The taxi drivers were saying they couldn’t take you there because they aren’t allowed to enter the fireworks area because the roads going there had been closed to taxis.
Thanks for this! Exactly what we thought he said :)
10:30 The taxi driver said: Because of the fireworks festival, vehicle entry is controlled, so I can't go there.
Thanks so much! That’s exactly what we thought he said 😊
Wow glad that you are safe. First we thought it was Itaewon area. If the firework crowd is like that then I can’t imagine how big was Halloween crowd. We enjoy your videos. Very informative 🔥🤛🏻
Thanks guys! And yes we were thinking the same thing!! 😞
At the Fireworks Festival, you cannot get near the Fireworks Festival because the police are controlling the vehicles. said the taxi driver. It's not about denying boarding. Please don't misunderstand.
Thanks for this! :)!
Thank God there's no stampede or whatsoever during that time 🙏 people who are planning to visit now have an idea what to expect. Thank you for sharing! That was fun ❤️
Yes we were thankful! Glad everyone was safe that night! Thanks for watching ❤️
Thanks God everyone was safe on that event🙏🙏Too many people😮😮
That library was pretty awesome. Loved the fireworks.....So pretty!
😄
he said he cant bc the area banned taxis due to the firework
Yea thats exactly what we thought he said! ☺️ thanks for this!
The music choice are awesome!! Good job guys, amazing video as always
Thank you Paul :)
Wow the library is sooo nice literally just like the k dramas 😍 glad you enjoyed the fireworks and are safe 💖
You guys would love it! Cant wait for yall to visit Korea too ❤️ mis u guys!
Those waffles look so yummy!!!
They were delicious 😄😁
Really great video, and I fell in love with Korea. Through this video, it's the first time I've seen a wonderful video of Korea
Thankyou so much! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Way too many people for me to be around Jan and Ann it makes me feel claustrophobic and paranoid just by watching it I would just stay at a hotel at the top to see fireworks like that food looks good I'm going to eat to 😋😋🆒🆒👍👍😎😎
I think thats a better idea hehe! We had no idea their was going to be that many people!
love the story telling in this one guys great job!
Thank you guys ❤️
Waffles, almost like the Beaver Tail concept… Toronto use to have during the summer fireworks festival for a month. Different countries every weekend would display their fireworks show accompanied by music. Great idea to leave early. That’s crazy busy.
That library is a vibeeee 😍 I don’t read either tho but wow!
Actually so nuts how busy the city got during the fireworks, keen to see more guys 😄
- c
It was bro! Soo futuristic looking lol
Hala! Stay away from too crowded places! No matter what the event is! Take care po stay safe as well from Covid19 meron p po 'yan!!! Just a friendly reminder😇😇...
Yes of course! We honestly didn’t expect it to be that crowded thats why we left early as well 🥹 thank you ❤️
Lol covid
4:35 😂😂😂. Great video made me laugh! Love seeing these travel videos thank you!
Thanks for the kind feedback 😄
So in Korea, the way to get on a taxi has changed. You can use taxi apps or near the bus stop, there are places where taxis stop. If you try to stop cab, they don't stop because it increases traffic on the road. Also, the taxi driver said, driving to the fireworks place is restricted. I'm happy to see that you guys enjoyed the fireworks festival!
Thankyou for this ❤️
Bro i just finished watching all your videos, cant wait for the next upload! keep safe travel more!
Thank you!! New vlog is live by the way :)
@@JanandAnn Great! Power on guys!
I'm korean and your video is very interesting and well made. thanks for visiting korea . wish you guys good luck.! Thumbs up.
Thank you so much ❤️
Damn, look at all those people in a library. In the US you hear crickets.😁
Those fireworks were amazing.
Since this video made it, you guys did too.
Haha😅 and thank you!
Cab guy said they blocked the rd near there.
Thanks for this! Thats Exactly what we thought he said :)
가신 곳이 여의도 같은데, 거기 건너편에서 보는게 더 많이 보이고 사람들도 더 붐비고 건물도 예쁘게 같이 보여요. 누군가는 구글 리뷰에 꼼꼼하게 작성해주면 좋겠네요.
I think the place you went to is Yeouido, but you can see more things from across the Han River. People are less crowded and the buildings look pretty together. I hope someone writes meticulously in the google review.
