And this is my last blog update from Korea. I hope you have enjoyed the 3 years of posts I have put up here. It has been fun to watch the view counts here and on YouTube as people experienced with me the great times I have had here in South Korea. I hope everyone has a fantastic time whatever you are doing. I will post a couple more things here later next month. I am also planning to continue a similar blog all about New Zealand so stay tuned for some news about that. ^^
Until then have a great week and see you soon!!! ^^

Korean Basketball League KBL

With winter here its a good idea to stay indoors or find something to do inside and one of those things is watching a basketball game.

The temperature in Seoul has now plummeted to -12 as I write this and I expect it will fall even lower in the coming weeks so heading outside is almost out of the question. I remember travelling around Seoul in past years during the winter and it was always an uncomfortable experience no matter how many layers of clothes or protective garments I was wearing...



So one fun activity you can do is go and watch a basketball game at your local "gym" or basketball stadium. In Seoul you can go to the Sports Complex Station on the green line and follow the signs to the Gym where you can join in the chanting and cheering. The weekend games are usually played on a Saturday or Sunday at 2pm and 7pm so you may get a couple of chances to watch a game. The seats are usually around 8,000 won and you can take your snacks and things there to enjoy during the game.

I went and saw the Samsung Thunder v Inchon (ETL Elephants?). There was a lot of excitement during the game and a half time singing show as well as some free gifts if you are sitting in the Samsung supporters area. There were also some t-shirts catapulted into the crowd by the cheerleaders which was interesting to watch. ^^

Here are some information links and photo's:

Well that's all for this week. I am trying to stay warm here as best I can. The first heavy snow of the year fell last week so perhaps there will be a white Christmas here. Lets see what I can do for next week... maybe I will show you some sights of winter?... ^^ Anyway until than have a good and warm week!^^

Coex Aquarium, Education New Zealand

So this week I saw something interesting on the subway... www.nzeducated.com/uhak

A New Zealand Education expo that was held at the Intercontinental Hotel near Coex in Samseong Station Line 2.

Lots of Universities, and schools from New Zealand were there to promote education in New Zealand and I ran into Sun one of my teachers from NZIE that I trained with before coming to Korea so that was a surprise!

So if you are interested in studying in New Zealand check out the link above.

Straight after that me and my friend went to the COEX Aquarium which was right next door. The cost was 17,500 Won per adult so a little expensive I thought. So it was quite similar to the building 63 aquarium but it did have a hammer head shark. I of course took some pictures so here are some and at the end more in a slide show :)

I also took a video of the finger fish eating fingers....

And if you were interested take a walk with me around COEX and see SOME of the mall... the place is huge! So I could only show you a small portion so here it is:

So I get to have a small holiday this week beginning Friday so I am sure to have some exciting adventures to share with you next week!

Until then have a great week! :)

Ocean World !!

So its still pretty hot or hot enough to go to a water park anyway so Vivaldi Park Ocean World was the place to be. If you have been on the subway recently (in Seoul anyway) you would have seen the different swim wear coloured girls advertising the different rides there. It was a pretty quiet mid morning but there were still long lines and we went on the big blue ride (the name escapes me right now :/ ).

The things that impressed me were:

* the convenience of having a wrist bracelet loaded with money so you didn't have to carry cash just scan the bracelet and get your hot dog!

* If you forgot or didn't have any swim wear you could purchase shorts, rash vests, hats, sunglasses, bikini...... there at a couple of stores, one at the gate entrance and one inside just a little further past the mens changing rooms.

* Little lockers before many of the rides where you could store a camera or cell phone / hand phone while you went on the ride.

* The safety of the rides - no huge out of control designs which end up flipping you on your head like other water parks.

There is also an inside section a lot of areas for kids, a sauna and Jacuzzi area, lots of places to eat including Burger King (inside) and generally enough to keep you fun filled and happy for a good day!

So I took some photos and video of the rides on my small camera which I will share with you. But before I do here is the official link:

This is the resort which I guess is more popular in the winter when the ski fields open up next to Ocean World.

So there you have it! Well worth the trip but get there early to ride the popular rides as lines can be long!

Until next week have a great time! :)

Oh P.S. last week I could not find the link to the car cafe but my friend gave me it today :) so here it is. I also updated last weeks post with this info as well:
