Warning parsites and possibly upsetting parasite pictures ahead. In Meguro there is a free museum of parasites. It opens at 10 and stays open until 5pm on all days but Mondays or Tuesdays when it's closed. My friend and I thought it'd be fun to check out, especially since it's free. The first floor is suppose [...]
Emily had recently spent some time at MOMAT and suggested it as our way to hide from the sun for a bit and soak up some air conditioning. We got there with just enough time to quickly enjoy some art before the museum closed. We were also lucky because we went on the first Sunday of [...]
A friend and I went to the National Museum of Korea to check out some of their special exhibits. There tend to be two special exhibits that go in rotation at the National Museum, the two we saw were Discoveries from the Sinan Shipwreck 시안해저선에서 찾아낸 것들 which will be house until September fourth and Treasures from [...]
There are trick eye museums in several cities in Korea (Seoul, Busan, and Jeju) as well as in Singapore and China. They're places where you pretty much pay money to take optical illusion photos. The one in Seoul is in Hongdae below the Love Museum. I went with a friend and while I was there [...]
In Siam Paragon, in the basement is an aquarium. And I love aquariums. After going through more security and down an escalator past all the decorations for shark week I went and bought my ticket. There wasn't a line and the aquarium wasn't very packed. I think most of the school groups had just left [...]
I teach at two different small public schools in South Korea. Occasionally when there are field trips I get to go with them. This one was a bit of a last minute surprise. First we took a bus to Lotte World Aquarium where a manager came out and talked to the kids about Lotte World [...]
My first day in Tokyo was on my own. So after breakfast and catching up on sleep I finally talked myself into leaving the hotel and doing some of the stuff my friend had written out and scheduled for me. The plan Tokyo Station Shopping Imperial Palace Ueno Park zoo museum Akihabara shopping wandering around [...]
After a bit of a detour we found ourselves at the Busan aquarium. It's right next to Haeundae Beach beach. Nathalie went off to take a closer look at the packed beach but searching for the nearest shade I headed for the entrance line. The line to the aquarium was long but moved quickly. The aquarium [...]
On our last day on Ganghwa Island we went to the history museum. The museum opened in 2010 and is located on a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The museum tells the history of Ganghwa island from past to present. The museum is somewhat small, but also includes a theater. While everything is in Korean a [...]
One of the museums we went to on Ganghwa island was the Sound Experience Museum. The Sound Museum is packed with musical instruments that you can play with and all sorts of different unique ways sound travels. We were given a tour that was in Korean so I didn't really gain anything from it, but [...]
