Hello there, it's been a while..! There has been some gloomy gray November days lately and why not put some colour to it, shall we? This island is filled with nature and beauty but Jeju city, on the other hand, is quite basic. Not as many cool striking buildings (at least in my opinion) as the bigger cities. Most is basic, slightly grayish concrete. But one thing that illuminates all that concrete is the murals This is of course not only Jeju. Most places I've gone to in Korea is hiding murals and installations a bit everywhere. And it's very charming.
Where I'm from there is not really much like this. Some cool graffiti paintings here and there but what I feel about the murals I see here is that many of them have that warm and cozy feel to them.
It's not always a masterpiece but it makes a difference when walking around town.
I often get curious while taking walks and get like "oh what treasure could I find in that little cozy alley?" 😂 It's also not uncommon with shops, cafés and restaurants to have most of their house covered in art and I just love it! It makes it so much more fun and interesting. Really. 😁
Like these cute decorations at Bomnal Café
I "collected" some of them and thought why don't I share this? So here are some pics! Enjoy! ;)
Jeju City hall area This bunny looks confused. jeju city hall area in eastern Jeju in Seongsan. this turtle almost looks real! The most common theme on murals in Jeju - the ocean. paint makes everything less boring. bomnal cafe,aewol, jeju island at Bomnal cafe in Aewol-eup, Jeju island simply cute. found this cute house when we went to Chujado earlier this year. The whole neighbourhood is covered in art. I don't know what it is but it's pretty. Seogwipo, Jeju island, Korea Randomly found this in an alley . Jeju city. a typical mural with the ocean and the female divers as motive. - seogwipo, jeju-do
