Korea's National Museum of Sciences

The field trip time.
Since I once went to Daejon about 10 years ago, it was a kind of nostalgic field trip, especially after finding out that the field trip would be around Daejon Expo Park area.

After the most sumptuous breakfast ever, we were waiting for the bust that would transport us to the park. We were grouped into 8 buses to ease the flow of 270 people. I could not imagine myself handling that number of people being dragged into one place at the same time.
It turned out that the first stop we visited was not the Expo, it was the National Museum of Sciences. Well, the feeling that museum would be awfully boring had set into my head--guess some would think the same way. Oh, NO. Really?
But....that changed in an instant.
Of course, lots of school kids were playing around the park prior entering into the museum.
As we were approaching the main hall after two escalator rides, my first impression was "WoW", OK, I can do this. The 4-storey museum was huge. Well, the first impression that left mark on me was that it looked just like TAMAN PINTAR in my hometown in Jogjakarta. The difference only in its size. This Daejon one is so much bigger.
The similarities set in....the huge replica (or was it the real one?) Dinosaurs' skeletons erected at the entrance hall were obviously eye-catching. But, wait....the one in Jogja is an animatronic one since it roars:), But, this one in Daejon looked like the real skeleton because it did not move at all. Instead, lots of steel, bolts, and joints were visible so as to hold it steady.
Well, this is how it looked like.
