I've been to JeonJu when I visited Korea about 3 years ago. It is a beautiful place! I don't know where you are but you should try to visit one of Green Tea plantations in Boseong; definitely worth it!
Wow, in business since 1952! That's amazing. And that food....wow. That's incredible that the sauce was fermented for 70 years 😱😱😱 You guys are really making us want to travel to Asia next year! Great content as usual. Thank you for sharing with us!
Now you need that hangover soup I mentioned. Go to the market in the morning to r grab one. You might see some of those guys from the bar the other night.
The 막걸리(its pronounced mak-geol-li) you tasted is actually Korean beer like light alcohol, usually made from rice ( but not always). The variety you had actually has live probiotics in it, while the stuff you get at supermarkets usually has those killed off, to preserve it for a longer period. From the base 막걸리 you can make traditional rice wine and distill it to make traditional soju ( not the cheap green ones you get at supermarkets but ones that are made in the traditional way). Jeonju, the town you are at (한옥마을), actually has a museum devoted to Korean traditional alcohols and you can purchase alcohols there you can’t usually get at supermarkets in Korea. You might want to check it out. Try the 이강주 (lee gang ju), another alcohol only made in the Jeonju region, its really good (about 25%alcohol).
Thank you for the context! We did not know this stuff could be distilled into soju 😯 We were told this stuff was about 12% alcohol, so still quite strong for beer!
@@OnePackWanderers Makgeolli is the base for all Korean alcohols, from rice wine to soju, at least the traditional ones. Korean wine is usually filtered makgeolli, depending on how you make it. Its just that traditional alcohol is usually not available at supermarkets, although they can be bought online and some select shops. If you want to purchase some before going to your next destination, I can provide some addresses of places in Seoul where you can purchase.

In general, there are two reasons to go sightseeing in Jeonju. Korean traditional food. However, there are various ways and procedures for Korean food. For example, makgeolli should shake the bottle and then fill the glass. And you have to wrap tofu and meat in kimchi and eat it at once. Most Koreans know this order. It's sad if the restaurant didn't explain this. 2-Jeonju is famous for Hanok Village. It is a common course to look around Hanok Village wearing hanbok. Because the village is big, I rent a small cart and look around. It is mainly a course for foreign tourists or young couples. Mural village is just a cute mural. Hahaha... Korea is not a place to enjoy cheap prices like Southeast Asia, and it is not a place to expect something extreme in the city. Experience traditional Korean culture such as Jeonju, Gyeongju, shopping and city tour in big cities such as Seoul, Busan and Incheon, or experience nature such as Gangwon, Jeju, and Ulleungdo. Anyway, I hope you two have a good trip
I agree. Korea is the most expensive country in Asia along with Japan. It is difficult to expect proper service if go to cheap accommodation and restaurants. It's sad if the restaurant they went to didn't explain how to eat properly. Customer service would have been different even if went to a restaurant above the intermediate level. Anyway, I feel that their atmosphere is different from that of Vietnam... I hope they experienced various cafe culture, night culture, and shopping culture in Korea when they were in Seoul or Busan...
@@acatinthesnow2294 Some tourists said that Korea is a country where women would like more than men. Now that I think about it, I think that's right. Cute cafes, shopping, pretty fashion, safe night parties... If want to enjoy adventure, should go to the mountains or the sea, not the big city. Korea is 70% mountainous and surrounded by the sea
We ended up figuring out the part about shaking the makgeolli 😅 Definitely aware of dressing up in hanbok, but that’s just not for us, we are content walking and admiring the Hanok Village (we stayed in an old house there).
@@OnePackWanderers You may be tired from too many explanations and demands. But Any country can only hope that their culture is properly known properly. To be honest, the appearance at the restaurant was as shocking as eating a hamburger separately, patty, and lettuce separately! Haha.. I will refer to the comments, but I hope you don't get too stressed and enjoy the trip as much
Thanks for showing you mixing bibimbap. People here can finally become comfortable watching it lol I hope not so many people tell you guys what to do. I sometimes eat bibimbap without mixing it, and it tastes good.
