CNY @ Lotte World (Part 1)

It's CNY again, however it doesn't seem to be so here in Korea as there's no CNY decorations around wherever we go, tho' the Koreans do celebrate the Lunar New Year too. In Singapore, many would go overseas during this long holidays period. So we decided to bring the kids to Lotte World in Seoul, haha... and we don't have to pay for the air tickets.

We stayed at the Lotte Hotel World which is located just next to Lotte World, so it is very convenient and we got to see the outdoor theme park everytime.

Unfortunately, Daddy caught a chill on the day that we arrived. So we had been staying in the hotel room for 2 days and nights (had initially planned to go Lotte World on the 2nd day). It wasn't a bad idea actually cos' the tastefully-furnished hotel room and toilet were so warm and cosy. While Daddy was resting in bed, the kids got to play in the bathtub and Mummy got to enjoy some relaxing spa session of soaking in the bathtub (this would have been impossible in the bathtub in our house here cos' the toilet is too cold). We joined the 2 twin beds together and so you can imagine what a big bed we have. The cosy beds and comforters just made one wants to snuggle in bed, haha... My darlings also have a lot of fun jumping and bouncing on the bed. Seeing my 2 darlings playing together happily, I am glad to have 2 kids whereby they can keep each other company.

We finally went to Lotte World on the 3rd day and it's great that Daddy was getting better too. Daddy and Mummy had actually been to Lotte World in 1998 and amazingly everything is still exactly like before. Then we had tried the various exciting rides such as the Gyrodrop, Bumper Car etc.

Now with 2 young toddlers, bet you can guess that the rides that we took now were totally different from what we had 10 years ago. One of which is the Carousel rides which my darlings enjoy (guess they remembered the carousel rides they had while at the Daejeon Zoo few months ago).

But it was the family car kiddy ride which my Cutie loves most cos' she got the chance to be the "driver", bringing the family for a spin. Thus we ended up going for a few rounds of the ride. When we were back home late in the night (after 3 hours of travelling home, hee... of course driven by Daddy), we talked about her "driving" experience and she dozed off after a while, smiling.

Now they know who are Lorry and Lotty (the Mascots of Lotte World) after watching the parade and show. Will blog more about Lotte World in my other blog.

Tho' our tour itinerary was not going as to what we had planned and we were also unable to join in the various exciting rides, this has thus been the most enjoyable and relaxing tour that Mummy ever had. It's great to have our 2 darlings with us (tho' not with the logistics that comes along with, especially in this weather).

This is the 2nd CNY that we have as a family of four and bet it will be more enjoyable next year with both of them still in the toddlers stage but at a more independence stage then.

Will share more pics and videos soon.
