A Fascinating Encounter with Wax Figures in Seoul, South Korea

I had so much fun while I was in South Korea for my vacation

You can read about one of my experiences in this article.

One of the places that I visited was the Museum of Wax Figures.

Before that, I never visited that kind of Museum so I didn’t know what to expect.

I hoped I’d have some fun, but I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I expected.

I almost escaped from the Earth with E.T.

I fought with Bruce Lee. (I almost won.)

King Sejong explained to me how he came up with such an amazing alphabet called 한글 (hangeul).

I got to meet the amazing Albert Einstein. Talking to him without much physics knowledge was exhausting.

I left after a short chat, pretending I understood everything that he was explaining.

After chatting with Einstein, I hoped I wouldn’t meet anyone else who talked about things I didn’t get. Luckily, I bumped into the famous and talented Korean footballer, Park Ji-Sung.

He talked about the power of having a strong mentality. Afterward, he taught me some dribbling tricks and once again I realized why he was so successful.

Suddenly, I heard someone saying:

“ Great ambition is the passion of a great character.”

When I turned around, I saw Napoleon Bonaparte.

Even though I was afraid of horse riding, he promised me that nothing bad would happen. So, we ended up riding and talking about his life.

We ended our pleasant encounter with his advice to never give up!

He said that is the lesson I must remember in good and hard times!

Suddenly after I said goodbye to Napoleon, I got an idea.

I am going to check how mentally and physically strong I am by climbing the Eiffel Tower.

Did I climb to the top?

That wasn’t important. Let’s just say, I am stronger than I thought.

I never thought I would meet Yoo Jae-suk, one of the most popular Korean hosts, comedians, and television personalities.

You know him from the Korean show Running Man, right?

He is just as kind and fun in real life as well.

If you haven’t heard of Gangnam Style, then you must be living under a rock.

Psy taught me the correct way to dance to his song.

He also talked about what has changed since he became famous.

It was fun to hear about his music career and personal life

After a bit of dancing, it was time for singing.

This time, I got a chance to sing with the one and only Luciano Pavarotti.

After I finished, I promised him that I would continue to sing only in the shower, where no one could hear me.

Some encounters need to stay a secret, but I met a lot of other amazing and inspiring people.

If you ever come to South Korea, I recommend visiting this museum.

Just check if it’s open because currently, Trip Advisor states that it is temporarily closed.

Have you ever visited a wax museum? Whom did you meet/see there?
