    사실 대부분의 한국인들은 명동 길거리 음식을 사먹지 않습니다..길거리 음식을 파는 알바생들은 대부분 중국인들이고 팔고있는 음식 또한 생소합니다..! 그리고 외국인들을 상대로 팔고있어서 가격이 매우 비쌉니다..명동 길거리 음식을 추천하지 않아요..!😂

      "In Fact, Local Korean people do not purchase Street food in Myeong Dong. People who operate/sell there, majority of them are Chinese Workers and the foods are not really Korean Food. The prices are also a lot higher than normal because of foreign tourists who will pay for it to try. I do not recommend Street Food in Myeong Dong Area".

      It's not all sunshine and rainbows though...yes the technology is great but there's more to life than that. It's the number one country for suicide...so not everything is great in Korea. Because you're a foreigner and not an actual Korean, you see/experience Korea differently.

      @SunnySage122 Před 7 měsíci +262

      @@Dima-xu2qw I understand your viewpoint. I agree that Koreans don't place the same expectations upon foreigners as they do upon other Koreans, so yes, that can cause both experiences to be different. As an American, I feel the same when people from other countries talk about how much they want to live in the U.S. because they love the show "Friends." Having lived in other countries outside of the U.S., I often feel so disappointed with how things are here, such as the gun violence, the woke politics, the health care system, and lack of safety. Gun violence is a big problem in America. The gun violence problem in America probably parallels the suicide problem in Korea. No country is perfect. America works for some and not others; same as Korea. I know many Koreans who've left Korea for their own personal reasons and that's okay. I think the goal is to live where we feel we can thrive best.

    As an African American, I absolutely love South Korea. I don't understand how some of my people were a victim to racism? I personally haven't experienced any scrutiny or racism in Korea. It's an absolutely beautiful country and I really want to live there one day. An absolute dream city. I stayed a few nights in Gangnam-Daero which was my most memorable experience. The night life, the people, the aesthetics the FOOOD (oh my god the food) and the atmosphere was something out of a movie, very futuristic and gives cyberpunk vibes. They live in a completely different universe compared to here in America. I love Sotuth Korea so much!!!

      Most examples of racism cases I heard from foreign tourists are in fact not racism but misunderstanding the manners of Koreans. Of course there is racism in Korea, but it is subtle and it may happen at specific situations 😢
      some Koreans, especially older people, have rough manners (when they talk or act), and foreigners tend to interpret the rude behavior as racism, but I can tell those rude people are just rude people and behave that mean way even to Koreans. A lot of times they don’t even know their behavior is rude. 😅

      As a Korean, there are always many people who claim to have been racist in Korea when they watch overseas CZcams.
      But if there is racism in Korea, it will be in the news. There is no claim of racism, and he always uses videos provokingly just as a victim. I think that's also a problem.

    11:47 that passerby stepping in out of nowhere to help you without you even asking for help is what I love about traveling to Korea. Their general attitude towards foreigners is more welcoming and open than other East Asian countries in my experience. Also, Korea, like Japan, does not have trash bins out in public. Best practice is to carry a small plastic bag with you to collect your day's trash and sort it properly when you get home.

      because Japan has govt owned subways and private company owned subways. It can be fucking expensive when you use private lines. Korean subway is pretty much flat fee. it takes 2 min for each station. So you know it will take 20 min for 10 stations. I'v never experienced a delay in my life because if it happens, it would be a national news and I bet employees will get fucked big time. Oh did I tell you it's a great place to fucking SLEEP? It's very chill during summer and very warm during winter. Everybody fucking sleeps. It's a magic you somehow wake up right before you have to get off! In other countries, people can't understand this concept like a caveman looking at the smartphone. They think I am lying if I talk about this WHY???? because in their country, people get robbed for sure if you sleep in the subway!

    So far I have found three places that I know where my father had been. This Cathedral is one them, and Namsan Hill.
    My father never talked about his time in Korea and sadly has passed.
    My plan now is continue to research and find the locations of my father's pictures. Then in Sept 2025, with my son, we will walk in my father's foot prints to re-create the same pictures that he took over 70 years ago.

Koreans go out their way to make sure you feel welcome and have a good time. Always an amazing atmosphere wherever you are in the city.

    Koreans don't go to Myeongdong because the street food is expensive and not tasty, but it makes me sad that foreigners pay a lot of money to eat food in Myeongdong. enjoy your trip. Your video is fun and worth watching. I love your travel stories.

      Many Korean go to Myeongdong too.
      Myeongdong is the 9th most expensive area in the world and is a tourist destination Myeongdong street food is a little more expensive than other parts of Korea on average, but there are many kinds of street food and it is delicious

      I am going to Korea next year and I am BTS Army too!. I haven't been to Korea so many years that Korea is almost a foreign country for me now. You should stay out of Myeongdong area like most of foreigners do often make a mistake to visit. Locals don't go there at all cause foods overrated, very crowded, and much more expensive.
      Hopefully you can have a opportunity to visit hometown of BTS soon. Not only staying in Seoul, recommend to visit Busan - hometown of Jimin & JK, Jeonju - mecca of foodies in S.Korea, Gangneung- in which "The famous bus station from the MV Spring day".

Sejong the Great had the script created specifically to make reading easier and replace chinese characters. Of course, you won't know what the words mean, but a lot of korean words come from english so you might understand more than you think! I highly recommend watching some youtube videos that teach you how to read this beautiful script.

    Someone may have already said it, but the chicken dish you got had rice cakes, not cheese. It's my favorite Korean street food. Sooo good! Beware, anything covered in red sauce is spicy, haha. There's this amazing place in Bundang (just slightly outside of Seoul) that is my favorite Korean fried chicken ever...but it's in my old neighborhood and kind of hard to direct you to. I'm not even sure that she survived the pandemic. But I'd be happy to tell you the address if you were interested. Edit: For anyone interested it's 봉킨 버거 in 정자 분당구 (Bongkin Burger -and chicken - in Jeonga, Bundang. This is on the red line about 15 minutes outside of Seoul. It's in the older neighborhoods on the other side of the river. Or at least it was. I haven't been back to Korea since 2019. I'll be heading back in the Spring and will see if it's still there at that point.)

    Hi Zane, welcome to Korea! During sunset or at night, visit DDP first and walk all the way up north to Naksan Park, following the Seoul fortress wall, leaving Heunginjimun (Dongdaemun, one of the eight gates of Seoul) behind. It's a beautiful and romantic place, which I highly recommend to try at night. Walk all the way to the observation deck 2 and descend towards Hyehwa-dong to get dinner and take subway. This is a very easy trail. Hope you enjoy. I love your videos!
    I believe what sets Seoul apart from other cities is its beautiful surrounding mountains, combined with the ease of access to them.
    Another hiking trail I highly recommend takes you to the summit of Inwangsan, following the path of the Seoul fortress wall (again^^). Along this trail, you'll be treated to a nice view of the cityscape and the opportunity to experience a bit of mountain hiking that Koreans love to do. Plan your hike during the daytime. I think the autumn season, with its clear skies, offers the ideal conditions to appreciate the natural beauty of Seoul. You can start the walk from the exit 3 of Dongnimmun subway station.
    Another suggestion is a visit to Seoul Sky, which is the tallest observatory in Korea. You may think it is just one of touristy places, but it's not! During the autumn season, when the skies are clear and visibility is at its best, it's a must-see destination! (If skies are gloomy and foggy, don't go) Make sure to visit during the daytime. And don't forget to take a stroll around Seokchon Lake at night. It's right next to Seoul Sky.