Yeah, but not the best way to enjoy it because when the Gochujang source and all other ingredients mixed evenly well, that’s the beauty of the Bibimbap’s tastes. However, if you want small portion, stronger taste, or more veges and less rice, etc., you can mix some of the portion with more/less Gochujang but the point is a little bit of all ingredients need to be mixed.
We love poke so much! Shockingly, we have decent poke in MN (not as good as Hawaii, of course). Those bibimbap rice bowls look delicious! We were relieved that Tia didn't spill her ice cream popsicle on her white shirt. 😂😂😂
Before leaving Jeonju, must try "Hanjungshik". Han= Korean Jungshik= formal meal or full course meal. Jeonju is the birth place of Korean classic meal.
Happy to find that you tried the famous Jun-ju BiBimBob. And even you got it the royal raw meat version too! To enjoy "more",,, you will have to set your mind to ummm 100 years past? At back then,,, What a treat it was! (Yes, the red chili paste got sweeter and it changed a bit as people's taste changes but still great!) Anyway, Isn't it great that you don't have tip every time/where you go?! ^^b #KoreaIsTheBest Best regards, NangE
Love this. Will be traveling to Jeonju soon. Would love to see the mural. Where is the mural located? Staying at the Best Western Plus Jeonju. Possibly near this hotel? Thanks & looking forward to viewing more.
The mural village is a short walk from the Hanok Village of Jeonju, a place you will most likely visit when you're there! Once you're in the area, a local will point you in the right direction if you ask about the mural village. Have fun in Jeonju! 😊

Had to subscribe your channel. Great videos and great to see you guys liking the places. The reactions to foods are great. I came to the States long ago and I miss how it was in Korea, and its like little taste of home. Thank you for all the work. Hope you guys enjoy Korea.
Thanks for introducing Korea😁👍Why don’t you try Korean traditional wears, Han-Bok on? I recommend it strongly and I am sure it will give u a special moments😁
Hi Tia 😊 The yellow jelly is called Cheongpomuk. It made by Mung Bean starch and color is from gardenia seeds. In the past it was used as a feast food because it's quite difficult to make and good way to take a protein. Unfortunately It doesn't have any taste So usually we eat that with sauce Poor English 😭
Excellent English to explain CheongPoMuk I ever seen!!! Great job! Perfect! Fun fact, the CheongPoMuk is quite a rare food so the Kings and Queens enjoyed it as a delight on their food. Imagine a bright royal goldy yellow thing mixed with green and red on your dinner table at back then. C? ^^b
Indeed. Korea is much more calm and sterile in comparison to SEA, and I think that definitely comes through in the videos. We miss it too, in some ways! But after 8 months in SEA, it was time to move on (for now, we will certainly go back).
I think it would be awesome if every country I went to when I order that the staff in restaurant would explain how to pronounce the dishes and how to eat them like a local! It's very difficult to know how to pronounce their words but we try our best. I often wish they would provide their recommendations too for us to try as most restaurants have a signature dish.
watching your guys make me want to visit Korea....even though the town look like sleepy town....ohh I thought the cup is for washing your hand before & after meals😂😂😂😂
A combination of Airbnb and Agoda 🙂 One thing to keep in mind, is that hotel prices tend to go up by as much as 2-3x on Fridays and Saturdays in Korea.
i couldn't agree with this two lovely , beautiful positive duo more , when we visit any place , we find reasonable affordable and hygienic places and enjoy the food and from there wonderland begins 😂
14:32 Original statement: "The wine just kept tasting better and better." Translation: "I'm drunk." BTW, the sign at the entrance of the market read "Night Market" such that the night should be the right time to visit the market. At that time, there would be a lot of street food and a big crowd in the market. Those traditional markets are similar to bazaars. I think people would prefer to go to department stores or Target-like stores to buy their household items.
Good translation 😂😅 The markets seem to be dying out in favor of department stores. We like the markets more but I think it's because it is new to us. I'm sure department stores are more convenient.
This city is very nice to hang around. Very peaceful and great food. Another innformation: Daegu for food^^ Maybe most of foods are from Daegu. Especiallyyyy,,, all franchises. If u visit here... U may see very variety cultures
I really like your videos. The video editing is very time consuming, and I guess it might be quite stressful for you guys because you are doing all the stuff - filming, editing and etc. There are a lot of 오지라퍼 (OJIRAPER, it means meddler) in Korea. (I am a Korean, too. But it’s true) They are friendly, but sometimes going too far. I think you don’t have to pay so much attention to them. If you don’t go famous place and restaurant, it would be totally fine. Your travels have something special, as just they are.
