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.

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! 🙂

What to eat in Jeju Island: Local food – Black Pork on Black Pork (Heuk Dwaeji) Street

What better post to start off my Jeju adventures if not for food? And this particular delicacy is a Jeju specialty; aptly named the Jeju Black Pig, a breed of domestic pig found on the Korean island.

The Jeju Black Pig is a small pig with black skin (hence the name) with smooth coat of hair. It has erect, unfolded ears and a narrow snout.
