Teddy Bears in Jeju-do, South Korea

My favourite in Jeju-do was the Teddy Bear Museum. The super cute Teddy bears were waiting to greet us. 
The museum contains two galleries, a museum gift shop, and a museum cafe.
The museum had many Teddy bears which were moving and showing some cute situations.
There were teddy bears portraying Mona Lisa, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Munroe, Gandhi, Mother Teressa etc.
I just loved and cherished the amazing displays of the Teddy Bear in a unique style.
 The cutest Teddy was of  America's 26th president, Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt and NASA astronauts.

 I loved the Teddy Bear fashion models which displayed the scenes very well. It also showed the green room and the fashion show.

Refrigerating Ice Museum in Jeju-do, South Korea

I visited Ice Museum in Jeju-do. The depictions were wonderful and fanciful. I was amazed to see the ice structures. The carvings on ice were beautiful.
 At the entrance, an employee of the museum distributed the blankets to each person. The temperature inside the museum was -5deg. It was really freezing temperature. I was really impressed by the ice sculptures in the form of Teddy bear, Jeju Hallabeong, beautiful angels, ducks etc.

 The ice sculptures were impressive. There was a beautiful ice castle which had ice bed, ice sofa and ice table.

The ice depictions were beautiful. The best part was the Ice bar shop. It looked so real.
Though the ice museum was small but it had a lot to offer.
Also I was freezing in the refrigerating museum.
I just loved it.

Jeju Island is the largest Island in South Korea. Jeju Island has many tourist attraction points. One of the famous museum is titled " BELIEVE IT OR NOT". It is located in Seogwipo-si, in Jeju Island. Korea is the 11th country for the chain of such a museum. The museum is unique.



Perfect Couple of the Century
The concept was invented by Robert Ripley (1893-1949) who started a newspaper named " BELIEVE IT OR NOT".
The museum portrays the mysteries of the world and many astonishing facts.
Recently, I visited the museum, it features almost 700 astounding, one-of-a-kind items and facts from 198 different countries. I was awed and shocked  by a large selection of hard-to-believe pieces.
The museum gives the details and the historical facts from the different countries.

I was really surprised.
See below some of the famous items of the museum:

Man who fought with the whale and survived
Tallest man on earth
Also on the second floor of the museum, there are some haunting facts which are hard to believe.
I will surely recommend you to visit the unique museum.
