DAY 2 PART 4 - TEDDY BEAR MUSEUM

We decide to check out the Teddy Bear Museum first before the N Seoul Tower. The museum has 2 exhibition hall..hall 1 and hall 2. WARNING!! its gonna be teddy and teddy and teddy all the way.

So this is the first thing we saw there..seriously haha. PSY teddy bear human size figure. On the left is the Gangnam Style figure, the right is the Gentlemen figure. I feel like kicking his balls hahaha.

Right beside the hall 1 entrance...so we gave our tix to the staff waiting at the hall 1 entrance and he scan the barcode for us.

The first thing we see upon entering hall 1. The exhibition in this museum uses small and big size teddy bear to depict history and life of South Korea from the past and present, and from traditional to modern. And when you walk around the exhibition you'll notice sensor around knee height placed near the exhibitions. When its touched, the exhibition will start to simulate a certain situation with songs and sound effect playing,oh and the teddy bear will also move. 

So hall 1 was done...we actually juz breeze thru the exhibition.

Before entering hall 2 we went pass this PSY figure again but wait a minute..the gangnam style ones is gone!! So hall 2 doesn't have anybody on the entrance so we had to scan our tix ourselves and enter. Hmm i think entry to hall 2 is self service.

A christmas setting...this one looks cozy and nice.

 Gwang Su!!

Sparta!!

I like this one..a zoo setting. 

I think this one depict a K Drama..

Sadistic looking bear..

At the end of hall 1 is the Teddy Bear Museum gift shop, Mabe decided to get a souvenir for herself to remember the place by since we were like thousand of miles away from SG.

The first thing she got was this cute lil teddy...ohh and i actually chose this one, we name him Brownie hehe.

The second was this Teddy Bear Museum wallet.

So thats all from Teddy Bear Museum...took alot alot of pics actually but this few should be enough i guess. My conclusions of this museum..ALOT of Teddy Bear..some are cute and i find it creative using them to depict history and all. Can see that a lot of hard work are put into them from the costume to the effects and settings and all. But a one time visit is enough. A piece of advise though: well this IS a  museum..a place to read and learn and understand history and culture so if you are not the museum type of person,especially if you are not into teddy bear...this is definitely not for you.

So Teddy Bear Museum..checked..up next,N Seoul Tower.

TO BE CONTINUED....

DAY 2 PART 3 - NAMSAN PARK

Namsan Park finally...

The nice view from the top..taken from a fortress looking platform.

Namsan Park Fortress View

Some kind of bird we saw over there..looks like peacock.

Looks familiar...this gazebo was featured in one of the runningman episode. Feel like doing a mission haha.

Beautiful red colored leaf trees.

There it is..N Seoul Tower,straight ahead.

Very hard to take a full size photo of the tower considering its tall height.

We found the area where ppl especially couples leave their marks on the a padlock and lock it to these tree looking structure. Look like christmas trees. Soo many kind of padlock can be found here..most like rusty already.

A glass panel overlooking the other side of the mountain.

Ahh..the view is beautiful, i wish i live here.

So we went up these stairs that leads up to a viewing platform and more of these locks can be found on its railings.

I like this corner of the platform...a very nice view. And when the wind blows,its very cooling..jjang. You can even find neoprints paste on the railings...even the dustbins,benches and lamps is not spared.

 

Namsan Platform View 2

We forgotten to bring our own locks,so we found an empty unwritten lock and took oppurtunity of it and leave our marks haha. Lucky i have my marker with me.

Mabe found this sg couple..sweetness.

After gettin a look around taking in the nice scenic view,we decide that its time to go and get our tickets as i saw the crowds started to build up around the park area. So the ticketing counter is situated at the basement and we have to go down this staircase. Also down there is a gift shop,snack bar,Teddy Bear Museum entrance hall 1 and 2,and the observatory entrance.

This is what the tickets look like, we bought a package for Teddy Bear Museum and Observatory which cost us 14,000won each.
