Because people in south korea and japan got actual respect for their environment. There are trashcans in germany and germany is still disgustingl unclean
I am living in Korea, my tip: public bathrooms, there are many, they always have rubbishbins. Inside the subwaystation are also often some (and inside the subwaystation is always a toilet as well so, that should work)
1.) Wastebins are in subway stations. 2.) Many elders improve their pension by collecting garbage from the streets in the morning 3.) You can return any trash at the shop you bought the item at, or when you buy something new ask if you can dispose your previous trash there
@@kathsmith4080What? Let them get free yoga classes while paying them better pensions… They’ve worked all their lives and should not have to pick up our trash to make ends meet…
@@barbarasieverding1754 I'm absolutely for free yoga. I didn't realize that was an option, or that you can't have both?! There was also no talk of making ends meet this way. It's a incentive to get these pensioners out of the house and into the community. If you show me proof that the government asks these pensioners to collect mountains of trash I will change my mind. I much prefer cleaning and being out and about than doing yoga and I see plenty of elderly people here in the UK cleaning litter but sadly it's not improving their pension. They also don't get free Yoga :(
We often put it in our own bags, or the street vendor may have a trash bin at their stall, so you can throw it there. You can also visit a public facility/park, and throw it over there.😊 (This is a summary, brace yourself if you would like to read my essay below😅). Also, welcome to Korea, Uyen! I hope you have a fantastic time in Korea! I do see you are in Seoul, but I do recommend going to other cities and places as well! Have a fun time with your boyfriend, and thank you so much for posting fun videos (they help me laugh when I am depressed with my Advanced Placement studies^^). Edit: I see a lot of debate, so I am going to elaborate. Firstly, most stalls do have their own trash bags. Secondly, public facilities, as in subway/ train stations and department stores, do have trash bins, and the parks often have a lot of trash bins, too. Thirdly, I don't know about other Koreans, but when I go to South Korea (I live in the US rn), I usually eat in a restaurant, rather than a stall, and because the inflation which made food prices more expensive than the past, people don't really eat outside. Although we (Koreans), also do want trash bins to be located more, I personally think it could cause some problems like in the past, and I honestly kind of like it. A nice walk to the trash can, with you showing responsibility for your trash. Also before comparing to other countries, you should see the environmental differences too. SK for example, don't have raccoons nor skunks in the open like the US, and the only animals that are often reported in the news is cats in the cities and water deers up in the North near the DMZ. The Korean government, for those who don't know, passed a law in 1995 when they found household and workplace trash in public trashcans, presumably to avoid spending a little bit of money (if i know correctly, you only pay when you buy the trash bag and the prices differ by place). Thus, the government started removing trash cans to stop this from reoccuring, and while it did have some side effects as in littering, most people do put the trash in the few remaining trash bins in the places mentioned above. Re-edit: You don't necessaruly have togo to a public bathroom. Korea is a country that you must recycle and separate trash by type. Most public trash cans are separated, such as general, paper, can, glass, and you put them in separate bins. General trash are like pet excretes, and whatever else that is not classified by the availiable types of bins. The streets remain clean by our sanitation workers (which I feel greatful for❤). Most products that are bought will say what they are, and which bin they should be put in, such as 일반 (general), 종이(paper), 캔(can), 알루미늄(aluminum), and 유리 (glass) as example. We also have a trash can for liquid! It'smostly used in cafes and restaurants, for drinks and ice. Hope you understood my explanation 🙂
@@jayshko when I was there I ate the food at the market because it's a nice area. And I struggle to walk and eat anyway. So yeah for the few minutes it took to eat the food I'd hang around there and hand it back. Not always, but most of the time

@@TheNoiseySpectator It's not, it means you generate double the amount of waste using little plastic bags to carry your trash around that you then need to throw away too because they've been contaminated by food residue and can't be reused.

