    Planning a trip to Seoul? We want to make sure you have an amazing time! So, we put together a travel guide with 9 things you must do on your first trip to Seoul - karaandnate.com/9-things-you-m...
    This ended up being one of our favorite days in Seoul! We squeezed so much into one day. First we visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace. It's massive and you could get lost exploring all day. It's popular to rent traditional dresses and take pictures in front of the detailed buildings which makes it a really fun place to walk around. The changing of the guards is also a super entertaining show to watch! Next we visited the picturesque village of Bukchon Hanok! And finally ended the night eating traditional Korean Fried Chicken at the park where all the local teens pitch tents and hang out all night!

    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig, and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
    We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on CZcams, such as: +Casey Neistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown, and any other talented travel vloggers that CZcams’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

    Hello Kara and Nate, part of the reason people dress up is that if you are the the hanbok (traditional outfit) you can enter some of the palaces around Seoul for free. REally enjoying your Korea series, my wife is from there so we go often.

  • @nicosummeruniverse

    Regarding the people wearing the traditional hanbok costumes: You might not have known but admission to all 5 of the palaces ( Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, Deoksugung, and Gyeonghuigung) is free to those wearing hanbok. Because the hanbok can be rented for such a low price, that may be why you see so many dressed that way
    TIP Hanbok rentals usually run 4hrs. and cost 13,000~15,000 won
