Very happy to be in Seoul 🙏Really love the vibes here so far! If you're new here feel free to subscribe and follow the journey, I am going to stay in Korea for a few weeks💪 Video of my arrival in Seoul ➡️ ruclips.net/video/JDPaNL8hab8/видео.htmlsi=v5Gd4d1cQUZxbI-a
I love your positive attitude and focus on the good things in your travel videos. They're really informative for anyone planning a trip. I already subscribed. Greetings from Japan!
2013, Namsan, Seoul: Bought a 2-way cable car ticket, went up. Went to N-Seoul Tower ticket booth, paid, got ticket. Left cable car ticket and wallet at the ticket booth. Went up, spent an hour up there, realized I didn't have my wallet or my ticket. Panicked. Looked all over. Thought about it a bit. Retraced my steps. Hmm, let me go ask the lady at the ticket booth, 하지만... 한국어를 잘 못해요. Nervous. Didn't even need to ask, everything was just there where I left it. No one took it. Loved Korea forever.
Welcome to S. Korea! People know it’s morally wrong and unethical😅 In my school years in Korea in middle school, I had to learn ethics as a subject too 😆
Korea and china from what I know if people find something they will either try to return to you if they saw it was yours or they will leave it where they found it. In China it's the same and there's always the cameras.
I love how natural your tour videos are! Keen to observe and analyze cultural differences, embracing the vibes, not afraid to try out new things. Being curious to learn about the local lifestyle & interacting with locals... all in a very polite and calm manner! Many travel vloggers should take notes.
@@KenAbroad I personally also really appreciate that you dont feel the need to insert a montage every 3 minutes thats blasting way too loud royalty free music. So much more immersive to hear the city sounds. Sometimes less is more.
The yellow thing that you ate alongside the dumplings is called pickle radish. Seoul🇰🇷 it's a wonderful city I just came back from Seoul two months ago. I would love to go back there again ❤. Enjoy your time in korea Ken 😊
Get a T-Money card. It's so convenient to have one. You can use it for transport (metro, bus, taxi, airport shuttle, etc.) and to pay for stuff. You can always refund the balance before you fly out.
Hi~ do you have a good time in korea~? 😅 and if you go to beautiful port city Busan..I recommend you mt. 황령산 for the beautiful panoramic view of Busan ^^ ( especially at night!!) There is a cafe at the top of mt.황령산 and always many people there...good luck~😅😅
I'm a Korean. I'm enjoying the video. In Korea, it is legal to wear military uniform! And the supermarket shown at 33:42 is a small supermarket in Korea. A large supermarket in Korea is about the size of IKEA. If you have time, I recommend going to Seoraksan Mountain. It's very beautiful and there's a cable car so you can easily hike up there. If you go to Seoraksan Mountain, I recommend visiting downtown Sokcho, which is 20 minutes away. Sokcho is a representative summer resort in Korea where you can see the clean sea. Do you like looking at the stars? If you like it, please see the stars at ‘Seoraksan Ulsan Rock Milky Way Point’. It is Korea's representative star observation site, and you can photograph the Milky Way along with Mt. Seorak with a camera. Have a nice trip! I'll comment again!!
5:00 yessss!!! 한국의 10대 학생들은 학교 시험이 끝나면 한강에 가서 휴식을 취하고, 대학생들은 봄, 여름, 가을에 피크닉을 자주 합니다. 특히 벚꽃이 피는 봄에는 사람이 정말 많아요! 직장인들도 평일에 퇴근하고 저녁이나 주말에 한강에서 산책 또는 운동을 자주 합니다. 한강은 매우 로컬적인 장소입니다:)
You may want to look into those language apps /devices that translates to make communicating easier. It's nice that you really try to showcase the local vibe.
If you go south to the Busan area, as a German yourself, you might want to visit "The German Village" (독일마을). It is located in the southern archipelago. Here you can get some German beer and also visit a small museum showing how Koreans used to go to Germany to work. The village is really like if you are in Germany. If you go there, please say "Hello" from me to the owner of the German Bakery House (독일 빵집) further down on the main street "Dogil-ro" .
