Gangnam branch that time.

Since it is almost impossible to find a stylish restaurant serving delectable food at affordable prices in Gangnam, its popularity has practically hit the roof.

You have to wait several minutes or even hours to go inside the restaurant. the waiting list is always soooo long. my friend and I ended with an hour waiting even though we went there at 4PM. usually i never have to wait to go inside when going to restaurant around 4PM though, since its too late for lunch nor too early for dinner.

the waiting list T_T

The atmosphere inside Mies pretty much screams one word – Macho. The open loft structure is constructed like a factory, with the slogan ‘Wipe and Tighten and Oil!’ written on the wall in Korean.

 They even have numbered construction helmets to identify orders. All the waiters are young and hot (and male), and overly friendly towards customers, especially women.

If you are a woman, you will love this place very much. trust me! lol. you can feel Hallyu-Stars are everywhere inside the restaurant. with their good bodies and good appearances. they will give you high-five after your orders are served.

We tried to order Nacho for both of us. and when it came to our table, WOW so big! the good news is the price is so affordable. we paid 16,500 won for that big nachos and fruit salad.

16,500 won - Mies Style Nacho Platter

when its getting darker outside, the waiter will give candle for each table. candle light dinner with pretty onnie!
that time we did chit-chat until around 7pm. because that night was the last night for Luna, and my last-2-days before coming back to Indonesia T_T

if you love handsome guys, delicious foods, hip-hop musics and cheap prices, go there!

is there any restaurants with only male as waiters in your hometown? ^^

Magic Island: Lotte World

heihooo~
deciding to post something today since im so free.. u know, sometime its just so boring to wait until 5.30pm everyday for going home without doing anything in working hours.

okay, have u heard about Lotte World? Lotte World is one of must-visit-place when you go to Seoul. its amusement park with indoor and outdoor area.
Everland has more attractions than Lotte World, but you should check their Gyro Drop!

entrance gate

You have to pay 44,000 won (adult) for the entrance fee. but dont worry, usually you can get discount for foreigner. they usually have some events for foreigner in their website.
or you can also check we make price's website or ticket monster or coupang for cheaper price.
those websites are the most popular website in Korea for buying the cheap voucher or discount voucher.

Once you entered the entrance fee, you will love it.

They have indoor and outdoor area. Lotte World attracts many visitors with their ski-rink. but unfortunately you have to pay extra fee for ski-rink.
if you know Korean drama Full House, you might know that Lotte World's Ski Rink.

For outdoor area, they called it Magic Island. It has more than 5 attractions in outdoor area. And you can see beautiful castle as soon as u arrived in outdoor area.

We went there on winter season, so its quite windy that time. Going to amusement park on winter is such  uncomfortable for me, because u need to wear your gloves, your thick jacket, shawl, etc etc etc.
but, the queuing should not that long, like you will find on summer.

I dont understand why people want to take a ride for this kind of attraction! but you know, i was the only one who chose to stay while my friends were so excited to have a try.

For lunch, they have many restaurants with different varieties. Im sure one of them will match your tongue. Its little bit pricey though T_T you know because its amusement park, so u cant find the cheap foods here.

We decided to choose fried rice as our lunch (because thats the cheapest one. LOL). 8000 won for fried rice! and as usual, korean always has soup whenever you eat. so here we go, fried rice + seaweed soup.

since the waiting list was so long, so we've finished it in 20 minutes. we wanted to try French Revolution (Lotte World's roller coaster), but it's not good idea since we've just finished our lunch.
So, we decided to try air balloon and just went around.

save me puhleaseee~

And they also have eye-museum-corner.  if you know eye museum in Jeju or Hongdae, you know what i mean.

pretty devi onni!! :* smooch u

And then, the best part of amusement park is the parade! there are 5 times of parade in a day if im not mistaken. but you know, we're too busy queuing so totally forgot about this one.we could see from 3rd floor while having our dinner that time.

If you ask me, whats my favorite attraction, i would proudly say MERRY GO ROUND!
im falling in love with this one, so i always always always ride merry go round whenever i go to amusement park. some people will refuse to ride it because its too wasting time, but its just too sweet to be skipped!

heihooooo lets go up and down with you guys!

Usually they have specific theme, like Halloween around September and October, Christmas around November until December etc etc etc.
we went there on December, so they were in jingle bell atmosphere because Christmas was around the corner.

 

Last but not least, we've tried Ghost House.. You have to pay 3000 won more for this one, but i think you have to try it! its just..... interesting! yet scary huaahaha.

we've spent more than 10 hours there. time always ticking so fast when we enjoy it.

I hope i can go to Lotte World again with my sisters on my next-korea-trip :)

Snowy Day in Korea

Snow!

I live in this world for 21 years and 2 months, but it's my first time seeing the snow a month ago(?)
The first snow in Seoul was officially coming down on November 18, 2013.
I saw my friend's pic on Facebook, and i was like, "are u not too early to post last year picture of snowy day on facebook?"
and Im so suprised when i read the caption "first snow in seoul today"

so I said to my team member that im going to toilet to see outside (because the window is quite far from my seat, and i was on training that time), and when i saw outside the window, damn its real!
so pretty.. I know im such a dorky people, but i bet i was going to cry that time. because i was so touched, and suddenly miss my sisters and dad. It would be nice if you guys could see snow like me. T_T
 
And the day after, the snow also came to Seoul. but maybe because the temperature was not cold enough (around 0 degree that time) so the snow melt as soon as they reached the ground.

On December 12, when I totally forgot about my winter, suddenly another snow came down. so pretty.
and it covered the ground with the pretty white color.
Finally, i could see my snow wonderland in real life.

December 14, I went to Inha University to play around with Devi. She was in exam period, so she couldnt go to Seoul because she had to study.
I guess the snow came heavier than in Seoul that time. I was so so so so so happy. its so cold, but i didnt care. We did (fake.lol) snow fight and some photoshoot around the campus.

I will never ever forget my first experience with snow. Having December time in other countries which have winter season is my dream since I'm child.
Thanks God. I love my 2013 so much. I hope my 2014 will be much much much moremoremoremore fabolous than this year :')

Last picture of the day. pardon my dorky side. hohohoho.
