I watched amazing race tv show and one of the task when they go to Seoul is to open the lock..at N seoul Tower.It has so many locks. This also include from kdrama - Boys Over Flower where Jandi and JunPyo dates for first time at the cable car.
imagine Jandi and Junpyo in here
Located at Namsan park , we take subway from myeongdong st. and lucky there was a shuttle bus to cable car. ( there is also elevator provided at namsan tunnel)
it took just few minutes to go to Nseoul tower.
After that u go can go to the lock of love area or purchase ticket to both observation tower and teddy bear museum or either one.
Nseoul tower
Here it is lock from all over the world and language :

Teddy Bear museum :
Joseon era
A lot of Teddy Bears from different theme :range from Joseon to the current era are place here. The main museum is located at Jeju but since Jeju is far- just vist Seoul Museum. From Kdrama view Goong / Princess Hour bears are here.,yes they shoot at Jeju but it has is own segment in here. I was looking for Naughty Kiss bear drama but none here.
blue house bear
Prince Hours / Goong bears
Goong / Princess Hour
The Cast
Missed the boys,,, Yoon Eun Hye latest drama that i follow was Lie To Me. But Song Ji Hyo i watch her every week..as she keep on running. (get it ? in running man ) lol
We went back still using the free shuttle bus to Chumero Station nearby the cable car station.

Recommendation - to save money bring your own lock from home.

I never thought i will visit an expo ...but i did visit an international expo and it is located at South Korea !
c the big o?
Yeosu expo start from 05.12.2012 ~ 08.12.2012 and coincidentally my vacation to Korea falls within that range.CNN has list this expo as must visit so i have included this expo in the itinerary. The main theme is "The Living Ocean and Coast "
My first impression is it is massive and amazing.. ! A lot of country participate in this expo !
You can go to Yeosu by bus, train and aeroplane. After considering time and our budget ,we decided to go to Yeosu via KTX. We using the KR pass saver for this trip. In order to have one day full visit we take train from Seoul Station at 5:10 am and we will go back to Seoul at 9:50 pm
The KTX depart on time and it is convenience. If u bring your earphone u can listen to songs provided in the train. It is the latest song they play from Big Bang, CNBLUE to OST of Rooftop Prince and Love Rain. It is also has nice view looking at the paddy field outside the window.Read the guide book as you can also charge your phone here
We arive at 8:20.. I also bought the Yeosu ticket via online and need to redeem it at counter. It is weekdays and people already queueing.
Once you enter you will see interactive screen on the ceiling. There is a photo collage appear in the screen and sometimes in form of whale :)
The first thing that we go is the international pavilion. Went to Japan Pavilion it interesting where their story is about a boy and tsunami and the relation between tree and sea. We also went to Thailand Pavilion. They gave us fridge magnet and there is mermaid in there is use of 4d style in the pavilion.
Next is Singapore pavilion, of course since we are from South East Asia the staff ask bout us. They also the one who inform us regarding Malaysia week. lol we miss the launch , They also has propose using sea and process the waste instead of land.
For lunch we went to of course Malaysia Pavilion , they perform some traditional dance and they also sell nasi Lemak(Halal) and teh Tarik. The price is not the same but this is import wei ! and it taste delicious. Malaysia Pavilion showcase the 1 malaysia theme and malaysia beautiful coast , flora and fauna,. They also let us pray there. Thank guys.. erk do u want part time haha just because they stay in Korea till August! A must visit to others ( bias much ? lol)
After lunch we went to Indonesia,Australia , Philippines . Each country has their own unique presentation on the theme.
Dugong story
I also went to this pavilion where they focus on dugong.. ! dugong is so cute speaking in Korean language!
korea pavilion
Korea Pavilion as host is also has turn their pavilion as big aquarium.. the image is amazing! there is also some dancing /game during presentation.
Germany.. u may not won euro 2012... First we amaze that suddenly the screen is split into doors! this is a must for u - student !
The big hype of the aquarium also make us queue there.. the attraction is the white beluga and the tunnel where u can see eel,fish swim across u.
Time envy us so much ( totally cant finish touring the expo in one day)
Oh wifi is provided in each pavilion! I also saw a lot of Jung Ji Hoon there.. i mean there is a lot of army officer!and i think i saw one like rain!! and by end of week he really perform there.. what if the one i saw is really rain ??? pffftfftftf
