With long padded coat, fur cap, fur muffler and mask can feel warm in cold winter in korea.

Boring is better than dangerous. So I’ll take it😂

Travel to Tuvalu

Sounds like there really isn't a bad time to visit Seoul... Also doesn't look as crowded as I would expect. Merry Christmas, Francois!!

❤❤❤

You are a fantastic ambassador for showcasing the best of the Korea to the world. I sincerely appreciate it and I enjoy your vlogs. Keep up the great work!! 🙌

They have their pitfalls when booking especially when you book on your default membership. If you do not go back in to edit and check everything you could end up paying more than you wanted. Seems like a big scam that was put there intentionally. Because reading on forums it happens quite a lot.

toooooo cold🥶🥶🥶🥶

Cold is good. I like cold 🥶

I remember on really cold days I'd buy some 핫팩 from GS25 to put in my gloves ;). @francoismarc3 I'm curious, does the air quality in Seoul ever bother you in Winter or Spring?

Starbucks is Christmas is so Korea 🎄

Brother, I am very impressed with all your knowledge of winter travel in Korea with so many wonderful places you have recommended here in this video. I think I have been to most of the places that you have mentioned and they are all fantastic like you said. But I am not going to lie, as you said, winter is freezing here in Korea, so I prefer to stay indoors like at Lotte Shopping Mall in Chamsil, and at Coex in SamSung Dong. However, when I was younger, I used to go skiing a lot in Korea in winter. Some of the places that I have been to and highly recommend are Bears Town Ski Resort in Chuncheon, Elysian in Gangchon, Alpensia Ski Resort in Pyeongchang and Yongpyong Ski Resort in Daegwallyeongn. If you really want to indulge in the winter experience and feel what winter is like in Korea, I can't think of any better place than a ski resort in Korea. Even though Korea is a very small country, it has some amazing ski resorts. I promise you will not be disappointed. Just imagine the adrenaline and just being out on a beautiful nature, skiing down the slope. It is simply breathtaking!! You will love it!! I still remember all the fond memories of skiing when I first came to Korea twenty years ago because I am from the South in the U.S. and we don't get much snow there so there are virtually no ski resorts. I really had a blast!! Francois, have you thought about skiing this winter in Korea? or are you not much of a skier? As always, peace brother!! Great job with your video today!! See you!!

I love living and traveling in Korea, especially during the winter. Many folks have asked me if Korea is worth traveling during the winter, I hope this video can help you decide!

Beautiful library! Enjoy the holidays, Francois! ✌🏻

14:19 is a government Building and you cannot go in there

Francois, have you been to this? "Seoul’s 2024 Gwanghwamun Market Transforms Gwanghwamun Square into Santa Village, Offering Festive Magic and Christmas Cheer in South Korea" I just saw an article about it. They have a floating lantern festival too. It's still going on. I hope you visit it. I would love to see what that's like. Merry Christmas Francois. It's Christmas morning where I'm at. Thank you for all your insights into SK. They are so much appreciated. You have a beautiful soul. No pun intended.

You make wiser decisions Francois. SK is fortunate to have expats like you.. And so are we

I'd rather be stressed out sometimes in Korea compared to being miserable in NYC. I'm moving to Korea in 2025

I am Korean, I love the vast grasslands of Mongolia. The scenery is very beautiful

Damn no one corrected/told you on how to pronounce Vientiane 😆🤦🏻‍♂️

There are UA-cam videos of Chinese international students participating in the protest. There are Chinese students on stage making speeches against the president of KOREA. And there was a vlog of a Chinese woman who flew to Korea to participate in the protest. I mean.. They blend in perfectly, especially if they spoke Korean. (UA-cam erased my last comment.) 😂 I always wonder what would happen if Koreans were caught protesting in one of anti state protests in China. It seems like there is no active law to punish Chinese from intervening Korean politics, which I find very problematic. (Hope this comment doesn't get erased this time.)

₮9,000.0 is roughly $2.65 USD - that's insane. You were walking around with basically $3 😂😂😂

Thats gotta be Cap cuz! Cant be your first time there, lol.

