The second video from you, from my perspective. I am amazed by your ability to engage the people you meet. You have a respect for Korea, the language, and the confidence to venture out towards all that Korea offers. Thank you for helping me perhaps visit this country in the future.
Koreans really like to have a good time!…. Your vlog has really educated me tremendously on Korean culture…… After watching your videos I want to go to a Korean restaurant…. Even though it’s not the same here in the USA….. Thanks for another fun video Dan….☮️
The only place i had an authentic korean experience was in flushing queens in NYC! You definitely need to come here and experience it for yourself!!! :)
We went to Seoul in 2019 for the first time and really had no idea and just did the tourist thing. So grateful for your street level videos. Has opened our eyes to the real South Korea we want to see this November. We owe you a bottle of makkoli Dan.
I have just discovered your video and am loving each one. I love how you show what the real korea looks like. My daughter in law is Korean and I have a 2 year old grand daughter. They live in Australia . I have been teaching myself Korean language for about two years. Your videos teach me a lot of new words. Way for fun learning by watching your videos than book lol. Hope you keep making lots more videos about Korea. Love the history lessons you tell too. Take care .
Hiya Debbie, that is fantastic to hear than you are learning Korean from watching my videos and amazing to hear you have Korean family in Australia! :D If you go on my channel and look for the LET'S GU playlist, you'll find lots more of my Korean videos you can enjoy this weekend!! :D
HWAITING = FIGHTING.... love your videos mate. you show Korea in a way that no others have. Genuine uncut interactions with the locals showing how friendly they are with foreigners..
Thanks for the new korean content! loved your old videos aswell which got me hyped before my semester abroad in Seoul last year. Now that it's over, I enjoy exploring Seoul through your videos. Miss Seoul so much!
Dan you always crack me up, getting cockeyed in the mountains of Korea!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't make this stuff up man, you are the best. Take it easy, William
korea seems absolutely fantastic! glad I found your channel! top travel vlogger for sure! sabbatical, kurt caz, harald baldr, bald and bankrupt, and you! I think this is the top.
I just came back from a short trip to Seoul. I really thoroughly enjoy your videos. Just wish I had more time and explore all the places you have been. Seoul is a true metropolitan city and many fascinating areas. Next trip will definitely go to those areas off the beaten path of most tourists.
Been watching Dan's videos about a year, and this is one of my favorites. I was laughing so much at the Ajummas. Super friendly . Maybe a little too much Makgeolli.? Cool how you just wing it by yourself and go to these out of the way places. I used to do the same in the mid 80's. My Army buddy has a Triumph motorcycle and we would hit these villiages near Seongnam. Place where no Foreigners went. Super polite people. Always having a coffee or drink.
I wish 13,000 was $13. The exchange rate has sucked for about a year now. 13,000 = $9.77. Bulgogi - one of my favorites! Those two gentlemen were fascinated by you. ❤
Dan is Awesome.. these Koreans are awesome, you speak to them not even 5 seconds and they've already got your cup filled and chopsticks in hand, they are so nice. Beautiful and clean country.. I see 1 Million subscribers for you before the end of the year.. You have a beautiful outlook on your videos.. very positive and friendly and informative.. Just like Bald and Bankrupt.. My other favorite Brit.
I lived in 서대문구 신촌동 and 영등포구 in 1982 and 1983. What an amazing adventure it was! Korea was charming then. That last time I was there was 2008 and everything was modernly sterile. A shame
