Seoul is only going to be my first stop on the journey for the next week. I plan to stay in South Korea for a while and explore also other areas beside Seoul. So, what's South Korea like? How will the arrival in Seoul be? Join me and let's find out!

    Hey Ken!
    Der Herr, der dich zur Nudelsuppe eingeladen hat, ist mein Vater!
    Er wollte wohl ausdrücken, dass ich kurz zu meiner Hochzeit in Seoul war :)
    Ich wohne in Frankfurt und arbeite hier als Architekt.
    Was mein Vater am Ende mit "My Son" ausdrücken wollte, dass du an mich erinnerst, deshalb hat er dich eingeladen.
    Dank dir konnte ich wieder sehen, wie mein Vater mich vermisst und liebt. 🥰
    Vielen Dank noch mal!
    Ich hoffe, dass du einen guten Eindruck und die schönen Erfahrungen in Korea gehabt hast.
    Vielen Dank für das Video. Es wird schöne Erinnerung für unsere Familie. ☺
    Ich wünsche dir schöne weitere Reise in die Welt!! 👍

      한국에는 간혹 잘 모르시는 나이많은 분들이 나이 어린 친구들 식사를 계산해 주실 때가 있는데, 아들이나 딸, 손주 같은 사람들한테 사줍니다.
      "내 아들같아서 사 준 거야." 라는 뜻입니다.

    Hi Ken. Everywhere you go you seem to have no trouble meeting friendly people and almost always have a positive experience interacting with the locals. I think it is because you are friendly and outgoing yourself and people respond to that. We can all benefit by behaving like you when we travel. 😊

      Wow. Thanks 👍 😊 I just bought my 1st desktop computer and searched Asian countries for how progress was going. I knew from Europe visiting relatives, how little our US news had on Asia. I saw posts on chat rooms, that were like Facebook, x, Twitter, or IG today and the people I could 'chat' with wanted me to visit Korea, China, various online friends were in same chat rooms sometimes.
      The popular John Titor time traveler controversy was also everyday, ongoing for 2 years or so ..
      23 years later the "for fun only predictions" are coming true because I made families home improvements cheap or free for years and then the Asian customers relatives invited me to share business and we help more people soon..
      My passport is ready, looking forward to meeting many good people I met online 😊

Hanja, the Chinese characters that were basically used to write Korean up to that time, are ideograms. It's basically like hieroglyphs written on Egyptian murals. They say “eagle,” but when they say it in writing, they are drawing a “picture of an eagle.” King Sejong the Great invented a phonetic alphabet system that resembles pronunciation, and that is the Korean alphabet called “Hangeul” that Koreans use.

    I may be wrong, but at the steps when you see the sloping metal ramps, I think you can glide your luggage there while going up or down the staircase so that you dont have to carry your luggage. Ive been to Seoul 3 times and I love the hospitality of the Seoul people.

      If you are referring to the part where he went down the stairs and back up on the other side, those are really there to make it easier to carry your bicycle up/down the stairs. I guess you can you use them for luggage but seeing how steep they were makes me think it would be difficult with luggage but I never tried it. There should have been ramps/conveyor belts for luggage at the train station exits so I am surprised to see there weren't any where he got out. I guess he went out the wrong exit.

    I stayed in mydeong and gangnum and Busan and there was always someone to guide us in the metro or the train

    Hi Ken! I lived in Seoul in 2019 so lovely, you most definitely have to go out for Korean BBQ! And the nightlife in Itaewon 😊 I loved going to FAUST German for FIST right 😉 Enjoy! And you’ll probably like Dongdaemun as well. 🍀

    7:50 Hello, welcome to korea! I am korean myself, and that man is king sejong who was the 4th king of josun dynasty, which was one and last of many dynasties in this small land. He created Hangeul, the language we use to this day, just for the poor people because back by then, we had been using chinese characters and they were very hard to use. The language we spoke didnt have any letter to write down so our ancestors had been using chinese characters only to write down things. And king sejong made hanguel. All people in korea look upon him. I remember he lived in about 13 or 14th century

    As a korean I hope you spend a good time here in SK.
    About the vending machine rejecting your notes, just like the instance you faced in Shanghai, it says "천원권만 사용 가능합니다" which means "it only takes 1000KRW notes".
    my chinese gf really enjoyed the scene in shanghai btw and realized how unfriendly things are to tourists who can't read chinese characters. Guess things are similar to an extent in SK as well haha.
    EDIT:
    Just realized your hotel is the building I and my gf used to frequent to have chinese hotpot haha.
    and the 'god bium' yogurt drink you got from the CVS, it's good for your intestines. ladies usually get this for bowel movement.

    I'm overjoyed to visit and travel throughout South Korea. Thank you for sharing your vlog! I think its a wonderful sign that you met someone who had a son in Germany and they treated you well during your first meal. The lady who provided elevator instructions at the train station was so endearing. The arm wrestling men is quite a scene to stumble upon too. 😅

    Hey Ken, the restaurant you ate at was anchovy based noodle soup. She said she added only a little bit of red spice just in case it was too spicy. You should consider using a translating app so they can understand you without getting frustrated. Enjoy your time in my motherland. Be careful around the drinking culture there 😂
