Hey everyone. So a few weeks ago we had a really long vacation. That's right, we had an entire week off. Emily's mom (Margaret) came over from Canada, and we did almost every single tourist thing we could think of. One day before going to a palace we decided to go to the Korea Postage Stamp Museum.
Now, before we got there I kept thinking it was going to be boring. I mean how fun could it be to look at a bunch of stamps? Well, it turns out that looking at these little square pieces of paper can be pretty cool.
When we walked in it seemed pretty basic. The first part of the museum was pretty much the history of postage stamps. This section had some good information and a few cool action figures.
A little history to start of the experience.
Delivery guys then and now.
A couple of action figures.
I thought these cars were pretty cool.
Cat stamp!
Some super old stamps.
The history stuff was okay, but around the corner everything got way better. As we come around the corner we find a mirror to take a picture with. They also had cartoon stamps, dinosaur stamps, scented stamps, and all kinds of other stamp related stuff. I was most excited about the cartoon stamps btw. I never knew that stamps could be so cool. We took way to many pictures at this place, so check em out.

I used to have a set of these when I was younger.
Mickey! Anyone want to hit up Disneyland?
Dino Stamps!
After seeing all of these great stamps we moved on to the next section. It had some more cool figurings. There were also stamps from all around the world. The world stamps were all inside of special drawers. You pick the country you like then pull out the drawer, and you get to see a bunch of cool art from that country. Then we played a little video game. The entire game was in Korean, but it was still fun.
"No way... that's great. WE'VE LANDED ON THE MOON!"
There were stamps with birds.
There were dancing dolls.
There was a room that shows us how to collect stamps, and a computer that let us color our own stamps.
And finally, we came across all kinds of drawers that contained most of the stamps that the Korean postal service has made.
Now, I am officially tired of talking about stamps. All in all the stamp museum was pretty cool. It was the first thing we did that day. Later on we got to see a palace and see another museum that was pretty awesome. I added way to many pictures to this post. I shot a video of the entire museum, and I will add it at the end of the post. Anyways, I need to stop typing. I hope you guys have a wonderful day, and until next time Seoul long!
This video is a bit shaky, so apologize if you start puking 12 seconds into it. I also forgot to turn on the sound. Don't worry though, I addedsome music to help get you through all the shaking.
