My Summer Vacation!

Korea was real fun, but I got sick for a few days so I couldn't go anywhere but my grandma's house. My other grandma and grandpa were dying to see me. That was a big waste of days, for the airplane fee, 15 hours of sickness on the plane. But after a little while I got better-but my brother got sick this time! So we spent more days taking care of my little brother, and then we both felt fine. We went to a HUGE and TALL building called the Namsan Tower. Since it was so tall, we had to take a cable car all the way up there! Wow! But it was worth it. There was a Korean Parade with people dressed up in old-fashioned Korean soldiers, and some were pounding drums, some were holding real spears, and one was the king. We saw that and then went further along. We saw what amazed each one of us-A Teddy Bear Museum! Inside, there were teddy bears moving, working, dressed up in Kings, Queens, Princes, Princesses, and servants. They were all working and doing stuff like cooking, cutting branches, and other stuff like that. There was this cute little bear that was in every scene, and he was always doing mischievous stuff, like climbing walls! There were some bears that were dancing, shopping, and more. There were some HUGE bears the size of me, all dressed up. The Namsan Tower was awesome, and so was the Dong-Dae-Mune. That's a shopping place! Shopping for clothes, shoes, purses, and more!!!! I got some really cute stuff from there. Another place we went to was................THE PHILIPPINES!!!! The real Philippines! It was a 4-hour ride on the airplane. Luckily, I didn't get sick. We went with my mom's side of the family, except for my other uncle and my grandma, because my other uncle was working and my grandma's waist hurt. Cebu, was where we went to, where there was a whole bunch of poor people climbing on to buses, trying to sell their products. Guess what I did? We went snorkeling, fishing, and we went on a banana boat, where there is a rubber raft with no seat, that is attached to a string that is attached to another boat that a man is driving. The waves that splatter onto you make you hands slippery, so they will slip off of the handle and fall into the ocean in the middle of nowhere. That was fun for my mom, my brother, and my uncle, but my aunt and I were screaming our heads off! The waves made the raft go up really high, so out butts rose off of the raft. Another thing we did at the Philippines were Para Sailing. I bet you don't know what that is. A boat attaches a thin string to a Parachute, and the parachute is connected to a rope that you have to hold onto for dear life. It's not exactly a seat. So if you position the wrong way, you fall off into the deep, dark, ocean. You go up really high, 75 meters!!!! People seem REALLY tiny, and boats seem really small. Wow! The hotel was awesome, we ate with baby lizards, and I was sad to leave. When we were back in Korea, nearly the last day of being there, I went to EverLand, an amusement park! It is HUGE, and I rode all these scary rides!!!! It was totally awesome and I ate a whole huge bag of cotton candy by myself. Yum! I hope you like my paragraph about visiting Korea, and I took a lot of time typing this. So, next time YOU visit somewhere and have lots of fun, email me at juliekang99@gmail.com. Thanks!!!!!
