Just for fun

So S and I decided to go to the Trick Eye (or Trick Ai) museum in Seoul last Friday.  A good opportunity to get out of the apt and do something fun.  We had to download the app for the place because it's an augmented reality (AR) interactive art museum.  I didn't really know what to expect, but it was a good time.  I am not able to share the videos here, so sorry about that.  They are fun, FYI.  If you know me, email me and I'll send 'em to ya.  There was also an ice museum... I can now say that I've been down an ice slide... that only kinda reminded me of the ice luge at a certain Halloween parties back in the day... LOL.  Nothing so boozy this time around. 

 I'm going to try to do this the way we went thru the museum, but I've got pix from my phone and S's phone, so bear with me ok?

 Commentary on our times?

 She kinda scared me... but the sheeps are cute.

Be very, very careful :)  This was at the entrance.  Go from fire to water!!

 One of the illusions in the first room.  I almost didn't even notice it.  BTW - heights don't scare me.

 I'm pretty chill for about to be eaten by a sea monster.  In the AR version, the serpent flames me.

 The unicorn you can get a pic of riding.

I rode a pegasus!!  And yes, I did it sidesaddle... not sure how it would work otherwise with the wings.  My greek mythology dreams finally came true!

 Nice little seascape... the AR had a dolphin that swims around

 It took me a while to get used to the AR stuff, not gonna lie. 

S and I both opted for NOT riding the sharkies... but aren't they FUN!?

 My own Alice in Wonderland experience... too big...

 And too small.

Not a fishy you really want to meet... 

 I was running away... hehehe.

 Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?

 Another of the AR pix - gotta love the killer whales (or as I like to call them, sea pandas).

Look, Mom - WY!!

What does a woman have to do to get ahead around here?!?  (Groan, I know... too much influence from my BIL.)

 I got to ride the turtle...

The shark and fishies upstaged me.

Another fun thing on the ground... Dracula just wants to... you know... stay non-alive... or undead.

S can sleep when the kitty cat is on guard.

Enjoying a day with my new pet... who can name the artist?!

 Of course we have to go with the skulls and books... it's like they were waiting for me the whole time!!

 With the AR, the candles were flaming and you can kiiinda see the skeletons that were fighting

 Scrooge getting more generous.

 Money for all!!

Trying to pose can be a pain... sigh... there were bats and stuff, too.

S taking his turn.

On to the ice!

 It was cute... and cold.

 S going down the ice slide.

Me on the ice slide.  So they had these mats that you were supposed to use to go down, and in the scootching and trying to get myself to where I could go down, I ended up adjusting weird and... well... I went down on my hip.  However, with all that ice, and my boots, I still didn't fall - so I considered this a win. 

 I was the conductor!

I don't know who the artist was, but they did good.

Never hurts to advertise... 

 but not everyone agrees. 

So cold... so, so cold.

 For those of you who love shoes... and heels.

 We were twinsies!

 An ice room.

 Kitchen

 Toilet... seems like bad planning to me, but what the heck.

 I... I can't get to the food... where is Mario and his fire balls when you need them?!

 I did not sit, lay, or stay here long.

The piano didn't work!!

On the way out, we got this one... I can cross a raging river on a few boards, nae problemo!

Now, this museum is in one of the more student-centered areas of Seoul.  So as we wandered around the area we stumbled upon one of the BEST hours of operation signs I have EVER seen.

 I mean, 3pm - 10:30am are some weird hours, but I can just imagine the rage that came behind "DO NOT ASK ME AGAIN."  Apparently I'm not the only person who does not like having to repeat herself.

Since it was Friday and during Lent, I offered to S that we could split the octopus and beef intestines meal.  I figured he could take the intestines and I could take the octopus.  For some reason, he opted for McDonalds instead.  So I waited until we got home and got a cheese pizza from Dominoes.  Hehe - I had considered that this might be the most Korean sign ever... but perhaps I'll find another like it.  Could be a fun album - signs that just SCREAM Korea... on the other hand, I still like my idea for bad English translations.  Hehe.

So that was a Friday fun day.  As some of you know, I went back into isolation on Saturday and had limited interaction on Sunday.  Monday we went back to work to learn what our shortened schedule for the week would be, and it's a good thing because I'm needing new TV shows to binge.  (Locke and Key, and Altered Carbon are on the list.)

As for my mental state - it's getting better.  :)