You dont have to buy anything, you can just go in a konbini and use their trash can. Its always next to the entrance No one will ever reprimand you for that. Ive done it for years
Interesting, at least in Tokyo there are plenty of them, especially in parks. May have something to do, that japanese people don't eat while walking and if they eat on the go they mostly sit down in parks, so nearly no bins on the normal streets, while the trash from eating things in the park has to go somewhere, so that's why you find bins there.
sorry, I have to ask. People who smoke, where can trash their cigarettes ? Can you smoke, in Korea? In Italy we have little ashtray on the trash bins, or we use pocket ashtray.
@@antonellabantoohh yeah! There are some private smoking rooms if you want to smoke, in say a subway. But for these places, it’s generally not good an d not polite to smoke in the open. So people usually go to ends and corners of streets to smoke, and there are these little pots with sand in them to turn of the fire (usually located in the outside seats of CUs) so that you can dedicate your cigarettes!!!
Hi, I hope you enjoy Seoul as much as I do right now. I was so happy to recognize you and you bf at the palace (Gyeongbokgung) in Seoul yesterday and the seeing you again in the residencial area (Bukchon Hanok Village) later in the day.

Girl!! It seems you’ve been at Myeongdong (with the tanghulu)! There the streetfood sellers can usually take your trash after you finish so you don’t have to carry it everywhere! But as a fellow foreigner I understand I was so shocked for the first months here…..
I won't lie, I work as a cashier at a gas station in America and it lowkey pisses me off when there ARE trash cans by the door and all over the store for customers to throw trash away but they just flick their wrappers at me and go "can you toss that for me?" NO?! So I'd be mortified to ask the street vendors to toss my trash for me.
That’s very different! I get it because I used to work at the coffeeshop and people were doing the same thing. But a number of these guys actually have signs that say “give us your trash” so it’s ok. I guess they understand everything! And also this exact street I’m talking about is full of shops so probably they also understand that if you go to check out clothes with all these greasy and sticky cartons/sticks/napkins you’ll definitely have problems with shop owners.

I read/heard/saw something about walking around eating is not appropriate. So you sit or stand near where you bought it. Then you eat it and trash it when you are done. It was an Asian country, ashamed to say I don't remember which. Watching too many videos.
This is so interesting. I love that even with no public trash cans, littering still doesn’t seem to be a problem (or at least, not as much of a problem as it is in the US/other parts of the world). I hope we can adopt a similar practice where I live at some point in my lifetime.
I feel you! Either you carry your own trashbag in your backpack or you give back disposable items to the food vendors at the market and they will get rid of it or you :)
omg same! i’m also in michigan. i’ve gone to other states that have the separate trash & recycling bins & got so confused because it’s not something we have here, or at least common enough. and by confused i mean ‘oh crap did i just put that in the wrong bin?!? is that worker gonna yell at me?!?’ 😬
There are quite a few public trash cans where I live in Virginia, yet a-holes in my county are so self-centered they still prefer throwing their garbage on the ground or out of their vehicles rather than in a trash can. It's gotten so bad the county made littering a misdemeanor and those who are caught could be charged with a $2,500 fine. A sheriff's deputy also did an interview with a local news station in order to complain about the major littering problem and he encouraged people to take part in local litter clean-ups. Yet, it's still a problem 😔
It’s similar in Japan, most convenience stores like 7/11 have bins inside them, even if you aren’t buying anything from there it’s pretty commonplace for people to use the bin inside. In Japan it was standard for people to stand outside the store whilst they ate, throw away their rubbish inside, then walk after eating
In Japan, it is bad manners to throw away anything you didn't buy at the convenience store. It is also bad manners to eat while stand outside the store.
Had a part time job at a cvs in korea and this is considered weird and i will hate you if you bring in a ton of trash out of nowhere and mess up the bin schedule
Same thing in Taiwan! The explanation is: public trash cans just create more littering, when they're knocked over by animals or the wind, or when they're not regularly cleaned and it overflows, when people discard their trash mindlessly and it doesn't even fall in, and worst of all is when the trash is left there overnight and it attracts rats, cockroaches and other critters. Also it's harder to separate your trash and recycle properly if you're just throwing everything into the same public trash bin. It's better to bring this trash into your homes or establishments where the trash is not within reach to outside animals, is not contaminating the environment, ans where someone is responsible for separating and recycling it, and disposing of it regularly. The more you know!
