When I was a kid, we had a small amusement park (if it could be called so) in our city, and it was possible to walk around whole park in less than an hour. And when I saw Disney land on TV, I thought it seemed like a magic to me. After years, when I became adult and came to South Korea, everything looked so huge and unusual. I feeled like I am in another world or planet. At that time I came to Korea for Korean language courses. Our programme included a tour to the Lotte World — Seoul largest amusement park . The park owner is one of the largest companies in Korea Lotte. You may know about that company by newly built tower — Lotte tower.

It is a first day of 2020. And I will start this day with a list of reasons, why you should visit Seoul. Flower Festival 2012 I already told about Korea a lot, and introduced to you many beautiful places. And today we will talk about 5 main reasons why you should visit Seoul. Reason #1 Travel abroad is always related to Visa . Many countries of the world don’t allow foreigners to enter their country without special permission, i.e. without Visa. Fortunately, South Korea has an agreement with many countries, so citizens of these countries don’t need to pay extra money to get a visa. For example, Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, US, Colombia etc. Of course, it is for a short-term trip, and only for travel. If you want to work or study in Korea, or stay here for a long time, so you need to get a visa first. Reason #2 Special events and promotions for foreigners are always looks temptative. Especially, for the last few years, Korean government pay a special at...

There are 2 parks in Everland: water park Carribean Bay and amusement park Everland. They close to each other, just in opposite sides. And you can buy the tickets in front of the entrance.
