Oh no! I didn't think the person who bumped me was being rude at all! I felt bad because I was standing in the way in the sidewalk and felt bad I had blocked their path. 🙈
The oil applied on the surface of mini gimbap is sesame oil. It adds a savory taste to the food. It's good for the healthy, too :) Sesame oil is often used in Korean side dishes. And I really enjoyed watching it.♡ (Please understand if there is a wrong expression due to lack of my English skills.)
Oh cool! Thank you for letting us know what that was. ☺️ it was delicious! Also, your English is very good. Thank you for commenting and apologies for not knowing korean. ❤️
I really enjoyed the video. It's the best. :) In general, the yellow hanbok, which is even hard for Koreans to digest, looks so elegant on you, your figure is very beautiful. To explain more about kimchi, the taste varies depending on the fermentation period. On the type of kimchi, there are likes and dislikes at the time of eating it. For example, I personally like cabbage kimchi 3 to 5 days after making it. If it's more than a month old, it's good to get it into ramen or to make kimchi stew because the sour taste gets stronger. Kimchi refrigerators have a better function of fermenting kimchi and are specially designed to maintain freshness even after a long period of kimchi storage. In other words, it prevents the taste from changing as much as possible and you can always eat it fresh. There's almost one in every house. Two different refrigerators are essential in Korea. It would have been nice to go into an apartment once, especially the Ondol floor is different from the United States. There is a hot water pipe under the floor, so the floor is warm in winter without having to lay a carpet Among the things I just remembered, this structure is unique to Korea along with kimchi refrigerators. 영상 너무 잘 봤습니다. 최고입니다. :) 일반적으로 한국 사람들도 소화하기 힘든 노란색 한복이 너무 잘 어울려요, 자태가 매우 아름답습니다. 김치에 더 설명해 드리면, 발효기간에 따라 맛이 달라집니다. 김치 종류에 따라 먹는 시점에 호불호가 있는데, 보통 배추 김치는 개인적으로 담근 시점부터 3~5일 정도 지난걸 좋아합니다. 한 달 이상 오래 된 것은 신맛이 강해져서 라면이나 김치찌게를 해 먹으면 좋구요. 김치 냉장고는 김치의 발효를 더 잘 해주는 기능을 갖고 있고 김치 보관 기간이 오래 지나도 신선도를 유지해주는 온도가 일반 냉장고와 다른 특별히 설계된 것입니다. 즉 맛의 변화를 최대한 막아주고 언제나 신선하게 먹을 수 있는거죠. 거의 집집마다 한 대씩 있습니다. 한국에선 냉장고가 2개가 필수인 셈이죠. 아파트에 한 번 들어가 봤으면 좋았을텐데, 특히 온돌 마루가 미국과 다른데 마루 아래 뜨거운 물이 흐르는 관이 있어 까페트를 깔 필요 없이 겨울에 바닥이 따뜻합니다. 지금 방금 생각난 것 중에 이 구조도 김치냉장고와 함께 한국만의 특이한 점입니다.
Great to see people from other countries enjoy our culture. Onething I want to let you know is that Korean older generation has their own standard in public etiquette. Due to Korea's rapid growth, younger and older generations are two different races. The old man who shouldered Sara probably didn't even mean to be rude. Please don't take it personal. ^^
Oh no! Not at all! I didn't find it rude it at all. I felt uncomfortable because I was blocking his path while talking to the camera and I felt rude. ☺️
마지막 장면 음식은 "마약김밥(Mayak gimbap)" 또는 "꼬마김밥(Kkoma gimbap)"이라고 불리는데 주로 노점상이나 재래시장에서 팝니다. 그렇다고 마약 김밥이 더 전통적인 것을 의미하는 것은 아닙니다. 더 굵고 한입크기로 커팅되어 있는 일반 김밥이 더 일반적입니다.
The seaweed wraped rice you had at Mangwon Market is called Kimbap but in a very small size. Normally Kimbap is much thicker and longer, so a line of kimbap is enough for a meal. There are hundreds of kinds kimbap depending on the ingredients.
ENG🇺🇸 : I'm Korean who live in Italy now. when I missed my country, I met your video that contain my country. this video makes me happy😄. Thank you so much your video! ITA🇮🇹: Sono coreano che abita in Italia. quando mi sono mancato il mio paese, ho incontrato il tuo video che parla del mio paese. Sono molto contento di vedere il mio paese attraverso il tuo video😄! Allora Grazie mille!! KOR 🇰🇷 : 이탈리아에 살고 있는 한국인입니다. 한국이 그리웠던 참에 한국을 담은 이 영상을 보게 되었습니다😄. 이 영상을 통해 한국을 다시 만끽하게 해주심에 감사드립니다.
Hi Chris and Sara. I am Kane and living in Australia for couple of years so far. I am originally from South Korea and it's so much fun with your Korean videos. If you need someone who can help your translation for subtitles in Korean, I would love to help you or things like that. Hope you guys have a good day! 😊
Hi Kana! You're so kind! We're using Rev to do our captions right now, but we've thought about using someone else because they've been slower and slower getting them back to us lately. If they're slow again on this next video we might be reaching out to you so thank you! :)
@@chrisandsara I didn't recognize that you've commented my reply long time ago. Sorry about that. Thanks for your kind words. How's your trip been going? Did you have fun in Korea? Hope you did.