@@Penny-mk7fv veeeeery spaced out you really have to look for them, having lived here many many years I can't count how many times I've just decided to stuff trash in my backpack and dispose it at home because I look around and can't find a bloody trash can. Of course if you really need it you go to a 711 or the metro. But like, just out and about, a random trash can? Raaaaaaaaaaaaaarely
I was just thinking that. Trash cans are only the solutions if they are being empty often, otherwise they overflow very fast on busy streets. I have seen too many overfilled bins that people end up putting the wrong types into the wrong slots, or trash just falling over onto the ground very quickly
In Korea, residents have to purchase special bags to put their household trash for it to be collected. If there were public trash bins then they would just throw their household trash in the public bins to avoid purchasing bags and it would quickly get out of hand.
Welcome to Korea! I love it here! I know your German boyfriend would probably hate this but you just go into any convenience store and they have trash cans that you can use or if you see trash bags on the street you can kind of just add it to the pile. That's what Koreans do it's kind of like a hidden rule
Ohhhhhh… Lol, international travelers, do not do this in the USA! Now that I type it, it feels ridiculous, but we’re very territorial about our trash, adding to someone else’s or using a large bin intended for a particular set of homes or businesses is not cool, esp in smaller cities & towns. People here get angry if can collectors (aluminum can be resold in many places) gather recycling from trash, even if they are very neat and tidy. I tried to leave our work empties easily accessible for the people who live in tents behind my work building, but my employer wasn’t happy about that idea.
@@montananerd8244Can confirm as an American lol idk why tf people here are so concerned about their trash. But territorial is an excellent word to describe it, bordering on aggressive at times
@@montananerd8244 the only thing I can say I'm "territorial" about is when dog walkers throw their poop bags in my can on trash day. The collectors only take what's in tied up garbage bags so they'll leave anything not in a bag in the can. So then you have dog 💩 sitting at the bottom of your can. I hate it!
I think the point of the robot-voice is for people who want to produce content in English but aren't confident enough in their language skills. Or simply for people who aren't confident enough to speak in front of camera. Not really a problem that Uyen has, so it doesn't really make sense for her to use it.
Mood. There’s one particular robot voice I will dislike and exit a video whenever it’s used. It’s got a nerdy spongebob sound to it and it really annoys me. Never knew a voice could send me into fight or flight immediately
Yes, you're right, I totally understand why some people might use it. But like you said, Uyen doesn't really need it, so it doesn't make sense in that way. Seems like it's some sort of 'fad' nowadays. I've seen some CZcamsrs, who speak English as their first language, use the robot voice in short videos.
@@bebepastiche9105omg same! I hate that voice so much, I was watching this one creator's service dog content when she started using it for her new in-training puppy and I ended up blocking her stuff entirely. I don't understand why people use it
This happened to us, too 😅 I heard it's because of the war with their sister country. There had been bombings where people placed the bombs in trashcans. So they ended up being dismantled.
"Not me making the same mistake", lol that face was so funny, I felt that. I have absolutely had to carry my garbage around for hours when I can't find a bin.
@@Mycopoks Exactly. Terrorists put explosives in public trash bins in London which led to the government of Japan to get rid of them. Now you have to go to a convenience store or the like to get rid of your rubbish. Similarly, parks have the same issue.
Check near bus stops. There's often one in there. Or go to a convenice store or a bathroom. But yeah, there aren't a lot of public rubbish bins because you have to pay for each bag individually. There are less public ones to discourage people from just taking all their home trash and shoving it in a public bin. Also also, the streets aren't that clean if you go off the tourist streets (: (Take it from someone who has lived in Seoul for 12 years lol)
I figured that out at work. If you don't have any garbage cans anywhere around except for one it's the only one they use and the rest of the shop stays clean
@@KenikoB Same in France. Most trashcans have disappeared from public spaces, or are transparent trashbags vaguely hanging on a metal circle, so that it's easy to identify whether there's a suspicious object inside.
