Busan is the no.1 tourist city for Koreans as it is a very unique city in South Korea. it has all the dynasties, decades and regions of Korea. You can enjoy all historical places from all different dynasties in Korea, foods from all parts of Korea, architecture from different decades in modern Korea as well as so many mountains, 6 different beaches, a river and 2natural hot springs, all inside of the city. As it is located in the ancient Korean capital, Kyungju, it has all those historical places from the Shilla dynasty, the first unified dynasty in Korea, while Seoul has ones starting from the Chosun dynasty, the last dynasty in Korea. As it was the city not occupied by the North Korean military during the Korean war, the refugees from all parts of Korea had lived in Busan and that made fusion of Korean food from all parts of Korea and also different areas with different architectures. Some areas are still looking like the 1950's Korean war time while some areas look very futuristic. In addition, traditionally, Busan was a trade port for Korea and Japan and also a stop-over port from China to Japan. So, it has a Chinatown from old times and fusion with Korean, Japanese and Chinese food.

Always fun and informative! Loved learning about other countries and cultures! Thanks guys! Congratulations to your cousin becoming a parent!!

Welcome back to Busan, Korea! Thank you for wonderful clip. Take care.❤

I was in Busan last summer. I loved staying in South Korea! Friendly and helpful people, everything was great, I liked the heavy raining as well. The rain is warm compared to when it's raining in Sweden.

Hi, guys. I'm amazed that you guys are enjoying Bibimguksu, w♡w. I hope you guys had a wonderful time in Korea. Btw, the pebble stones are for the acupressure(bare feet) if you happen to wonder what are those actually for. And it might be mugwort, green tea or kelp kind of vegetable is added in the noodle. Please, come back as often as you guys can, ok👌😀 Always welcome 🌸🌸🍀🍀

No trip to Spaland? Love Busan. Different vibe than Seoul and very relaxed

한국에 오신걸 환영합니다~👏👏👏👏한국에서 행복한 추억 많이 만들어 가시길 바래요~~^^♥

What a fun vlog! I'm sorry to hear that you're still feeling the burnout from all of the intense travelling that you've done, though. I'm hoping that with some rest, all of these trips won't feel like work anymore. Continue travelling safe and I can't wait to see you the next vlog!

HEEYY what a nice surprise!!! :) I am looking forward to folllow your routes in Korea.

This was a great travelogue of Busan which is a major port city in S. Korea. It appears you both got your "steps" in.

Seven years of my life here in Busan! It’s an epic city and I’m glad you guys got here.

I was born in Busan 63yrs ago. I lived in SoCal USA most of my life! Planning on visiting soon 🙏🥰 great vid!

Busan is my sweet hometown. But I have not been able to go there for the last 5 years due to the pandemic situation… 😢 I am so glad to see the current looks of the city. Thank you for sharing your experience and showing the places where I miss so much.

I'm organising the family trip to Korea next year and was tossing if we want to do Busan... i guess now its a yes.

I can't get enough of plant-based food around the world!

So pleasant to discover through your eyes!

Fantastic vlog. I picked it was Haeundae immediately (b4 seeing the train & sky capsule, of which I also did just the train as the capsules were booked out) as I was there a few weeks ago. You are right that Busan is quite large & spread out, and each area is totally different e.g. The downtown & Chinatown area vs Haeundae. There are soooooo many different things to do & places to visit in Busan. Definitely do Busan in good weather. You will love it. P.S. You VPN'd to Alice Springs in Australia, a small town in the middle of nowhere :p

Thanks, guys. Plenty of intriguing tidbits about South Korea.

I always look at people and smile at them as i go past, its proven that seeing someone smiling at you heightens you mood and feeling so i just try to put a bit of happiness back into the world. Plus forcing a smile no matter your mood will always make you slightly happier

와..부산 한 번도 못 가봤는데 와 서울보다 훨씬 예쁘네. 대한민국에도 아름다운 도시가 있구나. 진짜 다른나라같다...

Amazing !!! Thank you.

You guys should go Marine city which is located in Busan. It is an amazing area too. You will see tons of skyscrapers. Once you go there you may be excited.

Hi guys. Good to see you. It might be much more helpful to use the Naver map in Korea. Have a good trip.

Thanks for the trip intro you guys are wonderful

Busan is dynamic and beautiful city. I'm really enjoying your video. Thank you for your footage.😍😍😍

First! Great videos guys! So nice to see plant based travelers!

Just finished watching 'Peninsula' (Last train to Busan sequel) and this came up!

