Hey guys if u dont mind me asking what camera do use?
I like Seoul korea
At 14 minutes and 20 seconds, what you ate on the street is called "엿" or yeot in Korean. This is made by boiling a mixture of steamed rice and dried malt with water, allowing it to simmer for an extended period. This process extracts the malt components from the rice's starch, resulting in a sweet taste in the boiled liquid, which we call "식혜" or Sikhye. If you continue to boil Sikhye, the moisture evaporates, and it transforms into "조청" or Jocheong, which translates to "human-made honey." As it loses its water content, Jocheong becomes thicker and even sweeter. If you further boil Jocheong, it eventually solidifies into a dense, solid form known as "엿," or yeot which is similar to candy but also has medicinal properties beneficial to the human body.
It's amazing how this long process creates a sweet delicacy from rice, without the addition of any artificial flavours or sugar! We really liked it - the chewy texture only added to its value 😋 Thanks for explaining everything to us!
@@JayeshChhaya yes it's true~! there are no artificial things & sugar
@@JayeshChhaya If you are still in Korea, I can provide information about foods you must try.
I will be visiting South Korea, it will be my first time. I pray I don’t get lost
@@chi__chiatuegwu If you visit Korea, you have to study a lot about Korean food. Because traveling is about seeing a view of the country and eating the food of the country. To eat various Korean foods in your country, it is difficult to know such places and you have to pay more than five times the price. So, if you come to Korea and experience a lot of Korean food, you will be rewarded with your plane ticket payment. However, you have to be careful not to go to the hospital by eating too much food at once. It will ruin your trip, after all. It is a good idea to search for Korean food on KZhead or find out by asking Chatgpt to tell you 30 typical Korean foods. Of course, there are things you need to know more about in detail. These are ways about where to go and how to eat. It is not that easy, either, because there are desserts and bunsik in addition to simple foods. Some foods can be disappointed if you do not know what the food is aiming for and do not listen to the detailed explanations.
Welcome to Korea ❤❤❤
즐거운 여행 되시길 바랍니다 😊😊😊
안전하고 즐거운 여행되세요 🇰🇷 🎉😊❤
Welcome to KOREA 한국에서 즐거운 추억 많이 만드시길 바래요~~❤
구독해드렸습니다. 한국을 사랑해주셔서 감사합니다.
Welcome to Korea. Currently, Korea is experiencing a long holiday season similar to Thanksgiving in the United States. Therefore, most people in Seoul are leaving for their hometowns, and most of those who remain are likely to be people who cannot go to their hometowns and are unable to rest. So, they may be people who are having a depressed time. That's why their expressions are not bright. Please note that many stores are closed for the time being. I hope you have a pleasant trip in Seoul.
Hope everyone will have a great time during CHUSOEK 🙏✨
Korea has good public Wi-Fi anywhere in cities and public places Also, subway, bus, etc Therefore, Korea is the first IT powerhouse in the world to develop and commercialize 4G and 5G communication networks.
It’s pretty impressive!
Wow! welcome to Korea!! 🇰🇷 Have a happy time!~~👍👍😁
다른 나라의 문화를 체험하는 것은 늘 흥미롭죠. 환영합니다. 즐겁게 보내고 안전하게 귀국하시길 바랍니다.
It’s pretty cool right! Thanks 👍
즐거운 여행 되세요🤗
즐거운 여행이 되시기를 빕니다 🙏 🎉🎉
Korean do not exchange greetings just because you made an eye contact with them, but when you walk up to them ask question or ask for help they will try to help you with kindness. Also one thing to be aware they won’t say sorry or excuse me even if they accidentally bump into you. That’s just how it is in Korea.
Nice to know that you have researched extended information prior to your travel. Enjoying watching your travel in Korea
Great video with beautiful views. The places look absolutely stunning🎉. 🎉🎉
This video is great. We all love Korea❣
My first impression is that Seoul hides a lot to discover 🙊 Waiting for more vlogs 🇰🇷
It's exactly what it is! More to come! 😍
Wowee!!! Can’t wait for more videos to come
Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying watching our travels 😍
Good work guys! ^^ loved this video !!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😍
항상 잘보고있습니다
좋은 여행 시간이 되시길 빌어요 😊.
