Our World - Auspicious beginnings for Chinese New Year

This time of year, most shopping malls and homes are brimming with red lanterns and other red decorative items to welcome the Chinese New Year celebrations. With just a few days left before the festive season kicks in, I thought it would be nice to start off the week sharing some festive photos captured at Queensbay shopping mall in Penang.

Our World - Teddy bear Museum

If you're a fan of teddy bears, you'll absolutely love this museum. We made our way to The Teddy Bear Museum at the Namsan Seoul Tower in Seoul. It houses a vast collection of past and present teddy bears dressed beautifully in different costumes.

As opposed to most other museums I visited, this one is cute and amusing. I have not seen so many teddy bears in one place. I was pleasantly surprised with the unique presentations and cool set up. The curators truly has a sense of humour.

The gallery is grouped into two sections: Exhibition Hall 1 which features the historical Seoul whereas Exhibition Hall 2 introduces interesting facets of modern Seoul.

The above pictures depict scenes of the past appearances of various historical events.

Equally impressive is the modern day scenes featuring various aspects of Seoul lifestyle. It's really fascinating to learn how Seoul has changed and developed over time from the olden to modern days.

I know I got a bit carried away taking pictures of these adorable teddy bears but everything looked so adorable.

Like other tourist attractions, there's also a souvenir shop at the museum. I bought a little cute bear as most everyone else seems to have done. Not that expensive and they are made with the most expensive materials.
