Is KOREA as Friendly as we thought? 48 Hours in Daegu [S8-E18] 

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.

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

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!

Im so glad the people from Korea have been so welcoming.

The kindness of a stranger is priceless and never forgotten 😊

It is lovely traveling with you. Thanks so much for taking us along. Korea is now on the top of my list!

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.

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.

대구는 내고향 정다운 내고향. 대구에서 좋은 추억을 만드셨네요.

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.

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💙

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.

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

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.

You've experienced the complete authentic Gyeongsang-do style of kindness in Busan and Daegu. I hope you have a great trip in Korea.

This has really opened my eyes to travelling off the beaten track. Such wonderful people in korea xx

Many Koreans and Japanese comes in my country , and those I personaly come to met are friendly and polite .

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.

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.^^

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.

Another positive video. Way to go South Korea so heart warming to see such kindness, our world needs more of this🥰 xxx

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.

Your videos are so inspiring, and always put a smile on my face, keep it up!

Daegu is the hottest city in South Korea. I can’t believe that you have visited there in summer!

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.

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.

한국인들은 평소에 표정이 굳어있기 때문에 차가운 사람들이라고 생각할수 있습니다. 나는 서양인들이 언제나 웃고 인사하는 모습을 존경합니다.

환영합니다❤ 감사해요 한국에 여행 오셔서

Marianne, you connect with the right people because you’re both so overwhelmingly open and friendly. You draw them to you.

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!

It is my joy to find out your delightful experience in my hometown, Daegu.

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.

Would love to be 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!

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

When you’re looking for a new bungee cord, those helpful and friendly Koreans are of one a cord

Welcome to Daegu ❤

내가 보기엔 좋은 사람들이기 때문에 좋은 사람들을 만난 것 같다.

촣은분 만나 조금이 나마 즐거우셨겠네요 파티 ㅇㅇ 한복 잘 어울리는 것같아요 해피~~~~~❤❤❤

i really like anna joke and warm heart. thats so natural kkkk

even watching you walking around daegu in summer makes me sweat

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.

brilliant video, you do meet some very nice people on your travels. did you get the scammers sorted out

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!

Awesome, fantastic and wonderful ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Anna is amusing person

Very nice

Korean people are the best

Here's a funny story from my time in Daegu. I would sometimes hear some Korean old guys talking on their cell phones and they sound like they are in a furious argument. I would ask my Korean friends, "What's he going on about? What's he arguing about?" Their reply always be, "Oh, nothing. They're just talking." I told this to the lady who works as a dental assistant at my dentist's office and she laughed. She's from Seoul and she told that is just the Daegu style of speaking. She told that even to Koreans who aren't from Daegu it sounds like they are arguing.

Hey Tread the globe🎉

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.

외국인의 시선으로 한국을 여행하는걸 보니까 신기하고 재미있네

Engine sealant is better to seal the roof skylight as it is temperature rated. I used in mine and it's been leaks free for the last 3 years.

what an amazing place and wonderful people ♥♥

Rofl, Daegu is called by ppl in Korea as Daefrica because it is exceptionally hot. The city is surrounded by mountains and hot air from solar convection has no where to go but up in normal irradiation, and people happen to be on the way up, baking them. I was born in the city of Daegu, left with my family when I was 12; now I live in Southern California. It was friggin hot growing up. Now I know why, rofl.

서문시장이다!!!!대구에서 제일 큰 시장 입니다!!!!!!!!!!!!

여유가 있다면 봄이나 가을에 여행하면 좋아요.

I totally want the recipe and instructions for those korean 'donuts' please!?! What are they called?

I am Korean.I've been living in Seoul for 50 years.Seoul people in Korea don't get along very well with their neighbors.Even though we live in the same building for several years, we don't greet each other very well. More than 10 million people live in Seoul, but more than half of them will be lonely every day. Most Koreans are always tired from working too much. GOOD LUCK

Koreans are generally intrinsically extremely self-motivated and competitive who drive themselves to the limit. That's why they identify more easily with people from advanced successful nations like the US and Europe. The same may not hold true for less advanced countries, which is understandable of course. That's just their culture...I find that normal.

Does anyone know if they are in Korea oh wait yes they only have mention Korea like 1000 times but another great vid guys keep em coming

좋은사람들 많이 만나셨네요,, 두분이 착해서 그럴수도ㅎㅎ 근데 진짜 한국인들 외국인들한테 맛있는거 먹이는거 다 똑같나봐요 ㅋㅋ 삼겹살이랑 호떡ㅋㅋㅋ

GDAY FROM AUSTRALIA AND FROM PHILL🌏😄

No other Utuber travel vlogs come close to yours. You guys are top.

서문시장 다녀오셨네요 재래시상엔 맛난거 많지요 암

😊😍👍

Superb.

and i thought koreans are rude , so much fake and misinformations i found in forums i guess after i watch your video i kinda like koreans and ofc their culture i respect it all, thanks for this video sir!

대구는 관광할 곳을 많이 가진 도시는 아니지만, 한국인의 평범한 일상을 체험하기에는 좋은 곳이라 생각해요. 자영업이 발달한 도시라서 그래요. 한국인들 사이에서는 대구에서 살아남은 음식점은 전국체인점(프랜차이즈)가 된다고들 말할 정도이죠. 음식 뿐 아니라, 미용이나 기타 등등 모두 저렴하답니다.

Koreans are amazing one of the frendliest people

❤❤❤❤❤

👍👋🏻

You know it’s Korean cooking when the scissors come out ! 😁

unfortunately.. Daegu is hottest city in s.Korea😂 because the mountain surround the city. so we call “Daefrica”

호텔 싸장님 이뻐!

Love from Dalyan Turkiye 🇹🇷🇹🇷🥰🥰

korean bbq served at the table like mongolian bbq..

I hope you can reach out to my favourite Korea Vloggers - 2hearts1seoul (a Canadian/Korean couple who live there) as I think you will all get along and have a fun time.

Japan used to be like this 30 years ago. Wales too maybe around 40 years ago. In many places, it still is, but is as a Japanese person wrote under the last video, Japan has forgotten much. Much like my home country of Wales and the UK in general perhaps. I hope South Korea does not let the modern lifestyle interfere too much with what is obviously still good in South Korea. Certainly, we have improved in many ways in accepting what was once discriminated against, but as we work to eradicate what was bad, we also have to be careful to put as much energy into keeping what is good. (I have lived in Japan for the past 32 years and am originally from Wales - hence the nostalgic comparison with these two places).

예의있는 외국인들에겐 항상 친절하게 대하지요 근데 솔직히 한국에 오며 자국에 대한 우월감과 대접받아야 한다는 건방진 생각을 갖고오는 외국인을 보면 꺼지라고 하고 싶어요 생각외로 꽤 많아요. 무례하고 배려없고 욕은 영어 러시아어 불어 스페인어 알아듣는데 지들이 잘못하거나 이해를 못해놓고 소리를 지르며 자국어로 욕을할땐 저것들이 한국을 얼마나 무시하길래 저딴짓를 함부로 하는지 이해가 안갑니다.... 그런사람들은 제발 오지마세요.

Pity you do not have the Philippines in your itinerary.

Be good if you could come to Australia .

Busan, film "train to Busan"

인복이 있으시네

케바케 사바사 일뿐이죠 뭐

양고기집에서 소 돼지 파네 ㅋㅋ

두분이 외국인이라 친절한진 모르나 같은 국민에게도 친절했으면 합니다

오래 살아보고 말하지 겨우 48시간 살아보고 평가를 ㅠㅠ

서문시장이다~

정말 한국 여행 재밌게 시청 했어요 굿
