Summer was already there.


Spring is always too short. While I feel the spring was beginning, the summer comes silently to somewhere and waits for its time quietly, hiding its burning power .

(Thick ginko leaves, at Chongdong street, Saturday morning. )


The last Sunday was the day I could feel how powerful the coming summer would be. On such a sunny and hot day, we went to Everland, one of the largest theme parks or amusement parks in this country. Quite crowded and we had to be in line at least 10 or 15 minutes to take attractions. Kids are so young, and the attractions we could take were limited but luckily less-crowded. We spent most of time at the Aesop's Village, where kids liked very much and consited of Aesop's Fables like the Fox and the Crane Restaurant, the Hare and the Tortoise Mini-Rollercoaster, the Lion and the Mouse Resque(Popping Ships), and so on.


(Aesop's Fables Area, Everland. I took this picture from the top of the Ferris Wheel. The next one is the map for the area.)



As for my litle girl, she had been to this kind of parks before several times but for the first time, looked enjoy ridings. Fabulous, but we all were exausted after wandering more than 4 hours. It would be better to go to the water park near.

(The last job of the day: Bubble bath)


PS1. My mom and nephew joined in. But we were very surprised when mom had lost her balance and tumbled over with my daughter by accident on the clear and flat pavement before taking on my car at home. She got only some bruise on her knee. At the park, I felt she's got old, became an old women to be cared of.

PS2. Whenever I go to Everland, I'm impressed at their insights and foresights. Yongin City-now it is almost within the Seoul metropolitan area- had not been a closed spot from Seoul when it opened 30 years ago.

PS3. One of reasons to go there was a promotion by credit card companies- 50% discount for daily-pass tickets and gifts. After I got a tiger doll and a tiger pencil case, I recognized I had conformed myself to their marketing plays... the bitters...
