Thanks so much for the warm comments as always Howard! 😊 Hope you can make it to Korea some day! It's really unique in the fact that it was pretty untouched by the outside world for a really long time and has only recently developed, so there are so many interesting things to learn and explore here!
Awesome! Very good quality video and explanations with interesting information. Love seeing Seoul´s vibe, food and streets. Waiting on the next video 😉
Thanks so much Alberto! 😊 Seoul is such a unique city in the sense that it can be fully futuristic, fully traditional, super expensive, and super cheap all at the same time. You can literally make it the place you want it to be, and it's incredibly safe which makes it super comfortable to live in. Will try and show as much as we can, as it's a really special place! 😁
Hi Ruskovski this is great! You definitely have to try the cheap restaurants in Sinchon, and give the Samgyeopsal place a try too as it's a really local joint and you can see a slice of life here without a lot of tourists. We're going to keep making videos like this for each district in Seoul so hopefully we can find some more cool places to share. Hope you enjoy your trip to Korea!! 😁
Thanks a lot Thoan! 😁 You should definitely check out the 돈까스 place if you haven't been! If you are biking on the Han River, there is a really good road that follows the 서강대교 all the way up to 신촌역, and there is a lot of room to bike next to the cars to get there. Check it out if you are passing by! Stay safe out there!!
Wow that must be so exciting Yang Seo! Is it your first time coming here? I wish I could come to Korea for the first time again where everything is brand new and exciting! You're going to have a blast!
That's a brilliant video, great content and presentation and exactly what we need to know when we get to Seoul for 6 weeks in Korea by 🚲. Getting heaps of inspiration from your channel. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Leo
Great content! Really appreciate that u put in effort to include link and names of shop that u visited and recommended 👍 save me hassle to find out myself and have more time to explore about seoul in my upcoming trip in nov! Thankyou:)
Thanks a lot Alex! 😁 Fully agree! If you can get something amazing for cheap then might as well go for it! I've had restaurants that were super expensive but everything was just for the food's appearance and not for the flavor, and I left so disappointed haha. Hard to be disappointed when it's 3,000 KRW and delicious though!!
Highly recommend them! Especially the samgyeopsal and tonkatsu place, and right beside the tonkatsu place there is kimchi-jjim (김치찜)/jjeyuk-bokkeum (제육볶음) place. The jjeyuk-bokkeum (spicy pork with rice) was amazing!
They are so amazing right Daniel!? 😁 When we first moved to Mapo-gu I had no idea that we could find so many budget friendly options, but so happy we did!
From Daeheung station you can make it to the Han River in about 10-15 minutes by foot. It's actually not that far distance wise but there are a lot of traffic lights that you have to wait for which makes it longer.
Is it possible to eat well socially in korea (work events, family gathering) if you don't eat spicy foods well?. I may have to try and raise my spicy tolerance.
This is a really good question! A common misconception here is that all Korean food is really spicy, but a lot of Koreans also have a very low spicy tolerance and prefer to avoid really spicy food. Usually there will be different options and spiciness levels to accommodate people's spicy tolerance, and it's completely acceptable to tell people: 매운 걸 잘 못 먹어요 (Mae-un geol jal mot meo-geo-yo) = I can't eat spicy food that well. Actually to be honest, most people in Korea assume I can't eat spicy food so they ask in advance if I'd like it less spicy than normal, and I usually have to tell them to make it the same as they do for Koreans because I like spicy food. However, I'd go to your supermarket and look for Shin Ramyun (the red Korean instant noodles). That's the exact spicy level you will deal with a lot here, so it's a good idea of what to expect and you can see how spicy things will be when you get here and if you need to raise your tolerance a bit or not.
@@lostthenfound Thanks, I'll check out that ramyun and begin my testing!. I think the misconception comes from watching korean media. On a great deal of variety shows, drama's and films, koreans are usually depicted eating spicy kimchi, extra spicy ramyun and stuff like that. It makes it seem like koreans rarely eat anything other than spicy food. I suppose its prudent of me to expect the media to play to that bias and expectation, and that not every meal in korea is going to burn my face off!.
@@ONCEbittenTWICEshyshyshy 100%! TV tends to pick and choose the topics that seem the most interesting, but it creates an image in a lot of people's heads that that's actually what life is like here. Makes it all the more exciting when you come and see just how many things they don't show you though!
Best vlog.. Really.. Please make more videos about korea.. Really enjoying your videos make videos about part time jobs on f6 visa.. Or tell your visa status in korea. 😊 Make videos about streets cheap places to buy clothes and shoes.. Cheap groceries stores and places. Please make complete guidelines
Thanks so much for this really nice comment Ad li! 😊 Those are great ideas for videos, I wrote them down and a lot of them can be done for sure! We've made a video about cheap groceries already, but we've learnt a little bit more about it so we will make a new version of it soon too! 😁
@@lostthenfound i always helps to give you alot of ideas about videos.. Make videos about factory worker or dairy farm worker and go to jeju island on a ferry ⛴ not a ✈ plane and make a video about living in a guest house for boys and girls separately and make a video about whether you can go to subway with a folded bicycle or not or tell make a video about which line number train to take bicycle with..
@@adii4584 these are also great video ideas thanks so much! 🙏 Ah I especially want to make a dairy farm/factory worker video so badly. It's a tough one to plan but I think it's a really important topic especially for people who are considering doing it!
It's a pretty insane deal eh! The free coffee is gone now unfortunately (but price is still the same). I had like 3 coffee tickets saved up to use, but the cafe has now changed into a Japanese Ramen place from what I remember.
Hahah so much cheaper than Jeju eh! 🤣 We are going to make videos like this in other neighborhoods in Seoul too (also other cities) I think because we've done some research and there are actually some great places everywhere!
Haha thanks a lot @Mudskipper9876! It's almost starting to become a problem sometimes so it's not something to brag about, but luckily it all comes back fast when I visit Canada.
Thanks to you S Korea is on my list of places that I want to visit. Thank you for your enjoyable and informative vlogs. Regards

