When it rains in Jeju Island...

If you noticed in the previous post, Nadira and I arrived at Jeju airport at the time when it was covered in fog and rain. Oh nooo...we still got half the day to enjoy.

So what to do when it rains in Jeju Island?!

No worries. Rain or no rain, sun or no sun, Jeju Island is the place you wanna spend your holiday at. This beautiful island has a lot to offer, ranging from beautiful beaches to magnificent museums. Tourists get to enjoy not only the adventurous outdoor activities but also be amazed at the various indoor activities such as  museums, art galleries, memorial and concert halls.

After checking into Tae Gong Gak guest house, we immediately looked for indoor activities that we can do to fill the half day left.Our guest house is located in the south part of the island known as Seogwipo-si, so we planned on going to museums which are located nearby. Two museums caught our interest! The first one is Teddy Bear Museum and the other one is Alive Museum. I must say that we did a good decision in choosing these two museums.They are simply awesome!!!


Teddy Bear Museum
Teddy bear lovers out there..you'll go crazy over this museum. It is full of teddy bears from all over the world ranging from the ones aged about hundred years till the latest one created. If I'm not mistaken, the Teddy Bear museum is divided into 2 main galleries.In these galleries, you'll get to see teddy bears from various countries with variety of themes.Such an adorable sight!

The history about teddy bear is also interesting. Teddy Bears have been loved and cherished since they were first introduced over 100 years ago. The name teddy comes from former United States President Theodore Roosevelt, whose nickname was "Teddy". Chomeyl je.. Other than the two galleries, you can also enjoy yourself at the extra exhibition, museum shop, café, restaurant and also the outdoor park.

Seriously kalau you guys suka teddy bears don't miss out on this opportunity! Yang x suka teddy bear pon bawak jerla keluarga, sedara mara, kawan-kawan ke sini..surely you'll enjoy yourself!

Alive Museum
It's the second 'trick art' museum in Jeju Island. This museum offers variety of art and illusions that will make your pictures turn out awesome.This is because of its optical illusion which use perspective to manipulate a person view of reality. This is a great museum for everyone!

Tips: Go to this museum on Sunday night or weekdays afternoon so that it won't be crowded. I was there on Sunday night and had the opportunity to take photos at my own pace and I didn't have to wait at all. The Museum has a big indoor space of 3,300m2, so be prepared to spend about at least 2 to 3 hours going around the museum. Posing posing pon dah berjam-jam kan.. :p

We arrived at the museum at about 8 pm. Kalau x hujan boleh enjoy the outdoor area which is a french-styled park.

Entry fee : 9000 won. Approx RM25

Alive Museum is an awesome place to enjoy yourself, pose and take fantastic pictures and see how great they turn out. There are a lot of sections in this museum : trick art, digital art, objet art, sculpture, and Provence art. Take your own sweet time to enjoy every section in this museum.You'll never regret it!!!

So that's all for this post
Stay tuned for the outdoor activities in Jeju Island!