Omg. We went to Korea too and I was flabbergasted! Did the same thing, carried my trash and my kids trash around with us. Eventually just started carrying around our own trash bag in our book bag.
I’ve seen the night life in Korea-In certain areas and it had trash all over the side walks. It’s clean because of the hard working people who probably get paid less to nothing to clean in. In the day time I’ve never seen trash but at night I’ve seen people litter.
I’m glad you guys held onto the rubbish instead of leaving it in the middle of the street! So many people in my country litter when there’s a bin metres away :(
I'm ur biggest Korean fan.. Omg it's amazing that u r in the same country as me. I don't think I'll be lucky enough to encounter u by chance.. But hope u have the best experiences here! It's the best time to travel right now-the weather is perfect!
Same in Japan! Usually, the shops that sell products where you end up having trash, have trash cans. You're not supposed to eat while standing/especially walking, so you're usually close to a space to get rid of the trash. Otherwise bathrooms.
Lol totally understand the struggle w the rubbish you can also try subway stations! they tend to have a bin around somewhere! i hope you have lots of fun during your visit😂😂😂
I feel you. Went there last month, garbage bin is really hard to find. Sometimes if you buy from a stall, just politely ask to dispose the trash for you as well
omg i notice this too and had the same problem 😭😭 just came back from Korea yesterday and to find dustbin is so hard there. yet their streets are clean. compare to my country, we have plenty dustbin, but the streets have rubbish everywhere 💀
This is like walking in Bangkok as well lol. No thrashbin, ended up carrying it for awhile. In the end, the streer vendor saw me and called me to throw it in his disposable bag 🤣
It’s the same in Japan. We always had a trash bag in our backpack for the trash and throw it away in the hotel room. But there were sometimes trash cans, like in smoking areas or at park entrances, where you also can throw you trash away … I think there were also trash cans in museums etc
Welcome to Korea!!! We have to pay to discard our rubbish so city ain't providing that for free 😅 always ask the vendor who you buy from to discard for you 😉
It was the same for me, but when moving to Germany. Looking for street bins for hours 😂 (well, long enough). Never thought I'd be missing rubbish bins 😅😂
It’s pretty much the same here in JPN. I throw stuff away at a convenient store (7-11, Family Mart, Lawson, etc.). As for plastic bottles and cans, there are usually receptacles to throw them away next to a drink vending machine. 🙂
" How could their street be so clean " I FEEL YOU !!!! 😭😭
Feels like around here we could have a trash bin every 3m and people still litter.

omg same! i’m also in michigan. i’ve gone to other states that have the separate trash & recycling bins & got so confused because it’s not something we have here, or at least common enough. and by confused i mean ‘oh crap did i just put that in the wrong bin?!? is that worker gonna yell at me?!?’ 😬
At least you can get money for your recyclables there in MI.
There are quite a few public trash cans where I live in Virginia, yet a-holes in my county are so self-centered they still prefer throwing their garbage on the ground or out of their vehicles rather than in a trash can. It's gotten so bad the county made littering a misdemeanor and those who are caught could be charged with a $2,500 fine. A sheriff's deputy also did an interview with a local news station in order to complain about the major littering problem and he encouraged people to take part in local litter clean-ups. Yet, it's still a problem 😔
@@thenovicenovelist Probably just need more folks to get fined and educate kids about it in schools. I think it helped in Texas.
It’s similar in Japan, most convenience stores like 7/11 have bins inside them, even if you aren’t buying anything from there it’s pretty commonplace for people to use the bin inside. In Japan it was standard for people to stand outside the store whilst they ate, throw away their rubbish inside, then walk after eating
In Japan, it is bad manners to throw away anything you didn't buy at the convenience store. It is also bad manners to eat while stand outside the store.
Had a part time job at a cvs in korea and this is considered weird and i will hate you if you bring in a ton of trash out of nowhere and mess up the bin schedule
@yyx7556
In Japan, its bad manners to do anything that doesn't look morbidly close to japanese
I ask my Japanese friends and they dont recommend you come to convenience store to throw away trash
@@forsooth Bringing in a ton of trash, sure, but chucking a single wrapper or something small? CU's underpaid staff will absolutely not care.
