So crowded.  Didn't get to see the parade,  the zoo and many others. This place should be given 1 whole day to explore. We manage just to sit the 4D motion theatre after waiting for 30 mins

By the time,  just enough time to wait for the cable car to bring us down
 

See the sign,  "Dont Walk Walk"
 

Barbecue for dinner. Good
 

Korean way of eating.  Wrap the meat on the lettuce and follow by kimchi, prickle cucumbers and whatever you think taste good to you.  Must try again back home.