Welcome to Korea. ❤🎉 Thanks! 😊 Please, Come to my place in the Korea again. THANKS ALL!😊
I love videos like this that show each little step of the arrival process. Thanks for sharing!! 😃
You are so welcome! We are thinking of coming back to South Korea since we still have a lot to film 😎 It's way different from any other country!
Welcome to Korea !!! (I know I am late but you know I watched your video a couple of months ago.)
I hope you have fun. Carlotta is absolutely beautiful
I literally loved this video it was quite fun to watch. New subscriber❤
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I appreciate you all making this. I’m nervous about finding the train and making it to Seoul station but you all made that look very easy! I’m going in a few months and I cannot wait! 감사합니다 ☺️
Our pleasure! I'm sure you'll have fun! 😍🇰🇷
Welcome to Korea. You explain your trip to Korea comfortably. I really hope you both enjoy your trip to Korea. ❤❤
I've just been to the airport in Korea. I hope to visit their for a holiday in the future
영어로 듣는 한국여행 새롭네요. 즐거운 여행 되셨길 바랍니다. 수백번 가본곳이지만 다른 관점에서 보는 느낌도 인상적이였습니다. 다른곳도 소개 많이 해주세요 구독하겠습니다.
We’ve spent 3 weeks in Korea, travelled through different cities and tried different foods to really immerse ourselves into the local culture 😇 Glad you enjoyed the first video! See our SK playlist for more 🇰🇷✨
I hope U have much great time in Korea ❤
Thank you for sharing your video. It was very informative and I am looking forward to my first adventure to South Korea in the near future.
Thank you so much!
haha i straightly watch this video when got the notification, becoz i miss Seoul sooo much! and your first meal is Isaac Toast!! the one that Karolina ordered is my fave!! enjoy your 20 days in Korea, guys! i'm waiting for next next video! ^^ would you guys go to Gwangjang sijang (market) and Tongin sijang? street food in Seoul are good!! but yes at Myeongdong its a bit pricey..should try at Hongdae (Hongik University) area and at traditional market ^^
Thank you so much 😍 We’ve been to the Gwangjang and Namdaemun Markets and we loved Hotteok & Tteobokki ❤️
Can’t wait for more videos in South Korea 😁 Stay safe & stay healthy 😊 Keep it up! 💪 Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩👋🏼
Thank youuuuuuu!
Welcome to Korea!🇰🇷 Hope you have a good trip 5:40 Actually this seat is for the elderly and pregnant womans, but I think Koreans will understand you because people from other countries might not know well about the culture here And for Issac toast, Koreans usually eat this for lunch or snack. I'm pretty sure the sweet sauce is made from kiwi.
한국에서 좋은시간되길
Great video. One thing I'd recommend anyone traveling to Korea to do is learn Hangeul. It's quite easy and you can probably learn it on the airplane. Even if you don't understand the meaning, if you know how to read, it will help you with signage like in 16:38. And people can help you better.
When traveling foreign country should prepared to speak to be able to get around. It's rude to expect Korean speak non- Korean.
Would you learn every language just for a one week stay?@@heavenhaven7254
Interesting! I was in SK a few weeks ago to see family and google maps worked just fine for me! I hope you had an excellent time in SK! 🎉
It wasn’t working when you wanted to choose the walking path and also the app didn’t show us most of the connections 👀
Welcome to korea... I hope you have a happy time....
Enjoy your holiday
The rice candy you tried is candy made of rice syrup. So there is no added refined white sugar granules, but it is still a form of suger just little less refined/processed and has a little minerals still remaining. So you could say it's slightly less harmful than regular candies made of white sugar and food coloring.
New country😊❤❤ love your videos❤
한국에 온걸 환영해요!!!
