Thanks a lot Mike! 😊 July is the perfect time to go to Busan! Make sure to bring some swimgear and go for a swim at Haeundae as well if you can/like to swim, and have a great trip!
just discovered your channel thanks for insight, I am actually planning on moving to SK and I wanted to get insight on it, as an expat, basically an idea of the how the culture is, things to do, the nightlife, I would be coming from New York City.
I'm so glad I found your RUclips channel recently. I will be visiting Seoul at the end of October and Busan the 2nd week of November. I have been looking forward to this trip for 4 years now. You guys have such amazing content that has helped me plan out my adventure of a life time!! Thank you both so much for sharing your life with your viewers! 감사합니다!!
Thanks so much for this nice comment Shannon! 😊 That makes us so happy that we could share a bit of information to help with your trip! Wow 4 years in the making and you are finally coming over here eh? You must be so excited! By the way they are thinking of dropping the pre-flight Covid test to come here and they will announce it within a couple of weeks (I think post-arrival test will still be required though) so keep an eye out for that. Hope you have an amazing trip to Korea! It's going to be a blast! 😁
Love watching all of your videos! Super high quality and informative. I was wondering if you guys could do a video along the lines of "what we would do differently" for your bike tours around Korea. Planning on doing the trip next spring and would love some extra insight! Cheers.
Hey Janet thank you so much! 😊 We didn't even think of this but this is a great idea! I wrote it down and we will make it in October hopefully! Spring is the perfect time for cycling! If you can try to be here for the start of April if possible to see the cherry blossoms. They are really beautiful and it's really cool to see everyone celebrate while your biking past them! But even if you can't see them there are so many landscapes and things to see!
You have totally rekindled my love for Korea. It's been 22 years since I left. I didn't know it at the time, but the year I lived there would be the best of my life.
Ah I'm so happy to hear that David! Thanks for letting us know! It sounds like you should try and make a plan to come back here! You will be so shocked by some of the changes. It's definitely a lot less "wild" now (can't even imagine 22 years ago), and there are a lot more rules, but the people have started to become a lot more free and they are expressing their individuality a lot more these days (especially in Mapo-gu near Hongdae where we live).
Really enjoying your videos! My wife and I visited Busan and Jeju last October. We also took the KTX bullet train from Seoul to Busan and really enjoyed it. We're headed back to Seoul in January for 3 weeks as my wife needs a new crown on her tooth and I need couple fillings as well. So we're going to make mini-vacation out of it. I'm hoping to try some skiing since we'll be visiting in the winter. We're complete ski beginners but always wanted to learn.
Thanks a lot crabandsteak! 😊 The KTX is a super convenient way to travel eh! Wish we could ride it more! Good luck with the dentist work in Seoul, and if you are complete beginners definitely consider checking out Jisan Forest Resort or Bears Town as they are both pretty close and have enough to learn. However if you want a really fun trip consider checking out Yongpyong if you haven't been! It has the most beginner terrain and some fun things to do in the village too!
@@lostthenfound Thanks for the ski park recommendations! We will definitely visit one if not all of 3 of the ski parks you mentioned. I finalized and booked our roundtrip plane tickets from US to Seoul last night! But I had to book for February instead of January because the direct award flights for January sold out while I hesitated. But that might end up working to our advantage if Korea gets rid of covid testing after arrival. I would love to add short 3 days ski trip to Japan from Korea if possible and not have to deal with PCR testing after reentry back into Korea.
Your videos are so informative and helping me a ton in planning my upcoming trip to SKorea. I am wondering why you havent made Busan travel guide since you have been to Busan. Or am I missing the link????
@khushbumerchant8550 thank you so much! Glad to hear that! The Seoul travel guide took me about 1-2 months to film, so I will need about 2-3 weeks in Busan to be able to film a similar, shorter guide there. Should be able to make one in the next year!
Nice tips on the restaurant.. I was there earlier 2021. Where I endured 14 day hard quarantine.. manage to zip down & back via KTX for the cherry blossom within a day.. it was fun. PS : look like your hitting 2K soon. Great jobs
Thanks a lot Philip! 😁 Oh wow you had to do the full 14 day quarantine when you came here! I can't even imagine what that would be like! It must have felt amazing to get out and explore afterwards though. Also cherry blossom season is such a great time to come here, you must have had a great trip! Thanks a lot for the sub count props too! Learning little by little every day (it used to be so embarassing to talk to a camera in public haha), but it's been a great ride and we still have a lot to learn and grow!
Busan is a very nice place to visit. A lot to see and explore. I haven't tried Naksamsae and will get some on my next visit there for sure. I stayed in Toyoko Inn next to Paradise hotel before but unfortunately it's already closed. I know there's also one near Busan station. Stay safe guys!
