The weekend!

Friday was a fun final day of teaching for this week. We didn't do a Halloween party at school but I did buy a bunch of candy to give to the kids since they were expecting it. I gave out so much candy last night...I had kids from all different classes coming to me for candy if they saw someone else had some. It was fun. :D

Today was really a lot of fun, as well. I met Youngsun(Suzanna) and Young-ah(Amy) at Osan Station to head to Suwon. We arrived in Suwon around 10, where we met Jin, his younger brother Young-gwon, and Dahea(Elizabeth). Together, we rode the bus to Everland. This is the second time this year that I've been there and the fourth amusement park. lol

This time, though, we went to the water park section of Everland, Caribbean Bay. The indoor part is still open and they keep it heated. We had such a blast. Together, we swam in the wave pool, rode the indoor tube and body slides and floated down the lazy river. The river did have an outside section that we went through and it was absolutely freezing. :P I was glad to get back to the indoor section.

We also spent some time relaxing in a couple spas. One was a lemon spa(supposed to be good for digestion) and another was a strawberry spa(with actual strawberry juice stuff in it) and it was supposed to be good for a number of things. Those were outside so it was fun sitting in the hot water out in cold weather. The strawberry spa was 114 degrees, I think. It was almost unbearable, at first.

We left around 4:00 and decided to pay an extra $12 to allow us to get into Everland. We didn't have much time so Jin, Young-gwon, Youngsun and I went straight to the T-Express rollercoaster(the most famous coaster at Everland) and Dahea and Youngah went to ride the Viking. After waiting for over an hour, we finally got to ride and it was as thrilling as I remember it. We took a little bit of time to walk through the zoo as we headed to leave and got on the bus around 6:30 to head back to Suwon.

By the time we finally arrived back in Osan, it was about 8:30. We stopped in at a vendor right outside the station and ate some Korean fried snacks and Deok-bok-gi before I said goodbye to everyone and they got on a bus for home. It'll be nice to see everyone again at church tomorrow. :)

Here are a few pictures from today:
