You can see Rudi at play on the 19th at Everland, which is about 31 miles (50 km) south of Seoul.


The Fifth Most Popular Theme Park in The World

South Korea's first theme park opened in 1976 as Yongin Farmland.

Less than ten years ago it was bought by a division of Samsung and transformed into the Everland theme park.

It is now the fifth most popular theme park in the world, beating out Epcot, Disney MGM and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Everland sprawls across 3,700 acres.

It consists of three theme parks: Festival World, Caribbean Bay and the Speedway.

Festival World has 40 theme attractions as well as a zoo and seasonal festivals.

Caribbean Bay has both indoor and outdoor water facilities.

Speedway offers racing courses.

Parents will also appreciate the Glen Ross Golf Course.

The mix of Korean, Chinese and American cuisine is said to be superb.

Tickets are 26,000 won ($19) for ages 13 and up and 18,000 won ($13) for children under 13.

For more information, go to:

www.everland.com

The site is available in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese.

Inspire & Be Inspired.

Here's to healthy, adventuresome, soulful, "a monkey vs. a birdie at 19" living!
