I think he is very satisfied with the city, he said that the city is beautifully constructed and, which is unusual for Korean cities, full of greenery. he said that he does not expect a tourist offer because the city is new. But the city is beautifully arranged and full of greenery and still surrounded by greenery definitely has a future as a super modern city to live in.

13:40 Sorry you couldn't find the entrance but the sign on the 1st floor just before you took the elevator that only went up to the 3rd floor, showed a map of where you were, and where the hotel entrance was. It was showing you how to get to the hotel entrance. It is not a touristy city so you shouldn't expect English signs. Next time recommend using google photo translator to see Korean signs in English. Really enjoy watching your videos and I hope you have a wonderful time in Korea😊

13:29 15:25 To the left of the elevator button, there is a Korean sign indicating that the restaurant is only open up to the 3rd floor. The entrance and elevator appear to have been used only on the restaurant floor. Because Sejong City is the administrative capital, not many foreign tourists visit, so it may not be fun for tourists. Still, it's a well-planned, clean, and quiet city, so I hope you'll have a new adventure.

[@한대희-j8k]

Guten tag. Herr ken. The first elevator you saw had a sign indicating a private entrance to the hotel, but it was in Korean so you couldn't recognize it. There were directions everywhere, but they were all in Korean so I guess you didn't recognize them. In my opinion it is clearly a lack of consideration from the hotel. In Korea, since the 2000s, mixed residential and commercial buildings in one building have become popular. In these complex buildings, the separation of residential and commercial areas was considered very important, and architectural elements such as separate entrances and restricted movement between each other were added. It is very likely that this is the reason why you cannot go upwards from the commercial area on the 3rd floor. 9:00 / The bus card you purchased cost 4,000 won. Perhaps you paid 10,000 won at a convenience store, and the clerk was charged 6,000 won put in you card. After then you paid 2,000 won for bus. Also, please check if there is a purple mark called [T-money] on the card. If it has the mark, the card can be used on public transportation nationwide. You can charge mileage to the card at a convenience store and use it. In most taxis equipped with a payment module (even machines like the subway vending machine that refused you on the first day), you can pay by tagging your card. I really enjoy your travel videos. If you are staying in Korea for an extended period of time and exploring the normal areas of life rather than big cities or tourist destinations, communication will often be an issue. If you have time, I recommend learning [Hangul]. Even if you don't know the meaning of a word, just a few hours are enough to simply memorize and learn the alphabet. These days, Korean often uses pronunciation of foreign languages directliy. If you could read the word [호텔(hotel)], you would have been able to find the hotel lobby more easily. I will continue to follow your journey. ^^b

Btw, you should try the motels/love hotels if you wanna save money. They are everywhere and less than half of what u are paying. Still clean and well equipped.

[@goofy_charles]

It is so interesting that tourists went to Sejong City. Foreigners who go to Sejong City will mostly be people to perform official duties related to the Korean government. Therefore, most of the hotels in Sejong City are only used by Koreans. If a foreigner uses it, a Korean will guide. Where you first wandered around was instructed on how to find the entrance to the hotel in Korean. And Sejong is the name of a Joseon Dynasty king drawn on your 10,000 won bill. It is called King Sejong. He is a favorite king of Koreans who made Hangul and achieved various scientific innovations. One more thing: Koreans do not travel to Sejong City either. You really seem like a unique traveler.

[@jillleong9386]

[@rickyyoo1909]

13:40 In Korean the sign reads: "This elevator is only for the shopping mall. It is convenient for guests to the hotel (front desk, restaurant) to use the hotel entrance." This will explain the absence of the 4th floor on that elevator.

The KTX train you took is the 3rd fastest train in Korea, and the fastest is the KTX Cheongryong train on the far right at 2:20 in the video. Since the two trains were put into service 20 years apart, their interiors and exteriors are very different in design and condition. The train that was put into service later is in much better condition, so I recommend you take the KTX Cheongryong next time.

Please use a translation service like Papago. Not all countries require English to be used And speak quietly when using public transportation. You have to know the vibe. That's the sense and The elevator you took appears to be for building employees. So you wouldn't have been able to go to the 4th floor. Actually Hotel's only fault was that there were no English signs. There would have been no problem if the Korean instructions had been interpreted using the Google app. Sejong City is not a tourist city, so the hotel may not have been interested in foreign guests. Anyway, it's unfortunate, but if you think about it more calmly, everything happens for a reason. and Sejong City is not a new capital, but a city where some administrative functions have been relocated.

Seoul Station is not that big because there's other terminal stations for different lines e.g. if you're traveling from south-west to Seoul, your train's last stop will be Yongsan - which is about 15 minute metro ride from Seoul. If you are traveling from south-east to Seoul, on the other hand, your train will NOT stop on Yongsan but it will stop at Seoul. Of course there's some exceptions here and there but that's the general rule, which was introduced to use the railroad within Seoul more efficiently.
