Rest in peace, dear students from the Sewol... Thanks for taking a moment to remember them. On a lighter note, achievement unlocked, you found the hexagons! This is one of the few places in the world that has neighborhoods organized around hexagons. City Beautiful had a video about hexagons a few months ago, and I happened to comment about Ansan ^^
Rest in peace Danwon High School students and teachers. Was a really sad time here for sure. That's really cool about the hexagon fact though! Haha. Had no idea about the city until we randomly stumbled upon it, but it was a great place to explore for sure!
Thank you guys for exploring hidden gem town around Seoul, you deserve more attention of course not all beautiful things ask for it. I also would like to appreciate the old lady that you met on the crosswalk for still remembering their younger neighbors. I am just a regular Korean but even after 10 years my heart tears apart, maybe even harder while I am getting older, when I hear about the tragedy and think about all those people died in that day. But as you said the people and neighborhood are resilient stay strong to not to forget those whom lost their lives in all different reality and everyday life.
Thanks so much for the kind words @estebanpark! I was around for the Sewol Tragedy and it was the saddest moment of my time here in Korea. It truly impacted the entire nation with sadness and grief, and like you said, it's important to keep remembering the bright souls that were lost, and to be influenced by them to create a better world for the future.
I like how one of you spoke English and the other spoke Korean. Gave me a chance to learn Korean again. I didn't know about the big spermarkets being closed on Sundays so the old markets can survive.
Happy to hear you like the mix between English/Korean @2GoodLookin! Also funnily enough, that law was just changed yesterday I think? Now the stores can choose which days they close, but I think it has to be two days every month still.
Thanks a lot @marcellostraps! I still remember when I first got to Korea and my co-workers told me I should never go to Ansan because it's too dangerous. Turns out it's actually a really nice area! I'd live there too for sure!
@LB20278 thank you so much for your kind words and support! Wow that's incredibly nice of you to do so! I don't know how the ads work, but definitely feel free to skip them as well because I know they can get annoying sometimes! Haha. All the best!
Love how you are exploring different parts of Korea and I appreciate the conversations you two have regarding Korean culture :). New subscriber here! :)
Wow. I have't been to Ansan since '93. The areas of it I saw, at least as I remember them now, were quite a bit like the neighborhoods in Yeongdeungpo. I expected it would have changed since then, but that's a complete transformation. Now I want to go wander around a bit myself. Thanks for the video!
Wow Mike 1993! I was only 4 years old at that time haha. I bet you have seen Korea go through some absolutely massive changes in your time here! Also it's definitely worth a visit just to see the developments going on. Looking forward to your next video to learn some more about Korea, and stay warm in this ridiculously cold weather! Haha
I love "other peoples' mundane", and find it interesting - especially when it's in a foreign country. This series of videos is certainly scratching that particular itch for me. Thank you, UA-cam algorithm.
Hey @stevecriddle3299 really glad that you enjoyed this series! Thanks for letting us know, and we're hoping to continue a lot of similar videos throughout Seoul and then more of the countryside of Korea later on in the year!
You said you couldn't drink with your first meal but you wish you could, some meals are great with Soju but did they not sell it there? you said it at 6:04 but it sounded like you can't drink?
Oh haha I should have clarified @DTmaster. It was lunch time so I didn't want to start drinking especially since we were just starting our exploration. You can definitely drink there though (and most people were).
At the end you touched on work restrictions in terms of location and I couldn't agree more,, I'm living in Daejeon and absolutely love it here,, it's a pity the opportunities for foreigners tend to be in Seoul (and surrounding areas),,, I'd love to stay in Daejeon but it's likely not possible,, I'll enjoy it while I can :)
I've always had a really good time in Daejeon everytime I've gone there. We have considered living there just because of its central location and access to the entire country. You are so right that most of the working opportunities are in Seoul for foreigners though unfortunately. Hope you can find a way to stay there since it sounds you really like it!
Really enjoy these videos. They make me look forward to getting back to South Korean to do some more exploring. I love wandering around those old markets too. And these videos are also motivating me to do more exploration day trips around where I live.
Thanks so much @northice! Hope you can get back to Korea soon, and if you have some free time you should get out and explore too! It's pretty interesting the things you run into. Especially since a lot of the hidden stuff doesn't seem to appear as easily on Google Maps.

You have a wonderful presentation format and editing to your videos. You two deserve more subscribers!
Thanks so much for the nice comment @ICDeadPeeps that's music to our ears! 😊

Welcome to my town. Seoulers are often afraid to venture out to Ansan, but I myself prefer it for the most part to Seoul.
Thanks a lot @marcellostraps! I still remember when I first got to Korea and my co-workers told me I should never go to Ansan because it's too dangerous. Turns out it's actually a really nice area! I'd live there too for sure!
You guys are amazing. I watch your videos without skipping ahead. I also watch the ads for your sake. Blessings.

@@lostthenfound oh i understand because once you begin 🍻 it's game over and the urge to see other stuff diminishes fast 😁👌
Thanks for the show. Have a great week. Regards
Thanks so much as always for watching and commenting Howard! Hope you are having a great 2024, and have an amazing week too!

안산은 이게 일상이야 - ㅊㅊㅁ
안산은 생각보다 좋더라고요! 다음에 조금 더 깊게 구경하고 싶어요 :)
Totally wick!
It's a really cool place for sure Alex!
Beautiful
Was a really nice area for sure! Hoping to find some more interesting areas too!
Sounds like you guys are consider hitting the road in a mobile home. If you can do it while you're young, healthy and energetic, that's the time :-)
Haha still doing some planning right now @MagicGreenSquid but we will see! 😉 Thanks so much for the support and hope you have a wonderful week!
Another great video. Keep up the fantastic work!!
Thanks so much @benkim211! Really appreciate the support!
That same bear-slide is also in itaewon.
Ahah no way! I bet there are like 10 of them all over the country or something, just like those half moon chairs that are everywhere that light up.
Really enjoy these videos. They make me look forward to getting back to South Korean to do some more exploring. I love wandering around those old markets too. And these videos are also motivating me to do more exploration day trips around where I live.