Thank you, it was nice to read that 😊 I think most people are just trying to be helpful. Everyone's culture is different. Where we are from, it does not matter so much how one eats their food. In our country, it is considered personal preference. In Korea it seems to matter much more. We are learning, at least 😅 I just hope people don't feel offended by us.
Random question, what nationality are you Tia? Enjoying your videos and fairly new subscriber based on your Korean videos. FYI both of your chopsticks skills are to be commended!
Wow !! so great trip !!! I watched your full vedio , I have a place to recommend a trip to Jeollado. "The Jinan Maisan Tapsa Temple [진안 마이산 탑사] and "Buan Gyeokpo Chae Seok-gang Rias coast Beach [ 부안 격포 채석강 리아스식 해안 ] are also great places in North Jeolla Province. The Jinan Maisan Tapsa Temple is a 30 minute bus ride from Jeonju, which is a relatively close distance. The numerous stone pagodas in Tapsa Temple in Maisan represent the " Eumyang-Oh-haeng[ 음양오행] "of Korea and are the most unique, mysterious, and beautiful temples in Korea. The Jinan Maisan Tapsa temple is so famous overseas that it is listed in the British tourist guidebook Lonely Planet. If you have chance ,I hope you to travel Jinan Maisan Tapsa Temple. In the case of Jinan Maisan, it is a destination that Western Europeans and foreigners would love to visit. There is a very mysterious and beautiful temple[ 탑사]. I wish you all the best.
Hi! thanks for the video! As a Korean, I rather recommend visiting Yeosu, Namhae or Kyungju instead of Jeonju (Not sure why many tourists visit Jeonju as it is pretty sleepy nothing much to do or to see city) Or JIri Mountain area, Korea is the best in Fall/Autumn (Mid October) as many gingko and maple trees are abundant, Believe me!
just to add... you have to use spoon to mix bibimpop... most foreigners use chopstick. But that will not mix really well on all the different seasonings. If you'll be eating bibimpop again, be sure to use spoon ^^
🤔 Is it redundant for Koreans to have Bibimbap then more banchan automatically served on the side when there's usually more than enough salty banchan in the Bibimbap already? And please, thoroughly learn the proper pronunciations of foreign names, phrases, and places first then just say them aloud with confidence! 😉
Bibimbab is origin of poke Because when japan invaded korea many korean forced to move to Japan and do the hard work and later, when Japanese moved to Hawaii they got idea from it they selling poke in Hawaii
Poke actually has origins predating Japanese contact with Hawaii. Japan influenced modern poke, but Hawaiians were eating a poke-like dish for a long time (I used to live there so I learned about it).
참견이 많다고 볼 수도 있지만, 솔직히 대부분은 도와주려는 의견들이고, 간혹 지나친 거 빼고는 그냥 안타까워서 그러는거죠. 이분들 처음 서울에 왔을때 어떤 아줌마한테 공격받은 이후 한국분들이 엄청 안타까워 했거든요. 그래서 여러모로 신경이 더 쓰이는 겁니다. 그리고 또 다른 이유는 영상을 보는 다른 외국인들에게 제대로 알려주려는 이유도 있고요. 뭐 간혹 지나치게 간섭하는 댓글 빼곤 다들 도와주고 설명해주려는 마인드로 보임
You need to eat pork, kimchi together or kimchi with tofu together to get a real taste. If you learn little bid of Korean ways, you'll enjoy more of food and places. It seems you guys are just exploring without knowing the ways which makes it hard to really enjoy. It's about how to eat rather than just tasting individually.
My Korean friend says Koreans don't order bi bim bap. They take home the bon chon and leftovers and make their own at home, just cook rice. Kind of makes sense...🤔
There’s no way you guys are that lovey dovey in real life. My gf is jealous of your relationship. But I know better. It’s all for show, right ? I think you guys prob have real dirty arguments. I know after a weekend away with my gf, I come back questioning our relationship. Haha. Anyway, I’m a fan ! Keep up the positive attitude! Bravo !
