Hi there! I apologize for taking so much time off, if you follow my other socials I had numerous issues last year. Besides burn out, this video was filmed last year and was supposed to be my last video of 2023 but I had issues with the sponsor on it at the time. Anyway, if you follow my instagram (@josieliftsthings) travel and filming for this year is well underway and videos here and on my second channel are starting again 😊 Good to be back!

LET’S EXPLORE SOUTH KOREA!! 😊😊
It’s totally fine, don’t worry
Welcome back!!!
So happy you are back, your one of our favorite channel ❤
Why are you speaking in English? You are in Korea. Don't you try to speak in Korean?
@@heavenhaven7254 What a seriously idiotic thing to say.
I used to tell my friends in college, Winter in Korea is like winter in Buffalo NY and Summer is like those in Houston TX.
Korea is such a fun and cool country! I would like to see more traveling! 🎉
It really is! Thanks for watching 😊
2:27 -1 in winter season is pretty warmy for Korean people.
Yeah I have played baseball on a snowy -21 degrees day. True story.
하하 -25도는 기본이에욯ㅎㅎ
-5 would be the lowest temp it would get to in northern ireland. I keep forgetting they are from Australia though, so God bless them, this would be very foreign to them.
-1도는 사실 안춥죠 ㅋㅋㅋ 😅
When it's time around soo-neung in Korea, you know it's real winter finally came🥶 you'll get to know your thigh feeling hurt in outside cause of the freezing weather. But in recent years like 1 to 2 years, things doesn't seem like that I guess its global warming is real kicking in
The lakes only freeze at the top so most fish simply school in the deepest parts and take a "winter rest." In this resting state, fishes' hearts slow down, their needs for food and oxygen decrease, and they move about very little.
For maps you need to use either Naver or KakaoMaps in Korea. They are both (somewhat) in English.
Thanks for the tips!
Foreign apps don’t work in Korea
Korean government required Google Map to install map server physically in Korea so that data will stay within Korea, if they want map data from Korean government.
Google refused.
I'm korean.
I haven't heard of that.
Are you 100% sure ?
한국과 북한은 전쟁이 끝난 것이 아니기 때문에 해외기업의 지도 사용에 문제가 있어요.
The Best weather season to Visit Korea is
“””Mid April through early May “””
Or mid September to early October
4월 5월보다는 9월 10월을 추천합니다
4월 5월에는 중국 사막에서 일어나는 황사 및 미세먼지가 많이 몰려와서 하늘이 심각합니다~
well thats good to know. I'm there from 13th april to 18th may :D Jackpot
Fuxking shit China dust
I agree 100% with your opinion even though I am Korean.
Actually isn't all of October OK?
Hi from Sydney! Love your videos❤. I am off to Korea soon and this is so helpful!
I'm so glad! You’ll have the best time!
how was it? Im going to japan for 10 days then korea for 3 days, is it enough for korea?
Wow, what an eye-opening experience! Your first day in Seoul seems full of surprises. Can't wait to see more of your adventures in South Korea! 🇰🇷
Glad you are back. i also visited Seoul in Jan. your video makes me refresh my memory in Seoul! it was really fun and thank you so much. hope you well. you look so good😄
I’ve watched all your Korea vlogs and watching the fully polished tour of Seoul is epic 🔥I like both formats. I gotta catch up on your videos. Wish you two a great year ahead 👍
Woo thank you so much Eric!! Going back through my comments and found this, thanks so much!! Hope you've had a great year so far 😁
I’ve been wanting to head to Seoul for the longest time! I met heaps of people in Japan that said they were heading there after Tokyo which I found interesting. Really can’t wait to visit! ❤
I enjoyed your vid. It was helpful to see you show some things you need to know/use while traveling/Sightseeing in Seoul. It seemed like people there were nice and helpful despite maybe a bit of a language barrier
Thank you! My sister and I are going to tour S. Korea in October so this was helpful.
한국 여행이 좋은 추억이 되었기를 바라요❤ 다음에 또 놀러오세요!
I love your vibe, you and your bf create a really nice vibe and a fun atmosphear for videos, looking forward to seeing more
Hope you guys enjoyed staying in Seoul, South Korea. Pay visit when weather become warm enough to hang around without beanie.^^
Hello. I'm Korean. If you're going to travel to Korea, never go to Gwangjang Market or Myeongdong. They sell trash food at a high price. I'm really sorry if you've already visited.
Where should they go?
what do you recommend for street food… thanks
@@stuartfong8280 There are a lot of street food at the market that locals go to, not tourist destinations.
Mangwon Market maps.app.goo.gl/BC3xXWC5Y5UWXz1Y8
If it's far away, restaurants in department stores with proven hygiene and popularity are good.
Actually they are not trash food, just common street food. Problem is that their prices are double of other locals as many foreign visitors are visiting the market.
