Japanese Restaurant Address: 199-7 Myeongnyun 2 (i)-ga, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is just down the street from Snowflower Guest House, where I stayed. If you look at Google Maps, it is between Pho Bo Sungkyunkwan Branch and Daiso Hyehwa, on Sungkyunkwan-ro (street). It is located on the same side of the street as Snowflower Guest House so, if you start there and walk toward the Pho shop or Daiso, you'll find it! Good luck, intrepid adventurers!

The bad with the good is what we need to be included more often in travel vlogs. Normally, it's all about "this place is amazing and everything here is amazing". Thank you for the honesty.

Another great vlog filled with honesty. It’s what we appreciate best about your channel. The good, the not so good, and even the bad. Love how you take it in stride and still find a way to enjoy your time. Life, as you said last week, is good. Don’t let the not so great moments drown out the great ones. Like the Hanbock photo shoot! You looked stunning in those photos (gotta love the Converse shoes!!). And getting to meet the artist and get a special signing-how amazing. Also, you are correct, einspänner is from Vienna; it’s espresso with cold whipped cream. Here’s hoping you continue to have a great time in S Korea. Looking forward to this week’s IG posts and next Sunday for the vlog. Now-we’re off to find some good Korean food (you are such an influence!😂) Rob&Erin

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh wow! Okay I didn’t realise it was from Vienna. I loooove it! Hahaha the converse are my favourite. They tried to get me to change shoes and I refused. I gotta get converse to sponsor me somehow! The love is real! Still scheming a plan to get my dive certification 🥰 just trying to figure out my plans for the coming months. Hope you guys have had a good week. P xx

The caricature drawing of you is sooo cute! 🥰 Definitely frame it, and using it on merch is a great idea! Sorry about the bagel breakfast debacle. The pancakes looked like a much better choice anyway! Ole school comfort food never disappoints! 😉 Glad you got yourself a coat. Seoul has a cool energy. Would love to see the photos of you in the Hanbok! I bet they were gorgeous! ❤

Was in Seoul and Busan 23rd March - 3rd April. What a great trip - fabulous country and such dynamic cities. Still got my T-money card in the hope that I'll return one day. Great vlog - happy recent memories! Kakao and Naver maps better than Google or Apple in SK - worked a treat.🇰🇷😊

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh so glad you loved your time in South Korea!! I hope you can visit again soon it sounds like you fell in love with it 🥰

Absolutely enjoyed this vlog of Seoul!! Went there for the first time in October last year and it was such a treat (loooooved the food there). And I think you really brought so much joy to the shop owners of the paintings by introducing their shop and even getting the artist to sign! Truly made their day ❤!! Enjoyed your video as always!! ☺️

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh wow I'm so glad to hear you loved it too :) They were so sweet - they made MY day!

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Harriet and I had a lot fun in Seoul. We were there 8 years ago with a touring group. Hope to get back there in a couple years . We have a question for you ? ; Food Service ? How long were the queues and the wait for food ? That was such a joy to meet the couple who are artists . And to have the artist sign his name to the prints you bought. How cool was that! And you know you can never see it all. A return trip should be on your bucket list. Hope your doing ok Phoebe. Sending you much love❤❤ from Harriet, Jim and Yuki

[@travelforphoebe]

The wait times at most places weren’t tooooo bad but I did struggle with it. Sounds like you both loved Seoul!

[@skatingcanuck9837]

Thank you for mentioning the Sunflower Guest House. As a solo traveller it seems to offer a clean, simple, and comfortable options. I can't believe they offer free food! From the videos I've seen the best bakeries in Seoul are not necessarily super cheap, but the quality is next level for the price you pay. The lemon pastry was making my mouth water. So cool to have met the artist in their gallery. I can't help but feel art has more meaning when you've met the artist or connected with them personally somehow.

The London Bagel Museum reminds me of St. Viateur Bagel in Montreal, Canada. You buy the bagel and can buy toppings, but it is not a cafe where they prepare it for you. They also have huge lines.

@@travelforphoebe You are so natural on camera now and your audience can tell. I am definitely working on my own confidence. As I get older, I'm caring less and less about what others think because they don't know me and they have no ability to stop me from feeling happy unless I allow them to.

