Psyche World Butterfly Park Jeju Island South Korea

Psyche World Butterfly Park Jeju Island South Korea
The Greatest Butterfly Park in the World

Another feature of the Jeju museum and theme attractions on the island is this interesting place known by many names; Psyche World, Bugs Land, Butterfly Park... There are a series of attractions here Bugs, Butterfies, animals, a mirror maze and more but we will have a look at the bug display and the Butterflies. ^^

The Bug display is truly amazing with many dioramas showing scenes of soccer in play, construction sites, wars, a circus scene, some casual Sunday afternoon in the park and many more. All of the bugs are real! and are carefully manipulated to play their roles in the scene they are depicting.





The butterflies too are all real and there is a real collection to see! there is also some wall art completely made from butterflies.







Amazing and unusual to say the least and I know some people might be a little upset seeing all these insects used as art but I guess it is a unique draw card and something you will not see too often.

Here is some further pictures set to music. ^^



A little late again this week with the blog post but as they say its never to late to be early....? ^^

Anyway have a great week and weekend and I will be back next week with more from Jeju! ^^

Jeju Island Sex Museum and Love Land

Jeju Island Sex Museum and Love Land South Korea

Yes another post about sex museums and parks in South Korea. This time we go to Jeju Island famous for its many places devoted to sex. We managed to visit 2 of those places and I have some pictures and videos to share with you.

Be warned there is a lot of shocking content in the video's so if you are faint of heart you might have to skip this weeks update and come back next week for a more "friendly" update. ^^

Jeju Love Land is located right next to Mysterious Road. So you can see both of these attractions at the same time. ^^

The only other comment I could really make is once you have seen one sex museum or sex theme park you have seen them all. Nothing is really that different unless you have some particular interest in some historical nature regarding the museum piece.















All of these places are easy to find on Jeju. There are many pamphlets or tourist guide books with directions to hundreds of attractions all over Jeju Island.

Well that was a short update for this week. I hope you are having a good time and I will see you again next week with some new material. ^^

2013 Musclemania Universe Korea

2013 Musclemania Universe Korea
Fitness Korea
Ms Bikini Korea
Model Korea Championship
Figure Korea

This weekend just past was the 2013 Musclemania Universe Korea held in Seoul at Kunkuk University.

Once again there were a lot of competitors and huge fan support.
I was there for a majority of the show but once again I left before the end. I was lucky to be seated in the VIP section maybe because I am a foreigner or I had a big camera I was left alone when everyone else was moved out of the area so other personalities and bodybuilders could sit in that section.

I took a few photo's and I made a couple of videos for you to have a look at. Here they are: - The lighting at this years event was unusual so the pictures are quite different from last year.



























Some of the winners:




















That's all for this week. I hope you are having a great time so far this week! ^^
I will see you next week with another Jeju update. ^^

Lotte Hotel Jeju Island and Dam & Roo resort Jeju Island

Lotte Hotel Jeju Island South Korea
Dam & Roo Resort Jeju Island South Korea

Continuing my Jeju island report I wanted to spend my time this week describing some of the different types of accommodation you can expect to find on Jeju.

I had the lovely pleasure of staying in a resort (Dam and Roo) and the luxury Lotte Hotel Jeju.


Lets have a look at the Lotte Hotel First. Right in the heart of Jeju is the Lotte Hotel. A huge complex with thousands of rooms, several pools, restaurants, pool bar, camping area, casino and even a Hello Kitty floor Lotte Hotel is a fantastic place to enjoy some fun and relaxation.

Have a few dollars handy if you want to eat on site as the restaurants are not cheap. We went to the buffet restaurant that served perfect steak, sushi and many other dishes and for 2 people it cost 164,000 won. After the buffet there is a fire show behind the restaurant (see below). Breakfast was also a little expensive at 80,000 won for 2 people....!

Lets Have a look at the place and also some YouTube videos:



















One of the hotel guests was kind enough to let us come in and see what it was like inside one of the Hello Kitty rooms. ^^









Dam & Roo Resort Jeju Island South Korea

The other place I was lucky to stay at was the Dam & Roo resort. Far from Jeju city the resort is out in a quiet area with perhaps 20 rooms, some boasting there own private swimming pool! The meals here have a limited menu but are very reasonably priced not more than an average restaurant and the convenience store at the hotel is also cheaper than I expected. There is an outdoor pool area and barbecue area. The suites are very nice and it is very quiet so a great place to relax.

Here are a few pictures:







Well that's all from Jeju this week. Next week I may take a break from Jeju to bring you an update on the bodybuilding event taking place at Konkuk University this weekend. For more information check out this link:  http://m.blog.naver.com/jpeee/150159977860

Until next week have a great time! ^^

** Also thank you for watching my YouTube video's. ^^ I now have more than 500,000 video views on my channel ** ^^

Jeju Island South Korea - Part 1 - Driving - Mysterious Road

I just had a wonderful long holiday on Jeju Island at the very southern end of South Korea.
Over the next few weeks I will be posting various travels that we went on.

This being the first post I wanted to take you on a virtual tour by showing you some of the driving scenery. Jeju is quite different from the rest of Korea and traffic there is quite light in comparison.

We will also visit Mysterious Road or some people call it Ghost Road where the laws of physics seem to not apply....

So here we go. ^^

Mysterious Road is quite famous on Jeju and is quite a tourist attraction. The legend has it that if you stop your car on the road you will roll forward up the hill or roll backward up the hill (depending on which side of the road you stop on of course). Either rolling bottles or cans on the road or stopping your car to see if it rolls by itself is more common than you would imagine. Watching for several minutes I saw perhaps 5 cars stop and a bunch of Chinese tourists rolling bottles and jumping all over the road! The best way to locate this road is to find out where Jeju Love Land is. The road is right outside you will see the coffee shop and Mysterious Road is right there and runs for 50 - 100 meters past the coffee shop. Go past the coffee shop until you see a sign saying "Mysterious Road Start".





Renting a Kia K5 we drove to our first place of stay the resort Dam & Roo (more on that next week along with Lotte Hotel Jeju). Jeju seems to be the land of the K5 as there are dozens driving all over the island. I think it is a favourite car for all the rental car agencies.

Lets take a little drive on a typical Jeju road:



Well this is my quick update for this week. Next week I will show you a couple of the amazing places you can stay and perhaps something more. ^^
Over the coming weeks I will be sharing more from Jeju Island but I will take a break for a week to bring you Musclemania which will be happening on the 11 of May.
Until next time have a fantastic week! ^^
