Starbucks Korea City Merchandise Series : Gyeongju City 2016 Mug Tumbler Troy Set
**
Starbucks Korea has released several series of City merchandise to promote famous cities in Korea, and Gyeongju is one of its famous series.
Today's review is about Gyeongju City Merchandise Series.
Gyeongju city is a historic city famous for beautiful temples and scenic points.
Here are an official site of Korea Tourism - Gyeongju city: english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_4_10_7.jsp
Since I had a chance to visit Gyeongju city for my weekend trip, I could get Gyeongju city merchandise, which is exclusively on sale at Gyeongju area.
There are three kinds of the items (actually there are four items including Demi mug, but I could not find any at several stores.)
**
The first one is
S/S (Stainless Steel) Gyeongju Troy Tumbler
The shape of the troy is exactly same to ordinary troys sold in Korea.
You can see the name of the city on the troy,
There are other city troys such as Seoul, Incheon, Jeju - most of large cities in Korea.
The symbolic icon of the Gyeongju MDs is historic heritages such as temple, traditional patterns.
You can see temples down there.
The surface of the troy is Glossy.
I saw tens of troys displayed at the store (I missed to take pictures of the inside of the store)
The purple cap.
Next one is
Gyeongju Tumbler
It is a typical 355-ml plastic tumbler - decorated with beautiful symbols of Gyeongju city.
Cherry blossom was added on the tumbler since Gyeongju city is famous for city-wide cherry blossom trees.
It also has a non-slip rubber-bottom.
You can see the Cheomseongdae, a traditional observatory in the tumbler.
"The oldest surviving observatory in the World"
The block of the observatory is featured with gold-foil paper.
Here is one more interesting symbol : The Smile of Millenium
It is a broken piece of Smiling clay block.
It looks a bit younger than actual block.
The last one is Gyeongju city 473 ml Mug.
It has quite similar design to that of tumbler,
Yes, they are all series!
There is a duck-boat at the corner.
You can ride some in Gyeongju Bo-moon Lake.
As all MDs are in common, it is made in China. Funny...
:)
I hope you enjoyed my posting about Gyeongju Starbucks MDs.
See you soon!