Once again… another masterful video that makes me anxious to visit Korea! 😮
❤️☺️
Thanks for sharing the beautiful Korea
❤️
Nice experience guys….to watch a beautiful fireworks 😍😍😍 stay safe guys and god bless 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Awe! I was in a good spot during that time. And was a lil bit worried after the show. Crossing the Han river was also a struggle until the Mapo station.
Lucky you! We should of went earlier for a better spot but we didn’t expect that many ppl would show up 😅
omg love your work, its not that hard to use the subway tho. Im glad you guys figured it out in the end. Sad taxis wouldnt take you guys :(.
This was our first time taking the MRT in Korea but it was actually quite easy lol and yeaa but its totally understandable since they cant even get in the area cus too many ppl came for the fireworks lol
Oh my gosh! I also love libraries just like Ann. Im a book worm or nerds, is that what we call? Haha
Haha you guys would get along then! She loves booksn
beautiful library!!
😊
Wow maganda library!!! 😁
☺️
Stunning B rolls, Jan & Ann! You vids keep getting better. 🥰 Surprised though that you guys didn't consider the train going to the park as it is efficient and easy to learn. 😳.... and that you guys had to squeeze in some grub before the fireworks (why am I not surprised? Lol. Vestiges of Singapore! Haha). With 1.2M expected foot traffic, the best way is to always beat the crowd or go to a spot that you can get the best view and fastest way to exit. That occasion could have taken a dark turn. Glad you guys are ok!
Thanks always G! ☺️. After this we actually took the MRT alot more. Taxis is really affordable in Seoul so we didnt mind taking them as well. And thanks, glad everyone was okay that night! Definitely could’ve been worse!
No need to worry about stampede usually. Previous incident was unusual. The ally was so narrow and a little steep. The surrounding was so noisy with loud music and drunken atmosphere. But being careful anywhere is very important everytime. Better safe than sorry. Anyway hope everyone who visits Korea has a good time and makes good memories.
Quality vid 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️🇵🇭
Thank you Jade :)!
Metro system in Seoul is efficient and goes everywhere. Next time take the metro to go to your destination. It's cheaper and super easy. I am so glad there was no stampede when you guys were there. Stay safe always. Love your videos and I always look forward watching it. 🙂
I agree. Seoul Metro system is efficient and easy and is on par with railway system in japan. You can go everywhere and much cheaper.
Hii! Yes we did use the MRT alot more after this video. Definitely really easy to use and quite cheap :)
If it is efficient, why it's crowded?
@@achacs1 to be fair it was only crowded this day cus of the festival. Any other day it was always empty and spacious.
@@achacs1 With more than 8 million passengers a day, Seoul has one of the busiest subway systems in the world. With 23 lines and 640 Station. Despite this, it is highly regarded for its efficiency, its ease of navigation, its timeliness. If you compare that to Manila we only have 3 major metro lines with 15 million people residing. We are so left behind 😔
I went to see the fire works years ago and though it's cold for me to stand through out the fire works but still it's very enjoyable. I wonder how was the temperature for you guys. I hope you guys enjoyed it and also of the much chillier climate. Take care and thanks for sharing.
The weather was pretty good at that time fortunately! ☺️ thanks for watching!
Wow pretty fireworks
😊
Guys try niyo kumain sa RARACOST sarap ng mga pagkain nila dun lalo na pasta nila 🤤 OMG! namiss ko tuloy KOREA 😔
Hehe nexttime!! :)
한국에 오신걸환영합니다~~ 영상잘보고가요
Thank you ❤️
Guys I was feeling sympathy frustration each time you mentioned your taxi Ls which seemed to happen a lot in this country, but as I'm sure someone may have told you by now: 1) many Koreans use Kakaotaxi app similar to uber. A nearby taxi from your pinned location will accept the fare and pick you up. 2) There are designated taxi stands in many places where you can only hop in at those places, not at any random street curb (like NYC). I had a taxi driver gesture to me to cross the street and wait for him there even though I was standing just two feet from his rear door. But it would've been illegal for him to let me in from there so I crossed the street, waited for him to make a U turn, and got in the car. 3) Xenophobia. Maybe at least once you could've encountered a driver who didn't want to pick up non-Koreans, but the xenophobia happens in pockets and is not systematic. It doesn't explain why you so often had drivers pass you by. My best guess is you weren't standing at designated pick up spots.
