Top Horse

We decided to visit this place called Top Horse behind our apartment building. We wanted to check it out and see what the prices were. As we arrived to the place, we realized it was the opening day. Once we enter the place we found about four people who knew English and they welcomed us. Our co-worker and friend Kyle was with us and they told us that we could try it for about 5 minutes. I went first; one of the workers showed me how to control the real life simulation horse. Then I began the ‘game’ and began to gallop, feeling like a real horse. The worker kept telling me to go faster until I was going full speed. It looked just like any other video game, but this one had a real life size animal where is rocking you and all your abs muscles are felt. It was great, it felt so exiting. Jennifer went next and she kept saying' I like this game! '

This place has ten horses and people could play against each other up to five at a time. Top Horses all over Korea can compete with each other, even all over the world. After we finished we ask for the price and saw 18만원for one month. He kept telling us that since it was the opening day, it was a very good price. We were thinking the amount would be 18,000 won and he showed us on the calculator the price for two. I was about to give him my card when I notice an extra zero and asked, “Price, it’s not 18 thousand won?”

Decidimos ir a visitar este lugar llamado “Top Horse” muy cercano a nuestro edificio donde vivimos. Queríamos saber los precios para jugar. Se mira como un arcade de carreras de caballos. Cuando llegamos al lugar notamos que era el día de apertura y nos dieron la bienvenida. Habían como cuatro personas que hablamos en Ingles mas o menos. Nos dijeron que podíamos tratar los caballos por unos cinco minutes. Después de aprender a como utilizar el aparato, uno de los trabajadores me sugería que le diera mas rienda a la cuerda y el caballo abansaba su velocidad hasta que me encontré a la máxima velocidad. Se movía todo el aparato, pero rápidamente me pude adaptar el cuerpo para no moverme tanto y poder estar seguro en el, como si fuero un toro mecánico. Después de que terminamos, preguntamos por los precios y miramos 18만원, creyendo que eran 18 mil won (como unos 18 dólares). El muchacho nos mostró el total en la calculadora para dos personas y casi cuando estaba por darle mi tarjeta note un extra zero (180 mil). Después nos explico que este lugar no como un juego si no que los caballos mecánicos son de alta calidad. Se puede competir entre si hasta cinco personas a la misma vez o competir contra otras personas en todo al rededor de Corea o el mundo.
