yellow seats are for disable or elderly person not just for elderly. If you can't walk or something like that you can use that seat. It is 교통약자석 in Korean. and also pink seats are for pregnant woman.

Use 'Naver map' or 'Kakao map' which are altered for using in Korea. 'Google map' is supposed to inaaccurate in Korea due to the military reasons. (Addition) If you have to charge your phone, you can also go to a convinent store. It'll cost you some but it's not that much. There are usually two different kinds of charging. One is 'reguar charging' that takes several hours and the other one is 'quick charging' takes about 30 minutes.

Great video - thanks :) I'm going back in October. One top tip though, I took a Revolut card with me last time and it meant that I could take out cash from an ATM without any charges and the rate of the day :)

I meet a south Korean woman today, she was my Uber passenger we spoke Thai and Urdu and Spanish together for a split moment she was awesome and told me I should visit Korea ,, I wish I would of asked her what her name was maybe she could of helped me learn her language. If it's meant we will meet again, I love everything about Asia. I am from North America however I feel I should of been born somewhere in Asia

Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful.. Ive heard of people bringing an empty piece of luggage when they travel to put all their shopping items in it. Or they just bring a couple of items and shop for everything when they get their.

Hello Amy! Thank you for your awesome videos. 1 question is it ok to do buskering in Seoul. Something like maybe playing guitar on the streets?

@AdventuresofAwkwardAmy Жыл бұрын
There’s definitely a lot of busking around hongdae and the hangang parks, but im not sure if they have to get permits or rent the locations, etc

Hello. Thank you for the video! This is what I need as I'll travel to South Korea in Oct. I'm wondering if Discover Seoul card works the same as Tcard or not, is it available to all subway, train and bus lines? I'm planning to order Discover Seoul card as it offers free entries.

i've travelled to seoul twice with my parents but i'm going just with my friends for the first time for our grad trip!! i'm very nervous because i've never planned a trip before and my parents and i often got around seoul by using our chinese knowledge to guess the words, but i'm as great at reading chinese myself. can't wait for the trip though!!

@AdventuresofAwkwardAmy 2 күн бұрын
im not too familiar, but i did meet a few vegetarians during my travels. They said that there are kakao groups where ppl recommend restaurants (i think they found it through their uni tho) and another of my friends would just try to order dishes that were easier to prepare without adding meat - like kimbap or doenjang jiggae, because they don’t use meat or seafood as the soup base

It depends on the line you’re taking and type of bus, but it ranges from like 500won to 1500won. Tmoney cards usually provide like a 100won discount on the fares

I’ve never done a package tour in korea before but there are definitely perks to it. I personally like wandering cities so i would prefer to book day trip tours if anything. Klook or trazy usually has a lot available
