Korea Trip Day Five

How's my complexion after the Ginseng Strawberry Yogurt Mask? Puurrrfect! :)

We then went to the Teddy Bear Museum in Jeju. They showcased the different types of teddy bears in collection. This is the smallest one 4.5mm. It so small that we a magnifying lens had to be placed in front of it.

This one had like diamonds and precious stones studded on on. EXPENSIVE.

Saw these 2 huge bears before leaving the place, think they are so cute. Really cuddly too.

But nothing beats this. Hahahah Its GIGANTIC.

We then visited Yongduam (Dragon Head Rock) We met the Jeju women divers there. Caught them in action. Can you believe it, while we were all wrapped up like buritos, those garung ladies actually dived into the sea to catch sea creatures for sale. They only put on a simple scuba gear and courageously dived into the sea to make a living. Apparently, its going to be a lost trade soon as younger girls nowadays won't wanna do it.

The women divers will catch octopus, sea cucumbers and abalone for sale. Koreans eat this alive.

"Hor.." Its cold.

Even my smile was frozen, I wonder how the women divers did it. *salutes*

Had Ginseng Chicken for lunch. Hot and nice. Then we headed for the airport to return to Seoul.