Ha! Of course we fight like any couple. But we also don't put on a show for the camera. I'm sure you and your girlfriend have a great relationship, the sweet moments just probably aren't caught on camera so it's not as obvious. As for traveling and not getting sick of each other. We worked together for a couple years before going on this trip, so we were lucky enough to figure out how to be around each other 24/7 a while ago 😂
Because your girlfriend is Japanese-American, she pronounce the name of the food in Japanese way. But it's not polite to Korean/Korean food. Please pronounce the correct food name. You can ask the staff at the restaurant. It's not "MAGURO". And "Chili" is pronounced "Gochujang."...... It's a basic courtesy.

As a Korean, I really wanted to say sorry to you guys. Some people here are hostile to the Japanese due to colonialism; we almost lost our culture as Japan forced assimilation and resources were exploited from my country (also still politically hostile in recent days). However, I know you have done nothing wrong to my country (actually you guys are advertising my country with excellent videos) and that lady was the wrong person (being rude to strangers just because of heritage). I am sorry again that you met this rude lady at your first time in Seoul. This must be the worst impression but I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Korea. I wanted to tell you guys that there are a bunch of crazy people in Korea (to be honest) but there are more nice people who would like to help your journey. And I know this also applies to other countries like Japan; the majority of us want to make the world a better place even while some people don't help with that. I don't know how much time you guys will stay in Korea but I recommend some places (they are a good place to visit in summer) [Chuncheon] (where my grandparents live) - Nice local foods (Makguksu, Dak-galbi, Potato Bread, etc) - Beautiful nature (City is located between a mountain and liver; Samaksan Cable Car; Nami Island) - Many places to visit (Gangchon Rail Park; Cheongpyeongsa; Korean Anime Museum; Soyanggang Skywalk; Legoland) [Busan] (largest port city) - Gamcheon Culture Village; Haeundae; Seogbulsa; Beomeosa - Best seafood [Jeju] (Koreans' favorite tour place in Korea) - Shallow sea water; Hyeopjae Beach (best place to swim in Korea) - Manjanggul Cave; Udo, Jeju Stone Park; Hallasan; - Local foods like Jeju citrus and Jeju Black pig Lastly, I am really enjoying your videos. I see you guys are experienced in selecting nice places to visit and delicious food to eat. And I love your honest and funny reaction to my culture. I have only seen the Korea part so far but I will also watch other videos as it is one of my bucket lists to travel all around the world just with a guitar and I think I can learn a lot from your videos.
First off I just want to say, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and sincere comment. Even though we are two days late in replying, it was very nice seeing this comment. We wholeheartedly agree with your first paragraph. You phrased it very well. Most people are good. We have learned that a thousand times over during our travels and we continue to see that all over the place in Korea 😊 Thank you very much for the recommendations as well. We will visit as many of these places as we can while we're in Korea. Can I ask, is a car advised in Jeju? Our one trepidation about visiting Jeju is that our international licenses recently expired so we would not be able to rent a car. I hope you get to travel with your guitar! It is the best decision we have ever made!
You guys are having a hard time making videos. Because there is not much to see and enjoy in Korean tourist attractions. Korean tourist attractions are full of similar services provided by people who flock to make money. 😎
We are having fun. I think many of the people that watch these videos have been taken off guard because traveling in a country like Korea is a much different process than traveling by motorbike in a place like Vietnam. One is much more adventure-oriented so it's an adjustment, for sure.
One Pack Wanderers~~^^Thank you for the great video. I have one question." Jeonju Hyanggyo(전주향교)" and "Omokdae(오목대)" are the flowers of Jeonju Hanok Village, so why don't you go? Jeonjuhyanggyo Local Confucian School(전주향교) has a very long history and is famous as a Korean drama filming site, and the ginkgo tree that is more than hundreds of years old is impressive. "Omokdae (오목대)" has a very long history, too, and there is an observatory where you can see the whole Jeonju Hanok Village. It would be a great pity not to visit there~~^^ I hope you have a wonderful trip to Korea~~^^

Those little dishes are blanchan (not how you spell it) but basically it’s complementary side dishes. Most places will refill them.

