Day 2 in Seoul - Part 2 (War Memorial of Korea, Grevin Wax Museum and the funny Nanta Show)

After our visit to the War Memorial of Korea we made our way back to Myeongdong Station and walked to the Myeongdong Cathedral. The church is about 400 meters away from the station exit and a fairly easy walk.

Our next stop from after the Myeongdong Cathedral is the Grevin Wax Museum.  It is an 800 meters walk towards Euljiro ga-1 Station.

TIP:  For some reason Google Map doesn't work in Seoul.  We used NAVER Application Map in navigating Seoul. I suggest you save yourself some trouble and download this application before your Seoul trip.

Grevin Wax Museum ~ Rubbing elbows with the rich and famous.

We have been to the Madame Tussaud in Singapore and Hongkong and the Grevin wax figures on display were pretty much the same as the ones in Madame Tussaud's (except of course for the few Korean celebrities present), however, Grevin Seoul is delightfully interactive.  

Scanning your tickets barcode allows you to do fun activities, like play basketball with Michael Jordan, roulette gambling with the cast of Ocean Eleven and take a quiz with Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs, etc.

Playing famous at The Grevin left us famished and tired.  We went back to Metro Hotel to rest our tired feet a bit and dined at the Two Two Chicken before heading to the Nanta Theatre also just a block away from our hotel (I really love our hotel's location ~ so accessible to just about everything) 

 Two Two Chicken just officially became my youngest son's favorite Korean chicken :P

Then off to our final item in our Day 2 in our itinerary ~ The Cookin' Nanta.  There are a lot of non-verbal shows in Korea and I highly recommend you see one.  We've seen both Nanta and Jump and found both very amusing.  My youngest commented "he can't breath well due too much laughing".  We booked both shows through Klook as well.

Busy Day 2!
