Dalki, Heyri Art Valley, originally uploaded by Elise in Asia.
I don’t know where time went, semester is over and now it’s summer vacation. I finished watching the 20 episodes of previously mentioned Winter Sonata, and it will take a little while before I watch another drama again, as it was too ………………… [ a) tacky ; b) brain damaging; c) an insult to intelligence and common sense; d) all of the above]
Here is a picture of Dalki and her friend, Korea cartoon characters, taken at Heyri Art Valley, visited a few weeks ago. That visit was a bit disapointing as most ‘museums’ were for toys, teddy bears and cartoon stuff. I was expecting art stuff but no such luck. The architecture was however really interesting, but most of these pretty places are private houses. Well, live and learn!

C’est pénible! And what can the visitor think about Korean art culture if it is oriented towards infantalism?

Well, luckily, all the nice art galleries are located in Seoul and there are TONS of them. That’s why I was disapointed: the contemporary art scene here is amazing, so Heiry is such a disapointment. On an island where the art scene is nothing worth mentionning (you know what I’m talking about), I wouldn’t have been surprised at all!!
Heiri Art Valley is a sort of tourist trap where you go once and never again! Too bad, the houses are really pretty though.
