thank you so much for the video! also, another table manner tip is to receive anything with two hands instead of one, as it is more respectful. thank you again!
I had been hoping to travel to Japan and South Korea, but if going to S Korea in Sept-October is best, then I'd best be making plans for next year. These two are on my list! Watching the many Korean dramas on the tele makes me want to explore that country! Maybe I can see Japan the following year or so.
We hope you have a great trip! We have been waiting patiently for Japan to fully re-open to tourists and are hoping to go back again next year! Have a great time!
@Korea Travel Notes@ 1. Korea is a homogeneous nation Korea has only recently become famous abroad and is attracting more and more tourists. Most Koreans are awkward with foreigners! - Korea is a Confucian culture. From an early age, we constantly learn to be considerate, humble, and respectful. That's why most Koreans don't discriminate!! (No country in the world is free from racism. Exceptions always exist) In fact, Korea is the safest country for travelers and you will feel it when you come to Korea. 2. Koreans are perfectionists. For a Korean to speak a foreign language, it is necessary to be able to converse at the level of a local! Most of the young people can speak English basicly! - The reason foreigners feel unkind to Koreans is that Koreans 'can't help you perfectly in your language' (Of course, this is gradually improving 😀) 3. Most foreigners I see speak 100% native language in Korea. In Korea, when traveling abroad, I think it's polite to learn a little bit of the language of that country. But all the foreigners I have seen in Korea come to me in English or their mother tongue. Everyone, please respect Korean! If you come to Korea by studying at least a minimum of Korean, it will be a really enjoyable trip! "sillyehnida" (Excuse me) If you approach Koreans in Korean, Koreans will help you like family, even if it's the first time they've met you!! I hope you all feel the beautiful "jeong" culture!

Hello. I am traveling to S Korea solo during this summer season - 2022. I really appreciate all the tips you’ve shared here. Any additional tips you can impart will be greatly appreciated.
Wow hope you have an amazing time, summer is a great time to go just make sure to head out early to avoid the warmer times of the day; it can get quite sticky!
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
@@CreativeTravelGuide This tip also surprised me. I always take deodorant, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc., with me. Is it common for people to not bring this type of stuff when they travel and buy it on the country they're visiting?
Often people will travel light and pick up items like this on arrival. Some people may also stay longer than one deodorant will last, especially if they are touring Asia. Deodorant can be harder to find in many Asian countries. When we moved to China we would stock up on every visit back home and bring enough to last us a year.
@@CreativeTravelGuide Oh, that makes sense. To be fair, I think the most I've ever been on holidays was two weeks, so I guess I wouldn't have time to run through my deodorant. Thank you for explaining!
Currently, fully vaccinated (2or more) travellers can visit South Korea without quarantine. Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated have a 7 day quarantine requirement
I am coming in September. Do I need to pack plasters and pain medication etc I have allergies also like she’ll fish. Will Koreans be ok if I refuse food due to my allergies. I am vegan also so is their any vegan restaurants around. I am visiting the back hospital in gangam so will I be safe getting a taxi to the hospital and back to my hotel on my own.
These are the rules as it stands but remember to check before you fly because they can always change : You can travel without quarantine if you are: A fully vaccinated traveler who has received 2 doses of a WHO-approved Covid-19 vaccine at least 14 days before traveling and within 180 days Or A fully vaccinated traveler who has completed their third dose of Covid-19 vaccine (booster)
I'm Korean :) Holding a bowl and eating it is a small etiquette in Korea. However, there is no need to keep it unconditionally. I think only the elderly over the age of 60 will point it out.
Japanese use chopsticks for rice. And for soup, they just drink it. So in Japan holding up the rice bowl to not show others eating rice(it can be messy). So it's manner for them i guess. Korea, we use spoon for rice and soup. Korean rice is kinda sticky so you wouldn't see falling down some rice from mouth. Use spoon for rice and soup and do not holding up bowl for them is formal way to eat in Korea. but when you have meal with your friends and it's very comfortable place then it's up to you. You can hold your bowl and use ur chopsticks for rice. You can suit yourself.
Welcome our country enjoy your time here thanks

Japan and Korea are very close, you may look into it and travel over there for one time , just need spending more time if you can.
Definitely going south Korea
Hope you have a great time!
Planning to travel to South Korea Nov 2023
Hope you have a great time!
Google map doesn’t work well in korea. Use Naver or kakao map. They are more accurate.
우리한국을 아름답게 설명해 주셔서 감사합니다 ❤
“You may want to bring deodorant”
Just to South Korea???
It’s harder to find deodorant in shops in some Asian countries, hence the tip!
@@CreativeTravelGuide that is so true same for Vietnam
@@CreativeTravelGuide This tip also surprised me. I always take deodorant, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc., with me. Is it common for people to not bring this type of stuff when they travel and buy it on the country they're visiting?

Hi, Looks like their travel rules has changed last week. Care to create an update video? Thanks so much for the help.
Currently, fully vaccinated (2or more) travellers can visit South Korea without quarantine. Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated have a 7 day quarantine requirement
@@CreativeTravelGuide is it still a requirement to quarantine if I were to visit solo?
Currently, there are no quarantine requirements or restrictions for those visiting South Korea, regardless of vaccination
@@CreativeTravelGuide That's what I thought just wanted to be safe and double check. Thanks for the quick answer!
@@CreativeTravelGuide Thanks, but we already went few months ago. So... 😁👍
I am coming in September. Do I need to pack plasters and pain medication etc I have allergies also like she’ll fish. Will Koreans be ok if I refuse food due to my allergies. I am vegan also so is their any vegan restaurants around.
I am visiting the back hospital in gangam so will I be safe getting a taxi to the hospital and back to my hotel on my own.
I will need a tour guide. I will try going there with someone
Yes there are some great walking tours around South Korea and try the food tours in Seoul - amazing!
Wait which is better south or North Korea.
I feel like south is bette
@@Quran16- ... why would you go to North Korea?? You'd be giving your money to a dictatorship who treats their citizens horribly.
@@Quran16- North Korea isn't safe at all
I am hoping to settle in S korea when I grow up
Best of luck with the move!
Hi I m travelling to South Korea in June 2023
How is the wheather there?????😮
Summer
June is warm and pleasant but can rain at times
I absolutely like your vids on south korea. But there's one place in south korea you really overlooked. Thats jeonju South Korea.
Thanks for your suggestion!
well, google translate is not so good. please find out better translate APP please. thx.
do we need 3rd dose vaccine to go s.korea?
These are the rules as it stands but remember to check before you fly because they can always change :
You can travel without quarantine if you are:
A fully vaccinated traveler who has received 2 doses of a WHO-approved Covid-19 vaccine at least 14 days before traveling and within 180 days

Most people say that Papago is superior to Google Translate for Korean.
Thank you for the feedback! 🙏
Don’t pick up your bowl to eat? What? I see them with this plate/bowl thing when eating.
I'm Korean :)
Holding a bowl and eating it is a small etiquette in Korea.
However, there is no need to keep it unconditionally.
I think only the elderly over the age of 60 will point it out.
Japanese use chopsticks for rice. And for soup, they just drink it. So in Japan holding up the rice bowl to not show others eating rice(it can be messy). So it's manner for them i guess.

You can hold your bowl and use ur chopsticks for rice. You can suit yourself.
Are there any laws we need to follow due to covid (
Covid?*
Always check the travel advise of your destination at the time of your visit - things are changing quickly in all locations at the moment!
Is it hard to find people who speak English?
But what if we learn korean
Learning the local language can always help!
