I am so positively surprised by the kindness of the Korean people. We have visited Japan and thought they were already helpful and though reserved, friendly. But the Koreans just top that easily.
My family went to South Korea a few years back. They are mostly very friendly. You get a few like in any country but there where few of them. I loved the people of South Korea that I cried on the way home because I didn’t want to leave and wanted to stay. We flew into LAX and it was cultural shock to my system again. Their 24/7 7/11 stores were such a delight. You could get fresh meals all the time. They love their coffees and drinks. I would next time go for more than 2 weeks. I would love to go for a year. Don’t know if I would come back lol.
I hope you come back to Korea and have another experience. Koreans are truly kind and friendly.
@@ardmore37 I am so going back when ever I am blessed to go again. I try countries once but this great country I would do over and over. It’s so affordable as well. You can get 5 star hotels for so low and have to try the traditional Korean homes that are passed down generation to generations. They make you breakfast with their family and best sleep I ever had in my life was at this Hanok!!! You have to experience this and really get to see real culture.
한국인은 정이 넘침니다.
@@sangdowon6633 translation please?
@@Dona_Nobis_Pacem it says Koreans have a lot of affection (?) There is no equivalent English word for it & it’s called “Cheong”
I left Korea last year after living there for 11.5 years and boy are these videos making me miss it!
When a Korean person decides to take you under their wing, they will literally walk through a wall for you. And the food is just amazing. In this video you had 삼 (Sam = three) 겹 (Gyeop = layer) 살 (Sal = fat), in other words barbecued pork belly. I strongly recommend you to also try 갈매기살 (pronounced Kal Maygi Sal), it's another barbecue pork meat with much less fat but more tender and less chewy. Another recommendation is a mung bean pancake 빈대떡 (Bean Day Dock), which you can get with some SamGyeopSal bits mixed in (depends on the restaurant). I'd also have heartily recommended 호떡 (Ho Dock) but I see Anna beat me to the punch!
Have a great time in Korea, guys. Gangwon-do on the east coast is probably the most picturesque, beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes. If you're in the area, I'd recommend a visit to my friend's microbrewery in the countryside - White Crow Brewing. Delicious beers, tonnes of room to park Trudy and a good time guaranteed. Have fun!
Awwh this is great to hear - thank you for the tips 🌷
살 stands for flesh
Ive lived/worked in Daegu for the last few months. The description of the friendly people and welcoming environment is spot on. Such a great place.
I live in daegu and one thing I can tell you is that daegu is like the most safe place to be when a typhoon is coming because it is surrounded by mountains. One downside is that it almost never snows
I’ve been living in Jinhae, South Korea for the past 2 1/2 years which is about 45-50 minutes from busan and yeah most people here are super kind and welcoming, also the markets are unreal how big they are and the food is delicious. For anyone visiting nearby busan if you come around mid/end of April they have a big cherry blossom festival in Jinhae, I’d highly recommend going.
I loved Busan!!! We took the bullet train from Seoul and was amazing. I would get up super early when no one was around and just enjoyed the beauty of Korea. They have music and dancing on the beach at night after swimming done for day. I also love how they are conservative when it comes to swimming and covering up. In swimming pools all must wear swimming caps on all times. And of course I love the tradition of taking shoes off and putting on slippers or socks. Clean idea and makes sense. We try to do the same here now.
I will always respect and thank the soldiers from many countries who participated in the war for the Republic of Korea🇰🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇹🇷🇮🇱❤️
I'm a local person from Jinhae. Yep, from end of March to 12th of April is the cherry blossom festival season in my hometown. Hope you have a grate time in Jinhae while your stay.
wow, you are almost local! Jin hae cherry blossom festival is for sure!
@@IIIIIIlIIlIIlIIIIIIl my father in law was there right in Busan during that time. My grandfather as well. We are so grateful for how grateful you are. I can’t wait to get back there one day. Gotta save. Gonna take awhile.
I am utterly floored by the kindness and hospitality shown to you by all the people you've come in contact with in Korea. Wow
Thanks Karen - we really have enjoyed laughing so much 😉🌷
Im so glad the people from Korea have been so welcoming.
