I love the neighborhood in Seoul! Everything is so conveniently located! This is another aspect of Korean society I love. The convenience is on another level!
I live in Seoul, too. In the building I live, there is a nail salon, hair salon, rock climbing center, a bowling alley,convenience store, pilates instructor's office,pool, gym, sauna, coffee shop, dry cleaners, orthepedic surgeon' s office , another for traditional medicine, another for internal medicine and all hospitals have beds. There is a drugstore, online supermarket office ( you can not shop there but they will deliver it to your home within 15minutes if you order online) , an auditorium for performances that can be rented for events,a real estate office, even a soothsayers office. There are offices of small businesses within the buidling as well, so some people work and live here. ( for example there is the local health and national pension office here, the headquarters of a furniture company and many more)Of course there is a cafe and at least 5 restaurants. The nicest thing is that as they are all accessible via elevator, you can order food, dry cleaning services without deliver charges. Of course, there are plumbers and electricians on hold . Their services are included in the rent. There are doormen who take and keep parcels for you. There is a police station just across the street on one side and a stream and dog park to jog in just across the street on another side.We just had a dance festival there a few hours ago. There is a subway station with 2 lines a 3 minute walk away. There are 3 bus stops on three sides of the building. There are tons of shops outside . Yes, Seoul is dense as fuck but this means its convenient.
Love watching your vlogs, me and my husband came to Korea in April, stayed in Jongno 6 area in a Airbnb, it's was fabulous, everything is so close ,we didn't have to walk very far to anything, we love Korea , and if we where younger we would definitely think about living in Korea.x
You are showing the place where I was born 63 years ago. I have now been living in Europe for 38 years. Watching your video makes me feel like a tourist. Thank you!"
Thank you for showing us your neighborhood and sharing all the conveniences. This video further solidified my desire to move to Korea by 2026. I don't know how just yet, but God will show me the way. Also, thank you for always being kind, compassionate, respectful, and thoughtful in your videos. I pray for your continued success and happiness.
as a Korean, hearing things I took for granted explained like this makes me feel a renewed sense of gratitude for my daily life. thanks for the wonderful video 🫶
a great tour, thanks. I like it. looks like a great mix of authentic independat places yet so close to the more build up modern areas. best of both worlds so it seems . I must look up your old videos to find out your story about how you eneded up in Korea. I am hooked and fascinated by it. Just because it is so so different to Europe. And I really like the sound of KOrean language. I always watch korean shows/movies in korean with subtitles even if they are available in english. The language is beutiful. I am 51 so do not think I woudl be learning it but every now and then, I attempt to learn a word or two.... One thing that puzzles me about korean culture is that beuty focus. It seems superficial and somewhat shallow how much people judge and comment on their looks as if they prioritise it above anything else. Coudl you talk a littel about that? I think, it is amazing that people generally look very well presented , hair cuts, clothes. I like that. and I use lots of KOrean cosmetics so i do consume that beuty standard lol. Still, it seems to be a little too emphaised maybe?
This is my personal opinion, but I believe that the social culture of each country arises from its historical background. This is also the reason why Korea was able to quickly leap from a colonial country to a developed country, and it was because all the vested rights of the existing society collapsed during the Korean War. In places like Southeast Asia or Central and South America, even though they have a lot of resources, exploitation by existing vested interests becomes an obstacle to economic development, but in Korea, these vested interests all collapsed during the war, leading to a society where everyone is compensated for their work. So everyone worked hard, everyone lived well, and even now, the desire and hope to enter the upper class continues to be strong. So, appearance is strongly emphasized as one of the means. Unfortunately, this drug-like rapid growth ended and a withdrawal phenomenon occurred, resulting in high suicide rates and low birth rates.
@@시온익 yes, all that makes sense . Kind of feels the rapid improvement in materialistic way is ahead of the emotional development in a sence of certain priorities have not yet evolved .... It is nt at all criticism, but just an observation and is just really interesting as in many ways the society is so admirable . Thank you for your explanation.
I'm really enjoying my life in Korea! Thank you for walking around the neighborhood with me! When I return to Korea after my vacation, I will explore other neighborhoods:)
와...생각해보니까 서울에만 지하철 역이 700군데 정도인데 역마다 먹자골목에 편의시설 다 있다고 보면되네요. 역상권 살짝 벗어나면 또 대단지 아파트 있어서 거기에서도 역과 같은 대규모의 편의시설이 있다고 보면되요, 지금도 역이 계속해서 거미줄 처럼 개통되는중...근데 웃기게도 역마다 뭔가 비슷하면서도 느껴지는 풍경이 가지각색 전부 특징이 있어요, 나도 인천, 서울 40년 넘게살아봤지만 안가본 역이 600군데 넘는것 같아요 ㅠㅠ
Along the 15 past years. Korea has been boomed up the premium bicycles riding almost over USD 10,000~30,000 dollars value of them but light weight, some thieves target it and sell them again second hand market suddenly. :( however almost they were captured through CCTV trace by police after he already sold it and they spent money though. :d My cheap bicycle is always there in front of my main door though. :D
Yooo, there he is! Appreciate it, my guy!!! Damn, you can't walk where you live?? Sheeesh. In which state are you? This is one reason why I never returned to Paris to live after coming to Korea and definitely not America hahaha