@@stuartfong8280hongdea street food is so cheaper than street of seeing video.
I love the charicaturists where you can literally choose your artist ❤❤❤
I love your confidence in travelling. I always feel like I suffer with imposter syndrome quite badly when I travel but watching you makes me feel more comfortable and confident with it
Korea is certainly very unique with food, language and culture!! I'm proud to be a native Korean💙❤️🖤
Transportation in general is amazing!!!
한국을 직접 느끼시고 좋은 여행 및 체험 되셔요~ 한국 첫 여행 축하해요...🤩😘
Great to have you guys back! The beanie looks real cute! I'd love to visit South Korea one day.
winter in korea is very cold. you can experience all different cusine in department store. this place is warm and cozy.
Which department stores have the best variety of food areas?
@vesper180 Hyundai or lotte Department is recommended
@vesper180 Hyundai or lotte Department is recommended, but I also enjoy Emart very large supermarket.
Korea's winter colder than Moscow Russia. Temperature dropped by -19 with lot of snow
Water is called mul in Korean language
Great video Josie! We loved our time in South Korea it was so fun! We have our DMZ video coming out next. Did you visit?
I used to live Seoul to 7 years (1996-2002) with one year prior in another city. Every year on my way to USA I stop for a few days for visiting friends. Seoul is ever changing and Koreans are hardworking and on the other spectrum are hard partying. Lived in the Hongdae area, office was first on Samsungdong then Insa dong and my church and gym are we in myungdong. Neighborhoods change from one year to another. Was in Seoul end of March for 24 hour and will be back next week for a week. It’s crazy how it changed but what I love about Koreans is that since I spoke Korean (out of practice so it takes a day or two to get back into the rhythm. Being an American I see how Asia is far more advanced and I’ve moment you arrive in an American airport you die comparing to the convenience of Incheon, Singapore or Suvarnabhumi Bangkok airports.
Just wondering, is this the only video in your Korea series? Would love to see more!
I'm actually going to Korea tomorrow!
So I I'm watching this for some tips😂
this video was so much fun to watch im korean in australia!!!
You’re such a joy to watch 😬 I first discovered your channel when I was researching about Thailand and got through the whole playlist in like a week 😂 Wishing you luck for all the travels planned for this year 🙏
Really useful and mesmerizing dear
I just got back from Korea last week, Love it! BTW 8,000w is $5.85 USD for American viewers which is pricey in Korea. Meyongdong is a tourist area.
Awesome video...beautiful people and culture. I was thinking of a December trip with the family but crikey it looks very cold 🥶 may have to reconsider
2:15 The reason Isaac Toast is famous is because it helps people who have failed financially once in their lives get back on their feet. The brand only grants store ownership permits to people who are in financial difficulty. I don't think that brand of toast is very tasty. However, it is a brand that deserves praise for its social contribution.
Glad your back. Your hair looks really good when it’s down.
hi Josie I remember this when I saw you guys and told you about the Netflix lady thanks for the shout out hope to see you again =)
For maps, use Kakao or Naver maps
Yayyy so good to see your videos are back!!
Glad you like them! I’m baaaaack! Let’s go 2024! 😂🙏😁
Thks loved your video
hope you guys come back again❤
겨울에 영하 1도면 나쁘지 않은데요. 바람만 안 분다면 좋은 날씨입니다. 한국에는 겨울에 눈이 내립니다.
How refreshing to see someone down to earth and honest
Exploring different cultures
How refreshing to see someone leave a kind, nice comment! Thank you so much ☺️☺️😁
Welcome back to CZcams, I miss you guys so much honestly 😂
I have been following you since I watched your China series. Thank you for providing such a beautiful video.
Woo thank you so much for watching! 😁🙏
welcome to KOREA~~~~!!!
자주 오세요 ^^
Josie, it seems like you would’ve enjoyed your time in Korea a little more if it wasn’t so cold. Maybe you should try visiting again during a warmer month! :)
Koreans use kiwi to make sauce for sandwiches, I love it so much. 😊
Asia is a great continent and you have shown a lot of delicious and lovely things and it's quite interesting to watch. Very Good! Keep it up!
Thank you so much 😊
I wanna visit Korea one day.
So colorful and many details. Visually pleasing. Polarized, clean, busy, wholesome fun compared to western countries. Best countries for food: Japan & Korea for sure.
너무 멋진 분들 이세요 , 한국에서 좋은 인상 많이 남기고 가세요 ~
Thank you!
Glad you are back. Enjoyed your tour of Seoul.
Woo thank you so much Judith! Excited to be back and ready to film and travel for this year!☺️🙏
U got brains girl! 😂 Cuz U genuine and intelligent!
Classic Korean food has no chili and doesn’t have much oil. Kimchi was also white. Korean ancestral rite tables for traditional holiday are proof.
love ur channel❤
Yay my boo Josie ❤is back
why didn't you use credit card? It's accepted everywhere in Korea even in mom and pop stores and they give you better rate.
