Liger! Boom!


The last few weeks have seen a few changes, with more new teachers at the school, and some more changes to our timetables, but before all that, I went back to Everland!

Everland is every Korean kid's favourite place in the world, full of rides, shows, animals, and games, but the reason I wanted to go there was because they have a liger. Not a lion, not a tiger, a LIGER!!! I was extremely excited to see one of these rare hybrid animals.


So the liger is the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger, and is bigger than both, making it the largest of all cat species. There is also such a thing as a tion, which is the offspring of a male tiger with a female lion, but this is smaller. Ligers use to occur naturally in the wild a long time ago, when the natural habitats of lions and tigers overlapped, but nowadays they only exist in captivity. And they are awesome!

However, it is important to obey the safety regulations in Everland.
1 - No beer
2 - No pregnant people
3 - No old people
4 - Don't hold the stethoscope directly onto the heart
5 - No sexy dancing



I also went to see a show, which was billed as being more realistic than real. Now how is that possible?




I can confirm that it was not more realistic than reality.

More realistic was the rugby, I went to see an Asian 5 Nations match between Korea and Japan. Japan are unbeaten in 7 years of Asian 5 Nations, and they thoroughly thrashed Korea. But it was a good fun, and in the second half I got to sit next to Japan coach, and former Australia coach, and World Cup winning 'consultant' with South Africa, Eddie Jones! The Korean team were big guys, if not the best with ball in hand.






Finally, the Adventures of Tyrion the Turtle

This week, Tyrion got into a fight with a penguin. I only heard his side of things, but apparently, the penguin was a jackass . . .
