Lotte World and Myeongdong

Yesterday U-rim and I both had the day off, so we went to Lotte World together. Lotte World is an indoor / outdoor amusement park in the middle of Seoul. I'd been there once before, and it had been alright. This time on the other hand...
Let's begin by saying, I'm not a big fan of amusement parks to begin with. If I want to have fun with feeling like I'm going to puke, I'll buy some soju. Anyhow to compound this fun, it's currently vacation in Korea (for like the entire country), so the majority of the day was spent standing in lines. We were there for between 3 and 4 hours and went on a grand total of 2 rides...both were the kind of rides that in America there would be no line for because the park would have more rides, and better rides (an hour and a half to ride the fuckin' pirate ship? Nigga please!)
Anyhow I was further pissed off by the fact that we were wasting the one day we both have off standing in lines to go on some shitty carnival rides. U-rim works entirely too much (in one week she works 6 hours more than I work in an entire month), so it's extremely rare to both have the same day off and spend time doing things other than riding a subway and eating dinner together...so I felt as if I was wasting a once in a lifetime opportunity waiting to go on the fuggin' gyro-drop or whatever peice of crap we waited 2 hours to ride.
The day was not totally lost. First off right before we decided to leave there was a parade of ass shakin' latin ladies at Lotte World. To see the reaction of Koreans to the out of control thong wearing ass shaking of these Brazilian ladies was priceless.
Following the parade, U-rim and I headed to Myeong-dong for some shopping and dinner. I bought a pair of pants and a pair of black converse sneakers (low top of course). I also recieved a 3,000원 ($2.50) plastic bracelet with little skulls on it. Totally awesome! I won't really get into the shopping spree U-rim went on (she basically has a new wardrobe now...ㅋㅋㅋ I joke). We had some 삼겹살 for dinner, did some more shopping, and then returned home. I attempted to use a lemon I had with a cafri beer in an attempt to rock a quasi Corona type drink. Results were not too shabby.


Here's a picture of some rediculous Tarzan show U-rim and I saw at Lotte World. The only thing I could think about during the show was what kind of visa is required to do this type of job.


So U-rim and I are enjoying an afternoon at Lotte World when all of a sudden a parade of scantily clad ladies from Brazil breaks out...all hell broke loose due to the out of control shaking asses that were present.


It's Lotty. He is like the Mickey Mouse of Lotte World. He is like the head of the pantheon of costumed characters from Lotte World, each of which represent a different country. My personal favorite of these costumed characters would be "Big Head" representing America (kind of says something on their opinion of America huh?)


So today I went to Lotte World with my honey. While we were there I witnessed a parade of sexy Brazilian ladies shakin' their asses. Needless to say this is what I looked like after seeing such copious amount gyrating Latina ass...


A dinosaur and me.


So we are shopping in Myeongdong and come to a store that in their display window has a female mannequin peeing while standing up...
Can you find U-rim?
