One of my favorite Korean dramas of all time is
Princess Hours, which first aired in 2006 and starred my favorite Korean actress,
Yoon Eun Hye. I loved the drama so much that I've even dreamed of flying to Jeju Island so that I can visit the teddy bear museum which was featured in the drama. However, a trip to the island is not possible at this time - budget-wise and schedule-wise.
But as luck would have it, I need not fly all the way to Jeju just to see the teddy bears. Apparently, there's a teddy bear museum here in Seoul, and it's just a few subway stations away from where we live! I was over the moon, all the more after receiving an invitation from the museum to come and visit!

Sleuth = group of bears. |
And so yesterday, Yue and I went to nearby Jongno to visit the
Teseum Teddy Bear Theme Park. Located near
Exit 6 of Dongmyo Station, this sleuth
(aka group of bears) is the first thing you'll see when you emerge from the subway station.

Off to the bear cave! |
This cave-like structure is the entrance to the museum, and as you descend the stairs you'll be greeted by rows upon rows of cute and colorful bear statues.
To the bear cave, we go!
More of Teseum after the jump!