Loved it! Great to see and hear about Seoul. And great to hear about it from you! Glad to see you posting again! Definitely looks like a place to visit.But need to remember the woollies. You looked cute with your hair down and rugged up in the beanie and jacket!🥰
Hello Josie & Michael👋👋👋 This was amazing, I enjoyed seeing the markets and historic Seoul, very cool stuff👍👍👍 To answer your question, fish go into a form of hibernation, they burrow down into soft sediments and rest bc their heart, metabolism etc slows down like a bears does during hibernation. TYFS, take good care and see you soon🤞♥️🙏💫✨👼🏻✨💫🙏♥️
I was also curious about the report, so I looked it up :) The temperature is a little higher as it goes down to the winter ice, so they gather there and live (written with a translator)
I don't know if anyone else wrote it.
it's good posting, cheer up ❤
You look so cute the time you put on the beanie! I think its made for you
안녕 한국에서 좋은 시간 보냇기를 바래요~~~
I prefer the classic Korean street toast (cabbage, ham, egg, sauce, pickle, mustard...). I hope you consider adding the prices. I am curious of the prices post covid. I know even street food has gone up quite a bit.
I know you are from Australia (a warm climate) and find it cold, but you do not want to visit Korea in summertime. It is crazy hot and humid.
Locals tend to go to 'Kyungdong' market in Jegidong rather than Kwangjang you've mentioned to avoid rip off's. Myeongdong also is touristy place. Hongdae might be better choice for the same stuff in less price. 'Myung' pancake is made of green gram matter.
19:15 fishes live in the water under the ice don’t worry
Also there is a guy named Danny Kang he own a wine bar in incheon korea the name of his wine bar is named Zaneuk please tell him Chansita told you.
Naver Maps is the go-to choice for Koreans, offering convenience for walking, locating shops, and navigating public transportation.
Thank you for this vid. UTube served it up and i devoured it. Having arrived in 2 countries mid winter- NY and Japan- I love a snood…and wear on all the ways u demonstrated. Made me laugh when Michael was modelling the diff ways to wear and alas I am guilty of wearing in all these ways. You have no shame when u are cold. Keep the vids coming- new follower from NZ
😂😂😂😂 thank you for the best comment I’ve read all day!! 😂😂
Haha I 100% got so jealous he had a snood. My neck was FREEZING. 😂
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you here! 😁😁🙏☺️
Its 32 degrees Fahrenheit... thats like light jacket weather. Lol. Its goes down to -17 Celsius in Korea.
How much was the coffee ☕️? And where did u stay?
Those big building for work does have their heating system as well, which is flooring heating method, the same as the bedrooms have.
Asia is more developed than Western Countries...
And safer. No weekly mass shootings here like US.
Come to Mongolia and you will change your mind 😂
Some are.
@@ftd7435if the government and demonkkkrats would stop then it's one of the safest
Just japan and korea tho..
You guys are funny 😂
And you made me miss South Korea 😅
'Naver map' is better than google map in korea.
your my favourite CZcamsr sister. love you
So interesting to hear other perspectives on Korean culture and local spots! Love it!
It always helps to keep warm by zipping up your jacket. It must be cold to bare your chest in minus 5degC. We come from scandinavia, so we know about keeping warm. ;)
I wouldn't recommend learning some basics Korean before going to korea though because it might be seen as mean for foreigner to come here and ask things in english and expect koreans to answer back in english or to understand you.
So glad to see travel is back for you! Don’t need to apologise to us at ALL, you have grown so much in just 2 years and I think none of us see how much work that is, so you’re entitled to a rest. But I am glad to see you back 😊😊😊😊
And I’ll sign back up for member soon I changed my bank card 😂
Ah Im so happy to see you guys in S Korea!! I went last November and LOVED it! It was cold when I was there but not nearly as cold as that!!!
Where are you from?
The weather looks nice.
To me, better than too hot.
서울투어를 하셨군요.
멋진 여행이 되셨었나요?
Nice video 😍
I hope you have a great time in Korea! :)
The fish is alive, it goes into a kind of hibernation.
Download Kakao map, Naver map or Daum map. They're like Google map of Korea
Hello! I enjoyed the video. I have a question. Which online shopping mall do you frequent?
좋은 여행이 되었길 바래요!!!! 당신에게 항상 행운이 넘치길!!!★

The ancestors of Korea made rice right that hole So the hot air makes inside warm it calls hanok(한옥)
I'm South Korean~ welcome to South Korea!

Hi from BRISBANE, Omg I love your channel I'm hoping to go to Korea one day. Im glad I found your channel coz then it feels easier to understand when you explain things only coz being in Australia...
In Korea, most coffee flavors are milky, so you should add a shot
Definitely good advice!! Haha
너무 추워보영ㅠㅠ
