I love Teddy Bears! I think every kid and even adults love Teddy Bears! Who would not? Teddy Bears are cuddly, soft, huggable, cute and best of all...they are good sleeping companions ^^
My trip to Jeju Korea, would not be complete and as meaningful without stopping by and visiting the popular "TEDDY BEAR MUSEUM".
I lost myself to the place. I definitely became like a kid again! I gave out "shrieks" of delight at every bear i see. The place is awesome that every "glass" showcased bears imitating popular themes, celebrities and important events that happened or still happening in the world such as: Tarzan and Jane, Michael Jordan, Ali vs. Frazier, Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles, Titanic (yes, you'll see Leo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet bear version ^^), Celebration of Chinese New Year, An Old Korean Folk Village, Korean Warriors, and of course the Bear Version of Ji Hoon and Eun Hye from Princess Hours. Visiting Teddy Bear Museum is like traveling back in History and meeting Icons too. Just like Marilyn Monroe...now i know what she looks like when she became a teddy bear ^^ Seriously, the place is great. Very cute!
Of course, Winnie the Pooh and Care bears are present in the museum. I would be very sad if I found out they're not included. But i have not seen Yogi Bear...i wonder where was he?
To enjoy the place, a person should allot at least 2 hours. There is a park for more "picture taking" with the bears and a snack corner just in case you get hungry after looking around. I am sure young and old will have a great time at this museum.
I also had a great time buying my very own "teddy bear" from TBM souvenir shop down below. I think I spent a lot of time at the shop that at the gallery because i had a hard time "choosing" which among those "teddy bear stuffs" should i buy. Everything is just so cute! If i have a choice...i want to but them all. Another choice is: To live in the museum! haha ^^
Souvenir items are pricey. But if you rarely visit Jeju and TBM, a souvenir is a must. A small bear is about P600.00, a medium one ranges from P800-P1,000.00 while a really big bear would cost you P1,500-P2,000. Souvenir items are not limited to "stuffed bears". There are TBM bags, wallets, umbrellas, picture frames, keychains, stationaries and postcards.
Am i too obvious in promoting TBM? Well, this is a free ad^^
