인도로 오토바이 질주하는 인간들 벌금이 아니라 그냥 라이선스 압수해야함
The different colors of leaves against the ponds are breathtaking!
Looks like driving and parking on sidewalks is allowed there?
Brings back nice memories from my visit in 2009. Amazing place. Wow, so crowded. It was almost empty at my visit.

The reason why the cost of public transportation in Japan is high is that it is operated by a private company (such as JR and there is even no transfer system), and the reason why the cost of public transportation in Korea is low is that the government has the right to set prices, so it cannot be raised carelessly. and even income levels are 30 percent higher in Korea than in Japan
Love and Light as always bro ❤
Compared to the provinces, accommodation prices in Seoul are significantly more expensive. Weekends can be even worse.
As is the case in all countries, accommodation prices go down on weekends and in areas far from the city center.
If you're unlucky, you might find a place that's more expensive than it should be for the conditions. This is especially true if you book on Friday or Saturday.
A tonkatsu specialty restaurant would also be a good place to eat.
You should be a spokesperson for Pocari Sweat
지금 한국에서 제일 인기있는곳이 경주입니다 얼마전에 APEC 2025가 열렸기때문에 더욱더 인기가 있습니다
Pasta Carbonara. So much young people on the streets .
You missed Trump by a few days 😂 There was a big diplomatic event called APEC in Gyeongju a few days ago. You should check out the golden crown 👑 bestowed upon him. Actually, that was a replica and the real one is displayed in the Gyeongju museum.
hmhm… wondering what the cost of renting a car in South Korea this time of the year.. keep making cool videos.
Oh wow! The first decent vlog from Korea. Dude you need to take 3 months off from YouTube and find your mojo.
Gabe – 48 minutes on the 30 minutes video length scale – near miss, LOL.

Hi Gabriel.
Saturday 8/11 here in Greece was a big religious holiday and one of the names being celebrated was yours. So happy birthday from Greece for your name day.
I don't know if you went to these two villages that I will describe below when you were in Seoul in 2018, but they are worth visiting, even if they are touristy.
1. Bukchon Hanok Village, it is located in the heart of Seoul, offering a glimpse into traditional architecture. It is a historical village with hundreds of hanok houses in narrow, picturesque alleys.
2. Korean Folk Village. It is a theme park that represents life in Korea during the Joseon Dynasty, about 40 km south of Seoul.
I hope you stay in South Korea longer!!!
