Seoul is 'Fun'tastic (Fun and Fantastic). One of many places that is "fun and fantastic" place for me is Lotte World in Seoul. Because it is a complex life town with a department store, luxurious hotel and the largest indoor   theme park . It is a city within a city where people can enjoy tourism,  leisure activities, shopping, cultural events and sports all in one place.

We commonly hear about Korean people say "fighting" or "hwaiting" ( 화이팅) . Actually, what's the meaning of "hwaiting"? "Fighting" or "hwaiting" means "cheer up" or "do your best". "Fighting" or "hwaiting" originated from boxing matches. Around 1960s - 1970s where the match boxing was famous. Referee would say "fight fight" in boxing matches in order to encourage to be better. Information from: When I watched Arirang TV channel.

SEOUL ZOO - SOUTH KOREA Pass Namtaeryeong, the first gateway to Seoul from the south, and you will be greeted by Seoul Grand Park, a landmark recreational site with people and nature in perfect harmony. Seoul Grand Park is internationally renowned for its scenic beauty and natural environment consisting of the Education, Natural Culture, and Amusement areas. During the period of the Great Han Empire, Japan turned time-honored Changgyeonggung, one of the royal palaces in Seoul, into a zoo, in 1909, in an attempt to undermine Korea’s national sovereignty. As part of its effort to restore national pride and preserve its cultural assets, the Korean government created Seoul Grand Park, which opened on May 1, 1984, and transferred the animals in Changgyeonggung to the park for the restoration of the palace. Today, Seoul Grand Park is one of the world’s top 10 zoos in size and scale. Seoul Zoo Map of Seoul Zoo TAMAN SAFARI INDONESIA - INDONESIA Taman ...