What lovely people the Koreans are. They are so proud of their country and are happy to show foreigners what happiness is. I am continually surprised at the lack of crowds. When I was in China, jostling crowds was the norm. Seems that there are more stalls in the market place than people. How do they survive?
The kindness of a stranger is priceless and never forgotten 😊
Agreed !!
What a fab video. I'm going to Korea in 22 days. I've not been away for 22 years, but South Korea was always the place I wanted to go. This video was just a delight to watch.
Have a fabulous time and if you see Anna and Won ... say hi !! 🌷
@TREADtheglobe thank you and I will. It was by chance that I came across your video. I'm pretty glad I did. 😊
Have a wonderful time!! They have great deals and so many historical things to see. My family loved going to see the burial site for those killed during Korean War. My father in law served there and never got to go back so we took lots of pictures for him. Have fun. I am so envious!
how was your trip?!
@aaa-hs7qi I had a fab trip, thank you. I saw a great deal and walked 70 miles, but what I saw was only the tip of the iceberg. I want to go back again to visit other areas of SK.
If I ever get a chance to go to Asia, Korea is first on my bucket list. Between your experiences and what I've seen on Korean Englishman's channel, the Korean people seem to be some of the friendliest and most fun in the world.
한국은 당신이 생각하신그대로 입니다.
언제던 오시면 환영합니다.
welcome to korea~~~:)
You must go!! Best vacation ever!!! I promise you won’t want to leave when it’s time. Make sure you stay at least minimum 10 days. We went for longer and it still wasn’t enough.
I will always respect and thank the soldiers from many countries who participated in the war for the Republic of Korea.❤️🇰🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇹🇷🇮🇱❤️
@@IIIIIIlIIlIIlIIIIIIl thank you for your respect! I found that most Koreans were very thankful for our help.
And conveniently, they like to speak their mind. So, when they don't like something, they will let you know right away, unlike the Japanese, who are polite to a fault. Koreans are kinda like Polish and Italians. You don't have to go around guessing what Koreans are thinking, lol.
I figured it out now 😂 in every country you go to, you seem to meet the kindest people. Yes there is nice people everywhere but it’s actually your own kindness and happiness that attracts these lovely souls. It is such a pleasure to view your content ❤
Thanks! 😃
You are absolutely right. Kindness always attracts kindness
Love Korea. Great place to travel to.
Such a heartwarming video and Koreans must be among the world's loveliest people. Anna was a real delight and I think probably a friend for life. Your very own special sincerity and warmth always shine through wherever you go.
She is an angel for sure
I will always respect and thank the soldiers from many countries who participated in the war for the Republic of Korea.❤️🇰🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇹🇷🇮🇱❤️
Watching this video this morning it occurred to me that the reasons you find the loveliest, helpful people in the countries you visit is because you both are lovely, friendly people. You take an interest in learning phrases of appreciation and the customs, cultures and foods. You both open your hearts to embrace differences. You put the love out in the universe and it comes back to you. Wishing you a continued safe and happy journey.
Awwh thank you 🙏🌷
Agree
Fantastic. This initial glipse of Korea is everything i hoped it would be. The fact that Anne speaks a little English is a bonus, even better that she is able to teach you both a little Korean. It can only get better from here.
It is lovely traveling with you. Thanks so much for taking us along. Korea is now on the top of my list!
I will always respect and thank the soldiers from many countries who participated in the war for the Republic of Korea.❤️🇰🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇹🇷🇮🇱❤️
Daegu is known as a very hot city in Korea I hope you drank a lot of cool water and had a lot of fun. The video was so fun. It showed the local market in Daegu Thank you💙
Absolutely love Korea, I watch a lot of lorean programs and period dramas. The people there are so lovely, so welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to see the rest of your journey around Korea. Love the Korean dress Marianne, suits you.
Thank you !!
대구는 내고향 정다운 내고향.
대구에서 좋은 추억을 만드셨네요.
Lovely video, this has the same feel as your Turkey ones. When locals take you under their wing, you see and learn so much more and gives us viewers a more intimate glipse into a country.
Agreed 🇹🇷🇰🇷💕
Funny things is korea and turkey is called a brother country due to the relationship since the korean war.
I;m Korean (living in Seoul Korea) . I'll travel to Turkiye (the country of brothers with Korea } tomorrow (14th,Oct}. I want to see the beautiful nature of Turkiye for 3 weeks.
