    Thanks. This was so helpful and you gave tips that we don’t often get. A friend was touring Seoul and a man approached her and wanted to marry her. Since she is already married she laughed at it but now I wonder if it was a cult. Good to be aware while we enjoy your beautiful country.

    Very helpful information. I started planning my trip to South Korea two years before I went. I studied everything! My daughters and I had so much fun! No problems at all! You just need to prepare and join travel sights! That’s how I discovered you Dan!

    Luckily when I went to Seoul, all of the restaurants I went to did allow me to dine alone. I absolutely do not know anyone in Seoul so it would have been a problem otherwise. Although I guess in Seoul there are so many restaurants and finding another restaurant will not be a problem. I also used Naver Map and it really was good especially for finding out which train or bus to use from point A to B. But its usage is a bit difficult if one doesn‘t know any Korean. I fortunately know some Korean so it was okay. The supermarket tip will be helpful when I go visit Korea again! Cheers!

    I just visited for 14 days trip, I love Korea and Korean people very much and I still do, The one thing I am disappointed with is, Korean people don't smiles I don't know the reason behind this , I was so excited to visit Korea and meet Korean people but nobody smiles back at you , I hope and wish Korean people smile more when someone smiles at them, I love everything about Korea and Koreans very very much ❤❤❤

    • @SKULLkidDEATHOMATIC

      Smiling at strangers is only a social norm in some countries. In some, it's considered super weird. My friends that went to Russia to study were told it was super weird and creepy that they smiled so much.

    This is really great Dan, thanks!! I especially loved the late night snack video 😁 what a great tip. Plus i think it’s nice stores do that to save foods instead of just throwing them away. Also it’s nice if maybe you’re on a budget whether a resident or a tourist you could benefit from that. The money card that was also very useful as a person who has travelled its good to know these things. When we travelled to England, France and Italy we bought a Euro Pass for the train it saved us a lot. And i believe England had something for their underground, I’m thinking most places you can buy passes for transportation. If I’m ever fortunate enough to travel to Korea i will watch this again as well as your other video because you had other information in that one. Thanks great video. Not sure where you’re travelling next but i look forward to it 😁. Have a great day or evening time zones are not my specialty.

    Thank you for these helpful tips. I am visiting this year. Preparing myself to keep social interations with Koreans to a minimum (mostly hotel staff or checking out at a store and/or restaurant). Avoid/ignore those who try to socialize or approach us with love bombing or asking for directions. It will be a very interesting trip. Glad I have someone to travel with!

    Hi Dan, I just discovered your channel and I’m hooked..lol..Such a refreshing and thoughtful advice .
    I’ve lived in Seoul for a long time, my husband and I raised our kids in Seoul. We went back to Sydney back in 2008. I Love your channel. I was laughing at all the tips you discussed at how accurate it was.I remembered seeing the cults ladies in Itaewon long time ago.. Luckily for my family, my husband company provided us with English speaking drivers, so we were never exposed to most of the things you said…
    Love your work ..Keep it going.
    Love from Australia.

Looking forward to that and the food 😊

    Visiting Korea is on my bucket list and hopefully it will happen within the next few years. These tips will be extremely helpful. And I will be sure to visit Zaneuk and hopefully get to meet you. Regarding your aura: I don't know much about this, but I would say you have a combination blue-green aura; you seem to have an inner light that radiates positive, uplifting energy that affects those around you and makes them feel good.

    Your videos on „How to…“ in Korea are always enjoyable, very useful, and just fun to watch! Thank you for making them, Danny! 👏🙏😊 Love your hoodie and your smiles extra in this one. 🥰 Your Aura does stand out, that`s just who you are and how it is, just stating facts. 😉😁 I personally find it great that stores in Korea are open until very late, especially the 24h ones. Did I get it right that there are enough stores open 24h?😅 Because here in Austria you`re practically screwed from a certain hour on, weekdays mostly around 8pm, Saturdays even earlier around 6pm AND also Sundays closed all day. 😂

    Simple, and yet so essential to our lives 🤗 thanks a million for these thoughtful tips🙏 it comes from experience, best tips even if they sound “so wear”, strange: they are so meaningful. Such is the case of places were they do not serve one person. That’s so important when it comes to eating out.
