 From subway to mall to... giant skating rink? This place is huge. We stopped for a few moments and watched the skaters frolicing below. |
 If one so chooses, you can take a pseudo balloon ride all around the complex. |
 A marching band performs brassy christmas tunes on the ice. I am impressed by their music as well as their ability to stand upright on a very slippery surface. |
 My first glimpse of Lotte World after climbing the escalator. |
 Tis the season. The whole place was Christmased up the wazzoo! I remember thinking to myself "It's not even Thanksgiving yet" before remembering where I was. |
 We encounter a Christmas parade. These fine chaps are dressed like British noblemen. Yeah, I was a bit confused myself! |
 After enjoying a few rides on the inside, we venture out into the cold to try out the famous "Atlantis!" ride. Here's a shot from below. |
 A handy monorail transports people from one part of Lotte World to the other. |
 A fearsome creature guards the way into Atlantis! |
 Two out of every five girls at Lotte World are wearing ears of some sort. This young lady is wearing bunny ears. |
 We brave the Lotte World folk museum... and encounter a pack of wild cavemen! |
 We befriend the natives by helping them gather leaves. |
 We also help them hunt. |
 Ancient Korean clothes on display at the folk museum. |
 An ancient Korean school. I wonder if they learned english there. |
 A little girl climbs the fake rocks alongside a fountain. |
 A panoramic shot of Lotte World. I managed to snag a bit of the monorail zooming past. |
 The Lotte World marching band entertains us by dressing up like Germans. |
 On line for a roller coaster. See if you can spot the girl with the bunny ears! |
 Going down? A short video clip from Lotte World's glass elevator. |
 Christmas Parade ahoy! Some girls dressed in Santa costumes caper past. |
 The only word I can think of to describe these girls are "reindeer jesters". They've got Jester costumes on, and
they're wearing antlers... so yeah. Reindeer Jesters. |
