  Hi there! I apologize for taking so much time off, if you follow my other socials I had numerous issues last year. Besides burn out, this video was filmed last year and was supposed to be my last video of 2023 but I had issues with the sponsor on it at the time. Anyway, if you follow my instagram (@josieliftsthings) travel and filming for this year is well underway and videos here and on my second channel are starting again 😊 Good to be back!<br>Follow my second channel here: <a href="https://youtube.com/@josievlogsthings">https://youtube.com/@josievlogsthings</a><br>LET’S EXPLORE SOUTH KOREA!! 😊😊

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L-2ms2N-pc&amp;t=135">2:15</a> The reason Isaac Toast is famous is because it helps people who have failed financially once in their lives get back on their feet. The brand only grants store ownership permits to people who are in financial difficulty. I don&apos;t think that brand of toast is very tasty. However, it is a brand that deserves praise for its social contribution.

  As a Korean, I wouldn&apos;t particularly recommend Myeongdong to foreigners. While it is undoubtedly the most famous area, I believe there are better places to spend your time that are more authentic, more representative of Seoul, and more traditional. Myeongdong, simply put, is more typical than traditional. It is a place where overpriced souvenirs that appear &quot;Korean&quot; but lack genuine roots are sold, and it is also very crowded. When foreigners visit Korea, I think the unique vibe of Korea is a significant factor (since we lack vast natural landscapes). Therefore, if one wants to experience Korea&apos;s indie culture, I would suggest Hongdae. For traditional culture, Gyeongju is ideal, where one can feel the coexistence of life and death through the numerous tombs scattered around daily streets and villages, as well as the Daereungwon Tomb Complex. Jeonju Hanok Village is another excellent choice for traditional experiences. Insadong in Seoul has traditional aspects, but its current appearance is far from traditional and is overly commercialized in a negative way, offering little value. For a lively seaside city experience, Busan is great, and while Jeju Island has everything, its downside is the extreme expense.

  I used to tell my friends in college, Winter in Korea is like winter in Buffalo NY and Summer is like those in Houston TX.

  I enjoyed your vid. It was helpful to see you show some things you need to know/use while traveling/Sightseeing in Seoul. It seemed like people there were nice and helpful despite maybe a bit of a language barrier

  For maps you need to use either Naver or KakaoMaps in Korea. They are both (somewhat) in English.

  Hello. I&apos;m Korean. If you&apos;re going to travel to Korea, never go to Gwangjang Market or Myeongdong. They sell trash food at a high price. I&apos;m really sorry if you&apos;ve already visited.