@@francoismarc3 ive been around lol just very busy lol but ive got some great news coming up. i live in new jersey. where i used to live there was a convenient store, an ice cream stand and a micro brewery and a restaurant of sorts about 15-20 min from my house by walking. not a bad vibe on a nice night. u could walk another 10 or so min to stores and the post office and a lot of other stuff lol. before i had a car i would just walk everywhere. It would be about an hour walk ( 30 up and 30 back) to the area where this was all located. I used to take walks very late at night because i suck at sleeping and walking would help take my mind off of some things and burn some energy. It was so cool seeing the town in a dead silent sleeping state. i would stand in the middle of the intersections and snap my fingers and listen to the echo bounce off of everything it was so cool. i would hit up the liquor store and wawa in that area grab a 4 loco and a slim jim or something and drink/snack on the way back home. i always meant to make a video about those walks but never got around to it then we moved a year ago. I did however take some pics that i think i still have and if you want to see them i could send you somehow. i think you would get a kick out of them lol sry for the long response.
@@francoismarc3 damn it must have been to long or something haha umm the tldr ig is my old neighborhood was semi walkable once you got to the general area witch was about 15 -20 min away from where i lived by foot. the longest walk was to the strip mall where the grocery store was witch was about 30 min away by foot. I used to take night walks all the time really late at night because i suck at sleeping lol i always meant to take a video of those walks but never got around to it but i think i still have some of the pictures i took if you were interested in seeing them somehow
I'm an American currently living in Seoul. Its so much safer and more convenient. Living here I lost 6 kilos in 6 months and my heartburn/acid reflux issues disappeared like magic... I could imagine myself living here long term after I finish 한국어 school.
I'm Korean and have lived here in Seoul whole my life. And I haven't noticed that I've taken this convenience for granted snice I watched this video. Ohhh that's why I traveled a lot to get to any happening places when I was abroad. 저는 평생을 서울에서 살아 온 한국 사람입니다. 그래서 이 편리함을 당연하게 여겼다는 것을 이 비디오를 보기 전까진 깨닫지 못했습니다. 아, 그래서 외국에서는 핫스팟에 가기 위해 많은 이동을 해야 했던 거군요.
When you buy a ready made box like that how many servings are inside? I can't believe how well Seoul is planned. My parents travel almost an hour for a Korean dentist or hairstylist.
korean don't take anything expensive, but I take a bicycle or an umbrella because I put the value on 'convenience'. In Korea, not everyone is perfectly moral too. Expensive items do not steal because they suffer a great deal of damage compared to the monetary value they earn. In the case of bicycles and umbrellas, they occur frequently because they can have the value to relieve the 'inconvenience' that I need right away and because they are not expensive, the damage that comes back to me is not significant.
100 years ago, most houses in Korea had their doors open. As industrialization and urbanization progressed in the 1970s, much has changed in today's Korea.
주거 비용이 비싼 지역은 지하철 역이 있는 구간입니다. 편리성 때문 지하철 역이 있는 구간에는 모든것이 있어요 그래서 한국인들은 지하철 역 까지 걸어서 가는 5분 이내 거리, 10분 정도 거리를 선호 합니다. 물론 주거 비용이 비싸기도 합니다 비용을 아끼고 걷기 좋아한다면 조금 멀리 떨어진곳을 추천 합니다, 😊
Hello. I did not say Korea is a utopia. Far from it as I believe utopian societies exist only in our minds. Thank you for your comment and your valued opinion.
Oh, I didn't know. I was searching for unmanned stores in the US, and I didn't find any. I only found concepts for unmanned stores. If you could send me a link, that would be great:)
@@alfonsowillock5801 but you are talking about few stores in NY. in korea, it is everywhere. Stores with no cashier, no owners, you pay and pick up stuff and go.
Hey, thanks, B! I don't know why hahaha. Could be the POV? All I know is that I need to set aside one full day to respond to all the comments. I'm grateful:)
No need to reply to this, but my observation is that yes... This is a legit POV walking tour. We feel like we are in your shoes, but I think with straight vlogs, we are seeing you as the main character in the story whereas this one, you are making the audience the main character. I felt like I actually experienced your neighborhood! Also, starting with the reader with the kid walking by himself was smart... I really think you should do a bunch of neighborhood POV walking tours just like this. Maybe do your regular content but mix this style in every few videos... because I noticed your last three videos have blown up, and all three have a diverse style, so that's great... Also, congrats on the 12k!! Keep growing... Way to go!!
@@BrianCatalano This is great advice as always, Brian!! I think I will add a few POV neighborhood videos like me eating and stuff! That may be a nice change from constant vlogging! I'm a little worried about my big trip in a couple of days. I'll be going back to travel content. I'm on a nice streak and would like for it continue haha
@@francoismarc3 I get that but, maybe record your trip like you want to but also consider doing one POV... Or not. Try not to follow the views per se, but follow your interests while just keeping in mind what works because it indicates that something is resonating. Don't overthink it!
CCTV가 그렇게나 많았구나. 대부분의 평범한 한국인은 CCTV가 있건 없건 도둑질은 생각하지도 않습니다. CCTV가 많아서 치안이 절도가 안 일어나는 것이 아닙니다. 한국은 CCTV가 적은 지역이나 별로 없던 시절에도 상점 밖에 물건을 진열하였고 가정집 대문도 닫지 않고 지냈습니다.
지나친 인종주의. 한국인은 절도하지 않는다? 자전거 훔치는 자는 외국인들 뿐이다? 전 재산을 투자해 한국에 돈 벌러 왔는데 자전거를 훔쳐? 들키면 추방 당할텐데 뭐하러? 누가봐도 외국인 외모에 발음으로 자전거를 팔 수도 없는데? 한국인은 훔치는게 아니라 바빠서 빌려가는 거일 뿐? 진짜 외국인이 볼까봐 창피한 글이다. 그렇게 바쁜데 자물쇠를 파괴할 시간은 있고? 공유 자전거를 고를 시간은 없고? 국뽕과 인종주의가 지나쳐서 정상적인 사고 조차 못하시네.
I just subscribed your channel, and thank you for your real life experiences based compliments about living in Korea. Of course, there is no perfect society or country on earth but Korea is still trying to make herself livable place for everyone!! Many lucks and good things may happen to you!! God bless you! 👍🙏
The crime rate has increased seriously in Korea as Chinese people began to be eligible for permanent residency. Everywhere in the world, the Chinese are in trouble
👎, 당신의 주장은 그냥 인종혐오입니다. 나도 중국을 싫어하는 한국인이지만 사람마다 모두 같을 수는 없기에 모두를 하나의 나쁜 악의 결정체인양 일반화 해서는 안됩니다. 한국에 거주하는 외국인의 수가 늘어갈수록 외국인의 범죄비율이 포함이 되는 것 뿐이며 중국국적의 외국이 많다 보니 비율상 많은 것입니다. 범죄는 한국인이나 외국인이나 중국인이나 모두 다 나쁘며 법적으로 처벌을 해야 합니다. 범죄의 걱정을 빙자한 인종 혐오와 차별을 정당화 하지마세요! 당신이 부끄려운 한국인이 아니길 바랍니다.
The more Korea becomes "multi-cultural" the more the things everyone takes for granted like unattended stores, kids walking alone, items on display outside businesses will erode away. Just saying.
That's is true. if you go to an area that lots of people from a certain country live in (you guys probably know which country I'm talking about lol) , the atmosphere there is very different.
True, but I don't know if there is much danger to worry about for children in Korea as far as I can see. However, every parent, child and human must always stay diligent no matter how safe a place is!

