TheOdom4 : Daegu National Muesum National Geographic Exhibit

Today we went to the Daegu National Muesum, which is currently housing an exhibit of National Geographic photographs. The museum is really amazing, but, as luck would have it we arrived at the same time as a tour bus full of students, so the calm you see here did not last long.
The photographs were amazing, as you would expect, and there was no photography of the pictures allowed, but you can see some of them here:

Of course, you don't get the "real life" experience of looking at the photos while all the people look at you, pointing, and saying "Meegook saram"... American. It might be better for you... sigh...

R-Man wrestling a polar bear...

Pooks taking it's picture.

The museum also has several exhibits of Korean history and culture. Here a crayon rubbing is made. Big Daddy had to wait in line, just like the kids, and he was so proud!

OK, I think I have a problem... I was like, Oh, look at their shoes... and then I tried to find a pair to buy online... but the first step is admitting you have a problem, right? And you can't find shoes bigger than a size 7 here... I am DYING!

A traditional robe, beautiful, but it's not shoes :)

Had to take a picture of this, which shows that "females spent a substantial part of their daily life with 'seven friends' in a workbox: needle, thread, thimble, scissors, ruler, iron. and long-handled smoother."

A photo of the seven friends. This exhibit prompted a lot of discussion and feminist debate, and so we decided to come up with our own lists:
Big Daddy: Dental floss, e-mail, toilet paper with aloe, huggies wipes, cell phone, little brown notebook (free from pizza hut in Beijing) and soju.
R-Man: legos, toilet, television, Captain Underpants books, teddy bears, computer, and soccer ball.
Pooks: TV, tigers, Barbies, basketball, jar to hold critters, running track, and Tom and Jerry movies.
Me: Coffee, Facebook, e-mail, coffee, running shoes, water, and beer.
Thank god times have changed, and mine and pooks aren't needle and thread!

Again, these exhibits said no photos, but there weren't any guards and we needed some photos for here. These were some of the exhibits of ancient Korean culture. A Buddhist gong.