What a nice video! I love the city so much!! Which made me visit there again last week for the 3rd time this year. There was a Film Festival aka BIFF and the atmosphere was amazing. And I'm sorry to hear what you had to go through with the plastic cups.. Korea has a strong policy on using them. So if you want to stay in the place, get your drink in a mug or a glass and when you leave the place, you can simply ask them to pour your leftover drink to a plastic cup to go! I really enjoyed your video! Have a good weekend!

Wow COOL VLOG! Tasty bibim-guksu! Nice beaches in Busan. Cute tram. Jazzy musak.Gorgeous temples! Be careful on the “Stairs to See Stars”! It’s good you quit full-time travel so you can enjoy it more !

Fantastic vlog as always guys. Definitely try to get back to Jeju. I was there for a few days last November and loved it! Stunning scenery and all those delicious breeds of local tangerines. See you around the world.

Det var bra! Thanks for that, you guys. Only vid of many I've seen of Busan that starts with beach! Hope you found non-dairy milk somewhere. I had coffee and oat milk in Seoul...

Busan is the most distincive city in korea. People use Strong dialect, and are also crude but full of affection. Urbanism and old-fashionedness coexist. The place is always kind to travelers thanks to those who have strong pride in their hometown

It is very interesting video thx

You two are so adorable 🥰 watching you from Toronto,Canada ❤

My brother got stationed in Busan I was stationed in Osan at the same time we linked up and discovered Busan together it was incredible and it was amazing to spend time with him in the navy while I was in the Air Force. He loved Busan so much he went to the reserves while I left the military and from time to time he goes to Busan for reserve duty

Well, now I’ve got to Busan on the itinerary!! Greatly appreciate you showing us vegan food options, yum!! 🥢🥢🥢

Welcome to Korea🎉

As ever, really enjoyed your content. I’m wondering: do you guys own any property yet and if so where in the world? If not, where would you like to buy in the future? Thanks for your channel.

I live in Busan. Thanks for introduce beautiful busan.

I was born and lived in Busan, so I know it is hard to find true Vegan options for you. I am glad that you were able to find some vegan food and had overall good experience in Korea. Kinda unreal that your video is showing my childhood places

한국사람인 저도부산가본지 오래되었는데....화면을 보면서 또 가고싶어졌네요^^~ .........^^ 즐거운 하루 보내세요~ 그리고 부산에 대해 올려주셔서 감사합니다^0^*~~~~😀😃😄(from South Korea)

Thanks for another awesome video. Love that you keep it real ❤. I'm more like Dan...not looking at people... only if I need to interact with them 😊... not saying that I don't like them...perhaps I'm a bit shy or socially awkward 😅 ☺️

Oskar, Dan, thanks for taking the time to put out this video. Quick question for both of you, did you both needed to have a valid visa upon arrival in Busan from Fokuoka? Thanks.

That path with the big stones is for reflexology, where you walk barefoot for health benefits. Uhmmm, even a bit more painful that way.^^

Definitely my friends, give Jeju another try. I went recently in the Spring and it was utterly beautiful. I missed out Busan back then though, would love to visit one day!

Thanks for the tour 😀. Curious how many steps you totaled that day when you visited gamcheon village 🏃🚶

Those village stairs and similar are in so many Korean series😊

I'm a good mix of y'all 2...I look at people and surroundings and if I make eye contact, I smile. But that's totally American in Korea, you do not want to make eye contact. Lol

Looking very nice.

Hope you guys re-energize soon. use the super-charger ^^

I hope the food tasted better than it looked! That first dish looked like spaghetti in instant tomato soup

I agree that going to a place for a second time is usually more enjoyable than the first time 'round, since you don't ''need'' to tick off all those tourist spots and can just relax. Kind of like having a curry and keeping leftovers for the next day and realising it tastes so much better once all the spices have been absorbed by the food (weirdest comparison ever, but that's just what came to my mind 🤣). Talking of food, I'd say the flavour of the Netherlands is definitely cheese. I can't think of a sweet flavour that's generally popular here, but on the savoury front, it's definitely cheese all the way. 😆

lovely

Been to Busan in may. Just amazing 😊

Better is subjective. I lived in Korea for 2 years, one in Gangneung in Gangwan-do and another in Seoul. I only passed through Busan to and from Japan (took the hydrofoil ferry as well to Fukuoka). Your video makes me want to give it a visit. But definitely not better than Seoul but has different things to offer like the beach and that hillside village.

Cute couple 👍👍👍

👍

I really want to go here next time I go to Korea

Busan is my hometown. Haeundae us where I had my first date with my wife. Living in Vancouver, I still think Busan is much better place.

You can use google map in Korea but only the drive or public transport option. What I do is use the drive function, and use it to navigate the streets. I have come to realize this is the best option after trying to use the other crappy maps. The hybrid view on google maps helps to locate landmarks and building.