Singil Station, where your hotel is located, has a complicated train station. In Hamburg, Germany, it is the intersection of Yuban and Svan. Mainly the ground-based trains and underground units are complicated to get out of the basement because of train transfers.
The Metro station is impressive. The grilled pork looks yummy. Trying the dumplings next makes me want to hve some too😄 The t-shirt fits u well. Thnks for the supermarket tour. The sunset view ends yr video beautifully. 👍 Waiting for yr next video.
@@孙慷what? I'm Korean and I've never heard such nonsense. Your nickname uses Chinese characters, so why are you pretending to be Korean and saying strange things?
I love seeing your uploads Ken! You carry a very down to earth, non-judgamental energy with you so it's very enjoyable to see you travel to different countries.
Yup its a small typhical local supermarket. And.. usually, PC rooms like that are often illegal gambling houses 😂 And I'll definitely recommend the War Memorial of Korea. It'll be interesting. You will never regret
Yes, that's a typical local neighborhood supermarket. Korea doesn't have discount grocery stores like Aldi or Lidl, but you can get the best deals for fruit and veg at local street markets.
The price is much expensive than that in China😂，especially the fruits😂.As a Chinese, I support Ken, and I love south korea, friendly people ❤Ken,pls remember we are always waiting for your back.❤ 🇩🇪🇨🇳🇰🇷world peace🎉
Please visit other parts of Seoul - there are so many cool places to visit. Samcheong-dong area behind the Gyeongbokgung Palace and Hanok village feature very clean, organized blend of old and new architectures.... you can sip traditional coffee and eat rice cakes at these places with scenic views. There is also a Samsung district in Seoul (LOL), along with the financial districts in Yeouido (known for a really modern mall called The Hyundai). The other upscale area is near cheongdam-dong and apgujeong rodeo area where you can really get a glimpse into how local Koreans with means live. There are also huge chain convenience stores like E-marts and Lotte marts that are way bigger and much more organized than this hole-in-the-place you ran into... and there are also new, up-and-coming hipster areas such as Seongsu Cafe area (many young Korean couples here), Hannam Cafe area (with many celebrity sightings), of course Gangnam/CoEx Mall area, Seoul Forest, Hongdae (huge uni party/artsy area), etc, etc. Every neighborhood in Seoul looks and feels different. It looks like you toured mostly the touristy and older, run-down areas of Seoul so far... and it's actually kinda interesting that the kind ladies towards the end of the video that helped you are not even sk locals but tourists from Southeast Asia lol. Cheers, mate!
Another interesting sightseeing in Seoul, every city has their own charm.God bless your kind heart to return to the vendor just to buy that little souvenir flag from him.Gamsahabnida Ken for taking us along and looking forward to the next one.Greetings from.Malaysia!!💕🇲🇾
When communicating to non-English speaking people, it'd be best to speak to them in simple broken English with key words rather than asking them in complete sentences as you're making it more complicated for them to understand you. And also small talks/joking with these people make them uneasy as they don't understand you so again, keep your conversation simple or just show gestures and/or use simple words in their language. If you keep speaking in full sentences in English and they don't understand you, you're stressing/annoying them and they'll just disregard/avoid you.
That’s true. Before going to Japan, I watched some travel videos and one of Japanese RUclipsrs said Japanese understand English but keep simple, just use one word to ask what you want. That tip was very helpful.
1. There is a huge supermarket at Seoul station. 2. I highly suggest visiting the small Tongin market, you buy chips that allow you to buy at the various food stalls. At lunchtime, school children fill the place, lovely. 3. Make sure to take a walk along the old city wall: Either on the west, perhaps up Inwangsan Mt (339m) or in the east near Ihwa Mural village, North of Dongdaemun.
Namdaemoon(south gate) is No.1 National treasure. Namdaemun Market is a traditional market that is hundreds of years old. It is old, not standardized, or has many imitations. There are many cheap things, many rare things, and if u r lucky, you can find treasures.
