The taxi drivers were saying they couldn’t take you there because they aren’t allowed to enter the fireworks area because the roads going there had been closed to taxis.

At the Fireworks Festival, you cannot get near the Fireworks Festival because the police are controlling the vehicles. said the taxi driver. It's not about denying boarding. Please don't misunderstand.

[@JanandAnn]

Thanks for this! :)!

[@ginetteg]

Waffles, almost like the Beaver Tail concept… Toronto use to have during the summer fireworks festival for a month. Different countries every weekend would display their fireworks show accompanied by music. Great idea to leave early. That’s crazy busy.

[@godot5226]

So in Korea, the way to get on a taxi has changed. You can use taxi apps or near the bus stop, there are places where taxis stop. If you try to stop cab, they don't stop because it increases traffic on the road. Also, the taxi driver said, driving to the fireworks place is restricted. I'm happy to see that you guys enjoyed the fireworks festival!

[@JanandAnn]

Thankyou for this ❤️

[@Hicks-g1m]

Way too many people for me to be around Jan and Ann it makes me feel claustrophobic and paranoid just by watching it I would just stay at a hotel at the top to see fireworks like that food looks good I'm going to eat to 😋😋🆒🆒👍👍😎😎

Awe! I was in a good spot during that time. And was a lil bit worried after the show. Crossing the Han river was also a struggle until the Mapo station.

[@JanandAnn]

Lucky you! We should of went earlier for a better spot but we didn’t expect that many ppl would show up 😅

[@LisaLaurenVlog]

Metro system in Seoul is efficient and goes everywhere. Next time take the metro to go to your destination. It's cheaper and super easy. I am so glad there was no stampede when you guys were there. Stay safe always. Love your videos and I always look forward watching it. 🙂

[@monching6919]

I agree. Seoul Metro system is efficient and easy and is on par with railway system in japan. You can go everywhere and much cheaper.

[@JanandAnn]

Hii! Yes we did use the MRT alot more after this video. Definitely really easy to use and quite cheap :)

[@achacs1]

If it is efficient, why it's crowded?

[@JanandAnn]

@@achacs1 to be fair it was only crowded this day cus of the festival. Any other day it was always empty and spacious.

[@monching6919]

@@achacs1 With more than 8 million passengers a day, Seoul has one of the busiest subway systems in the world. With 23 lines and 640 Station. Despite this, it is highly regarded for its efficiency, its ease of navigation, its timeliness. If you compare that to Manila we only have 3 major metro lines with 15 million people residing. We are so left behind 😔

[@jadepatagnan1872]

Quality vid 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️🇵🇭

[@JanandAnn]

Thank you Jade :)!

[@harjotsohal1774]

No need to worry about stampede usually. Previous incident was unusual. The ally was so narrow and a little steep. The surrounding was so noisy with loud music and drunken atmosphere. But being careful anywhere is very important everytime. Better safe than sorry. Anyway hope everyone who visits Korea has a good time and makes good memories.

[@BegaW]

I went to see the fire works years ago and though it's cold for me to stand through out the fire works but still it's very enjoyable. I wonder how was the temperature for you guys. I hope you guys enjoyed it and also of the much chillier climate. Take care and thanks for sharing.

[@JanandAnn]

The weather was pretty good at that time fortunately! ☺️ thanks for watching!

[@inbetweenworlds]

Stunning B rolls, Jan & Ann! You vids keep getting better. 🥰 Surprised though that you guys didn't consider the train going to the park as it is efficient and easy to learn. 😳.... and that you guys had to squeeze in some grub before the fireworks (why am I not surprised? Lol. Vestiges of Singapore! Haha). With 1.2M expected foot traffic, the best way is to always beat the crowd or go to a spot that you can get the best view and fastest way to exit. That occasion could have taken a dark turn. Glad you guys are ok!

[@JanandAnn]

Thanks always G! ☺️. After this we actually took the MRT alot more. Taxis is really affordable in Seoul so we didnt mind taking them as well. And thanks, glad everyone was okay that night! Definitely could’ve been worse!

[@atkim122]

Guys I was feeling sympathy frustration each time you mentioned your taxi Ls which seemed to happen a lot in this country, but as I'm sure someone may have told you by now: 1) many Koreans use Kakaotaxi app similar to uber. A nearby taxi from your pinned location will accept the fare and pick you up. 2) There are designated taxi stands in many places where you can only hop in at those places, not at any random street curb (like NYC). I had a taxi driver gesture to me to cross the street and wait for him there even though I was standing just two feet from his rear door. But it would've been illegal for him to let me in from there so I crossed the street, waited for him to make a U turn, and got in the car. 3) Xenophobia. Maybe at least once you could've encountered a driver who didn't want to pick up non-Koreans, but the xenophobia happens in pockets and is not systematic. It doesn't explain why you so often had drivers pass you by. My best guess is you weren't standing at designated pick up spots.

[@JanandAnn]

Thanks for this :)

Once I was in a New Year celebrations crowd of 50K it freaked me out when the crowd started to push and shove like a human wave. Luckily a stamped was avoided. There seem to be no crowd control in this even, maybe its too big to even control. So scary. Enjoying this new travel series

You've been riding taxis everywhere? You're gonna go broke like that. I literally figured out the subway the first time.

[@johnmurata7275]

Are you guys going to Bali next?

[@JanandAnn]

We plan to go next year :) we’ll be in Japan next!

[@johnmurata7275]

Cool…I been there too many times already. I would recommend that you guys go to Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. There not much to see in Tokyo but a good experience to have. I think you will like Kyoto for more layback and historical places and Castle. Osaka would be more fun for you guys I would also recommend the guy in Osaka that sells sushi on the parking lot. But you guys can watch it in Netflix asian food.

[@WorldReserveCurrency]

12:35 not sure if this is a regular occurrence but would be better to whisper in situations like this as other passengers will get seriously annoyed with talking in the subway. Looks like the guy with the baseball cap on the right starting to get a lil peeved. And I highly recommend Google Translate or Papago for translating with your camera. And also using it for verbal communication (speaking into the phone and playing it back in Korean to them), as it shows that you're making an effort and people are mode than happy to oblige. Glad you had fun.

[@JanandAnn]

Hey there, thanks so much for watching! We appreciate your comments :) Just to clarify a few things: We always use our low voices when on the subway, it just sounds like we aren't because we have a mic attached to our camera! In fact, we actually had to edit and turn up the audio on that part because our voices were TOO low. And don't worry we weren't disturbing those around us! The guy in the baseball cap was actually wearing earphones so it was impossible for him to hear us. And finally, we had a translator app with us at all times where we play it in Korean for them. It was just never shown in our vlogs! Thanks again for your support! ☺️

Can't believe that you only took cab but didn't try to take subway in Seoul, which is a lot faster, cheaper and more efficient than cab. Same as most Asian places like Hong Kong and Tokyo, subway system is way better than that in any cities in Canada.