The clip of him tossing up his hands in the crowd really kills me for some reason 😂
yall are such precious beans
Same thing in Taiwan! The explanation is: public trash cans just create more littering, when they're knocked over by animals or the wind, or when they're not regularly cleaned and it overflows, when people discard their trash mindlessly and it doesn't even fall in, and worst of all is when the trash is left there overnight and it attracts rats, cockroaches and other critters. Also it's harder to separate your trash and recycle properly if you're just throwing everything into the same public trash bin. It's better to bring this trash into your homes or establishments where the trash is not within reach to outside animals, is not contaminating the environment, ans where someone is responsible for separating and recycling it, and disposing of it regularly. The more you know!
Taiwan does have public trash cans near and at street markets though.
@@Penny-mk7fv veeeeery spaced out you really have to look for them, having lived here many many years I can't count how many times I've just decided to stuff trash in my backpack and dispose it at home because I look around and can't find a bloody trash can. Of course if you really need it you go to a 711 or the metro. But like, just out and about, a random trash can? Raaaaaaaaaaaaaarely
But you could fix the trashcans into the ground so wild animals will not be able too push it over
I was just thinking that. Trash cans are only the solutions if they are being empty often, otherwise they overflow very fast on busy streets. I have seen too many overfilled bins that people end up putting the wrong types into the wrong slots, or trash just falling over onto the ground very quickly
In Korea, residents have to purchase special bags to put their household trash for it to be collected. If there were public trash bins then they would just throw their household trash in the public bins to avoid purchasing bags and it would quickly get out of hand.
Welcome to Korea! I love it here! I know your German boyfriend would probably hate this but you just go into any convenience store and they have trash cans that you can use or if you see trash bags on the street you can kind of just add it to the pile. That's what Koreans do it's kind of like a hidden rule
Ohhhhhh… Lol, international travelers, do not do this in the USA! Now that I type it, it feels ridiculous, but we’re very territorial about our trash, adding to someone else’s or using a large bin intended for a particular set of homes or businesses is not cool, esp in smaller cities & towns. People here get angry if can collectors (aluminum can be resold in many places) gather recycling from trash, even if they are very neat and tidy. I tried to leave our work empties easily accessible for the people who live in tents behind my work building, but my employer wasn’t happy about that idea.
@@montananerd8244Can confirm as an American lol idk why tf people here are so concerned about their trash. But territorial is an excellent word to describe it, bordering on aggressive at times
@@montananerd8244 the only thing I can say I'm "territorial" about is when dog walkers throw their poop bags in my can on trash day. The collectors only take what's in tied up garbage bags so they'll leave anything not in a bag in the can. So then you have dog 💩 sitting at the bottom of your can. I hate it!
"How are their streets so clean?"
I aslo thought the same
Man has got AT LEAST six pockets in those shorts TEL HIM TO USE THEM
🤣🤣
The clip with German fiancé 😂
Respect+++++ for carrying it around all day instead of throwing it on the street 🫡
well if you throw it on the street you'll definitely get stared at
Thank you for keeping me smiling,I really needed it today🙂
Oh You are in korea now!! Welcome to Korea and hope you have a great time ❤❤
Nooo, I hate that robot voice, why does everyone use it nowadays 😩
I thought someone stole the content and dubbed over it at first!
I think the point of the robot-voice is for people who want to produce content in English but aren't confident enough in their language skills. Or simply for people who aren't confident enough to speak in front of camera. Not really a problem that Uyen has, so it doesn't really make sense for her to use it.
Mood. There’s one particular robot voice I will dislike and exit a video whenever it’s used. It’s got a nerdy spongebob sound to it and it really annoys me. Never knew a voice could send me into fight or flight immediately
Yes, you're right, I totally understand why some people might use it. But like you said, Uyen doesn't really need it, so it doesn't make sense in that way. Seems like it's some sort of 'fad' nowadays. I've seen some CZcamsrs, who speak English as their first language, use the robot voice in short videos.
