Haesinding Park

It was rather exciting having some family around and being able to do some venturing around Korea. Obviously there was a lot of food consumption, Korean bbq's, shopping, sight seeing and simply just enjoying each others company. Lobs & Tyrone visited school and the children were very taken by them, so curious about the way they looked and why they were so tall and big!

Lobs last few days in Korea, we set out and explored a tad more. Haesindang Park was rather interesting and humorous to see so many visual monuments of penis in a variation of artistic ways. There were a lot of chuckles, yet also curiosity to the meaning behind this famous penis park in Korea. Apparently there is Jeju Loveland which is a bit more x rated than Haesindang Park. The parks make for wicked photographs (haha) and a lot of puzzled people back home, wondering if this place is for real!

Everland Amusement park is Korea's largest theme park, I believe Universal Studios is currently under construction in Korea as well. I am not a huge them park enthusiast and it is because I cannot bare crazy rides that turn you upside down and give you a will to think you are going to die, instead of a thrill of a ride! The T Rex Roller coaster looked unbelievably terrible and obviously I was sitting that one out! It is good to take a day out and just enjoy the atmosphere of the Everland world once in a while, to an extent I should say.

The trick eye and Ice Museum was a lot of fun. There were a lot of great tricks that were very witty and clever. I guess you had to get the photography right as well to make it sharp. I always enjoy interactive Museums that gets you involved and part of all the great action.
The Ice Museum was obviously very cold and obviously a snapshot of life on ice, squashing into an igloo had to be my highlight, although not entirely a 'real' one, but that didn't matter!

The Seoul Lantern Festival was absolutely stunning, I thought the lanterns in Auckland were amazing but they are nothing compared to what I saw along the river of Seoul. These lanterns were lit up in 3d on the water. The array of colours shined so brightly and made for a beautiful night walk admiring such artistic beauty.