I often wish they would provide their recommendations too for us to try as most restaurants have a signature dish.
If we can find a worker who speaks English, we usually ask what their favorite dish is! It's so nice to get local recommendations!
4:51 Hahaha as a korean, this is why I was so confused and glad at the same time at my first encounter with poke in the UK
Glad we’re not the only ones that saw the similarity 🙂 It’s much easier to find poke than bimbimbap abroad, I’d imagine?
I like you guys so much, I don’t skip commercials!
watching your guys make me want to visit Korea....even though the town look like sleepy town....ohh I thought the cup is for washing your hand before & after meals😂😂😂😂
2:45 If we ever needed evidence of how CUTE Tia is...
Love your ventures in Korea! How and where did you find hotels and traditional lodgings for so cheap?
A combination of Airbnb and Agoda 🙂 One thing to keep in mind, is that hotel prices tend to go up by as much as 2-3x on Fridays and Saturdays in Korea.
I'm addicted to makgeolli (banana flav) and having it with and goes well with pajeon...
Ah man, banana flavored makgeolli? We gotta try that!
i couldn't agree with this two lovely , beautiful positive duo more , when we visit any place , we find reasonable affordable and hygienic places and enjoy the food and from there wonderland begins 😂

Original statement: "The wine just kept tasting better and better."
Translation: "I'm drunk."
BTW, the sign at the entrance of the market read "Night Market" such that the night should be the right time to visit the market. At that time, there would be a lot of street food and a big crowd in the market. Those traditional markets are similar to bazaars. I think people would prefer to go to department stores or Target-like stores to buy their household items.
Good translation 😂😅
The markets seem to be dying out in favor of department stores. We like the markets more but I think it's because it is new to us. I'm sure department stores are more convenient.
Hangook Jip means Korea House.
Mackerell (?) we dont eat it in north Norway. We throw it out again. That food looks good tho.
That's very interesting! What kind of fish is most popular in Norway? In the US, we get a lot of salmon from Norway.
@@OnePackWanderers salmon is good. maybe cod is most popular. think so
Mock-goal-lee is traditional rice wine.
Happy travelling in south korea..i am ur fan from jakarta..btw what type of microfon you use when making the vlog???
Hello to Indonesia! We use the DJI wireless mic setup 🙂
Welcome to jeonju.
You guys are living the life!!!!🍻🍶
This city is very nice to hang around.
Very peaceful and great food.
Another innformation: Daegu for food^^
Maybe most of foods are from Daegu. Especiallyyyy,,, all franchises.
If u visit here... U may see very variety cultures
Am going to Korea son and I would like to try the last place on the video where you eat . Can you writte the name for me? Thnxxx
I need healing.
JEONJU I want to go on a trip.
I really like your videos. The video editing is very time consuming, and I guess it might be quite stressful for you guys because you are doing all the stuff - filming, editing and etc.
There are a lot of 오지라퍼 (OJIRAPER, it means meddler) in Korea. (I am a Korean, too. But it’s true)
They are friendly, but sometimes going too far.
I think you don’t have to pay so much attention to them.
If you don’t go famous place and restaurant, it would be totally fine.
Your travels have something special, as just they are.
Thank you, it was nice to read that 😊
I think most people are just trying to be helpful. Everyone's culture is different. Where we are from, it does not matter so much how one eats their food. In our country, it is considered personal preference. In Korea it seems to matter much more. We are learning, at least 😅
I just hope people don't feel offended by us.
👏👏👏l love yours smiles
before covid actually there a lot people there
Makgeolli is pronounced like "mock gully"
Makgeoli is pronounced “Mahk-Kuh-Lee”. Close! And to cheers is, “Guhm Bae” lol
Man, we really struggled over that word 😂 Thanks for the correction!
오지랖은 계속된다 ~~
하나하나 다 완벽하게 즐기고 먹길 바라는 한국인들의 조급함이 되려 외국여행객들에겐 스트레스일듯~
We are not really sure what happened with all these comments 😅 But hopefully we did not offend anyone.

😂😅
@2:50 she's so funny 🤣
The best fish I had, was in Japan. It was Katsuo (bonito) which I believe is a Mackerel.
