On our 17th day in South Korea we went on a fun-fun trip to have a fun-fun day at an amazing and special place that's called Everland. Everland is one of the biggest theme parks in South Korea. To get there we first had to take the subway to the Giheung station. From there we had to transfer to the Yongin Ever Line, which is a new subway line that goes directly to the area of Everland...
Arriving at Giheung station we had to get out of the subway station to transfer to the Ever Line at another subway station. To get there we needed to get topside and walk towards the other station which took 3 to 5 minutes...
When we've gotten to the other station, the subway train was getting ready to leave for the area of Everland.We got onboard it in time and it left immediatly. But even if we missed this one, another one will arrive after each 6 minutes.
And then it's OFF TO EVERLAND!!! (^__^)V
The ride took about 20 minutes to get to Everland, where you will arrive at the Shuttle Bus Station. There you can take the Shuttle Bus for free to go to the Entrance of the Everland Resort...
The Bus ride took about 3 to 5 minutes to get from the Subway station to the Entrance of Everland.
We finally got to Everland and it really looks amazing in front of the Entrance. The place really looks magical and fun to hang out. We also wanted to go to this place because Running Man has used this Theme Park a few times as it's filming location. But no more time to waist, let's hurry up and get inside this magical place! XD

And Yeah, we finally has gotten in the park. Because Halloween is coming up, the park has been decorated with Halloween items to get on the Halloween Spirit.
We were very lucky to had great weather on that day. It was really sunny and pretty warm in the month of october. The weather was good to take nice pictures of the theme park...
Entering Everland it was a dream come true for us. We've longed for a long time to get here. The theme park was really big and it took some time to get to the other side of the park. It was walking and hiking from place to place because of the location in hte mountins. But then again we had a really great time there and also a workout. So we kinda did some sports during our vacation mission. XD
While walking trough the park we saw many Halloween decorations. During the day it already looked really awesome, but when it got dark it even looked better with creepy lighting effects. If you really like to celebrate Halloween, then this is the place to be when you are in South Korea.
During our walk we saw many attractions, shops, restaurants and photo spots. The park even has a Zoo that visitors can check out. There are a lot of animals in the Zoo part of the theme park.
Because Pororo is the mascot for many children in Korea, you can also find him here in Everland with his friends. Pororo is an animated Penguin that has lotsa adventures with his animated show for kids. He is very famous in Korea that he even got his own attraction and store at Everland...
Up here is a location that has been used during some of the Running Man episodes. For us it was very exciting to see these locations because we are very big Running Man fans. Many spots has been used in this theme park as it's filming location as mentioned before...
During one of the missions of Running Man, this location where this big tree stands has been used.
As mentioned before, Pororo has his own attraction which is an 3D movie adventure (ride). The movie takes you on a 3D adventure with Pororo and his friends where the have to save the snowflake creatures from an evil Magical Rock Monster...
We took the Sky Cruise which is an cable car that takes you into the sky and brings you to the other side of the park. From there you can get a good view of Everland from above...
At the end of the Sky Cruise ride, you end up down at the European Adventure part of Everland. In this part of the park there are many things to find and do. There the have gotten an amazing flower garden next to the Holland Village. You can take a tour with a small train to go around the area...
The Flower Garden was decorated for Halloween. During the day it didn't looked spooky, but during the evening it looked really spookey...
The dutch village was also a nice place to check out. This part of the European Adventure was actually more of a foodcourt where you can eat dutch stuff. But it was more food of other European countries then it was of Holland.. But then again it was nice to see because we are from Holland XD
Next to the European Adventure area, you have the Magic Land area. There you have a lots of magical attraction and stores to hang out.
There stores in Everland has a lots of fun stuff.
You can even try on some of them stuff.

Trough out the whole park, there are many mechanical rides for kids to play on. There were even rides that Kurisu can't resist to try out as you can see here below. Go my Robot friend... GO!!! Fighting!!!
After goofin' off at Magic Land, we went to the K-Pop Hologram show @ the Global Fair where PSY is giving his concert. PSY is an Artist who's worldwide known for his "Gangnam Style" song and dance.
This Concert is giving by PSY's Hologram, and it really looks amazing and real. It really looks if PSY was really there on stage because his Hologram image looked very sharp in HD and it was maybe also in Ultra HD. With this concert he has sung his songs "Gangnam Style" and "Mother Father Gentleman".
Before the Hologram Concert began, the audience can take pictures of them self in photoboots in the concert room. There you can take pictures of yourself dressed up as PSY.
After his first song "Gangnam Style" ended, PSY made an announcement that he will select 3 people from the audience. Then he selected one of them to give them a special price. After waiting for it with excitement Kurisu has been selected as one of the 3 people, and eventually he was selected as the Winner to receive his special prize after the Concert. Kurisu won a free Photo Shoot with PSY and a button of PSY's Hologram concert. (^__^)d
After that PSY took another picture but this time together with Lilia and Kurisu as a memorable moment of our visit at Everland!!!
After the concert, it was time to have a break to get some snacks and power up for our next destination...
Our next destination was the Zoo-Topia area. As the name says it's the zoo part of Everland which has many animals to see...
Our first spot to explore was the "Go! Aferica" place @ Zoo-Topia. Here they had many animals on display to see and pet if you want. From spiders to birds to monkeys... XD
After enjoying all the animals we saw at "GO! Africa, we went to the Lost Valley for a bus ride...
This was an amazing place to check out because it was a kinda of a jungle tour with a bus. There you can see a lot of animals walking around, and some animals walk loose not being in a closed area. It was also fun because this area was also used as a Running Man Location.
After our visit to the Animal Kingdom, it was back to European Adventure to explore the Area and take some pictures. There they had a big musical hall where there was a Live show of the animation Madagascar. In that area you can take pictures with the cast of Madagascar as Lilia did here below...
There were even some more foto spots here in this part of the park. As you can seen most of these spots are decorated with a Halloween Theme...
Then we went back to Global Fair by using the Sky Cruise again, because it is a quick way to get to the entrance of the park. From there we checked some stores before we went back to our hotel in Seoul...
To end our day, Kurisu has made a little re-cap picture of all the faces he had during his stay in Everland...
With this we come to an end of our adventure at the Everland Resort in South Korea near Seoul. See you soon with our next blog...