You're so sweet! Going back to the uncle's store and buying something from him. I thought it was so funny for him to just rip the flag off the bag and sell it to you. You also ate an entire family's portion of pork neck (moksal) at the beach :) You're right that the PC signs are internet cafes. Korea has a huge online gaming culture so people would go there to game!
@@josephinejohnson9526 Casino business must be licensed, of course, the gambling hall you saw is tricky. It's PC game gambling and cash must not be used but there are exchange houses illegally, I heard. In Korea, casino is for foreigners, basically and there are a couple of places for local as I know.

Twice now I’ve brought big suitcases and got in trouble with the stairs. In Europe and India! I always watch videos like yours when going to travel and take trains and busses and metro…thank you for showing this.

I can sense your sincerity when you visit the different countries and like how adventurous you are to trying new experiences. Love your authenticity! Safe travels and enjoy Asia!😃
Markets are cool for visitors but I prefer going to the food court at the major department stores (Shinsegae, Hyundai, Lotte). A lot of food options to choose from and they usually have hypermarkets and dessert shops too. Korean cuisine is ever growing and changing unlike many other cuisines that prefer to stay in the orthodox or the "right" way, and it embraces everything from traditional to modern. It is also one of few cuisines that leaves not much waste. Every part of an entire animal is used from head to bones. The core of Korean cuisine is the seasonal wild vegetables & herbs (나물) and fermented sauces (장). If you want something really authentic, try out some of those restaurants that serve traditional course meals and temple food.
Having lived in korea for a while its actually quite rare for cars to stop at zebra crossings unless theres a red light. Japan is different, the cars will always stop even without a red light
Fun video, and you did a good job navigating for a 1st time visit! The metro card I think you returned at the subway was the T-money card. T-money card can be used for almost all forms of transport (taxis, subway, train, bus), and to pay for food/goods in convenience stores like GS25 for example.
Hi, Seoul Station (4) at 09:29 simply reminds you of the name of the current station you're at. It probably says (4) in parentheses because it's specifically the Line 4 platform of Seoul Station. You refer to screens that hang from the ceiling to check the arrival time!
Hi Ken...you can easily use Google Translate from English/German to Korean or any language you prefer. Also, the camera function is very useful to read signs...that's my go to app to communicate just ensure you have internet connection. Enjoy!
33:46 The size is about average for a neighborhood supermarket. However, with so many convenience stores around and the convenience of same-day grocery delivery, it feels like you only find them in older neighborhoods now.
I was in Seoul during Christmas, super cold weather, the Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup samgyetang hit the throat perfectly, I will still rate it my favourite food from Korea 🤤
가신 슈퍼마켓은 할인마켓이라고 일반적인 제품뿐만 아니라 재래시장에서 판매할 법한 것들도 섞어 파는 곳이에요. 가신 동네가 남대문에서 명동 가는 길 같은데 재래시장 근처 상업 동네라서요. 주거지역 일반적인 슈퍼는 롯데슈퍼, GS슈퍼 등 있고, 롯데마트나 이마트, 홈플러스 등 마트가 대형마트입니다.
Very good info. My wife and I are going to Korea in Oct. She is Korean but has not been there in over 10 years i was station in the Army there in 1976 1979 and 1983 all DMZ we are going south and southeast no DMZ for me been there and done that😃
Hello I’m citizen of Seoul. Your video is awesome! I think all places where you visited is all good local place! And I think that these supermarket prices will help other travellers.
Enjoy all! My first experience with underground mall was in Taipei where one of the stores reminded me of a Walmart Superstore selling everything! Sunset---looks like a LOT of pollution! Nice vid, as usual.