서문시장(Seomun Market)에 가셨군요.
대구에서 가장 큰 시장입니다.
저는 대구에서 사는 사람인데 미리 알았더라면 대구의 좋은 장소를 소개해드릴 수 있었을텐데 아쉽군요.
구독, 좋아요, 알람설정했습니다.^^
Brilliant video, as was last weeks. Well, they all are basically.
I’ve had two trips to SK. My son worked in a city called Cheongju-Si in central Korea. I found it a fascinating country and, like you, I found the people to be genuinely kind, friendly and hospitable. Marvellous country.
Awwh wow - so glad you enjoyed it too 🌷
대구에 다녀가신걸 환영합니다 ^^ 대구광역시는 위치가 대한민국 경상도 지역권입니다. 경상도 지역인의 특성상 겉은 무뚝뚝해 보이지만 내면은 정과 사랑이 넘치는 사람들이랍니다.♥
아 그리고 분지인 대구는 대한민국에서 제일 더운지역입니다.
여름에 제일 한국에서 최고로 더운지역을 체험하셨네요^^;;;
Wow people in Korea are so lovely they can’t do enough for you, it’s amazing and so heart warming to see! I did wonder about that whole clove of garlic though in the lettuce leaf 😮 Anna and her family are true diamonds 💎 great Vlog guys xxx
This has really opened my eyes to travelling off the beaten track. Such wonderful people in korea xx
You've experienced the complete authentic Gyeongsang-do style of kindness in Busan and Daegu.
I hope you have a great trip in Korea.
Thank you
Many Koreans and Japanese comes in my country , and those I personaly come to met are friendly and polite .
Another cracking adventure! It brings back memories of an entire year in Daegu. Daegu is known for having the most conservative people in Korea, so I found it very difficult to make Korean friends there. Even so, I remember the elderly generation in particular always being very generous and welcoming, and I had lots of disputes with them every time they insisted on giving up their seats for me on the subway trains.
Could it be because you are sitting in the elderly seat?
@@user-거니이이이이g No, the situtation was that I was standing on Daegu subway trains with a big bag of grocery shopping. Elderly people would jump up from their seat and start tugging my shopping bag onto their empty seat. I was always battling to insist that they stay in their seat and that I was fine holding my bag (I just didn't like to put it down on the train floor, as I was fussy about fresh food coming into contact with germs).
The market you visited is one of the most biggest market in Korea. The name "Seomunsijang" means "West(Seo) Gate(mun) Market(sijang)". I hope you enjoyed my hometown Daegu.
한국에서 안전하고 즐거운 여행을 하셨으면 좋겠습니다 한국은 정이 많은 나라입니다 좋은 추억 많이 가지고 가시기 바랍니다
Another positive video. Way to go South Korea so heart warming to see such kindness, our world needs more of this🥰 xxx
Thanks Rose - we love sharing the love 🌷
진짜 당신들에게는 좋은 사람들이 모여드는 것 같아요^^ 즐겁게 즐기고 좋은 기억을 가지고 안전하게 여행 하시길.. ^^
Thank you 🌷
Oh, it’s over already! You guys do great videos. What a lot of fun. You’ve left us all laughing 🇦🇺 🌈🦜
😊 thank you - We are so happy to have you on the adventure with us 🙌🌷
Most people are kind, giving and full of love 😘
Hello Ambassadors
Such a lovely people, aren,t they? I love them. Many of them live and work in TURKIYE and speak Turkish. Nice personalities. I am sure you will enjoy your time there.
Love from FLORIDA
💕💕💕🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
The same typhoon has now reached Hong Kong. Great to see your initial Korean experience wasn't just a one off and looking forward to seeing where you get to in the coming weeks.
Again fantastic folks....I really good insite into Korea......and you two are infectious 😂🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! 😃
Welcome to Korea. I was moved by the strength of the couple who chose this difficult journey. I hope you always drive safely and have a happy journey.
Thank you so much!
She is adorable so friendly love anna
Absolutely !!
I love Daegu & Chillingbourne. ❤❤
Your videos are so inspiring, and always put a smile on my face, keep it up!