Thanks for this :)
Their is Pyro music festival in MOA right now untill dec 30 every weekend..no need go gangnam hehehe avoid crowd people, stay safe ❤️❤️❤️
Ohh thats so cool 😎 thank you☺️
Definitely worth it na makita talaga yung mga fireworks kasi struggle yung pagpunta dyan.
hey you guys are awsome !
i was actually there at fire works so i can tell you the cab drivers werent rejecting you guys, they just cant go near the place.
whenever theres a big event the city blocks all the roads near the event.
Yeaa definitely made sense when we got to our location lol their was so many ppl, so theirs no way a taxi can even get in there 😅
Thanks~! Hallelujah! Amen forever and ever~!
☺️
Ang ganda at saya sobra!!! 😍💖💖💖💖💖
Thank you Marc always :)
I love Jan’s humor, please prank Ann. Haha 😂
Hahah 😅😂
Ann is so prettyyyy 😍
Awe thank you 🥰
Wow!
☺️❤️
When was that? The fireworks festival? Just came back from Seoul last friday
Hii! This was on October 8th :)
That was Soooooo Sick! Dang, Sooooooo many people! Was afraid you was going to lose Ann, lol
😂😅
Once I was in a New Year celebrations crowd of 50K it freaked me out when the crowd started to push and shove like a human wave. Luckily a stamped was avoided. There seem to be no crowd control in this even, maybe its too big to even control. So scary. Enjoying this new travel series
We honestly didn’t expect it to be that crowded cus we wouldnt have gone if we knew lol. Just glad nothing bad happened that night! ☺️
Daming tao grabe. Take care always. Great vid!
Yea we didnt expect that many people 😅 and thank you!
did you visit the glass bridge inside the mall where the biggest library is?
Oh where is that at? We just went for the Starfield library.
@@JanandAnn sorry my mistake it is not in coex it is in time square mall. It is near the 64th building(but you've been to lotte tower this place might not be in your appetite since it is only until 64th floor)
You've been riding taxis everywhere? You're gonna go broke like that. I literally figured out the subway the first time.
We found taxis quite cheap in Korea compare to other countries so we didnt mind. but we ended up using the mrt alot more too tho !
Ann is such a babe
Haha thanks Richard!
Are you guys going to Bali next?
We plan to go next year :) we’ll be in Japan next!
Cool…I been there too many times already. I would recommend that you guys go to Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. There not much to see in Tokyo but a good experience to have. I think you will like Kyoto for more layback and historical places and Castle. Osaka would be more fun for you guys I would also recommend the guy in Osaka that sells sushi on the parking lot. But you guys can watch it in Netflix asian food.
12:35 not sure if this is a regular occurrence but would be better to whisper in situations like this as other passengers will get seriously annoyed with talking in the subway. Looks like the guy with the baseball cap on the right starting to get a lil peeved. And I highly recommend Google Translate or Papago for translating with your camera. And also using it for verbal communication (speaking into the phone and playing it back in Korean to them), as it shows that you're making an effort and people are mode than happy to oblige. Glad you had fun.
Hey there, thanks so much for watching! We appreciate your comments :) Just to clarify a few things: We always use our low voices when on the subway, it just sounds like we aren't because we have a mic attached to our camera! In fact, we actually had to edit and turn up the audio on that part because our voices were TOO low. And don't worry we weren't disturbing those around us! The guy in the baseball cap was actually wearing earphones so it was impossible for him to hear us. And finally, we had a translator app with us at all times where we play it in Korean for them. It was just never shown in our vlogs! Thanks again for your support! ☺️
hey bro!! Set Korean subtitles and titles. You will get a lot of views.
I really felt that struggle of talking to locals 😁😁😁Also that stampede incident was so horrible but glad you’re safe guys. 😇Excited to see your Japan escapade🎉🥳🥁👏🏻🇯🇵
❤️😊
Can't believe that you only took cab but didn't try to take subway in Seoul, which is a lot faster, cheaper and more efficient than cab. Same as most Asian places like Hong Kong and Tokyo, subway system is way better than that in any cities in Canada.