The reason why wearing hanbok allowed free entrance to the palace was to encourage more Korean people to wear hanbok. This policy is successful, so Koreans are wearing hanbok more often. Hanbok has a history of thousands of years, but the components of early and modern hanbok are the same. This means that hanbok is really important to Koreans historically, culturally, and traditionally.
“The Allbirds are a nice touch!” 😂 The palace and the ceremony looked beautiful! I feel like you guys captured the culture beautifully! I love how unique the architecture is there too.
It's very impress that you learned so much about Korea, history, people, culture and you are experiencing real Korea yourselves. Korea is one unique country everyone should go and see once in life time.
Sara looks gorgeous in that hanbok. Chris also looks cool in that. Hanbok looks so comfy and its colorful, very pretty color. Its amazing seeing the contrast and combination of the past and present in Korea. The passion and dedication towards kimchi is awesome. Thanks, as always the video is smooth 😎👌☺️👍
Highly recommend checking out as many Buddhist temples as you can in each different cities. They are beautiful! If you will be staying in Seoul longer, check out Bongeusa Temple in Gangnam.
잘 봤습니다! You chose some great spots for the episode! Bukchon Hanok Village is a must-see, and (in my opinion) Mangwon Market is one of the best markets in Seoul, with amazing quality and a cozy, homey vibe. You have made me hungry 🤣
You guys look so beautiful in those Hanboks! Thanks for loving and enjoying our culture! Looking forward to watching more of your Korean adventure videos!
Although it is not possible to fully understand South Korea in a short period of time, I applaud your sincere and challenging spirit to understand the 'Real' culture. Your channel is the most honest and Real
The seaweed thingy is called kimbap and you usually eat it with tteokbokki, ramen or other bunsik! Also Please have a instant ramen with those leftover kimchi. I recommend exploring the convenience store, for buying ramen and I promise you are gonna love it. You might say that you are now lacking of kimchi and feeling like to buy some more, at the end. 😆
We have eaten a lot of convenience store ramen and have definitely added kimchi to it. So tasty, quick, and cheap! Wish we had those options back home. I will say some of those ramens are spicier than my American tastebuds can handle yet. 🥵
Sesame oil on top of kimbap is a healthy oil that you eat without heating like olive oil. It has a lot of unsaturated fatty acids and is not easily oxidized compared to olive oil, so it can be stored at room temperature for a long time and has a strong sesame scent, so it is used a lot in Korean food
My wife and I went to Korea together for the first time to meet our extended families before we got married. We both grew up outside of Korea so on the outside we looked Korean but in the inside we were like tourists. We did the traditional clothes and went to the palace and we didn't really see many Koreans wear them, mostly tourists. I don't know if we looked more authentic but people were asking us to take photos with them and we felt like kdrama celebrities. Was a great experience
Interesting to watch even as Korean!! I tried hanbok rental few weeks ago as well ! The reason you got gimbap from the market made me smile ! Thank you for the amazing video
One of Seoul's jewels is Mt. Bukhan. It's very rare to have such a great mountain in a big city. It's easy to get to in about 40 minutes from the city center, but it's good to have a cup of tea at Seonungak Cafe and enjoy the view of the top of the mountain. For a city view of Seoul, it would be good to climb the middle of Mt. Inwang.
I've been to Korea recently, but didn't go to any palaces ..been to Gyungbok, Changgyung places when I used to live years ago so didn't need to go again. I wanted to visit byukchon village which was in my visiting list but somehow never went there however I was born and grew up in Korea( more specifically in Seoul) so have pretty good idea how village would look like..kimchi is heart & soul of Koreans. Yeah, Korea is one of top healthiest countries and it shows, not many people are overweight or even huge( side wise). I've been living in the states and so many obese people around the area..( in anywhere, anytime I'd go outside) I'm sure you guys had so much fun, and unforgettable time in Seoul.
The seaweed rolls called Kimbop, means rice wrapped in seaweeds, which is one of the most beloved snacks for when picnicking, traveling, partying, or school lunch foods in Korea. It's super heslthy and delicious. The grease coating on the seaweeds is sesame oil to prevent from drying and give a delicious sesame smell and taste.
Excellent job you guys. love it !!! ..... Where's Kramer though..... You know its illegal here in Korea not showing your dog baby !! travelling with you on your video clip... Even you are a extremly adorable couple !!!!
The hanbok suits you so well. And you captured the scenery of Gyeongbokgung Palace so beautifully in the video. Bukchon Hanok Village and making kimchi were also impressive. I'm going to watch the video that introduced Korea with an interesting look. 👍👍👍
Yes Chris, she looks FANTASTIC!! So Sara's cooking repertoire now includes kimchi. Love the architecture of the palace. Always so colorful and intricate. Thank you for the outing, hoping to see more. Until next time... Travel safe.
