Somebody stop me! We’re at the World Cinema Museum on Jeju, another wonderful tourist trap on the coast, about twenty minutes east of Seogwipo. The World Cinema Museum is a little like Dinosaur World Theme Park, but instead of just plaster dinosaurs, there are also plaster sculptures of random movie moments and characters, such as this Jim Carrey gem. Also, while Dinosaur World Theme Park appears to have been totally 1/2 assed in its creation, the World Cinema Museum is at least 3/4 assed. I mean, the grounds are pretty, and there’s air conditioning in the building.
My goodness, more dinosaurs. Unlike in Dinosaur World, however, these dinosaurs aren’t real. It’s just movie magic.
Now that I think of it, isn’t this the scene in Jaws where they realize they DIDN’T kill Jaws?
When’s the last time there was a good movie about evil killer crocodiles? Peter Pan? Sharks are always popular, piranhas, but not enough crocodiles. Maybe the next Batman villain can be Killer Croc, who I know next to nothing about except that he makes a hilarious LEGO figure:
Here some people are fighting on top of the museum roof but in case you can’t tell, there’s something wrong with the right guy’s hand.
Oops. Like I said, 3/4 assed.
From the museum, we went on to Pyoseon, which has a lovely beach and a lovely resort.
Nature on a leash. Ahhhh.
Here some tourists are sitting down to lunch. The one on the left is a Mets fan. Small world.
Sunrise Peak, about ten hours after sunrise. It takes about twenty minutes to walk to the top.
This is the view of the volcanic crater from the top. It’s pretty, but not as nice as the spectacular views of the surrounding area.
This is a UFO-shaped restaurant out towards Hallim. Hmmm.
These are photos taken from Jungmun beach the next day. This is from the “secret” side of Jungmun beach.