Glad you like them! Thank you
Cant wait for my own trip in April! Thanks for sharing ❤
Have fun!
Great video and in my Korean hometown of 20 years! Thanks for sharing! Lovely people together!
안녕 친구~~
대구에서 멋진 추억 만들어서 행복하고 기분이 좋아~
Thank you friend 🌷
8:24 The bridge above is the longest-operating unmanned monorail in the world. It is Daegu Urban Railway Line 3, also known as the Sky Train, and has various cutting-edge systems.
Because Seomun Market is large, it is a traditional market with great political influence, with several presidents frequently visiting it. It even operates a night market at night, making it very popular with young people.
Great update from both of you. They really do seem like lovely people ❤
I would like to enjoy real Korean hospitality and experience wonderful Korea and Korean food. Take care! Bon voyage!
Thanks for sharing your travels. I hope to get to Japan in the future but Korea is looking an amazing place to visit. Happy and safe travels.
Oh, my hometown Daegu! It's been almost 20 years since I lived in Seoul, but I miss there. Have you left Korea? If you are still in Korea, I would like to meet you sometime.
The hostel is perfect and at it kept you safe with the bonus of air con and a shower 👌
Another country and yet again such amazing hospitality from the locals 👏🫶
The way Anna showed you the natural viagra was so funny 🤣 🤣
Marianne you looked amazing in that traditional outfit 👏👏👏
Cheers for the entertaining video while we ate our Sunday Roast 🫶
Thanks both - I will have that dress for the welcome home party !! 😉🌷
Fabulous, what wonderful people.
대구는 물가도 다른 지방에 비해 비교적 싼편이고 치안도 아주 좋아요.
다만 여름에는 너무 덥고 겨울에는 춥기로 유명합니다.
서문시장은 대구에서 제일 큰 시장입니다. 아주 넓고 붐비는 곳이죠.
많은 사람들이 시장을 즐기기도 합니다.
두 분 즐거운 여행 되세요.
Omg you guys came to my city!!! Hope you try famous local food 😊😊 safe trevel❤️❤️
This truly warms the heart that hospitality still exists in the world.
I've lived in Daegu twice. Much friendly people on the west coast. 😆
This video was heart warming the hospitality was amazing. The people are so kind.
모든 나라 사람들이 그렇겠지만, 한국인들은 손님이 즐거워하는 모습을 좋아 합니다.
You met such lovely people especially Anna who is delitful and joyous. I hope to go to korea on day and use all the Korean i have been learning. Great video!
As advertised, Anna is a character! 💪🤣🤣 Glad to hear Korean people are so enthusiastically hospitable, generous, and seemingly eager to share laughter. ❤️❤️💪😎xx
😂
What a time we had .... we will have to have a Korea BBQ next meet up !!
호텔 사장님이 진짜 친절하시네요. 항상 행복한 여행 되시길!
I live in Daegu. Korea is small, but each region has a different culture. Daegu is a very conservative city, so it is not very friendly to foreigners. But they are not bad people.
Beautiful Video Korea is very interesting.
You are so Funny and Cute couple.
You meet the nicest people and are so friendly yourselves.
As I am a new Subscriber will have to warmth your videos from the beginning .
Safe Travels.
Welcome !! 🌷
Daegu is the hottest city in South Korea. I can’t believe that you have visited there in summer!
Would love to be there.
Marianne, you connect with the right people because you’re both so overwhelmingly open and friendly. You draw them to you.
Thank you Miriam xx
I'm so glad you guys seem happy. If you have trouble communicating with people, be sure to use the translator on your smartphone.😊
Fantastic people and you’re having such a great time. “Fill yer boots”
Keith.
ha ha - thank you
I love your video. I miss Korean Joeng so much since I left Korean many years ago and settled in the other side from my motherland. People are nice here too but I cannot feel the same like Korean Joeng.
한국인들은 평소에 표정이 굳어있기 때문에 차가운 사람들이라고 생각할수 있습니다. 나는 서양인들이 언제나 웃고 인사하는 모습을 존경합니다.
Awesome video as always Chris and Marianne. South Korea is so friendly and everyone is so helpful can't wait to see what's in store for the next adventure.
You do seem to attract the most wonderful people. They do say like attracts like. I think your openness brings these fantastic people into your path. And when things go wrong these are the times when we have to remember a silver lining needs its cloud.
