The Wait...

During the Lunar New Year (설날) I visited my friend's family to have dinner with them, which was a great experience to have. The next day, my buddy and I went to visit Lotte World Tower. The tower has 123 floors and stands over 478m. Here are some photos that I took of the trip. You can find more specific information about this place in the link above.

Outside shot, then we wait in line...

Got our tickets, now, we wait in another line...

You know it is going to be a long wait when they have ceiling visuals specifically made to keep you calm while you wait.

So relaxing...

Guess what, another line. This is line 4 now.

These visuals are cool though because they replicate the traditional ceilings of Joseon era palaces.

At the Top at Last!!

Finally got to the top!!

Down below, you can see Lotte World. Imagine if Walmart had its own little Disney World. That is what it is.

The Glass Floor Observatory

Here is the highest glass-floored observatory in the world :) don't be nervous lol

This is a Christmas tree tower thing that lights up when you press various buttons. The buttons represent what you want for the world. Love- Red Happiness- Blue Hope- Green was the colors. I just kept pressing love. lol

A Napoleon Display??

I have no idea what was the deal with having Bonaparte's hat on display up on the top floor but it was interesting, and I got to wear a replica. So, whatever I guess.

I had to take one silly one with the hat 😂

Was this Worth it?

After waiting over an hour and a half (waiting in about six lines going up and down) and paying about the equivalent of 25$, I say that it was overall worth it. The view is beautiful, but the windows obstruct the lovely shots. There is an outside terrace but was closed because of wind. However, it is high up and is something you cannot experience elsewhere in Korea. So I do recommend this place if you visit Seoul. Also, you can get a discount on tickets if you have a Lotte membership, just saying.

I tend to write about life in Korea as a foreigner, food, photos from trips, and things teaching related. If that interest you and you like this post, please give me a vote and follow 👍