Your video came across my UA-cam. I got one question in mind. If I'm going to korea on October 8th,will the tree there be colorful already?
Yes we also went october and the trees were starting to turn colors :)
@@JanandAnn awh. Thank you. I guess I will be coming early October then and catch this fireworks event too. 😇
@@DarkVenom7 enjoy :)!
@@JanandAnn thank you 😇
Lucky there was no rampage. I read from the news that there was a Halloween crush and death toll was 153, including 22 foreigners. So scary.
Yes you must take subways to go there
☺️❤️
handsome and beautiful
Thank you 😊
MangoWaffle~~~~
☺️
is it worth it?
Yes! The fireworks were crazy but we wished we got there earlier!
what month was this / to much people thanks
This was last month :)
how do you find the biggest library?
Its in Coex Mall in Gangnam :)
@@JanandAnn oh sorry my question is meant of your experience? :)
It seems like Seoul had warning signs of a disaster waiting to happen. This was days before the Itaewon crowd crush happened.
Exactly what we thought’
y'all made taking the train seem like the biggest inconvenience lol
😅😅
Still more to come?
Yes :)
@@JanandAnn Yey!.,Thanks much!😉😊👍💟
Grabe yung mga tao 😱
Oo nga eh! Sobrang dami pumunta 😅
16:54
😀
Are you required to be vaccinated in order to enter South Korea?
Before yes, but at the moment we arent too sure. Highly recommend to check the newest travel requirements to enter Sk :)
I think you guys should have watched a general seoul guide before heading there, a lot of people would recommend "Naver Map" to get around seoul using the subway, all popular locations are basically next to subway stations, nobody really uses taxis
Kung low end kau ano ko🙄? To d Lowest end 😄😁
Hehe ❤️😅
Your IG links aren’t working.
Ohh weird! We’ll update it thanks for mentioning it :)
You were during there guys during that tragedy happened?
Fortunately no! We left korea a week before it happened. But that was sad news :(
@@JanandAnn It should be *Fortunately and not unfortunately
@@inbetweenworlds yes so sorry that was a typo!
@@JanandAnn I corrected not for the typo but the thought. So so glad you guys are ok
@@inbetweenworlds thank you ❤️

😂
❤️☺️
1 million people in the same area is
Got pretty crowded 😅
외국인도 여의도 불꽃축제 갔다가 위협느껴 끝나기 전에 퇴장하는데...이태원 좁은 골목길에 뭐 좋다고 꾸역꾸역 모여들었으니
Looks so dangerous with the risk of a stampede. If it was me, I will not go there. The people are like they never seen fireworks in their lives lol
We honestly didn’t expect it to be like that! If we knew we wouldnt have gone either 😅
@@JanandAnn So glad you guys are safe. Look forward to more videos from your S Korea series
지하철역에서 마스크 좀 착용 잘하시길 ㅡㅡ
We were :)
no wonder we south koreans have much less babies even though gov is trying increase birth rate. everywhere is too crowded because we have too many people in this small isolated peninsula and all the people have same thoughts and go to the same place at the same time.
OVERRATED!!!! its not worth ur effort and safety given the recent stampede,,
This was filmed a few weeks before the stampede but I totally agree that its not worth it bcus of crowded it got
Do Koreans still wear masks? Very unscientific and disappointing
Was still required indoors last month but not sure how it is now
It just happened couple weeks before Itaewon crowd crush
Yes :(
@@JanandAnn wow,,, take care guys! Enjoy your video so far.
Actually taxi driver did not reject but they were not allowed to get there due to trafic control.
I watched the fireworks from my balcony, across the river. Please let me know next time and I will invite you guys to my home.
If you want to enjoy the 'Seoul International Fireworks Festival'~🔥💦💦
To enjoy the night view of Hangang Park as well as the fireworks display---
Go early around noon to find the best spot to avoid the crowds. Also, people usually bring their camping mat, dinner and drinks.
Thanks for this 😊
good
Thanks :)
Its not mrt. Its called subway.
Ok lol
@@JanandAnn . When someone tells you proper way to say about something in their country. Its a joking matter to you?