Japan has a very strong seafood game.
Random question, what nationality are you Tia? Enjoying your videos and fairly new subscriber based on your Korean videos. FYI both of your chopsticks skills are to be commended!
Glad we pass the chopstick test 😎
Tia is Japanese-American.
tha mixing bibimbap scene was some passive aggressive gold! hahaha I laughed so hard.
Hahaha we had fun with it, glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully no one was too offended 😅
Any vegan restaurants in the area
We haven't seen any personally, but it is pretty easy to find animal-free bibimbap.
Thank you. I am also very allergic to shell fish.
Wow !! so great trip !!! I watched your full vedio , I have a place to recommend a trip to Jeollado. "The Jinan Maisan Tapsa Temple [진안 마이산 탑사] and "Buan Gyeokpo Chae Seok-gang Rias coast Beach [ 부안 격포 채석강 리아스식 해안 ] are also great places in North Jeolla Province. The Jinan Maisan Tapsa Temple is a 30 minute bus ride from Jeonju, which is a relatively close distance. The numerous stone pagodas in Tapsa Temple in Maisan represent the " Eumyang-Oh-haeng[ 음양오행] "of Korea and are the most unique, mysterious, and beautiful temples in Korea. The Jinan Maisan Tapsa temple is so famous overseas that it is listed in the British tourist guidebook Lonely Planet. If you have chance ,I hope you to travel Jinan Maisan Tapsa Temple. In the case of Jinan Maisan, it is a destination that Western Europeans and foreigners would love to visit. There is a very mysterious and beautiful temple[ 탑사]. I wish you all the best.
Thank you so much for the recommendations 😊
님들아 여행 유투버들한테 이래라 저래라 훈수좀 적당히 두세요 댓글보면 뻔히 비벼먹으라고 이미 수십개 달려있는데 뭐 대단한거라고 거기다가 또 쓰고 또 쓰고.. 이 악물고 비벼드시네 ㅠㅠ
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Hi! thanks for the video! As a Korean, I rather recommend visiting Yeosu, Namhae or Kyungju instead of Jeonju (Not sure why many tourists visit Jeonju as it is pretty sleepy nothing much to do or to see city) Or JIri Mountain area, Korea is the best in Fall/Autumn (Mid October) as many gingko and maple trees are abundant, Believe me!
Come to Ulsan. I recommend temple stay at Tongdosa Temple
Thank you for the recommendation. A temple stay would be very nice 😊
You don't mix the side dishes. You eat a little of each side dish along with your rice.
Thanks for the info 😊
side dishes--banchan
just to add... you have to use spoon to mix bibimpop... most foreigners use chopstick. But that will not mix really well on all the different seasonings. If you'll be eating bibimpop again, be sure to use spoon ^^
취향차이고 답은 없어요. 오히려 젓가락이 밥을 안뭉치게 하고 재료 사이사이 소스가 잘 묻게 비벼집니다.
쏘리.?
gunbae~ or jjan~ 🤭
🤔 Is it redundant for Koreans to have Bibimbap then more banchan automatically served on the side when there's usually more than enough salty banchan in the Bibimbap already? And please, thoroughly learn the proper pronunciations of foreign names, phrases, and places first then just say them aloud with confidence! 😉
전주에선 한정식 먹어야되는데
Bibimbab is origin of poke
Because when japan invaded korea many korean forced to move to Japan and do the hard work and later, when Japanese moved to Hawaii they got idea from it they selling poke in Hawaii
Poke actually has origins predating Japanese contact with Hawaii. Japan influenced modern poke, but Hawaiians were eating a poke-like dish for a long time (I used to live there so I learned about it).
참견이 많다고 볼 수도 있지만, 솔직히 대부분은 도와주려는 의견들이고, 간혹 지나친 거 빼고는 그냥 안타까워서 그러는거죠. 이분들 처음 서울에 왔을때 어떤 아줌마한테 공격받은 이후 한국분들이 엄청 안타까워 했거든요. 그래서 여러모로 신경이 더 쓰이는 겁니다. 그리고 또 다른 이유는 영상을 보는 다른 외국인들에게 제대로 알려주려는 이유도 있고요. 뭐 간혹 지나치게 간섭하는 댓글 빼곤 다들 도와주고 설명해주려는 마인드로 보임
훈수 내용도 틀렸는데 뭘 도와주는 건가요 ㅋㅋ 비빔밥을 숟가락이든 젓가락이든 뭘로 비벼먹어도 상관 없는 거고. 설사 비빕밥 안 비벼서 먹어도 상관없는 거임
솔직히 그 아줌마 이후 뭔가 처음부터 꼬인 느낌..