Korea welcomes tourists but it does not want to be a UN country. We are a small country. We don’t want our country to become UK, France , Detroit, San Francisco and other cities with its abundant crime. PLEASE look to South Africa or South America where I hear they are booming culturally
30년전까지만 해도 절도가 많았다 그당시는 배가고팠던 시절이라서 자전거뿐 아니라 모든거 다손을됬다ᆢ 소매치기도 많았고ᆢ 그때는 현금을 들고 다니든 시절이라 오늘날 남의 물건을 손을 안되는 이유는 시민의식이라기 보다 경제가 그만큼부유해 지다보니 굳이 절도를 할 필요성을 못느끼는 것이지ᆢ지나갔던 시절 역사라고 하지만 사실대로 말해야 한다
Repent of your sins because the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Jesus the Son of God died for our sins to save us, and He will come back to judge us, according to what we have done. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 I passed on to you what I received, which is of the greatest importance: that Christ died for our sins, as written in the Scriptures; that he was buried and that he was raised to life three days later, as written in the Scriptures;
For foreigners, especially westerners; you may encounter very ‘Korean’ society and culture even though it has been pretty westernized. You may feel disrespect, impoliteness and indifferent which are considered very normal to Koreans😂. Plz throw away your fantasies from K dramas and K pops when it comes to residing awhile. ps. breads and flour based meals and snacks are really really expensive in Korea so better brace for impact, if you are bread person, for sure.
I would never live in Korea period due to the sewer smell and thr air quality. I tried 3 times but had to leave back to thr syates. But some likes it there for their own reasons. Jist not for me.
@@francoismarc3 I don’t like foreigners Because I have a bad memories when I was Europe or state I had a lot of experience the racism white or black they’re all same.

