I had completely forgotten about the dishes from the Chinese restaurant deliveries. You'd regularly see them stacked outside front doors in the pre-bag days. If a delivery came late in the day, the dishes might sit out there all night. Sometimes they'd be there for a day or two. There was a trend in the early 2000s where some restaurants would deliver the food in plastic tubs. Then when you were done you'd drop the dishes in the tub, put the lid on, and set that outside. Another memory that just came back: any time I moved into a rented flat, there'd be magnets and menu cards in one of the kitchen drawers from all the Chinese and chicken places in the area, so it was never necessary to go out and look them up. That usually meant jajangmyeon for lunch and/or dinner on my first day in any flat. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for all the stories Mike! It's really interesting to see the evolution of food delivery here! I totally forgot about the magnet menu cards that everyone just stuck to their doors too haha. Seems like they are fading away slowly kind of like the flyers they would scatter all over the ground too! I still remember my first time ordering deliver by phone with one of those cards, thinking there is absolutely no way they understood what I said (I had no idea what they said that's for sure), and when the guy knocked at my door with food it felt like I was some kind of super hero for making it happen haha. Definitely a lot easier to do now!
Wow @dericmpark8381 thanks so much for your generousity! Really appreciate the support, and will add your name to the title at the end of our videos if that's okay!
Super interesting. All of the city workers lunching at the same time must cause problems. At one place I worked in Sydney, too many technical staff weren't allowed to lunch together, in case there was a major issue back at the office (and no-one to fix it).
Thanks a lot @MagicGreenSquid! I'm sure it causes problems and it can definitely be annoying when you want to get something done and it's right before lunch break but you have to wait a full hour for them to open up again. Korea is definitely very group oriented in the office though, and I notice a lot of co-workers like to eat out together (some might be pressured to do so though).
Really appreciate the historical background information, whether it's about food delivery or past Korean leaders. Also, I'm really against constructing new high rises for housing. Korea has a huge affordable housing situation and high rises costs so much more (more than double per square foot) in comparison to a standard 2 story building.
Thanks a lot @ICDeadPeeps glad we could put some interesting information in there! Also you are right that Seoul's prices are getting out of control, and they continue to make the buildings higher and higher. I don't think we will be able to afford to live here for our whole life! Haha
Really appreciate your videos guys! ☺ Each time you inspire me with some great less touristy spots to visit. Thank you 🌞
Thanks so much @martyna_ule! Glad that you enjoyed it! Hope we can share some more cool spots soon too! 😁
🎊🇰🇷🎉 Happy Lunar New Year! 🎉🇰🇷🎊
Happy Lunar New Year @misscaroline542! 🇰🇷🎉
걸으면서 보는 풍경이 편안하고 좋아보여요~
무인가게 음식이 다양한것 같아요.
이곳 저곳을 보여주면서
즐거운 산책길이 되길 바랍니다~~~
좋아요^^
@msj63님 감사합니다! 공덕역 근처에 산책하는게 진짜 좋은 것 같아요. 그리고 공덕은 바쁜데도 근처에 조용한 곳이 많아서 아주 좋아요!

😊🙏 Thanks for everything @Inchonseoul!
You both speak fluent English why didn't you get English teacher job rather than food delivery?
@peacew6 We both used to be English teachers but we would rather make less money and have more free time! 😁
Thanks!
Thanks!
Wow thank you so much for all of the @dericmpark8381! Hope you have a great weekend!
