A world of miracle and Everland

What does come to your mind when you hear the word Samsung? Digital and Electric stuff? Cell phones? TV? Notebook? Right. But, Samsung is also the founder of the largest amusement park in South Korea, which is called Everland.

The park is located in Yeonin city and was built in 1976. Yeonin city is close to Seoul, about 50km from the centre of Seoul. It will take about 1–1,5hours to get there by bus. There are a few buses which go directly to Everland.




There are 2 parks in Everland: water park Caribbean Bay and amusement park Everland. They are close to each other, just on opposite sides. And you can buy the tickets in front of the entrance. And you can decide whether to go one to one of them, or to both of them.

So what about the ticket price? Adult ticket costs 54,000KRW or 54$. A youth ticket costs 46,000KRW or 46$. Tickets for kids cost 43,000KRW or 43$.

Also, besides a one-day pass, there are evening tickets, which are about 9 dollars cheaper than regular tickets. The entrance with evening tickets starts at 5PM.

Everland is a very big park, so some people can walk here a whole day, or maybe even 2 days, Therefore, there are 2 days' tickets.

And that is not all about tickets yet. Like any other park in Seoul, Everland also organizes events and promotions, so visitors can get tickets with discounts. Hence, it will be useful to check current events on the park’s website.

Every year more than 7 million people visit the park.




As soon as you enter the park you will see a Global Fair in front of you. On both sides of the alley, you can find many different stores and shops, cafes and restaurants. So people can do some shopping as well.

The park is divided into 5 zones: Global Fair, Zoopark Zoo-Topia, Europe Adventures, Magic World, and American adventures.




The zoo in Everland is not so huge, but still very nice. And a few months ago they started a new program ‘Safari’, so you can get a tour and be closer to the wild world, and animals. You can find lions, bears, penguins, sea lions, etc.




















In the Europe Adventures zone, all buildings and constructions are in European style. Here you can find many cafes with European cuisine. My favourite place here is American Adventure T-Express. I am not a big fan of it, so just looked at them and passed by. But the line there is super long, and usually, it takes about 2 hours to wait until your turn.



If you are brave enough you can take a ride on different attractions. But if you don’t like it, you can just walk around and enjoy different shows. For example, during the summer there is a rose festival. And this rose garden is super amazing.

Then we can walk to the Magic Land, and meet magic creations, and it seems like we are in another world. Ferris Wheel will show you an Everland city from a very high point. And a huge Everland will look like a small town.




In the American Adventures Zone, you can learn a little bit about American history. Here is a small version of American Adventure.


Maybe you want to ask what to do here till evening? In the evening starts the most interesting part. Every evening park changes, and starts an amazing parade and show, like one in Paris Disneyland.











So, if you have time, spend a day here.

Getting Closer to Korean Aviation

It was a while since I took you with me on my trips around Korea. I have lots of photos, notes, and emotions that I want to share with you. And today I want to show you one of the museums, that I visited a couple of weeks ago. It is a National Aviation Museum of Korea that opened its doors just in July 2020. National Aviation Museum of Korea The museum is located in Seoul, right near the Gimpo Airport. So, if you will be around the Gimpo Airport, and have free time, visit the museum. It is free of charge, except for different activities that you can try in the museum. But most of them are not so expensive, around $1-3. At the entrance to the museum, you will meet a cute plane robot. It has a name but I don’t really remember… The museum looks small from the outside, however, there are 3 floors full of different exhibitions, rest zones, etc. 1st Floor of the museum We started from the very 1st floor. It is the largest hall I think. It starts with a history of world aviation. Visitors can

TOPIK? What's this?

In the next section, you can see how points are distributed. You must have heard about the TOPIK exam. TOPIK is short for Test of Proficiency in Korean. And it is the most popular exam to determine the level of knowledge of the Korean language. Let's get to know this exam a little closer. The TOPIK certificate is asked for when entering a university in Korea when applying for a job when applying for a visa. Also, many universities in Korea can give you a grant in the form of a tuition discount depending on your TOPIK level.  History of TOPIK The very first TOPIK exam took place in 1997, and then only 2,274 people took it. And in 2021, a total of 330,016 people registered for the exam! Types of TOPIK Previously, TOPIK was divided into 2 types: B-TOPIK and S-TOPIK . What is the difference? S-TOPIK or Standard TOPIK is a regular TOPIK, i.e. for general purposes. A B-TOPIK or Business TOPIK for employment. S-TOPIK, in turn, was divided into elementary (1-2), intermediate (3-4) and adva

High school graduation exam in Korea or Korean version of SAT

Who doesn’t like to have fun? Of course, everyone likes to chill outside instead of studying or working. Especially, when it is a golden fall season and the weather is perfect to stay outside. But, unfortunately, some people can’t go out and take a rest. I am talking about high school students, who are going to graduate soon. Seokchon Lake, Seoul Every year in the mid of November Korean high school students have graduation exams or something like an SAT exam in the US, or a Unified State Exam (USE) in Russia. It is a national exam, which is very important. Because exam scores will decide which university students will go to. And that is very important, because as many of you probably know, there is a strong hierarchy in Korean society, and the rank of University plays a significant role as well. And everyone tries to get admission to the high-ranked University. I didn’t take the American version of SAT nor the Korean one. So, I can’t tell you about it in detail. But my brother passed U