뭔 개솔이냐 한국이니까 당연히 훔친다는 소리는 뭐냐 어느 나라든 도둑은 존재한다 그렇지만 한국은 카메라가 없어도 정상적인 사람들이라면 남의 물건을 훔치지 않는다 우리집이 도로변인데 세벽배송 등 수 많은 배송을 받았어도 20년 동안 아직 물건 잃어 버린 적이 없다 cctv 이야기를 자꾸 하는데 cctv 보급 대수는 중공 유럽쪽이 서울보다 더 많다 순위로 봐로 서울은 세계40위권이다
그건 아닙니다. 자전거 도난율 높아요. 지금까지 두번 도난 당했는데 한번은 아파트 계단에 세워둔거 그대로 가져갔고 한번은 밖에 아주 잠시 세워둔거 훔쳐갔어요. 실제로 많이들 훔쳐갑니다. 우리동네에 공유자전거 있었는데 하도 애들이 강제로 쳐 뽑아가서 그거 메꾸는거에 세금을 너무 많이 쓰게됐고 결국은 사업종료까지 했어요. 특히 10대 애들이 엄청나게 훔쳐갑니다.
I love the neighborhood in Seoul! Everything is so conveniently located! This is another aspect of Korean society I love. The convenience is on another level!
한국은 절도 강도하면 다 잡혀요.cctv 자동차블랙박스 동선추적하고 잡혀요.사기는 전세계1위입니다.관광객들은 안전하다고 생각하시겠지만 한국사는 외국인들은 사기로 전재산 날리는경우 많이봤으니 조심하세요
그리고 술마시고 술값안내고 도망가도 신고하면 형사들이 와서 술병에 지문따서 잡힘
Cctv 자동차 블랙박스로 동선따서 이틀이면 다잡음 몇만원훔치고 합의금에 벌금에 전과기록많으면 실형에 수지타산 안나옴.사기는 전세계1위 전세사기 주식사기 코인사기 종교사기 리니지 메이플사기 등등 어릴때부터 우리는 게임사기 당하면서 살고있음ㅋ
절도하는사람들은 그냥 로또임.다잡히고 합의금받을수있는데 절도하는사람은 지능으로 문제있지 절도를 왜해 사기치고말지 사기 전세계1위는 대한민국임ㅋㅋ한국인이 도덕적이다 한국인으로 웃고간다