If i don't remember wrong I think there is a law that doesn't allow restaurants/coffee shops to use plastics inside so thats why they told you that, it's not the shop policy. Also 두부가 was great before but sadly the quality has decreased u.u

Dan...we are literally the same person when it comes to being in our bubble and looking at people/being looked at. 😅😅😅

I love Korea❤

I see a lot of me in Dan 😊❤️

Seems like every meal you had there was a 'bibim' meal. 😄

Beautiful city!!!

Thank you for liking Busan. It's Bibimnangmyun.

Does anyone know the name of the restaurant at the start with the bibimguksu? I’m travelling to Korea this summer and looking for vegan/vegetarian options! Thanks

Rest assured, no matter where you go in Korea, you will do a lot of walking!....lol ...Then again, what better way to experience the city than walking around? Korea has preserved a lot of their history very well.

Me as a Korean, I don’t like to be looked intentionally or look at other people on the street. Busan people tends to look at more than Seoul. One of the many reasons that it is less crowded and smaller population than Seoul. If it makes sense…

1:17 can y'all do a video about that? I want to know what foods are vegan as well, but I'm no chef 😅

2:20 speaking of HONG KONG, when are you coming to my HOME!!?

Busan was a small fishing village 130 years ago. The capital city of the ancient country is Gyeongju, not Busan. And it has nothing to do with the Japanese. Busan used to be a lower-class fishing village where Korean nobles did not live and fishermen and farmers lived.😊

I think the encouragement of using reusable cups for coffee shops is a good thing. You criticized the coffee shop for not offering alternatives to dairy. I agree that there should be alternatives, but I don't know the reason for that like feasability or regulations, etc... On the other hand could you have not brought re-usable mugs? Do they accept those?

When you guys get super famous please don’t forget about me

Good to know Dan. If we ever cross paths, promise not to scrutinize you. 😂

Hi, as a fellow vegan with no korean food experience at all. Could you list some vegan dishes that are vegan by default? I always wanted to try korean food, but all you hear about korean food is korean bbq :(?!

What time of year was this

Jungkook's hometown!! ♡♡♡

Guys are so hot in South Korea. I was so impressed 😮

Odd about Google Maps. Has worked for me.

Hahaha. As a Korean, we avoid staring strangers because we think it can be accepted as a aggresive or rude gesture.

loved this video! it was nice to see the wall mural of Jimin and Jungkook of BTS who both come from Busan, seems the locals must be proud of them

We went to Busan for a one day port call back in April 2016, and really enjoyed it, despite being there on the only rainy day of our 23 day trip through multiple Asian countries. The teeming rain didn't dampen our favorable impressions of Busan -- the colorful fish market (with only female fishmongers), lovely local people -- but it did thwart any attempts to go farther afield than the downtown area.

Busan looks amazing

I would stare back at them and usually they'd quickly turn run and hide from me, sometimes it would be like a game of chicken....'who will look away first?!' lol At first it was uncomfortable but i got used to it after a couple years. So sad i never made a channel before leaving Korea. I recommend you guys visit Mokpo, Yeosu, Tongyeong and Gangneung as well next time you visit (not sure if you guys have gone before). Haedong Yonggungsa is probably my favorite/2nd favorite temple in Korea. From Tongyeong you can take a ferry to an island where Yi Sun Shin (famous Korean admiral) lived and there is an epic anime style temple there. Enjoy Korea! :)

So nice to see vegans in Korea. I’m vegetarian and am planning to go probably next year. It concerned me that I wouldn’t be able to find places that has vegetarian or vegan food!❤

Gong Cha is from Taiwan

Hey Dan & Oskar, what a refreshing change to see you two traveling around Busan from your usual flight vlog. I realised you both are vegans hence some limited food options on flight and land. I feel you guys on the flight of steps. Its hard work!!

Busan South Korean Battle a long time ago.

Love this. I’m the weird person who gives you a great big smile if you stare at me. Loads of Swedes were caught off guard. In general The Fins just smiled back. Norwegians just avoided eye contact altogether and the Danish looked like they wanted the earth to swallow them if eye contact was made 😅

Welckme to Korea ! I love too Busan.❤❤❤

No fish market ?

Ni hao korea~~~

It really does look like Rio

Hey, Boys. Oskar and Dan, Hi and, Annyeonghaseyo, I'm goanna sing to replace Hakuna Matata into this Version of South Korean, which is, 'Geogjeong Ma.'

와우 ! 해운대 ~ 밀면 ~ 부추전 해운대의 재래시장 ~ 멋져요 ~ 바다의 파도소리도 ~ 💞

I am like you,Dan. I look away from people when I walk by them as well. It feels awkward to look/stare at strangers.
