Museums in Jeju Island: Alive Museum – fun by optical illusions and trick art

I had first planned to publish both Alive Museum and the Teddy Bear museum pictures together but halfway through the post I realized there are going to be too many pictures! You’re most likely going to get cramped fingers from scrolling all the way to the bottom and hence the separate postings for both museums.
Unlike any other museums, both venues are suitable for leisure viewing and are extremely photogenic places so be sure to visit them armed with a camera.

After I stumbled out from the Teddy Bear Museum our guide announced that we are heading to yet another museum. I cringed inwardly and couldn’t even muster fake enthusiasm.
Plan B in mind, I took my laptop with me and stepped down from the bus.

Hair makeover by Kevin Woo – Centro Hair Salon

I don’t change my hairstyle much. Most of the time it turned out disastrous so I had given up being adventurous after a few ugly incidents.
Besides my hair is pretty healthy and grows out quite nicely with natural waves at the tips. All in all, pretty acceptable and thus the lack of urgency on my end to shake things up.

Fun times in Jeju Island – Alive Museum, Teddy Bear Museum

While I’m sorting through the glorious pictures of beaches, majestic volcano peaks and mysterious lava caves let me keep you entertained with some funny and light-hearted pictures of some of the attractions we went during our Air Asia X trip.

The Teddy Bear Museum is a popular attraction. Great hang out venue for couples, families and well, just about anyone who has a thing for teddy bears. I’m more on the nature side of things, and would probably spend all my days hiking, cycling, running, swimming on the beach and then pig out crazily on Jeju pigs; but it is understandable that a media trip should cover all aspects of a place; for we are not only writing for ourselves, but for all our readers as well.
Besides, I know there some of you who are teddy bear crazy! 🙂
