Land of Pigmies

Unknown to us before arrival, Jeju is loaded with super lame tourist attractions.  (Read:  Unknown to us before arrival, Jeju is loaded with super cheesy/awesome photo opportunities.)  One such goldmine of photo-ops was the Soingook Theme Park.*

* Most of the time, the Korean name is translated into English, so that it makes sense (usually)  in either language.  Maybe they thought 'soingook' was an English cognate, we're not sure, but for whatever reason they decided to make the English name the romanization of the Korean. 

소인국 테마 파크 

Soingook Theme Park

Translation according to our cell phone dictionary:

Land of Pigmies Theme Park

 

The miniature Statue of Liberty at the entrance to the parking lot.  Granted, it's been a while since either of us have seen Lady Liberty, but she's looking a lot more feminine and sexy than we remember the actual one looking.
