  • A morning walk in Seoul, South Korea recorded shortly after arriving the night before. I set off in the neighbourhood I'm staying (Jongno) to find some breakfast.

    What I like about your videos is you show your surroundings most of the time unlike other travel vlogers, who show their faces maximum time.

    Jongno 3-ga... Literally throughout Seoul, the area is a typical old city center that most represented Seoul before the 21st century, and Tapgol Park, located nearby, is literally a sacred place for many grandfathers living in Seoul at this time.. It is the oldest neighborhood in Seoul and the neighborhood itself where the youth and vitality of the past have disappeared. Of course, no one can guarantee that much will change as early as 10 years, affected by the redevelopment boom everywhere

    Really looking forward to it, I love seeing the more central Seoul! There is an area about 25 mins (like a suburb) north of Seoul with the most peaceful beautiful homes and gardens. It is called Jeongbalsan Village in Ilsan Goyang. Maybe next trip you can see that area too. As for this trip, I am hoping you will be stopping in Japan too! Stay safe 😃 and Happy Easter! 🙏🐇

    When I lived in Korea, I had an office in the Jongno area.
    I live in Toronto now.
    It's very interesting that you went to a place I know.
    I love the roads I've traveled, the restaurants I've been to, the subways I've ridden.
    I recommend "Jongmyo" (the shrine of the kings of the Joseon Dynasty) and "GWANG-JANG" traditional market close to your place.
    Of course, Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung Palace are also nice.
    Have a safe and enjoy trip. Bye.

    Nice walk. Glad you got something good for breakfast. Thought you might end up at McDonald's. Congratulations on 89K.

  • @bfloguy716
    @bfloguy716 Před rokem +1

    Why do so many of the buildings there have a step or two at their entrances? It's the opposite of how we do it in North America where street level building entrances are level with the outside sidewalk to accommodate those who might be in a wheelchair. Are there occasional rainfalls there that flood the streets, so they have designed newer buildings to have their entrances raised above the level of the sidewalks?

    Nice tour looking for breakfast. What I don’t understand is if you speak the language, why not ask any locals where to have a nice meal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so envious that you can understand and read the language… looking forward for more of your videos.

  • @Neville60001

    Johnny, the next time you stay in a place like Seoul, if you need to have a a standard Western breakfast, _you need to stay in a Western-style hotel_ .

  • @williamlucas5852
    @williamlucas5852 Před 4 měsíci

    That shop that you had your kimchi jjigae breakfast is just next to the hotel which I'll be staying in Oct. Lol. From your vid, I see that some of the shops at the street (Supyo-ru), where my hotel is, have been changed and are different from what's shown in Google Street View. Tks for the vid. 👍

    The very likeness of Toronto and very much like Spadina Avenue, now we know why they feel so at home on Spadina.

    • @TheTroyc1982

      Little Koreatown is on Bloor between Bathurst and Christie and in North York City Centre, not Spadina

    How's the jet lag treating you? We went in 2019 for a friend's wedding. With the 13-hour time difference, we hardly slept and were exhausted come lunch time.

  • @elainenunes7955
    @elainenunes7955 Před rokem +1

    The city looks a little tightly packed with buildings a possiblibility for a serious fire hazard.

    • @hazelnut3794
      @hazelnut3794 Před rokem +1

      Yes, that is the Jongno area as he kindly explained in the video, which was the old city center itself that represented the 20th century or earlier of Seoul. Therefore, except for the business area adjacent to Cheonggyecheon Stream, many old buildings located in the rest of the neighborhood and relatively vulnerable to fire risk need to be grouped into one block and redeveloped at the same time.

  • @mreppen1

    I don’t see any homeless there.

    • @yvr2002rtw
      @yvr2002rtw Před rokem +3

      In Asia, those who are "homeless" tend to live on the couch at a friend's house or simply keep living with their parents, siblings and/or other relatives and not be homeless in the first place. Those who have nowhere to go tend to sleep in places like video game cafes etc. Homelessness in a North American sense is simply not part of the culture in Asia.

    • @onceuponacity
      @onceuponacity Před rokem +2

      I made that same observation too and found it curious. Homelessness is so prevalent in North America.

  • @lenniecalderon4350
    @lenniecalderon4350 Před rokem +1

    I guess most Koreans eat breakfast at home. So, food establishments open late. You should have tried a Convenient store

    • @JohnnyStrides
      @JohnnyStrides  Před rokem

      Why would I go to a convenience store when I walked past probably over 100 restaurants that were open?

  • @Aces77777

    No matter what you do, do not go to north Korea

      but what truly defines the boundaries of Toronto? how do we know for certain that his physical manifestation of his soul has truly left the city?

    • @missyogiebear

      Yep he left to go on a 'working' Holiday... not for good lol 😂

    What a lifeless city 😫 looks like a ghost town, café after café, what else this city has to offer, kind of depressing.

    • @JohnnyStrides
      @JohnnyStrides  Před rokem +1

      That's a pretty absurd observation. This was first thing in the morning in an older part of town.
      99% of western cities would be showing less life than this and have far less to offer.

    • @williamlucas5852
      @williamlucas5852 Před 4 měsíci

      That's early in the morning, mind you. What ghost town are you talking about ? Most cities, including the one you are, wouldn't be much livelier than this. Probably deader & ghostlier....lol.

  • @twiceseventeen

    Surprised that most people still wear masks!

    • @JohnnyStrides
      @JohnnyStrides  Před rokem +1

      They just lifted their mask mandates on April 1st... I think it will be like this for a while longer.

    Should have got McDonald's Big Breakfast .. it's excellent.

    • @Neville60001
      @Neville60001 Před rokem +1

      Robert, why should he buy that shite to eat in the morning?
      As I just said above, if he wanted/expected/expects to eat a Western-style breakfast, he has to eat at a Western-style hotel like a Holiday Inn ot Hilton.
