Looks awesome!
Gabe, yesterday @MyPersonalPronounIsAgnostic did not ask about your breakfast, but instead they made the comment that SK has little crime due to adsence of people of colour. I don't think there should be a forum for such people on your channel. She's been reported to YT and should booted off of your channel IMO.
Danyang is a small town placed in the countryside. need to care about the public transportation schedule cause it is not often.
That view is incredible

You’re not too far from Andong, which has the excellent Hahoe folk village as well as an excellent Buddha statue at Incheondong Seokbulsang, and a beautiful off-the-beaten-path temple, and two hot springs nearby (Hakgasan and Yecheon).
Lol most boring church ever
Beautiful. The few Koreans I knew came from SK with their families in the 70s as young kids, to US for a better life. I wonder if now with the kids kids grown, they would want to go back. Cleaner, more organized, saner looking than Oakland where many of them ended up. I am trying hard to believe the crazy ness will get better, but not so sure. I suppose it depends on precisely where one is at, but the cost of living is insane in my town now.
Love the jazzy tunes at the end…❤
You’re seeing evidence of South Korea’s demographic collapse and the exodus of young people to the major cities.
Over 30% of South Koreans profess to be Christian. Years ago, I remember hearing the largest Christian church in the world was in South Korea. Not sure if that is still true.