Your video is very interesting and fun. You can find detailed aspects of Korea and you look happy drinking. I hope the UA-cam channel goes well. I hope Google translates well
Hi Dan! Thanks for the great videos. I noticed you mainly say "Chan" to toast... don't Koreans say "Gombei" anymore? Or at least "O-tipchida"? Spelling is phonetic. My knowledge of Hangul is from the 80s....
Absolutely loved this video mate! Love how you just swoop in on unsuspecting Koreans like "ohhh is that makgeolli???" and flirt with all the ajummas 😂... Also love the let's gu t-shirt! I'll take 10
I'm watching these videos every day. My kids are hafus but identify as korean even though they've never been there and only started to learn the language. Your videos is a great way for us to see what we can expect. Absolutely love your series and looking forward to more. Also to learn a bit more about you. I hope you can make this a full time gig but as your content is so unique I feel that should absolutely be possible soon ❤
You sir are too kind. Fortunately for you and your family I've got a tonne of other Korean videos on my channel, past and present. I upload videos every Sunday at 9:15am NYC TIME! :D
Superfriendly koreans. They seemed to be really excited to meet you and that you knew their language. Language honestly is really important in these countries, otherwise this would be impossible.
Yes they would, that's the worst part of Seoul, many small buildings have been knocked down to make sim city style buildings!! Have you eaten donkatsu in sinchon yet?
@@annakatharinasponagel4630 Yes there's a place in Sinchon, it cost 5k and next door is a place with jeyyukbookeum for 5k. Message me on instagram and i can send you an address @whereisdangram
hongdae is in mapo-gu mate ... sinchon is in seodaemun! i realised the difference myself when i moved from yeonnam-dong just over the park to donggyo-dong. especially the main strip/playground, i.e. seogyo-dong. it's all mapoooo tofu. that long forest/book street park is basically the northern border of mapo/southern border of seodaemun. will be amazing if you can keep up the pace with these -gu videos! immense. this video was great, proper mixing with the locals!
Found this video quite enjoyable and very educational. A balance between the two. Preserve a number of the older areas with accurate and authentic renovations. And, allow the modern as needed within reason
Wow I just came across your channel and your quality of videos are amazing!! Subscribed and keep up the amazing work ❤️ best travel vlog I’ve ever seen
a lot of those older areas were leftover after the korean war in the 50's, they're pretty old. Seoul and Korea in general is growing fast and there's no benefit of them continuing to be there and maintained.
You are back and I am Back. We missed you in South Korea. I truly believe South Korea is the answer for you. Somehow you are going to make it in South Korea, if you keep on trying.
Glad you're back MR BUSTED!! I have been waiting for your comments for more than a year!!! I will make it in South Korea, but life keeps pulling me in different directions!!
i don't know. of course it's better than being homeless? but would you really want to live there? for 4 years i lived through construction and protests at 3-4 am. i had no idea what what right.
This guys ability to start a conversation and make instant friends is unbelievable!
Cheers mate haha, wait until you see what i've been getting up to recently! The upcoming videos are fire!!
The second video from you, from my perspective. I am amazed by your ability to engage the people you meet. You have a respect for Korea, the language, and the confidence to venture out towards all that Korea offers. Thank you for helping me perhaps visit this country in the future.
I'm glad to hear you might visit korea in the future!! Thanks for watching :)
Love Korea. I’m so glad you’re back making videos in that gorgeous country. 🥳
Glad to be back too!! :)
I like you hanging out with local people.
i do it in all my videos!! :D