I haven’t even made it 5 mins through the video and already I am in love with all the amazing information you have provided. As someone who wants to travel to Korea and may be a little bit well a lot bit lost and confused this video is giving me so much insight and Information that I have slightly less anxiety now. Thank you so much for this great content.
🥹 Thank you so much! We try to be entertaining and informative in the same time so that you would have the best viewing experience! I can definitely agree that making research before entering a new country by watching vlogs/reading the vlogs is very helpful for us too 👍
5:38 The seats at the end of the carriage, like this one, are for the elderly, children, and the disabled, as well as those with transportation disabilities. There is a sign posted on the window behind the seat.
OMG how cute this man (Jayesh) is!!!!!!!!!!!
Seoul is amazing, just came back from there and want to visit it again!! Nice video guys! 🎉 Enjoy!!
It really is! Korea amazed us wherever we've been to really 😍
즐거운 여행이였다니 다행입니다 또 오세요
👍👍👍I love this channel 100%.
Seoul ❤🇰🇷
I just want to say thank you to you two, you are very funny, a cute couple, and I hope you don't give up on visiting Indonesia, and I hope it will be a great experience,🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you so much 😍 We will be back in the near future for sure!
행복한여행 되세요 환영합니다~♡♡
즐거운 한국여행 되시길 바랍니다.구독버튼 누르고가요^^
매우 감사합니다! 우리는 지금까지 서울을 아주 즐겁게 지내왔습니다! 🥳
Jay congratulations on the video you made 😄 Karolina you're nice 😘
My dream has always been to go on holiday to Korea, hopefully one day I can go there
Hi, just found your channel by random, thought would give a brief watch as not really into travel vlogs but watched till the end as really enjoyed :) just subscribed and liked video so will be watching more :)
Awesome, thank you! We're glad to hear that because we really put a lot of effort into planning our videos to make them interesting and knowledgeable :) We have different series (UK one coming soon! 🤫🇬🇧) so hope you'll choose something for yourself!
@@JayeshChhaya You can tell how much effort you put into them as just watched a couple of others and all been really good :) I live in the UK so will be good to see where you go, apparently the Isle of White has some visually beautiful spots (Not just for the old) when weather gets better maybe one place to visit that not many do videos on. Anyway, thank you for the videos keep doing the way you're doing them as spot on!
@@TheInovacane we've upgraded our camera for the UK series - I'd appreciate your feedback when we upload them next month as you seem to pay attention to the details! You can also DM me on Instagram if you prefer @JayeshChhaya
Thank you Jayesh I lived in New Zealand really appreciate your sharing your video for first time to Korea and yes me and my family and some friends maybe 18 of us will be visiting Korea in October 10th to attend a close friend wedding in Jeonju and your video gave me so much knowledge how to move around and also advise us to use the Navel Map not the google map as usual we always uses google map.
You are welcome Serene! I lived in Auckland for over a year and travelled around NZ in my early twenties and it holds a special place in my heart :) Funnily enough were going back to Korea and will be there in October too!
since tehcnically Korea is still at war, google maps is disabled and wont work with the outside world because North Korea can have access. Us locals are using kakao map, T map, and naver map for navigation use.
I hope you make a lot of good memories on your trip in Seoul. I wish you all the best
Thank you so much! We hope so too!
I think it's sticky taffy candy made from rice. It's very healthy candy in Korea.
