Ricki in Korea: 6/28/09

So Saturday was my birthday. It was a long and hard week before my birthday and I was happy for the weekend. I went to Caribbean Bay a water park here in Korea. It was so much fun. We left from Beomgaye station near my house and the bus cost 8.00 round trip. We left kind of late because there were some people who were late. I thought for sure there would be a long line and alot of people when we got there. But when we got there we got our tickets in less than 5 minutes. Not only that but since Samsung is the company behind the park and I had a Samsung card my ticket was only 20 as opposed to the 55. I was very happy. My friends and I went to go get ready to swim. While Dan, Justin, Iris, and Kammy went to get on rides. Tina, Dani, and I went to the lazy river. There was alot of plashing and kicking from the kids in the water.. After an hour or so in the river. We got hungry and went in search of the Island food we were promised. We never found it. There was a restaurant called Bahamian Mama but it was Korean food. =( That's when we met up with everyone and we went to the Lazy River. Where this time around the inner tube didn't like me. I fell 3 times and got carried away!!! So I got out of the river at the next exit. It was getting late so everyone went to the wave pool. Tina and I stayed behind. She wanted a pizza roll, it was so gross. I think she threw it out.

I ended up going to the wave pool for a little bit. So Tina stayed behind on shore. I took some pictures and video of the wave pool. While I was there I made a friend. She was an adorable little Korean girl. I was standing there when she came up and was like "That was a close one." I looked over to see who she was talking to and she was looking up at me. Then as wave after wave came she got closer then she was holding my hand and jumping in the waves with me. It was cute the Koreans coming out of the water thought so too and smiled at us. After getting out of the wave pool. Tina and I wondered around the interior taking pictures. We got dressed before anyone else and were waiting. There was a close call and the bus was almost missed. But we got there in time. At night I went out with my friends to eat dinner and we got ice cream. While at Coldstone I convinced the guys to let me behind the counter to take a picture with them. We also had silly picture time. Then we went to a bar and club I hadn't been to in forever. At the bar the bartender who we are friends with had a cake and candles for me and they played Happy Birthday. I had a really good time for my birthday and I'm glad my friends were able to share it with me.