Although I'm a European-American, I agree with you on all points. I've been here in Korea since 1995 or so, and it seems the 'home' is getting more and more mean spirited. Korean is a sensible and safe country to live in. I've had a couple of guys confront me and offer violence, but it was only two times in more than 20 years, and neither was dangerous or life-threatening as might have happened back home. The Korean paper just said there's more than a million foreigners here in Korea-- a lot in factories and mining, but still that's a very high level. A strong vote of confidence. It's a good place to be.

Most of the books are fake, just covers. There are more in every Polish school library. I enjoyed the beauty of the place, but there was nowhere to sit. Everyone wanted to take a picture, because this place looks good on camera and on Instagram. But in reality there is nothing to do there. Lots of people, little space. Another nice library is in Suwon. Similar. Lots of covers, a place to take pictures and that's it.

Amazing how small it is. A much more interesting attraction is the aquarium with dolphins and sharks swimming overhead, which is located next door. Literally.

new trend started in in America.It came from Korea. So many Americans women are coming to Korea to learn new trend..

Comment for the algorithm

Dang, that place is incredible... Seems like Christmas is definitely the best time to visit too! (Now you need to go back with your camera!)

This is why I always take what the media says with a grain of salt. I always rather see things with my own eyes than be dictated by what narratives they make people believe. Glad things are going as is usual. Always be safe brother

so are those books that are really high on those tall bookshelves accessible or just there for decoration?

This type of Mongolian wrestling is called Bokh

It’s the small, simple things that add value to our lives. So nice to see you appreciating a lot of things that bring a smile to your face, Francois ✌🏻

11:06 "the universe understands...like cheering up" 🙂👍 긍정적인 태도와 항상 웃는 모습, 그리고 생각 표현을 잘 하시는 것 같아요. 즐겁게 보고 있습니다. 행복한 연말 되세요!

Brother, even though I love living in Korea, especially in Seoul, watching this video today brings back so many wonderful past memories of Christmas in the U.S. growing up. A celebration of joy and togetherness with families coming together, sharing delicious meals, exchanging festive gifts beneath twinkling lights, visiting local malls in Buckhead in Atlanta, listening to Christmas carols, etc. I still could never forget the excitement and joy of opening my Christmas gifts on Christmas day when I was a young boy. As a matter of fact, I could not sleep before Christmas thinking about the gifts that I was about to get. I love the Christmas holiday in the U.S. and the traditions!!! So many great memories. I am sure you know what I am talking about Francois you as an American grown up there. It is just not the same here in Korea!!! As always, peace brother, and I wish you a joyful trip today wherever you may be visiting!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! See you~~

This place is so beautiful, I was here in December 2023 , I was amazed

안녕하세요? Francois Marc님 스타필드 도서관을 멋지게 소개해주셨네요.도서관 오른쪽옆으로 조금가면 Exhivation Convention Hall 이 있는데 매년9월에 국제적인 미술행사인 Frieze Seoul과 KIAF Seoul 이 열린답니다.저는 화가인데 올해도그 행사에 참가하다보니 스타필드 도서관앞을 자주 지나갑니다. 2025년에도 9월3일부터 7일까지 열리니 기억하셨다가 세계적인 행사소식도 영상으로 담아보세요!!감사합니다. Merry Christmas!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤ Merry Christmas!! May you and everyone in your life have a wonderful 2025!

Whoa, Starfield! I want Todd Howard to come here to see this!

잘봤습니다~~!!

Wow, I can't believe I have lived in Korea for 14 years and never spent significant time here at Starfield Library! During the Christmas season, the lights were so nice! Is this a place you would like to visit on your trip to Seoul? I think it's worth a visit!

you haven't mentioned ducking around people taking selfies in front on x-mas decorations

Wow... actually Itaewon is the worst place to live in Seoul hahaha.... Very dirty... I will try Insadong or Yeongsan.

you are doing great. keep making good content

좋아〜😊韓国の生活、憧れます〜。でも冬は東京よりとっても寒いですよね☃🌨 もし寒さに疲れたら日本にもお越しください。日本の生活もなかなか愉しいと思います。

Sending you hugs, Francois.

I think you meant immigrant.
