WaterPark!

Today for our adventure I skipped my Korean class and heather and I went to a waterpark!

Now, on the web it was called Tigerworld but when we got there nothing called it that. Maybe the name changed? All the rules were still the same though, and it was in the same place. It's actually very close to were I live too! It was called PlayC or Waterplay... both names were all over.


The entrance is on the main floor of an event center. I forget the name of what it was called. But it was at Location: Gyeonggi-do Bucheon-si Wonmi-gu Sang-dong 572-1          


There are multiple entrances, but just follow the signs pointing towards WaterDolci. Then you should see the main desk. The first thing you should do is to NOT line up. Actually, since Korean's are so pushy and can't form a basic line to save their lives, let alone to be show common courtesy and let the person who go there first go first, you have to get a ticket. 
Seriously Korea, why can't you form a line? Why do you have to push everyone, why do you always think you get to go first? I've seen Korean's fight over who's first, and they weren't even the first ones there! I'm not saying no one else has this problem, but I never really noticed an issue back in Minnesota. We can form lines. LA sometimes there were problems, but still, lines happened. It's like instinct while waiting to form a nice line.  ok ok, seriously, rant end.

Quest: find the ticket machine 

Quest complete.
Quest:  get your ticket by pushing the button on it, then purchase your ticket from the ticket selling person.

                                 quest item: ticket to buy your tickets to enter the waterpark.

Each sales person has a little red number box, go to the one with your number when it pops up.
Quest complete!
Quest: enter the waterpark and have fun!

First thing you do with your new ticket is to exchange it for wristbands.

These wristbands allow you access to your lockers. Your locker number is the number on the wristband. Also, you can make purchases in the park with these, and then when you leave the park and hand over the wristband, you pay for all your purchases at that time.

Here is a map of the facilities



So first you enter through a gift shop. At the gift shop you can purchase or rent swimsuits. Then, you split off into the male and female locker rooms/showers. The women's side was nicely laid out, easy to find your locker. Everyone just walked around naked, so if you go you should be comfortable with nudity. There wasn't an area to change without people seeing you naked. Also, if you are foreign people stare at you all the time anyway, and they will still stare at you as you change. Especially the kids, who for some reason think you'll look different. 

So you get changed, then you go downstairs to a shower area where there are more naked people. You get wet before you enter the pool area, and then you can shower again when you leave. There are also showers in the pool area itself to get yourself wet in. There are many places to eat as well. 

We went through the map like each number was a quest achievement. The spa rooms were very nice, the dr.fish pool was relaxing. The fish were big though, you could really feel em nibbling on you! The lazy river was relaxing, but! Another difference is they don't provide intertubes. You can rent them, or rent life jackets. They do have a station where you can blow up the intertubes though with compressed air, so you don't have to use all your lung power  up. They had different scented baths, like grape bath, pineapple, rose, lavender, and watermelon. There was a pool where you could drink and eat while siting at a table in the water. there were baths specifically to soak your feet. There is an aromatherapy bath too.

There wasn't an adult only area though, simply put, kids were EVERYWHERE. So it was a good day, but super busy in there with all the kids, and not actually as relaxing as it could have ben. Because relaxing in a warm scented tub is nice, but when a kids is kicking water into your face while trying to swim on an intertube, it kinda ruins the mood a little bit.

alright, here is a video of my response after it all, and talk to you guys again later. Hopefully I don't let the blogs all pile up again like this time where I post a couple weeks worth in one sitting.