welcome♡
Japanese and Korean "traditional" architecture are real Chinese architecture (different dynasties architectural styles). The Chinese character " 華 " represents " China/Chinese(Han) ", and the image of " 華 " is a logo of Chinese architectural wood structure, which is the unique architectural style of China. It represents the extent of the power and influence of ancient China. Japanese "traditional" architecture was replicated by the Chinese Tang Dynasty architecture (black roof). Many buildings were replicated at the time of Chinese Tang Dynasty architecture (simple version) at that time. It was almost the same. In the Ming Dynasty of China, it was in charge of Korea's territory and regime. It was a Chinese architecture built by colonial Korea (it was created by the technical guidance of the Chinese), and it was by no means Korean "traditional" architecture. In ancient Korea, there was no such complex architectural technology. Korea's local traditional architecture was a cottage built by grass. ----------------------- On the ancient peninsula (today in Korea), the royal family and nobles were Chinese and descendants (recognized by the Chinese emperor's governance peninsula). They speak Chinese official language (and Chinese dialects). They use Chinese characters.They wear Chinese noble clothes. They use Chinese coins. They have always claimed to be Chinese. They use Chinese emperor as their parents (except the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are not the Han emperors). Civilians and slaves are the southernmost indigenous people on the peninsula-Koreans. In history, ancneit Korean are called "White clothes ethnic". All Koreans wear pure white clothes (except for very few people who work for Chinese nobles). Korean women's clothes expose their nipples. They speak Korean language. There is no characters (only appeared after the 15th century). There is no coin (product exchange). Almost all Korean are illiterate. (Until 1890. Westerners and Japanese entered the peninsula. ----------------------- Ancient Chinese officials and scholars living on the Korean Peninsula on the Korean Peninsula. They have a deep understanding of Chinese characters. Combined with the language of the "White clothes ethnic" (today Korean), to create "Korean characters". People who do not understand Chinese language and Chinese characters. They can't create Korean characters. The ancient Koreans were banned from using Chinese characters. Because only Chinese officials and Chinese on the Korean Peninsula could be used. The goal of invented the "Korean characters". Chinese officials can show various tasks to the indigenous writings and command slaves through the "Korean characters". "Korean text" is mainly used for indigenous people.
Myeongdong just completely transformed after around 2012 when foreign tourists started coming in masses. Before then myeongdong was just like another busy shopping areas in Korea. But since around 2012 the area somehow just changed to a area that's completely dedicated to serving foreign tourists needs. Since then no Koreans actually go there to do anything. We actually go there when we feel like we want to see tourists from around the world. 😂 And talking about street food there, the price is really overpriced because it's only aimed for foreign tourists and since they don't know the prices very well and are willing to pay more because it feels like exploring Korean culture. But anyways I wish you had good time in Korea!
Is Insadong cheaper for Street Food? Street shops?
@@or3609yes i want to know this too. Will be going there in April.
welcome to korea🎉❤
I love those T money card! So convenient and you can even use at the convenient store. BTW people in Korea are very warm, caring and sweet. But right after work they are probably stressed. When you go to parks, restaurants, and etc they are all smiley and fun!😊
Yes they are! We needed a bit more time to realise it 😇 And the further South we’ve gone, the nicer people are! T-money card is such an amazing thing to have!
The reason the subway in Seoul is quiet is because the announcement in the carriage keeps telling people to turn down the volume on their phones so as not to disturb others and to use earphones, so people keep quiet. And since most people are alone, there is no one to talk to.
쫄깃한 엿을 사드셨네요❤ 웰컴투 코리아❤
Isaac Toast is the most affordable toast chain in Korea! It's a popular snack among students. I'm craving it after a long time! Korea's public transportation is very affordable, receiving over 80% of its funding from the government through taxes! It's a great to travel. Have a happy journey!
We loved it! It was the best quick and fresh snack on the go 😜 Yes! Totally agree - the transportation was great!
Omg that sandwich was huge 😮🎉
Looksike had a nice one! I live around an Isaac toast place. I need to try, it's been a year I'm telling this to myself 😂
You should! It's so good 😋
I love this video!!>< super cute couple 😍
So cute❤
Great video! For your SIM, it looks like you have the newest iPhone. Did you have to replace a physical sim or did they provide you some kind of "esim?" Thank you!
