J e j u G l a s s C a s t l e

It was raining last night, and it certainly dampened our holiday mood when the rain continued this morning. As there aren't many indoor places to visit in Jeju, we have to brave the rain today.
One of the stops we made is to Jeju Glass Castle, a theme park showcasing structures, gardens and exhibits made entirely from glass.

To stay away from the rain, we started with the indoor souvenir shop tour.
Cat figurines.
Christmas comes early.
Glass clocks.
Sports crystal figurines
These look like the houses in the Swiss Alps.
And the music goes on, with the accompanying orchestra.
We take to the outdoor exhibits next.
Saranghae.
Dangling crystals.
Exhibit of the 2002 Fifa World Cup held in Korea.
Don't they look like lighted microphones?
 Snowman melting in the rain soon.
We have our coffee break in the cafeteria inside the glass dome.
Linus' dream of the Great Pumpkin rising from the pumpkin patch.
Colourful giant mugs.
Tulips made from glass.
But these are real lotus flowers.
I couldn't figure out how the hologram work. 
Exhibits of the human form....
.... is always an interesting subject.

The tour at the glass castle lasted slightly longer than planned, not because it is interesting but because we were hiding from the rain. The miserable weather continued throughout the day, and Mr Kang decided that we should visit only indoor places of interest after this. We couldn't agree more.

And another travel trip awaiting....