It's so awesome to go there from time to time eh! Naksamsae is good for sure! You can get it in Seoul too, but it's kind of like the flavour of Dalkgalbi but with different meat and protein! Toyoko Inn is amazing too eh! Definitely an amazing deal for what you get!
That makes us feel great Benjamin! 😁 Thanks so much for letting us know! October is the perfect time to come here and you will have a great time! Clear skies, autumn leaves, and the perfect weather. Enjoy your trip a lot!
Love it! Thanks! Pls make a longer busan video in future!😊 thank God I watched this as I quickly booked my tix over the app, which was so easy! You always give great tips! Can I ask u: do we just board the train without having to show the tix? If we are asked, do we just log into the app and show the train master? Or do we need to scan the qr code before boarding? Thank you so much as always!😊
@@buttlebe thanks so much! We will be spending more time in Busan in the future, so we will definitely make some videos there! Once you have your tickets you can just board the train without showing anyone. If they ask you for your ticket on the train just show them the app and it'll be okay. Hope you have a great trip to Busan!
Hi Matt & Yujin, sorry to disturb u when u are so busy with ur new home. I'm just trying my luck here at whether u have any idea where to get good seafood by the beach in Busan? Thanks lots in advance, even if u can't recommend any😊
@@buttlebe hey no worries at all! The seafood near the beaches is pretty expensive so we don't go to those restaurants usually. Id recommend taking a trip to Jagalchi Market to get some 회 (Hoe/Sashimi)
Do you know if foreigners can avail the discounted 4 companion seats set in ktx? Or this is only for koreans since it is asking for korean phone number.
Hi @shariereyes2454 I'm not 100% sure what seats you are talking about, but I assume if you can find the seats on the English website www.letskorail.com/ebizbf/EbizBfReservation2.do it should be okay?
Hello, thank you for your informative and interesting video. We plan to go from Seoul to Busan on March 22 but cannot book either train nor express bus tickets. Is that because we can only book these tickets 30-day in advance? OR because they are all sold out? I am panicking because we already paid for round-trip air tickets from Busan to Jeju and from Busan to Fukuoka.
Thanks so much for the nice comment LePham Thuy-Kim! 😊 I just checked my apps and it looks like you can only book about 3 weeks in advance for the KTX and the buses. March 22nd isn't a big holiday in Korea so there should be plenty of tickets!
Hi there! It looks like Toyoko Inn Station 1 is right beside Busan Station so it'll be super easy to get to if you are taking the train there. Have an amazing trip to Busan! 😁
Hi! Thank you for your very informative video :D Just want to ask if the price you paid for the train was a one way ticket or a roundtrip? Thanks in advance😁
Hi there @kawaiiDreamz thanks so much! 😊 The prices for the train were for one way tickets. Depending on which train you catch, the prices vary from around 50,000-60,000 KRW for one way.
Howdy - I’m visiting S Korea and planning to visit Busan. Can I purchase the ticket via KTX app? I also want to visit DMZ. I’m looking for hotel that’s convenient to train station and meetup for the DMZ. Is Hongik University station good place to stay? Thanks for sharing.
Hi there, yes you can! If the app doesn't work for you, then you can reserve in English online here too: www.letskorail.com/ebizbf/EbizbfForeign_pr16100.do?gubun=1 Also Hongik University area is a great place to stay if you are looking to go to the DMZ. A lot of the buses should leave from there.
@@lostthenfound thank you. I booked my DMZ excursion and meet up maps.app.goo.gl/UaYGfEac7MBKxkB88?g_st=ic Can I get a card for payment for the days I’m in S Korea? Also, kindly recommend a good eESIM carrier to use there. Thank you!
You can use international cards such as Visa/Mastercard almost everywhere here, and I'd recommend Chingu Mobile www.chingumobile.com/ for a sim card, but I'm not 100% sure they do eSIM so I'd double check.
@@lostthenfoundI have multiple international credit cards with NO foreign exchange fees that I prefer using. However, I saw a video that the machine at the train terminal doesn’t accept them and you need to wait in line at the cashiers window. I booked my hotel 10-minutes to Myeongdong train station meeting place for DMZ tour. Your video and replies are helpful. On Dec 7, I’ll make a day trip to Busan and back. Plan to take KTX bullet train. Again, thank you!
@@lostthenfoundWould you say it is save to leave the luggage there? I am kind of scared to leave my suitcase unattended, but it seems there ist not enough space by the seats?
@@luvlycloey Korea has very low rates of theft, and there are CCTV cameras everywhere to make it easy to catch people if they do steal. It's safe to keep your bags there, but I would keep your passport and things like that with you just in case!
