@heathorn,
I had korean food for the whole week when I was there. Yes, the taste was great, real authentic korean food. However, you must be a kimchi lover for start or else, you’d be suffering like my wife and mum. *LOL*

The underwater dio is so cool!
Another nice coverage from you ^^
Ah….Korea looks soooo nice….I heard that the food is superb, they say it’s one of the main things that attract tourists?

@Katsura-chan,
Yup, I learn more about museums partly because of my wife. She works in a museum as a conservator. After visiting several museums and see the artwork, Monalisa in The Lurve. Gosh, I know museums are normally a must see in a trip. About photography, many of the museums prohibit visitors from taking photos. The main reason is that the flash light will degrade the material especially paintings/drawings. Like the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, I wasn’t allowed to take any photos too.

@rockleelotus,
The Jeju Folklore and Natural Museum is rather easy to sneak around and take photos. Unlike other museums, there weren’t many security guards on that day.

@Lyli,
Thank you. Talking about the sea activity, I’m amazed myself, the female divers actually dive into the deep sea without any oxygen tank. If only you could look at the introductory video, I believe you would find them amazing too.

@chubbybots,
Haha… My post is only a small subset of the actual Jeju. You should do a detail visit if you could as Korea tour is cheaper than Japan tour (save money for more figures and nendos and gunpla).
Talking about that diving. I can’t even if I’ve an oxygen tank, can’t imagine diving without one.

haha thanks to you I don’t have to go Jeju!!

Nice detailed write up and references!! I love the dioramas Museums do have their part to play in documenting our history if not all will be lost! Don’t think I’ll be able to dive down the ocean like them!!

Well looking forward to the next fun part!!

Another post that made us learn a lot. Thanks for the time you put on those explanations.

Those diving women are remarkable and the dedicated museum is very interesting.
All those dioramas are extremely well made. Especially the one under water and with the village reconstitution.

I should go more often to museums or expositions. This looks very informative and i think this i very important to learn some specificity of the country you’re visiting.
I would be ashamed to myself returning from a trip without learning anything.
Bad nad taking photos without being allowed to … but thanks lol