Such a compact neighborhood and yet quiet. If this was in America, it would be so loud and bustling with people and cars because it would be a plaza.
Right? Everything fits so well here. I also agree that if this neighborhood were in the States, there would be tons of cars and loud noises.
Amazing, you can read Korean letters.

@@francoismarc3 ive been around lol just very busy lol but ive got some great news coming up. i live in new jersey. where i used to live there was a convenient store, an ice cream stand and a micro brewery and a restaurant of sorts about 15-20 min from my house by walking. not a bad vibe on a nice night. u could walk another 10 or so min to stores and the post office and a lot of other stuff lol. before i had a car i would just walk everywhere. It would be about an hour walk ( 30 up and 30 back) to the area where this was all located. I used to take walks very late at night because i suck at sleeping and walking would help take my mind off of some things and burn some energy. It was so cool seeing the town in a dead silent sleeping state. i would stand in the middle of the intersections and snap my fingers and listen to the echo bounce off of everything it was so cool. i would hit up the liquor store and wawa in that area grab a 4 loco and a slim jim or something and drink/snack on the way back home. i always meant to make a video about those walks but never got around to it then we moved a year ago. I did however take some pics that i think i still have and if you want to see them i could send you somehow. i think you would get a kick out of them lol sry for the long response.
@@francoismarc3 did my last comment not make it through it was kind of long
@sixx_xlr it didn't...I don't see it:(
@@francoismarc3 damn it must have been to long or something haha umm the tldr ig is my old neighborhood was semi walkable once you got to the general area witch was about 15 -20 min away from where i lived by foot. the longest walk was to the strip mall where the grocery store was witch was about 30 min away by foot. I used to take night walks all the time really late at night because i suck at sleeping lol i always meant to take a video of those walks but never got around to it but i think i still have some of the pictures i took if you were interested in seeing them somehow
11:48 they have maintenance issue on that machines. Usually machines are out of order then turned off permanently within few years...

I'm an American currently living in Seoul. Its so much safer and more convenient. Living here I lost 6 kilos in 6 months and my heartburn/acid reflux issues disappeared like magic... I could imagine myself living here long term after I finish 한국어 school.
It's definitely a city worth living in. Just gotta be careful with money. A lot of things to buy in Seoul hahah

I'm Korean and have lived here in Seoul whole my life. And I haven't noticed that I've taken this convenience for granted snice I watched this video.
Ohhh that's why I traveled a lot to get to any happening places when I was abroad.
저는 평생을 서울에서 살아 온 한국 사람입니다. 그래서 이 편리함을 당연하게 여겼다는 것을 이 비디오를 보기 전까진 깨닫지 못했습니다.
아, 그래서 외국에서는 핫스팟에 가기 위해 많은 이동을 해야 했던 거군요.

When you buy a ready made box like that how many servings are inside? I can't believe how well Seoul is planned. My parents travel almost an hour for a Korean dentist or hairstylist.
I’m not sure if Seoul is the most convenient, but it’s definitely one of them.
your bike is my bike.
Hahahahahaahaha I like this comment lol
korean don't take anything expensive, but I take a bicycle or an umbrella because I put the value on 'convenience'.
In Korea, not everyone is perfectly moral too. Expensive items do not steal because they suffer a great deal of damage compared to the monetary value they earn.
In the case of bicycles and umbrellas, they occur frequently because they can have the value to relieve the 'inconvenience' that I need right away and because they are not expensive, the damage that comes back to me is not significant.
Hah! You have added great logic to the conversation!! Thank you so much!!!!
I often steal umbrellas and bike saddles in Japan, but they are similar

100 years ago, most houses in Korea had their doors open. As industrialization and urbanization progressed in the 1970s, much has changed in today's Korea.
They never had doors(with the exception of the rich yangbans and king's palaces) for their homes in Korean history.