You need to eat pork, kimchi together or kimchi with tofu together to get a real taste. If you learn little bid of Korean ways, you'll enjoy more of food and places. It seems you guys are just exploring without knowing the ways which makes it hard to really enjoy. It's about how to eat rather than just tasting individually.
We're learning as we go 🙂
I bet you guys miss riding the motorbikes in Vietnam.
Viet Nam miss you ❤️❤️❤️
We will come back to see the north!
@@OnePackWanderers ❤️❤️❤️
watching this make me crave korean food, going downstairs now to make Hatteok
My Korean friend says Koreans don't order bi bim bap. They take home the bon chon and leftovers and make their own at home, just cook rice. Kind of makes sense...🤔
Ha! That does make sense. I wonder if it is more a meal for tourists, then. Like pad thai 😂
회식하는 사람들 정말 시끄럽네요.
자기들만 크게 떠드는데 게다가 소리까지 지르면 어쩌자는 건지... 매너 좀 지킵시다.
아. 한국 아재줌마들은 뭘 드럽게 이거하라 저거하라 여기가라 저기가라 이렇게 먹어라 저렇게 먹어라 훈수질인지. 걍 냅둬라.
격하게 공감합니다. 전형적인 후진국뽕러들 리액션
There’s no way you guys are that lovey dovey in real life. My gf is jealous of your relationship. But I know better. It’s all for show, right ? I think you guys prob have real dirty arguments. I know after a weekend away with my gf, I come back questioning our relationship. Haha. Anyway, I’m a fan ! Keep up the positive attitude! Bravo !
Ha! Of course we fight like any couple. But we also don't put on a show for the camera. I'm sure you and your girlfriend have a great relationship, the sweet moments just probably aren't caught on camera so it's not as obvious.
As for traveling and not getting sick of each other. We worked together for a couple years before going on this trip, so we were lucky enough to figure out how to be around each other 24/7 a while ago 😂
Because your girlfriend is Japanese-American,
she pronounce the name of the food in Japanese way.
But it's not polite to Korean/Korean food.
Please pronounce the correct food name.
You can ask the staff at the restaurant. It's not "MAGURO".
And "Chili" is pronounced "Gochujang."......
It's a basic courtesy.
적당히좀 하세요 이 한심한 인간들아.
마구로라고 한게 아니라 mackerel 이라고 완벽하게 영어로 얘기했구만 뭔 일본말을 했다고 트집을 잡아. 무식하면 가만히라도 있지 Maguro같은소리 하고있네 ㅋㅋ 그리고 서양권에서 살다가 와서 매운거는 다 칠리라고 하지 고추장이라고 꼭 배우고 말해야됨?? 고추를 서양에서 칠리라고 하는데 한국인이 서양 여행가서 익숙한 단어로 얘기할때마다 외국인이 와서 영어로 바꿔서 말하지 않으면 예의없는거다라고 딴지잡는다고 생각을 해보시지 그게 얼마나 몰상식한 인간인지.. 이런 관광객분들은 대환영인데..
Please dont mind these ignorant comments. You guys are doing great in Korea.
meh..who cares..stop being so sensitive
한국인 아니라고 말해줘요~~~
그럴리가없어!!
오지랖 쩐다...
Sorry if we offended you, that wasn’t the intention. Definitely never said maguro, though.
여기 댓글 보니깐 뭐만하면 훈수 어쩌고 오지랖 저쩌고 하는데 관심이 없으면 그냥 보고 말겠죠. 더맛있게 먹으라고 말해줄수도 있고 잘못된걸 바로 잡아줄수도 있고 여기 유튜버분들이 애기도 아니고 필요한건 받아들이고 불필요한건 알아서 커트 할건데
님들 기준으로 보면 님들도 남들한테 훈수하지마라 오지랖 그만떨어라 이러는거 그자체가 오지랖이고 훈수예요.
