Seoul Grand Park Zoo

Last weekend I actually did something interesting... at least on Saturday.
We went to Seoul Grand Park, especially to the Zoo. It is located in the southern part of Seoul and the park is really a Grand one. The zoo, as well, was really really big. It was really cheap to get into as well. Only 3000KRW! We couldn't go around the whole zoo because it was a Saturday meaning there were a lot of people! I could walk and be at the zoo all day but with that many people at the same time, I had my limits. Being in Seoul made me realize how much I did not like being squished in between people.

my roommate took the picture! ^^

It was the 6 of us going to the Zoo this time. So we made our priorities on which animals we wanted to see and went there first. The zoo was humungous and was smartly divided. All similar species were together, or the animals that live together in real life were bunched together. Each section was themed. It was really cool! We went to see the Ape Jungle, Savanna, the water animals, Bear Jungle, and a various others on the way. We also went to see the Baby animal clinic. It was absolutely adorable! Especially the tiger. It was still a baby and yet it was almost as tall as me. Yes. The animal that we stayed at the longest was the seals. Why? They were so fascinating and were absolutely hilarious!
There was one big one that started singing and another one that was so diva-ish, if that's the right terms and the rest were being playful. We really could've been there all day. It was absolutely entertaining!

Seoul Grand park also had an amusement park, Rose Garden, Children's Zoo and many other things. It was very much a place where you take your kids out for a picnic or for them to do something. What I found awesome was at the front of relatively main attraction, whether the zoo, or the amusement park or something else, there were people offering name tags to families. Mainly they would write the child's name and the parent's cellphone number on it. So in case they loose their kid, the name tag is there.
From the subway station to the main attractions' locations is about a 15 -20 minute walk. You can either take a car-train thingy up the mountain or you can take a gondola thing? I've been in Korea for too long when I start to forget my English vocabulary. We decided to take it down as a present to ourselves after walking for the whole day.
Afterwards we decided to hang around Coex because it was nearby before heading to Gangnam for dinner and going back at night. It was a really long day but the weather was very sunny, a little too hot for my preference though.
On Sunday though, I didn't feel well and stayed in bed for most of the day. However I felt slightly better when I went out for dinner with my friends. It was really nice that my roommate and her friend decided to pay for my dinner that day. I am so thankful! I need to save up money to repay them. >0<
This week? I don't really have much planned. So it'll be another week without nothing.
Probably mostly planning my courses for next year when I get back to Canada and do some technical stuff that I've been putting off because I was busy. The problem is the weather is making me constantly sleepy and lazy these days. It's that time of the year again! It really doesn't help when we don't have remotes to our air condition yet! I wouldn't be complaining if they at least gave us a fan or something. We live on the 7th floor with the sun shining right down on us. The air in our room gets really stuffy sometimes. PLEASE GIVE US OUR A/C REMOTES PLEASE. So we've resulted in opening our room door for most of the day... at least until we have to sleep or leave our room.
I really wonder what this week will turn out like.