주거 비용이 비싼 지역은
지하철 역이 있는 구간입니다. 편리성 때문
지하철 역이 있는 구간에는 모든것이 있어요
그래서 한국인들은 지하철 역 까지 걸어서 가는 5분 이내 거리, 10분 정도 거리를 선호 합니다. 물론 주거 비용이 비싸기도 합니다
비용을 아끼고 걷기 좋아한다면 조금 멀리 떨어진곳을 추천 합니다, 😊

Not true that they can’t have the same self serving store in the US. Because we do have the stores in the US.

@@alfonsowillock5801 but you are talking about few stores in NY. in korea, it is everywhere. Stores with no cashier, no owners, you pay and pick up stuff and go.
Woah, first off... This video popped off! What did you do differently... I think maybe the POV stuff!? Well done!
Hey, thanks, B! I don't know why hahaha. Could be the POV? All I know is that I need to set aside one full day to respond to all the comments. I'm grateful:)
No need to reply to this, but my observation is that yes...
This is a legit POV walking tour. We feel like we are in your shoes, but I think with straight vlogs, we are seeing you as the main character in the story whereas this one, you are making the audience the main character.
I felt like I actually experienced your neighborhood!
Also, starting with the reader with the kid walking by himself was smart...
I really think you should do a bunch of neighborhood POV walking tours just like this.
Maybe do your regular content but mix this style in every few videos... because I noticed your last three videos have blown up, and all three have a diverse style, so that's great...
Also, congrats on the 12k!! Keep growing... Way to go!!
@@BrianCatalano This is great advice as always, Brian!! I think I will add a few POV neighborhood videos like me eating and stuff! That may be a nice change from constant vlogging!

@@francoismarc3 I get that but, maybe record your trip like you want to but also consider doing one POV... Or not. Try not to follow the views per se, but follow your interests while just keeping in mind what works because it indicates that something is resonating. Don't overthink it!
Korea does everything better ❤
CCTV가 그렇게나 많았구나.
대부분의 평범한 한국인은 CCTV가 있건 없건 도둑질은 생각하지도 않습니다. CCTV가 많아서 치안이 절도가 안 일어나는 것이 아닙니다. 한국은 CCTV가 적은 지역이나 별로 없던 시절에도 상점 밖에 물건을 진열하였고 가정집 대문도 닫지 않고 지냈습니다.
CCTVS are everywhere in Korea...Definitely helps to keep the crime rate low.
한국은 인당 cctv 순위 50위에도 못드는 나라 입니다. 우리보다 cctv 많은 영국이나 멕시코 호주 터키 이런 나라들이 한국보다 안전한가요?? 그냥 교육의 차이 국민성 차이 입니다..
자전거를 도난하는 사람들 주로 청소년,외국인노동자,중국인. 우리나라 청소년들 스케쥴 바빠서 남의 자전거 타고가다 버리고감. 절대 다시안탐. 얘들아 ! 제발 제자리에 돌려놔라.
지나친 인종주의. 한국인은 절도하지 않는다? 자전거 훔치는 자는 외국인들 뿐이다?
전 재산을 투자해 한국에 돈 벌러 왔는데 자전거를 훔쳐? 들키면 추방 당할텐데 뭐하러? 누가봐도 외국인 외모에 발음으로 자전거를 팔 수도 없는데?
한국인은 훔치는게 아니라 바빠서 빌려가는 거일 뿐? 진짜 외국인이 볼까봐 창피한 글이다. 그렇게 바쁜데 자물쇠를 파괴할 시간은 있고? 공유 자전거를 고를 시간은 없고?
국뽕과 인종주의가 지나쳐서 정상적인 사고 조차 못하시네.
I just subscribed your channel, and thank you for your real life experiences based compliments about living in Korea.

👎, 당신의 주장은 그냥 인종혐오입니다.
나도 중국을 싫어하는 한국인이지만 사람마다 모두 같을 수는 없기에 모두를 하나의 나쁜 악의 결정체인양 일반화 해서는 안됩니다.
한국에 거주하는 외국인의 수가 늘어갈수록 외국인의 범죄비율이 포함이 되는 것 뿐이며 중국국적의 외국이 많다 보니 비율상 많은 것입니다.
범죄는 한국인이나 외국인이나 중국인이나 모두 다 나쁘며 법적으로 처벌을 해야 합니다.
