      "In Fact, Local Korean people do not purchase Street food in Myeong Dong. People who operate/sell there, majority of them are Chinese Workers and the foods are not really Korean Food. The prices are also a lot higher than normal because of foreign tourists who will pay for it to try. I do not recommend Street Food in Myeong Dong Area".

    I was thrilled to see the Cathedral!
    My father was in Korea during the war. I recently found his slide pictures from his time there and have been researching to identify the places he had been.
    So far I have found three places that I know where my father had been. This Cathedral is one them, and Namsan Hill.
    My father never talked about his time in Korea and sadly has passed.
    My plan now is continue to research and find the locations of my father's pictures. Then in Sept 2025, with my son, we will walk in my father's foot prints to re-create the same pictures that he took over 70 years ago.

      It's not all sunshine and rainbows though...yes the technology is great but there's more to life than that. It's the number one country for suicide...so not everything is great in Korea. Because you're a foreigner and not an actual Korean, you see/experience Korea differently.

    • @SunnySage122
      @SunnySage122 8 місяців тому +273

      @@Dima-xu2qw I understand your viewpoint. I agree that Koreans don't place the same expectations upon foreigners as they do upon other Koreans, so yes, that can cause both experiences to be different. As an American, I feel the same when people from other countries talk about how much they want to live in the U.S. because they love the show "Friends." Having lived in other countries outside of the U.S., I often feel so disappointed with how things are here, such as the gun violence, the woke politics, the health care system, and lack of safety. Gun violence is a big problem in America. The gun violence problem in America probably parallels the suicide problem in Korea. No country is perfect. America works for some and not others; same as Korea. I know many Koreans who've left Korea for their own personal reasons and that's okay. I think the goal is to live where we feel we can thrive best.

    11:47 that passerby stepping in out of nowhere to help you without you even asking for help is what I love about traveling to Korea. Their general attitude towards foreigners is more welcoming and open than other East Asian countries in my experience. Also, Korea, like Japan, does not have trash bins out in public. Best practice is to carry a small plastic bag with you to collect your day's trash and sort it properly when you get home.

    As an African American, I absolutely love South Korea. I don't understand how some of my people were a victim to racism? I personally haven't experienced any scrutiny or racism in Korea. It's an absolutely beautiful country and I really want to live there one day. An absolute dream city. I stayed a few nights in Gangnam-Daero which was my most memorable experience. The night life, the people, the aesthetics the FOOOD (oh my god the food) and the atmosphere was something out of a movie, very futuristic and gives cyberpunk vibes. They live in a completely different universe compared to here in America. I love Sotuth Korea so much!!!

      Most examples of racism cases I heard from foreign tourists are in fact not racism but misunderstanding the manners of Koreans. Of course there is racism in Korea, but it is subtle and it may happen at specific situations 😢
      some Koreans, especially older people, have rough manners (when they talk or act), and foreigners tend to interpret the rude behavior as racism, but I can tell those rude people are just rude people and behave that mean way even to Koreans. A lot of times they don’t even know their behavior is rude. 😅

      because Japan has govt owned subways and private company owned subways. It can be fucking expensive when you use private lines. Korean subway is pretty much flat fee. it takes 2 min for each station. So you know it will take 20 min for 10 stations. I'v never experienced a delay in my life because if it happens, it would be a national news and I bet employees will get fucked big time. Oh did I tell you it's a great place to fucking SLEEP? It's very chill during summer and very warm during winter. Everybody fucking sleeps. It's a magic you somehow wake up right before you have to get off! In other countries, people can't understand this concept like a caveman looking at the smartphone. They think I am lying if I talk about this WHY???? because in their country, people get robbed for sure if you sleep in the subway!

Koreans go out their way to make sure you feel welcome and have a good time. Always an amazing atmosphere wherever you are in the city.

    I'm Korean, but I've only been to Seoul once because I live in Busan!
    Like other comments, Seoul is incomparably more advanced than other cities and seems like a new world. Looking at the video, I miss the busy streets among the huge buildings🥹
    I hope many foreigners come to Busan and enjoy the night sea and drinking culture✨

    The reason why the platform was empty is that people normally take the express train to Seoul station. You took the normal subway which stops every station. Next time try express train to incheon airport it only stops at 2 stations. It costs a bit more but not that much

My favourites are the other staples Busan (plus some regions more inland), Incheon, and Jeju as well as other "lesser known" places like Yeosu, Gyeongji, Jeonju, Seoraksan Nat'l Park... all great gems.
    Edit: Also the subway systems (for places with one) are very nice. Clean, timely (most of the time anyway lol), and well organised.

    Hi Zane, welcome to Korea! During sunset or at night, visit DDP first and walk all the way up north to Naksan Park, following the Seoul fortress wall, leaving Heunginjimun (Dongdaemun, one of the eight gates of Seoul) behind. It's a beautiful and romantic place, which I highly recommend to try at night. Walk all the way to the observation deck 2 and descend towards Hyehwa-dong to get dinner and take subway. This is a very easy trail. Hope you enjoy. I love your videos!
    I believe what sets Seoul apart from other cities is its beautiful surrounding mountains, combined with the ease of access to them.
    Another hiking trail I highly recommend takes you to the summit of Inwangsan, following the path of the Seoul fortress wall (again^^). Along this trail, you'll be treated to a nice view of the cityscape and the opportunity to experience a bit of mountain hiking that Koreans love to do. Plan your hike during the daytime. I think the autumn season, with its clear skies, offers the ideal conditions to appreciate the natural beauty of Seoul. You can start the walk from the exit 3 of Dongnimmun subway station.
    Another suggestion is a visit to Seoul Sky, which is the tallest observatory in Korea. You may think it is just one of touristy places, but it's not! During the autumn season, when the skies are clear and visibility is at its best, it's a must-see destination! (If skies are gloomy and foggy, don't go) Make sure to visit during the daytime. And don't forget to take a stroll around Seokchon Lake at night. It's right next to Seoul Sky.

Sejong the Great had the script created specifically to make reading easier and replace chinese characters. Of course, you won't know what the words mean, but a lot of korean words come from english so you might understand more than you think! I highly recommend watching some youtube videos that teach you how to read this beautiful script.
