Seoul: Teenage Playland

Today I pretended I was a teenage again and went to the Lotte World amusement park.  It's the Lotte company's version of disney world, except Mickey is a Bear in a Raccoon suit that forgot to put on the Raccooon face paint.  You even have to walk through a pinkish castle to get to the main them park area (hello Cindarella castle).  The park was still neat, despite being packed.  I was taken by my friend Miyoo (who lives in Seoul).  The 2 rides we got to go on were both fun.  The lines we waited in were kinda interesting too.  I noticed that Korean teenages like to throw their friend's food on the ground and then hit them in the shoulder in the most non apologetic way.
After the them park Miyoo and I went bowling without having to go outside.  The theme park, a mall, a department store, an ice rink, an arcade, and a subway station are all hugging like care bears on ectasy in a subterranean playpin.  You would never know how many days had passed.  Perfect for an interstellar spaceship.
Miyoo showed me some cold noodle dish for dinner.  It was excellent.  We also got super giant mandu (dumpling).  I just had a brilliant idea for a mandu themed food truck name: supermandu.  The logo should be obvious.

these girls took a surprise picture of me, so I returned the favor
