Korea Day 03 - Teddy Bear Museum Part 2

me blending into the crowd.... and look! ahren and I are selling bear food! muahahha

me: hugging ahren here, cos dunwan him to feel too inferior from those expensive bears...


oooo a whole showcase of miniature bears! very intricate and colourful. and second photo is wj with the "Princess hours" bear collection.










care bears anyone? Rem the chorus: Care bear countdown...5 4 3 2 1 SHINE!


bears do catwalks too! shouldn't they be doing bearwalks instead?















The famous Louis Vuitton Bear!!!! i almost missed this little fella cos he was so inconspicuous!
Had to ask around everyone whether had they seen him! and one of my tour groupies was kind enough to direct me to him and said that he was just beside the Swaroski Bear...yah they group all the attas bears together...


van gogh anyone? and a cute Winnie the Pooh with his tongue stuck out.




Teddy Bear Museum

It contains two galleries, a museum gift shop, and a museum cafe. Also, on site is a museum bar/restaurant, a wonderful place to meet friends, family, and lovers. From the outside garden, there is a great view of Chungmoon Beach.

According to legend, President Roosevelt went on a bear-hunting trip, but had not shot any bears by the end of it. One of his staff members caught a bear cub and lashed it to a tree for President Roosevelt to shoot. However, President Roosevelt refused, feeling it was inappropriate behavior for a sportsman such as himself.

saying goodbye to my much awaited Teddy Bear Museum (and of cos it was ahren's favourite destination in Korea, he waited so long to see all his Korean cousins!)

fast moving snow scenes from the coach...look at the beautiful swirls created by car tires on the snowy road with snow-covered bushes as the background setting.



NANTA means figuratively reckless punching as in a slugfest at a boxing match. The NANTA is a non-verbal performance of reckless rhythms that dramatize customary Korean percussion in a strikingly comedic stage show. Integrating uniquely Korean traditional tempos with a western performance style, NANTA storms on stage into a huge kitchen where four capricious cooks are preparing a wedding banquet. The female one was REALLY a CHIO BU!!!! too bad cannot take photos during the show.

Ticket Price: 65,000 won