참고로 저는 뭐해라 이런댓글 한번도 안달았으니깐 시비는 ㄴㄴ 해주세요.
@@김세의-q8y 어디부분이?
As a Korean, I really wanted to say sorry to you guys. Some people here are hostile to the Japanese due to colonialism; we almost lost our culture as Japan forced assimilation and resources were exploited from my country (also still politically hostile in recent days). However, I know you have done nothing wrong to my country (actually you guys are advertising my country with excellent videos) and that lady was the wrong person (being rude to strangers just because of heritage). I am sorry again that you met this rude lady at your first time in Seoul. This must be the worst impression but I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Korea. I wanted to tell you guys that there are a bunch of crazy people in Korea (to be honest) but there are more nice people who would like to help your journey. And I know this also applies to other countries like Japan; the majority of us want to make the world a better place even while some people don't help with that.
I don't know how much time you guys will stay in Korea but I recommend some places (they are a good place to visit in summer)
[Chuncheon] (where my grandparents live)
- Nice local foods (Makguksu, Dak-galbi, Potato Bread, etc)
- Beautiful nature (City is located between a mountain and liver; Samaksan Cable Car; Nami Island)
- Many places to visit (Gangchon Rail Park; Cheongpyeongsa; Korean Anime Museum; Soyanggang Skywalk; Legoland)
[Busan] (largest port city)
- Gamcheon Culture Village; Haeundae; Seogbulsa; Beomeosa
- Best seafood
[Jeju] (Koreans' favorite tour place in Korea)
- Shallow sea water; Hyeopjae Beach (best place to swim in Korea)
- Manjanggul Cave; Udo, Jeju Stone Park; Hallasan;
- Local foods like Jeju citrus and Jeju Black pig
Lastly, I am really enjoying your videos. I see you guys are experienced in selecting nice places to visit and delicious food to eat. And I love your honest and funny reaction to my culture. I have only seen the Korea part so far but I will also watch other videos as it is one of my bucket lists to travel all around the world just with a guitar and I think I can learn a lot from your videos.
First off I just want to say, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and sincere comment. Even though we are two days late in replying, it was very nice seeing this comment.
We wholeheartedly agree with your first paragraph. You phrased it very well. Most people are good. We have learned that a thousand times over during our travels and we continue to see that all over the place in Korea 😊
Thank you very much for the recommendations as well. We will visit as many of these places as we can while we're in Korea. Can I ask, is a car advised in Jeju? Our one trepidation about visiting Jeju is that our international licenses recently expired so we would not be able to rent a car.
I hope you get to travel with your guitar! It is the best decision we have ever made!
You guys are having a hard time making videos.
Because there is not much to see and enjoy in Korean tourist attractions.
Korean tourist attractions are full of similar services provided by people who flock to make money. 😎
We are having fun. I think many of the people that watch these videos have been taken off guard because traveling in a country like Korea is a much different process than traveling by motorbike in a place like Vietnam.
One is much more adventure-oriented so it's an adjustment, for sure.
No one mixes bibimbap with chopsticks. Haha. Use a spoon.
everyone in my family does. there's no rule, you know.
No. Try chopsticks next time.
어느 전통요리 할매가 tv에 나와 퍼뜨렸죠.
젓가락으로 비벼야 밥이 안뭉개진다고.
평생 질은 밥만 만들어 온 건지....
숟가락을 사용하는게 일반적이긴 하지만 전 둘 다 사용합니다
Me!I do with chopsticks as usual .

One Pack Wanderers~~^^Thank you for the great video. I have one question." Jeonju Hyanggyo(전주향교)" and "Omokdae(오목대)" are the flowers of Jeonju Hanok Village, so why don't you go? Jeonjuhyanggyo Local Confucian School(전주향교) has a very long history and is famous as a Korean drama filming site, and the ginkgo tree that is more than hundreds of years old is impressive. "Omokdae (오목대)" has a very long history, too, and there is an observatory where you can see the whole Jeonju Hanok Village. It would be a great pity not to visit there~~^^
I hope you have a wonderful trip to Korea~~^^
