Yes, Korea was a pleasant trip for me. The people and foods was amazing. Hongdae is like buskers paradise. The kids perform all kinds of things. We saw a singer and a couple of groups dancing. Full of energy at night We dined at a small, side street, family run bbq restaurant and had a really good meal. I definitely want to go back again!
Your English is nice , your voice is so smooth. I like the vdo very clear and make me feel like i am traveling with you. I will be retired in 10+ more years and i want to be able to travel snd working on you tube like you 😊👍🏻❤️.
Hi, like the video, very well put together! I've been looking at possibly going to Seoul for a solo trip, do you think it's easy enough for someone who is used to going to europe and doesn't speak much korean?
I was a little apprehensive too, but I thought it was fairly easy. Definitely spend some time to figure out the public transportation and download Google Translator, if you haven't already. Other than that, I think you will be fine. It seemed many people spoke English, so I really didn't have a problem. If I did run into a communication issue, they often pulled out Google Translator before me! Very friendly people. Good luck and happy travels!
@@seniorsolotravel Great, thanks for the reply! I have practiced using the papago which seems to be a good translator so that's a start! I've heard from some people eating out solo can be hard in South Korea, did you have that issue or does it seem to be easy enough to do?
My first day in Seoul worried me, because I wandered and didn't find anything to eat that seemed simple, easy and palatable. However, once I discovered that most of the coffee shops (and there are a plethora of them) serve good salads and sandwiches, I was able to find good quick food. Just so you know, I'm not one that likes to sit down to fancy meals when I travel. I just want to grab something, find a nice bench and enjoy the views and people watching while I eat. And yes, I've heard Papago works well too. Enjoy!
Oh my god !! Your video was absolutely the best video of Korean tourism I've ever seen on this platform. Your words were so eloquent and educational my vocabulary level vastly increased. I've been traveling to Korea (since I'm half Korean) and have watch hundreds of these video and by far yours was the most enjoyable. Let me guess, you're a high school English teacher. Oh and yes, you did a great job butchering all the Korean words but you made up for it with you great English. One advice I would give to you and all other travelers in Korea is stay off the buses and use the subway/trains. 😂🥰🤩👏👏👏
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I was worried the diary format might make it too long-winded, so I appreciate the positive feedback. I loved Korea, so it was a labor of love to create the video! Happy travels!
