Boneka Teddy termahal di dunia (karena pakai Louis Vuitton)
The most expensive Teddy bear in the world (because she is wearing Louis Vuitton)

Penduduk Korea zaman dahulu kala dari Tiongkok, sama seperti orang Jepang dan bahkan orang Indonesia. Tapi sekarang, orang Korea tidak mau dihubungkan dengan orang Cina, orang Korea itu ya orang Korea. Korean Chinese sendiri cuma 20 ribu orang total di Korsel. "Han" sendiri juga dipakai sebagai nama sungai (di Seoul, Sungai Han membelah kota).

Korean people came from China long time ago, just like Japanese and even Indonesian. But now, Korean is no longer linked to Chinese. Korean is Korean. Chinese Korean in total is only about 20,000 people in whole South Korea. "Han" is also used to name the river (in Seoul, Han River is dividing across the city)

Ini oleh-oleh dari Pulau Jeju, Teddy Bear Museum (katanya buat syuting Princess Hours, tapi saya tidak nonton juga hehehe). Museumnya ada 3 lantai. Kita masuk itu dari atas, terus makin turun. Lantai paling bawah buat jualan suvenir... Pulau Jeju katanya terkenal dengan hasil jeruk mini (yang makannya harus sekulitnya). Musimnya cuma setahun sekali, April -- saya kebagian dikit. Tapi rasanya tidak terlalu enak (menurut saya lho).

This is what I share from Jeju Island, Teddy Bear Museum (they said it was used to shoot Princess Hours, but I didn't watch it hehe). The museum is 3-storey building. We enter from the highest floor, and go down. The basement is used for souvenir shop. Jeju Island is famous with her mini oranges (you have to eat with the skin). Once a year only, in April -- I tasted a bit. But I didn't really like the flavor (IMO).

Boneka Teddy terkecil di dunia (pakai lup)

The smallest Teddy bear in the world (using magnifying glass)

Karena dikotaki kaca, ya fotografer amatir masih ada pantulan-pantulan.
All are boxed up in glasses, as amateur photographer, there were reflections.
