Martina’s Jeju Trip: Day 2

Filed as: Korea and Culture // Responses: 6

Here’s Day 2 of Martina’s Trip to Jeju Island. The day started off with a hike up a mountain (is it just us, or do all Public School trips involve climbing a mountain of some sort?) on a very cold day, then led into a trip to the Teddy Bear Museum. Yes. There is a Museum just for teddy bears. You’d be surprised how many different kinds of teddy bears you could find there! Afterwards, they went to a Buddhist temple and, finally, went to Seogwipo Stadium, which held the Fifa 2002 World Cup and – more importantly – is where the scene is from in Boys Before Flowers when the four boys play soccer. After all was said and done, they went on this mysterious road that – if you turned off the engine of your car – would pull it uphill!

On a side note, we just got back from an almost-three-week vacation in Canada. We documented a few things, and plan on making some movies that will especially be useful to those of you coming to live in Korea anytime soon. So stay tuned! And – FINALLY – the Eatyourkimchi feed on iTunes is finally 100% functional! You can now watch every last one of our videos on your iPod! Huzzah!

I was just at Jeju Island and unfortunately, missed the teddy bear museum, despite already knowing about some of its awesomeness. I did see a butterfly museum though… I know. It's not the same. Where was the diorama room? Anyway, I stumbled on this video and reminded me how I want to go to back to Jeju to see the teddy bears, lava caves and actually climb Ilchulbong. Good video.

The bear museum reminds me of theÂ director of Goong…they used bears to depict certain scenes that happened in the drama…so cute, and they went to a bear museum in one of the episodes.