Korea is known for expensive fruits prices😅 It will be helpful to understand if you show the price in Korea with the price in Germany. I'd love to see a price differences between two countries :-) Since Seoul is so big and old, every neighborhood has its own atmosphere and charm, and it almost feels like you're in a diffrent city. Hope you have a wonderful and safe trip in Korea😊
Its funny to hear him say the 1.5 litre of Gatorade is a huge bottle. Here in America, Coke drinks are sold in 2 litre and 3 litre bottles. To us, 2 litre bottle is the normal size coffee
Second...oneday fortress wall hiking ( beautiful panoramic views all the time..) starting point is 한성대입구 subway station (the 4 line) 6 exit, and from there go to the 성북 elementary school...that's a starting point of fortress wall hiking ^^ So early morning, Prepare water, sports shoes, food, sunblock cream ..go to the top of mt.백악산 ^^ you can see the real beauty of Seoul *^^* good luck ~

Hi, Seoul Station (4) at 09:29 simply reminds you of the name of the current station you're at. It probably says (4) in parentheses because it's specifically the Line 4 platform of Seoul Station. You refer to screens that hang from the ceiling to check the arrival time!
1:42 헐? artbeat팀 같은데? artbeat는 한국 최고의 dancecover팀 입니다.
Hi Ken...you can easily use Google Translate from English/German to Korean or any language you prefer. Also, the camera function is very useful to read signs...that's my go to app to communicate just ensure you have internet connection. Enjoy!
If you want a more typical supermarket experience, either go to E-Mart of Lotte Mart where they carry a lot more items.
Your Vlogs Are Awesome
Love From India 🇮🇳
Great to see how much you like being in S Korea, Ken!

Hello Ken 🥰 Enjoy Your New Adventure 🥰 Thank You For Sharing 🥰 Watching from Toronto 🥰🇨🇦
Greetings to Toronto😊
33:46 The size is about average for a neighborhood supermarket. However, with so many convenience stores around and the convenience of same-day grocery delivery, it feels like you only find them in older neighborhoods now.
Really amazing city. Thx for the video
Love this video a lot, beautiful city !!
my favorite travel blogger!
Appreciate it 🙏
Ken your video's are amazing 😍😊😊😊
thank you!😊
I was in Seoul during Christmas, super cold weather, the Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup samgyetang hit the throat perfectly, I will still rate it my favourite food from Korea 🤤
가신 슈퍼마켓은 할인마켓이라고 일반적인 제품뿐만 아니라 재래시장에서 판매할 법한 것들도 섞어 파는 곳이에요. 가신 동네가 남대문에서 명동 가는 길 같은데 재래시장 근처 상업 동네라서요. 주거지역 일반적인 슈퍼는 롯데슈퍼, GS슈퍼 등 있고, 롯데마트나 이마트, 홈플러스 등 마트가 대형마트입니다.
Nice Jersey there Ken, :-) , Germany V Scotland today (Friday, 14th /6/24) Euro Cup 2024. I do walking football as my exercise here in England.

Coffee doesn't work either. 8:30

Ken you are too nice.
Hello I’m citizen of Seoul.
Your video is awesome!
I think all places where you visited is all good local place!
And I think that these supermarket prices will help other travellers.
Loved the video! A good supermarket to visit is Lotte Mart (at Seoul Station).
Enjoy all! My first experience with underground mall was in Taipei where one of the stores reminded me of a Walmart Superstore selling everything! Sunset---looks like a LOT of pollution! Nice vid, as usual.
Korea is known for expensive fruits prices😅
It will be helpful to understand if you show the price in Korea with the price in Germany. I'd love to see a price differences between two countries :-)
Since Seoul is so big and old, every neighborhood has its own atmosphere and charm, and it almost feels like you're in a diffrent city.
Hope you have a wonderful and safe trip in Korea😊
Its funny to hear him say the 1.5 litre of Gatorade is a huge bottle. Here in America, Coke drinks are sold in 2 litre and 3 litre bottles. To us, 2 litre bottle is the normal size coffee
The deposit is for the plastic ticket which I haven't seen in any other countries I have visited so far.
Yeah for saving environment and earth.
@@유리장수 What about putting it just into a checkout machine without extra effort？ This is a common practice in many other countries.
