Trick Eye Museum
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 [...]