@@bebepastiche9105omg same! I hate that voice so much, I was watching this one creator's service dog content when she started using it for her new in-training puppy and I ended up blocking her stuff entirely. I don't understand why people use it
Remember to report the bots y'all!
It's a fulltime job these days...
that is also botwork.
Why? CZcams obviously ignoring the problem.... Censoring real people they do, deleting bots that are pornographic they don't.
what bots
This happened to us, too 😅 I heard it's because of the war with their sister country. There had been bombings where people placed the bombs in trashcans. So they ended up being dismantled.
"Not me making the same mistake", lol that face was so funny, I felt that.
I have absolutely had to carry my garbage around for hours when I can't find a bin.
I think stores like 7-Eleven have public bins? From what I remember
Al i wanna say is, German Bf looks very nice and hopefully one day he feels comfortable to show his face on cam. No rush tho!
The shot of BF standing with his trash and shrugging is really adorable for some reason
Meanwhile my country people using street as garbage bin🙂
Ok but why does he have a Ditsch bag?
Is there Ditsch in Korea aswell?
Maybe his suitcase is full of pretzels. For emergencies. 😂
It's a collectable
This is why I bought a clear fanny pack for travel. If I can’t find a trash can easily, I have something my trash goes in
But, what do you do with your fanny pack if you can't find one and it gets full before you return to your room? 😟
When I was there I found best place is by public transport, bus stops are quite good but stations always have them!
when individuals do their part and practice being considerate.
That is common here in Japan as well. It started with the terror attacks in London
?
How is this comment related to literally any subject in the world
@@3zObafouzras far as I remember, terrorists put an explosive in public trash bin
@@Mycopoks
Exactly. Terrorists put explosives in public trash bins in London which led to the government of Japan to get rid of them. Now you have to go to a convenience store or the like to get rid of your rubbish. Similarly, parks have the same issue.
@@xProtyx It wasn't London butthe 1995 sarin attack on the Tokyo Metro by a crazy cult that prompted the removal.
Check near bus stops. There's often one in there. Or go to a convenice store or a bathroom. But yeah, there aren't a lot of public rubbish bins because you have to pay for each bag individually.
There are less public ones to discourage people from just taking all their home trash and shoving it in a public bin.
Also also, the streets aren't that clean if you go off the tourist streets (:
(Take it from someone who has lived in Seoul for 12 years lol)
The amount of bots saying inappropriate things 💀
Report them. It’s the only way.
I haven’t seen any
I even took pictures when I found a trashbin on the street, I still have it with the caption "rare creature in it's natural habitat" xD
I figured that out at work. If you don't have any garbage cans anywhere around except for one it's the only one they use and the rest of the shop stays clean
Yes, but I bet the place you work is not the size of a city 🏙️.
@@TheNoiseySpectator but if you strictly enforce littering and have no garbage cans nobody makes a mess
I'm Korean and i've been following your channel for a while now😝Glad you came to South Korea!!
That's just bad City planning
Idk about South Korea, but in Japan they actually removed the bins on purpose to prevent terrorist attacks after one used them
@@KenikoB ...what?
@@KenikoB Same in France. Most trashcans have disappeared from public spaces, or are transparent trashbags vaguely hanging on a metal circle, so that it's easy to identify whether there's a suspicious object inside.
@@monopolizedopamine gonna need more detail than "what". If you've got a question, ask it.
@@monopolizedopamine a cult attacked a subway station using sarin gas in the 90s and iirc they hid the gas in a rubbish bin
Same with Japan! But there are always some in the parks. Hope you enjoy your trip Uyen❤
That's the exact reason why everything is so clean.
ohhhh welcome to Korea❤️ Hope you have a great time here!!
Omg you're in Korea!🎉
Welcome to Korea Uyen!!! Wish I can just randomly stumble upon you 😊
Girl I feel the same! When I went to South Korea I was looking for a trash can for blocks and blocks 😂😂
Ohhhh welcome to korea!
