Lotte World is an amusement park in Korea. It has a huge indoor and outdoor park. They have both dry and wet rides. We went on the Bungee Drop at Lotte World and it was awesome! There was also a Gyro Drop but we were too scared to go on it LOL. Here are some videos from Lotte World.
Lotte World also has a place called "star avenue". It's a place where you can find cardboard cuts of famous actors and singers.
You can copy the links below to watch the ride videos.

Seoul life
Just wanted to show some pictures of our adventures so far..
This past weekend Yonsei University and Korea University held their YonKo Games event (kinda like Homecoming). Both universities compete in 5 sports (Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Rugby, and Soccer). Students from each university go to these events and cheer for their school teams. The crowd is huge and the cheering is very important. This year's "AKARAKA" was amazing. Although our school (Yonsei) did not win, we had a great time celebrating and cheering for the school with fellow korean classmates as well as other international students. This semester Yonsei University invited "SISTAR", a k-pop girl group, to perform an openair concert on campus.
