One of the attractions we visited during our South Korea trip at Jeju-do was the Teddy Bear Museum. It is a teddy bear lovers' paradise as the visitor is surrounded by galleries full of teddy bears in various costumes, depicting scenes from famous eras, movies, dramas, and of famous people, paintings etc. Even if you're not a child, you are bound to be fascinated by all the different types of teddy bears that could be found in the museum. It was indeed a feast for the eyes, and for my camera as well, when Dear and I visited the museum.

The Teddy Bear Museum is a wonderful place for kids and teddy bear lovers. But perhaps for the adult who is not into such cute toys may find it boring to see so many teddy bears in one place. My Dear and I quite enjoyed the tour, especially the outdoor areas. We also got teddy bear souvenirs each courtesy of our tour guide. Until now we are still not sure whether he meant it as a joke (free gift from the museum) or they were really bought out of his own pocket.
