If you know and recognize the evil schemes of Tyrone Rugen, Prince Humperdink's count from...

Like nearly every travel day for us, our trip to Lotte World with kids was mostly a disaster.
But despite our natural tendencies to make poor choices, go as cheap as possible, wake up late, and not plan in advance, we truly had an amazing day at Lotte World with Kids.
This is everything you need to know about the World's...
Every weekend since we have arrived here in South Korea there is a street fair held at Triple Street.

So with nothing else on the schedule, we decided today would be the day...
Everland Korea is the largest theme park in Korea, but we actually had no intention of coming here during our 3 month summer school field trip!
