When we actually arrived at the area, the first thing that caught my eye wasn't a sea lion, but some white bird. It was standing on the clear glass railing as if it were a tourist, watching the sea lions right alongside us. It was fascinating how it didn't shy away from people at all.Sea lions were scattered all over the water and the rocks. I couldn't tell if they were playing or fighting, but they were yelling at each other intensely. They were having a very lively and chaotic afternoon, occasionally diving into the water together.Seeing one guy perched at the edge of a rock, head thrown back and crying at the top of its lungs, I immediately understood why it was so loud. With them howling like that, of course you can hear it from far away.After finishing up with the animals and walking down the path, a parade started up with upbeat music. Since it was the Christmas and New Year season, the parade featured a Santa Claus and elves theme, giving off a strong holiday vibe.I stopped for a bit to watch the elves dancing merrily. SeaWorld feels like an inverted version of Everland (a major Korean theme park)—the aquarium is the main attraction, with roller coasters and parades acting as the side acts.I'm terrible with rides, so just looking at them made my stomach drop; there was no way I was getting on one. Seeing all the strollers parked along the street, it was clear there were a ton of families traveling with kids. I highly recommend visiting here if you're a family with children. It's set up to be incredibly convenient for traveling with kids.The next place we moved to was the manatee area, which you don't get to see easily, but a walrus that appeared right before it completely stole my attention. It came right up to the glass, making goofy faces and striking poses as if it were people-watching.The way it swam upside down in the water felt like a comedian constantly pacing around trying to get a laugh. On the other hand, the manatees were fascinating but swimming around very quietly and leisurely, so the contrasting charm of the two animals really stuck in my memory.I also got to see a huge, pure white creature quietly passing through the water. It's a lot of fun watching unfamiliar animals swim past the glass.Finally, we moved on to the penguin area. I usually love penguins, so I thought it would be fun, but it was more chaotic than I expected, and the penguin show didn't really have anything special to it.
