If there was a water park in heaven it would be called Everland

Today was a nice warm(ish) day so a few of us decided to go to the waterpark just outside of seoul. Its supposedly the largest indoor and outdoor waterpark in the world. It was amazing, about a half our or so outside the city and one of the korean co-teachers drove us there today.

As you can imagine since it was a waterpark I didn't have the opportunity to snap too many pictures but this park was just beautiful. They built it way up in the mountains and just the scenery around you when you're climbing the towers to get on a slide was totally worth it.

On another note the main reason why I absolutely love Seoul so far is that Koreans are the most hospitable people I have ever met. Again today I experienced a random act of kindness to welcome me to their country. I had just bought my ticket and I was waiting for my friends when a Korean couple approached me. Of course they couldn't speak much english they were also about my age and they tried to offer me a free ticket to the water park as a gift and kept saying welcome welcome to korea. This sort of thing happens pretty often and regularly when we go out Koreans invite me to their table to speak and chat. The last time this happened one of the guys from the group also paid for our entire tab as he left the bar. Pretty amazing people....

Here are a few pics of the waterpark. Some hilarious things of note I want to share:

1.) I dont know if I mentioned this before but when Korean women leave the house they are dressed immaculately no faults make up is amazing, heels all the time, and dressed perfectly. Anyways a great example of this today was that most of the women at the waterpark wear heels everywhere. I even saw women wearing their heels onto some of the tube slides. When I say heels i mean HEELS, stiletto heels lol.

2.) Second thing is that koreans have some sort of crazy hair phobia I think. There isn't a pool in the country that you can swim in without bringing your own swim cap. EVERYONE in the water park was wearing a swim cap.

3.) You have to wear life jackets to go a certain depth in the wave pool but most koreans wore them on all the slides too lol even though there was only abut an inch of water. lol good times

This was the main entrance to the waterpark.

From the other side of the wave pool, you can see slides straight ahead on the hill and to the left. This place was just MASSIVE.

Craziest wave pool ever it actually created 2.4m cresting and crashing waves it felt like you were in the ocean.

That building was the 6 floor indoor water park section of the place.