Great🎉🎉🎉
Wonderful
❤Welcome to seoul❤🎉🎉
기대됩니다... 볼게 없어서 실망하면 어쩌나 걱정이네요 그러나 외국인 시점에서는 신기할수도 있겠죠..ㅎ 서대문구청 뒷동산인 안산 꼭 추천합니다 올라가기 쉬워요~
한국에 오신걸 환영해요❤ 즐거운 시간 보내길 바래요~~~
Yup, a city where you need to have multiple cards, like Jakarta 😂 Seoul is lightyears ahead of Jakarta, it feels like a whole brand new world there. But Jakarta has been improving a lot these recent years so I hope the gap would be getting smaller. Anw, just a simple knowledge to read a Korean word as a fellow non-korean: "eo" is read like "o" in God, "eu" is read like "e" in "listen" but a bit deeper, "ae" is read like "e" in "bear" or "breath", "myeo" or "gyeo" and something like that have to be read quickly, "Myeong-dong" not "mi-yeong-dong". Can't wait for the next vlogs. I've been following your journey from your visit in Indonesia.
Welcome to Korea. It seems that you have already studied a lot about the things for compact trip! haha Have a nice time here in Korea.
Thank you! We like to do small research always before entering the country! However, the real culture you can only experience later on during the trip 😊
I enjoyed my visit to SKorea!
We did too ❤️ Actually we’re coming back this autumn/winter time!
잘보고 갑니다요
Good 😊 welcome korea 😊
Hope you are having / had fun time in Korea! You couple is like the only foreign vlogger I have seen who avoided street food! lol So smart of you two.
We tried to watch others eat, but it wasn't that obvious haha, thank you for the tips 🙏
환영합니다 🤗
I come to korea on the 5 of oct but go to busen first. The station that have many people art on the wall is my station I go on my last day to visit one of the culture village.
welcome to korea
My hubby and I watched several of your videos. We are v curious, someone is doing the filming and you not selfie all the time right? Very clear visual and audio. Thank you for all the sharing!
Hey! I do pretty much all the filming and hold the camera. Sometimes Karolina records me whilst I do something or I put the camera on a tripod and talk away :) Thank you very much!
Oh guys , Chungmuro & Donguk univ station is so close walking distance
Greetings from S.Korea Hope u guys have a safe and wonderful trip in Seoul :)
Hello. Nice to meet you 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow, is it really your first time in Korea? You seem to understand and use the Korean system really well. Or maybe everything in Korea is conveniently organized.
13:50 here sweet candy, it's yeot. Korean hard taffy. very old style candy. It's tasty.
On the 50,000 won bill, the woman is Shin Saimdang. She was a rookie and painter in the Joseon Dynasty.
You can also use your T- money in most convenient stores. If you ever get back to Seoul I can show you around a typical middle class neighborhood.
That would be awesome 😍🙏
한국에 오신 것을 환영합니다. 저도 전 세계를 여행하며 경험을 공유하는 꿈을 가지고 있어요. 안전하고 행복한 여행 되세요. 좋은 추억만 남기고 가시길 바라요.. 😊 기회가 된다면 서울뿐 아니라 고즈넉한 시골 지방도 찾아볼 수 있길 바랍니다!
We stayed in total of 3 weeks in South Korea and we really enjoyed it! 😍 We also wanted to see another side of the country, so we went to cities such as Jeonju, Gwangju, Gyoengju, which gave us a lot to discover, because the cities were different, but also the people and food... And what's more - we plan to come back at the end of the year because we really we liked it!
@@JayeshChhaya 소중한 답변! 정말 감사드려요.. 인생이 사시는 모든 시간 동안 참된 행복과 축복된 일들만 가득하길 기도하겠습니다. 언제나 행복만 가득하고, 즐거운 여행 되시길 바랄게요. 존경하고 동경합니다. ❤

You made a little mistake on the subway from the airport to Seoul Station. You sat in a seat reserved for the disabled and elderly. There are no fines for sitting in a disabled seat, but Koreans leave it empty out of courtesy. Have a good time in Korea~ ^^
외국인들은 괜찮아요.😅 관광객들이라 자세히 모르시는것을 알고 있고, 여행다니느라 피곤할텐데 앉아도 뭐라고 안합니다.
Incredible ❤
welcome,bro❤️❤️❤️