Flirting with the ajumahs had my drying 😂 , this vlog was great loving the longer videos too 🏴☠️🫡

The mountains of Korea are always fun! I'm going to try get cockeyed in all the episodes brother!! :)

Really enjoyed this video…… Great combination of entertainment, information, and fun….. Thanks for sharing….
Excellent feedback!!! that's exactly what i was trying to do in my video !! :)
my fav video so far. love how respectful and kind u are to our people, especially the elders. keep killing it man!!
thanks a lot lad !!
People really need too see this side of the world. Thanks Dan!
thanks for watching!!
I wish 13,000 was $13. The exchange rate has sucked for about a year now. 13,000 = $9.77. Bulgogi - one of my favorites! Those two gentlemen were fascinated by you. ❤
Prices have gone up since i was last here!! I've noticed it in everything!
Bul-gogi is a classic!!! and those two ajoshis were great were't they haha

My friends ask why I travel outside!! I say explore where the people live!! What they do is what interest me! Thanks for sharing
im glad you like my style!!
@whereisdan I decided from your post to visit so korea this November!! Hopefully the weather will be decent?
Probably the most genuine vlog of Korea
Thanks for the kind comment, means a lot!!! Let's Gu!!!!
Great quality video without the quality makgeolli. Although, the dongdongju was a bit of an improvement.
In the next one we drink some wolmae makgeolli with a chinese man in an alley way!
You are welcome babe to A jum ma is so disturbing i can not get enough of it lolololol.
Hahahaha :)
This is where I grew up before moving to America. Thanks for sharing.

cheers brother!!
Superb - you’re inspiring me to hop on my bike and explore my Gu in Busan.
You're in Busan!! Get out there and do it mate!!

Drunk badminton bloody hell. Lol Cheers Dan!
Where is Dan? Probably drinking makgeolli with ajeossi's in the parks of Seoul
That's all i do, even if i'm filming a video or not haha
Dan Fantastic content, very enjoyable.
Another great video Dan. Korea looks Amazing! people look ever so friendly.
The kindest, most welcoming people in the world. Especially when there's Makgeolli involved!!
Commenting just for the algorithm. ;-)
never blame the drink XD
I really like that you are making longer videos since you came back!
Good! I will keep them from 30-40 minutes :)
I lived in 서대문구 신촌동 and 영등포구 in 1982 and 1983. What an amazing adventure it was! Korea was charming then. That last time I was there was 2008 and everything was modernly sterile. A shame

@@whereisdan Thank you for your late response. I wish you happiness
you too@@방구석여포-f6h
Great video! Love to see you interacting with locals and to see their kindness towards you!
They're so friendly aren't they! What other districts would you like to see next?
@@whereisdan seongsu!!! The Seoul forest!
@@AustinRockyRode
I wish I lived there. I'd never get tired of hiking the mountains, getting lost in the city and interacting with people.
it was a dream living there for 3 years, I had so much fun!!
Another great look at Korea, what a beautiful country
Glad you enjoyed it!! :)
Hi Dan! Thanks for the great videos. I noticed you mainly say "Chan" to toast... don't Koreans say "Gombei" anymore? Or at least "O-tipchida"? Spelling is phonetic. My knowledge of Hangul is from the 80s....
You can say both, i just like to use Chan because i always say 'jackie chan' or 'uzbekichan'
Absolutely loved this video mate! Love how you just swoop in on unsuspecting Koreans like "ohhh is that makgeolli???" and flirt with all the ajummas 😂... Also love the let's gu t-shirt! I'll take 10
Yes laaaaaad!! I'll have one for you when i get back home
@@whereisdan Nice one laddy!
Mate your real traveler in the world i love your video
Thanks a lot mate!! i'm grateful you commented on my video, it's very helpful :)

What type of video? 영행. Yuh HONG? 여행. YUH HunG?! 여행. ahh... 여행!
That alwaaaaays happens. It's annoying and funny at the same time haha
LMAO
those 2 old blokes
they were champions!!
Is this filmed recently?
i filmed it last week!!! new LET'S GU videos every week!
Superfriendly koreans. They seemed to be really excited to meet you and that you knew their language. Language honestly is really important in these countries, otherwise this would be impossible.
Yeah you're right, i'm glad i can speak a little Korean to be able to interact with these friendly people!!
@@whereisdan Yeah! You must have learned quite a bit
Glad to see you are back with the korea videos. You’ve taught me a lot that has helped now that I live here!
Fantastic mate! What neighborhood you in? You'll have to come to the BBQ meet up!!
I think only apartment complexes would feel a bit dystopian? I also enjoy the smaller buildings in seoul, it gives a cozy atmosphere..
Yes they would, that's the worst part of Seoul, many small buildings have been knocked down to make sim city style buildings!! Have you eaten donkatsu in sinchon yet?
@@whereisdan not yet can you recommend a place?
@@annakatharinasponagel4630 Yes there's a place in Sinchon, it cost 5k and next door is a place with jeyyukbookeum for 5k. Message me on instagram and i can send you an address @whereisdangram
I love your videos Dan. How you easily communicate and bled, that boggles me :). I have stayed here more than two years. Waiting for the next one.
Thanks mate!! The next one is really funny!! :)
hongdae is in mapo-gu mate ... sinchon is in seodaemun! i realised the difference myself when i moved from yeonnam-dong just over the park to donggyo-dong. especially the main strip/playground, i.e. seogyo-dong. it's all mapoooo tofu. that long forest/book street park is basically the northern border of mapo/southern border of seodaemun. will be amazing if you can keep up the pace with these -gu videos! immense. this video was great, proper mixing with the locals!
I'll be moving to the park next week and staying in an air-bnb there for 9 days! the GU series is going viral mate!!
@@whereisdan hugely jealous. springtime on that park is such a special vibe!
@@aaroninky good viibes only!
This guy is a KMT plant, don’t listen to him @whereisdan
Love this series mate.
Thanks for watching and commenting!! :)
Top tier content 🏴☠️🫡🔥
cheers brother

That was my aim, educational yet silly.
Fabulous ✌️
Thanks for watching this video !! :D
Hahaha love the energy of the Ajoshis , very welcoming
HWAITING!!!!
Wow I just came across your channel and your quality of videos are amazing!! Subscribed and keep up the amazing work ❤️ best travel vlog I’ve ever seen
thanks very very much!!! Have you seen my other videos from the LET'S GU series?
@@whereisdan I’ve seen more than half of them.. definitely catching up to the rest
great!! thanks for watching :D@@calvinsim4860
i enjoy your videos. i dream of going to Korea, my homeland. i was born in america but i have never been.
i made videos in america and lots in korean
@@whereisdan I’ve been checking them out, I just haven’t commented. You should come to Portland,OR
감사함니다 for this beautiful video
neeeeeee
thanks for watching! :)
Damme everyone hates the tashes😂😂
oh well
Every day we learn something new. Today ive learned that in Korea drunk badminton is a thing. Today was a good day.
In Korea you do everything drunk.
a lot of those older areas were leftover after the korean war in the 50's, they're pretty old. Seoul and Korea in general is growing fast and there's no benefit of them continuing to be there and maintained.
i show a lot of these older areas in this series! Thanks for watching this episode mate :D
You should go to 서대문 형무소!
i've never been there! I will go when my mum comes!
@@whereisdan When does your mother come to KOREA?
@@happydrawing7309 on sunday!!
@@whereisdan Oh, this Sunday? In 6 days?
@@happydrawing7309 yes
Mate, your Korean became so good… did you study while gone?
I've been practicing here and there, if you want to learn a language you have to study!!
20:41 my bird is here 😂

4.21k getting there !
Slowly but surely!! :)
❤ my lad
Thanks for watching laddy!!! :)
Dude, those Korean grannies cuties were looking to ban g hope you got some.
They were i for a roasting if i stayed with them any longer and got more tipsy!! I would have spit roasted 3 of them at the same time.
No to Sim City. Old style Korea is the real Korea in my opinion.
You are back and I am Back. We missed you in South Korea. I truly believe South Korea is the answer for you. Somehow you are going to make it in South Korea, if you keep on trying.
Glad you're back MR BUSTED!! I have been waiting for your comments for more than a year!!! I will make it in South Korea, but life keeps pulling me in different directions!!
How come you don't stay in the area you like more. You seem to stay in the area that fuses growth
I love you and your videos by the way 🙂

Don't drink dongdong ju too much. It has notorious name, 앉은뱅이 술 which means the liquor would make you unable to stand on your feet
PERFECT!