Good people have the power to attract good people😊
I hope you have a fun and safe trip in Korea.❤
It is my joy to find out your delightful experience in my hometown, Daegu.
Wonderful - we had a great time and Ana is a wonderful person and friend 🌺
Lovely videos.
May be too late now but go to Gyeongju (between Daegu and Ulsan) for all the outdoor parking!
It's a beautiful historical place too
Daegu Metropolitan City served as the temporary capital for a short period of time before Busan was designated as the temporary capital during the Korean War. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was the administrative center of Gyeongsang-do and was the second largest city in the southern region of Joseon. Daegu Metropolitan City is a huge city that has produced the most presidents in the country.
In addition, Daegu Metropolitan City is the hottest city in the country and belongs to the Daegu special type climate, and is also nicknamed 'Dafrica' because it is hotter than Africa.
Daegu is hot because it has a basin type, but because it is a basin type, it is not prone to typhoons, strong winds, heavy rain, and heavy snow, making it the safest city from the weather in Korea.
There is also Seomun Market, the largest market in the country.
And, the second largest department store in the world is in Daegu!
Usually, foreigners don't come to Daegu, but thank you for coming to Daegu
You stayed in a hostel next to a motorcycle alley. The hostel is a renovated hostel of old hotels and saunas ^^
We had a great time and with the new owner we wish her success in her business and life 🌺🙌🙏
환영합니다❤ 감사해요 한국에 여행 오셔서
I lived in Daegu growing up, and it was so loving and friendly. I'm happy you got to experience what it's like there!
I love watching your travels! You are such fun loving folks. Please be careful. The world is going crazy the last couple of days. Even talking about N. Korea getting in it. Take care!
Amazing yet again.
촣은분 만나 조금이 나마 즐거우셨겠네요 파티 ㅇㅇ 한복 잘 어울리는 것같아요 해피~~~~~❤❤❤
I watched your video well.
I hope this channel will grow up rapidly.
The beauty of people. Koreans love to eat and drink and be sociable
Anna is amusing person
She is so kind and took great care of us 🌷
When you’re looking for a new bungee cord, those helpful and friendly Koreans are of one a cord
내가 보기엔 좋은 사람들이기 때문에 좋은 사람들을 만난 것 같다.
Welcome to Daegu ❤
Koreans may not say sweet things but they like to show genuine caring by taking an action. You sneeze then they shove medicine to you without smiling because it’s just right to take care of the sick or those in need. Those unfamiliar with Korean culture used to think of my Korean mom as weird or rude. But those who are open and experienced my mom long enough found her to be the sweetest and humble person.
I just love that you quickly fix little boo-boos!
And you have such nice wonderful experiences and meet such nice people.
한국에 제대로된 시장을 갈려면 서문시장을 가야된다고 생각했는데 진짜 가셨군요.ㅋㅋ 숙소도 서문시장 근처 잡으셨네요.
가셨던 호떡집 주말에는 줄서서 먹는곳이고 저도 자주가는 곳인데 반갑네요. 가셨던 호떡 진짜 맛있는 곳이에요.
Korean people are the best
hm, I would disagree. You would have to define 'best', but their culture and education system strongly creates a whole competitive, aggressive behavior that I would not categorize under 'best'. I wish it was only a personal experience of mine, but if you look at their political history, sports, and relations with countries, it would make sense.

i really like anna joke and warm heart. thats so natural kkkk
아! 대구의 가장 큰 서문시장에 가셨군요!
Very nice
대구에서 가장 큰 시장에 가셨군요.^^
저도 대구사람이지만, 경스 호스텔이란 곳이 있는 줄은 처음 알았는데, 위치나 가격도 괜찮네요.
외국인들이나 타지역 사람들이 가성비 좋게 머물만한 좋은 숙소 같아요.
여행하기에는 대구보다는 음식천국인 전라도 쪽이 좀더 좋지만, 대구에서도 좋은 추억 만드셨기를 바랍니다.
even watching you walking around daegu in summer makes me sweat
South Korea 🇰🇷 is amazing, I was there on vacation in July 2023. The BBQ is tasty and great in any city you visit. Amazing food :)
