Korea Trip Part 2 : Lotte World - Star Avenue - Dongdaemun - Myeongdong

My plan for the first day in Korea is to visit the biggest (also known as the best) theme park in Korea, Everland. Unfortunately, it still rains, so the first destination has been changed to Lotte World, consisting of the world's largest indoor theme park and an outdoor amusement park.

For me, I love the exciting parts of both indoor and outdoor parks, but its cute part is nothing compared to Disneyland. If you ask me what you shouldn't miss, I would recommend Atlantic Adventure for outdoor ride and French Revolution for indoor ride.
If you are at Lotte World, do not forget to visit Star Avenue on F1floor. Actually, many of you can miss all the rides in Lotte World, but not Star Avenue where a number of actual-sized images of Korean actors, actresses, and artists are everywhere. There are also stars' items for you to take a look and purchase. Moreover, you can send personal messages to your loved one(s) at Star Center zone.

Now, it is time to go shopping!

At Dongdaemun, there are several shopping malls that you should not miss - Dosan Tower, Migliore, and Hello apM. In these area, you can also find all cosmetic shops, such as Etude House, Skin Food, It's Skin, and many more. In addition, there are department stores that sell specific items, such as Dongdaemun Shoes market and Stationary Market.   
Myeongdong is where Korean teenagers are. If you want to buy what Korean young people are wearing, this is the place. While Dongdaemun is more like Pratunam Platinum (in Thailand), Myeongdong is Siam Square. Besides brand name shops, there are a number of local stores. But what interests me most is all the food along the street. They are all worth trying.
At Migliore Myeongdong, I find this >>>
I don't know how each button works, so I try! If you have never used this kind of restroom before, you might want to do the same. But make sure that nobody else is around because you are likely to make unexpected voices/noises when you first try it. And whatever happens, sit still. If you don't, you will probably get wet. This is a warning! Don't let me say "I told you so!"

When I go abroad, I don't really care how people look at me or think about me. I will do whatever I want to, especially what I can't do in Thailand (actually, for me, there are not many things). Anyway, this is because nobody knows me and I will never meet them again. However, after going shopping in Korea today, I have realized that I meet Thai people in every corner!

Korean lesson for going shopping :
"How much is this?" ... "Ol ma yay yo"
"Please give me a discout." ... "Ka ka ju say yo"