Go to a restroom! There’s usually a bin there
종이접시 들고 “실수다!!” 같은 표정으로 서있는거 웃겨ㅋㅋㅋ
Omg. We went to Korea too and I was flabbergasted! Did the same thing, carried my trash and my kids trash around with us. Eventually just started carrying around our own trash bag in our book bag.
omg I would love to bump into you guys😭😭 wish you have a great time!!!
I’ve seen the night life in Korea-In certain areas and it had trash all over the side walks. It’s clean because of the hard working people who probably get paid less to nothing to clean in. In the day time I’ve never seen trash but at night I’ve seen people litter.
I’m glad you guys held onto the rubbish instead of leaving it in the middle of the street! So many people in my country litter when there’s a bin metres away :(
oh, you're in Korea at the moment! I'm super glad to see you walking around my home country. I hope you and your fiance have a great great time!❤
Same in Switzerland. They have just a few public rubbish cans
wow you're in Korea! I hope you have a great time here and enjoy your trip :)
lol German bf looking around like "seriously?"
That was the tiniest trashcan ever!😂
I'm ur biggest Korean fan.. Omg it's amazing that u r in the same country as me. I don't think I'll be lucky enough to encounter u by chance.. But hope u have the best experiences here! It's the best time to travel right now-the weather is perfect!
Yup. Japan too😅 lived there for 3 years and you learn to adapt quick. It makes the streets look clean to be honest.
Same in taiwan! Your only resorts to dispose the trash are convenient stores and public toilets in the metro stations
Same in Japan! Usually, the shops that sell products where you end up having trash, have trash cans. You're not supposed to eat while standing/especially walking, so you're usually close to a space to get rid of the trash. Otherwise bathrooms.
Omgg please publish a full video from Korea ❤️
Lol totally understand the struggle w the rubbish you can also try subway stations! they tend to have a bin around somewhere! i hope you have lots of fun during your visit😂😂😂
Same in japan. We were also carrying our trash everywhere.😂
I feel you. Went there last month, garbage bin is really hard to find. Sometimes if you buy from a stall, just politely ask to dispose the trash for you as well
It’s so true. It drives me crazy when I am there. Where do people throw out their trash!
Oh my gosh, I can't believe you're in Korea! It's nice you went to an area that was cleaner. Some places have so much litter 😭
Huge shout out for caring about the environment.😊
omg i notice this too and had the same problem 😭😭 just came back from Korea yesterday and to find dustbin is so hard there. yet their streets are clean. compare to my country, we have plenty dustbin, but the streets have rubbish everywhere 💀
U should crochet a bubble skincare container ❤
This is like walking in Bangkok as well lol. No thrashbin, ended up carrying it for awhile. In the end, the streer vendor saw me and called me to throw it in his disposable bag 🤣
That's WHY their streets are so clean. You're expected to get rid of waste right away or hold on to it until you can dispose of it properly.
Keep a trash sack handy! ☺️ I usually stash a used shopping bag somewhere on my person (usually in my car.)
Have a lovely time girl! ❤
It’s the same in Japan. We always had a trash bag in our backpack for the trash and throw it away in the hotel room. But there were sometimes trash cans, like in smoking areas or at park entrances, where you also can throw you trash away … I think there were also trash cans in museums etc
Nice to see they're super clean
How is this possible? I would go nuts if I couldn’t throw my rubbish away.
As a Korean, I also find it difficult to find a trash can, so I throw it away in the subway trash can😂😂
10 years I've been in South Korea and I'm not surprised this didn't change... have a good time still! I can't wait to go back next year 😁
Welcome to Korea!!! We have to pay to discard our rubbish so city ain't providing that for free 😅 always ask the vendor who you buy from to discard for you 😉
It was the same for me, but when moving to Germany. Looking for street bins for hours 😂 (well, long enough). Never thought I'd be missing rubbish bins 😅😂
It’s pretty much the same here in JPN. I throw stuff away at a convenient store (7-11, Family Mart, Lawson, etc.). As for plastic bottles and cans, there are usually receptacles to throw them away next to a drink vending machine. 🙂
Come to Gwangju!! It's beautiful around here!!
