    The Shilin market from 2005 was absolutely amazing. It has gone downhill in the past 10 years unfortunately. I miss the original large tent with all the vendors! That was the 'food' night market, and the there was another one in Taipei we called the 'clothes' night market. That was back when Korean jeans were super popular and we'd hunt to find them and bargain with all the vendors. Best times.

      What a shame that things changed. What was the Raohe night market like back then? I’d feel a little better if that one was nonexistent and now has become something special. We had thought it was going to be such an incredible market, and we were disappointed to see that it seemed to be a shell of what it had been.

    Really good video, but I did find the loud music drowned out your commentary a little.I have just returned from a trip to Krakow and I HAD to visit Auschwitz. It is a truly terrifying thing to be standing in a place where such horrific crimes were committed against innocent people. I went on a guided tour which was good but if I visited again (which I hope to do soon as I had to cut my trip short) I would visit alone without a guide as a guided tour did not allow time to read everything. I found the sight of all the shoes, eye glasses, and suitcases so moving, also the photos of all the victims. Thank you for uploading, I enjoyed it.

Turned out My hotel room( apartment )was in the amphitheater ! Town was practically empty my first couple days (May 5,6,) then it got a little crowded with tourists /pilgrims - (no street food vendors - a lot of “bars”/cafes open) then they had their Renaissance festival that the locals participated in. I had a wonderful time it was so beautiful ! Rocca Maggiore gives you beautiful vistas over the town ! Can’t wait to go back to see San Damiano and a couple other spots thanks to your video …

But both had too much sweetness and were way too heavy for a day when we really were looking for salad! We are glad we tried it though!

    You will feel the night life in HongDae, Kangnam, Sungsu etc. Enjoy the trip. The last time I was there in 2003, and I need to plan to visit. Thanks and enjoy it.

      We typically are too much of wimps to be out much past 8 or 9pm! 😂 Although it sounds like Seoul is lively around the clock, we found it a much milder and pleasanter city compared to Tokyo. It was such an unexpected surprise compared to what we had read about it. We definitely want to return and explore more! We loved Busan as well and are glad we made time for both! -Judy 🎥 South Korea 🇰🇷 video series: ua-cam.com/play/PLNT98lWfwdF0f9CUrzAmPwQ8yzyJBHan7.html&si=vhBQX8rkLlVSJytX

    Welcome to Korea! one advice about Korean food..... If you eat Korean food not like the way Korean eat, you Can't feel its real flavor. I think this is very important for foreigner to enjoy Korean food. In this video you guys tried several good Korean food but I think you guys didn't feel real taste of Korean food because you guys didn't eat like the way Korean eat....

      What did we do wrong? Our Airbnb hosts gave us some tips and we tried to add some of the chili paste and other ingredients into our food and also ate banchan. We probably have a lot to learn. You might enjoy watching our video from Seoul as well if you haven't seen it (as well as our second video from Busan), all of which are linked below. Thanks for watching and we'd love to know your suggestions since we definitely want to return to South Korea! -Judy 🎥 South Korea 🇰🇷 video series: ua-cam.com/play/PLNT98lWfwdF0f9CUrzAmPwQ8yzyJBHan7.html&si=vhBQX8rkLlVSJytX

      The restaurant said what we ate was Korean noodles. We spent an entire month in Korea, and our Airbnb hosts invited us to their home and prepared a ton of food for us. Don't worry; we had plenty of Korean food during our time in South Korea. -Judy 🎥 South Korea 🇰🇷 video series: ua-cam.com/play/PLNT98lWfwdF0f9CUrzAmPwQ8yzyJBHan7.html&si=vhBQX8rkLlVSJytX

    I can’t tell you how often we mistakenly order too much food! Many dishes have been very large portion sizes but we didn’t know. We think in the US the portion sizes are big but other countries do too! Love the info in the video.

      Thanks so much for watching and for letting us know we aren't alone on this! The second time we visited Italy we decided we needed to try an appetizer as well as a primi and secondi. No, we didn't! And of course the waiter would always tell us that the pasta portion was small. No it wasn't! We have learned our lesson for the most part. My Italian tutor mentioned that even Italians want to feel like they get plenty of food for the price, but we don't need that much food, especially if we want to have dessert! We felt awful about leaving behind all that fried chicken, but there was no way we could eat it all and we didn't enjoy it enough to take it with us. I'd almost be willing to pay full price for half portions at restaurants or to have restaurants allow you to share a dish (but as we found in Taiwan, they really don't like you to do that!). -Judy

      This is good information. I can't imagine eating fried chicken *after* dinner, even if it's a late-night bite. Well, maybe I can ;) We aren't beer drinkers, but we still wanted to try a pub and have some of their chicken (the place we went definitely had a pub vibe and had locals, even though it was only around 4pm). We saw the table next to us get ONE of our dishes and share it amongst three grown men, so we definitely goofed. We should have realized from the price that we would be getting a huge meal. Thanks for watching! -Judy