Can't wait for our trip in Korea in October. Hope to meet both of you. Thanks for the great video.
Must be getting so excited! 😁 You guys will have a blast! Also let us know when you are in Seoul and maybe we can grab a bite to eat or something!
I accidentally stumbled upon this video, and i added all the places to my wish list! I am planning to visit Korea on a budget soon. Take care! :)

I am of the thinking: no matter how much disposable income you have… there is no need to over pay!
Nicely done 👍🏼

장난 아니지? 정말 맛있었엉 😆
OMGGGGG! I literally go to this dontaksu and 설렁탕 place every day haha
Its sooo worth it 👌
They are so amazing right Daniel!? 😁 When we first moved to Mapo-gu I had no idea that we could find so many budget friendly options, but so happy we did!
3000원 돈까스 퀄리티가 너무 좋은데?!
커피까지 완벽하잖아!
꼬숑은 찐 돈깨쓰...👍
from pomosori channel good luck keep growing
Thanks a lot Tina! 😊
how far is Han river from Exit 3 Daeheung, is it walkable distance
From Daeheung station you can make it to the Han River in about 10-15 minutes by foot. It's actually not that far distance wise but there are a lot of traffic lights that you have to wait for which makes it longer.

Ohlala as an affordable meal hunter, I couldn't believe that Donkatsu is priced at 3,5K KRW. I wonder if the FREE COFFEE is still there at the moment.
It's a pretty insane deal eh! The free coffee is gone now unfortunately (but price is still the same). I had like 3 coffee tickets saved up to use, but the cafe has now changed into a Japanese Ramen place from what I remember.
We are close to here now. There’s a line up here now!
Oh wow nice! Did you go to the Tonkatsu place? The BBQ place in this video has closed down now unfortunately. I'll update the description with that.
@@lostthenfound we didn’t go because there was a long line up we will try again closer to when it opens, we are around the corner from it.
@@lostthenfound it would be nice to meet up if you have time ! Thanks
@@lostthenfound small world eh? Maybe it was fate to run into each other of all the places to be in Seoul some how it happened lmao 🤣
@@adsxdaz haha it was nice running into you guys! Thanks for saying hello too! Hope you have an awesome trip! 😁
Now I feel that I can survive in Korea if I go there
Hahah so much cheaper than Jeju eh! 🤣 We are going to make videos like this in other neighborhoods in Seoul too (also other cities) I think because we've done some research and there are actually some great places everywhere!
Love the forgotten English. Shows you have been influenced by Korea.