@@travelforphoebe It's a journey that I'm way overdue for! Whilst it's not a travel journey like all the fantastic places you're visiting (I hope to be able to do that some day), it's a journey none the less. It's been a rough few years with a lot of stress and illness in my family, and I've started to realise that it's taking it's toll on my soul and body also. You inspired me with that quote during your Japan video about your new life costing you your old one. I'm doing my best to push forward! Thank you for inspiring me. ☺

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for visiting

[@thisbrendalee]

I love all the fast food chains, denny's, mc donalds, casual street food, just good ole tasty food that doesn't need to look the best, but taste amazing!!! You're getting me excited to visit Seoul one day! Totally get you having one of those days where things aren't just working out! I've trained myself to just laugh it off, and just be grateful of the positives, and affirm how lucky I am to be here and get to see/experience this, and if something doesn't work out, it means something better/more aligned is coming through!! I notice if I keep saying how bad something is or complaining, it then compounds more undesired circumstances throughout the day! P.S recommend everyone to watch Physical 100! It's a Korean show, has Squid Game vibes, but it's a reality tv game show where 100 men & female of all ages and races compete for 300k through fitness quests! It's such a good inside into Korean culture and mannerisms!

[@travelforphoebe]

I love your mindset love 🥹🙏🏼 such a great way to approach things! Now when things go ‘wrong’ for me I always think of you guys and how well all get a good laugh in the comments 😂🙏🏼

Ooop! 😱😂🙏🏼

[@hyo2002]

At first, a small room like this can traumatize you. But once you get used to it, you'll be satisfied that it's very convenient and not lacking. If you feel stuffy because it's small, you'll see a wide world unfold as soon as you walk out of the door, and if you're in that room, you'll be able to get your act together in your own world. Especially if the price is too low, you'll be very happy because it completely solves the cost of accommodation, which is one of the biggest burdens you'll feel when you travel. Basic meal drinks, coffee, fruits, and instant noodles are also offered for free, as shown in the video. This is a place to offer at a very reasonable price.

[@travelforphoebe]

Ya! I LOVED it haha It was so nice and cosy in there and the hosts were really lovely.

We are off to Korea/Seoul in a couple of weeks (early May, 2024, then to back to Japan again for a bit because it's in the neighbourhood! :-) ) but probably won't to get everywhere that you managed to go, though we will do our best. How did you find the metal chopsticks? Not sure about those myself. Glad to see that you did get yourself a coat. And that dish of food in the market, was the squid/octopus actually still alive?!?!

[@youngcrippen]

So - another great watch. Seoul looks like it has a lot of food I would be nervous about trying. The coloyrs and imagery are something else. Now about me. 😂 I'm off on a trip to Edinburgh in the morning, but I'm putting an extra day on to explore. I've had to put in time in places before waiting to meet people or catch flights, but I have never attempted solo tourism before. Going with a different mindset. I know it's only a day, but I am more excited than nervous, and it's thanks to watching your vlogs that I want to try this, so thank you!

[@travelforphoebe]

Oh wowwwww! How was it? Edinburgh is very very high on my travel Wishlist. Hoping to get there in the next 12 months!!

[@youngcrippen]

@@travelforphoebe I had a really great time. I was just in the right frame of mind. I went to the Nationall Museum and on a Ghost Bus Tour, and none of it felt weird or uncomfortable. I also stopped for a pint in a Frankenstein theme bar. I have seen a bit of the world, but Edinburgh remains one of my favourite cities. It is spectacular, night and day. It is so old and quaint. It feels safe and there are great places to eat and drink. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. If you get that far, my return flight from Belfast was only £35, so it's not a huge step to see what we have here. I am going to go solo again at some point on mainland Europe, before or after the next football trip I am on. Thank you for the inspiration.

Annyeonghaseyo! Your caricature drawing looks amazing, just like you. FIBI merch or Phoebe merch? Sounds the same, right? So Google Maps isn’t improved since I was there back in 2018.

[@joemacdonald1980]

I think the coex starfield is my least favorite place in Seoul. It's not a library, it's an instagram location with books in a mall. Downtown Seoul, the old city hall is now the metropolitan library and is an actual decent library. It has nice views up on the roof and the second floor is a little mini-museum where the mayors office used to be. So much better than starfield for anyone who likes libraries.

Too many vloggers saying how great certain locations are. There are so many different places to eat, drink coffee, eat street food, and take photos that no one talks about.

Some of them were worth it tho 😂 those salt bread things were AMAZING! Best pastries of my lifeeeeee

Seoulites don't go to Myeongdong. There are cheap cosmetics and clothing stores. And there are only marketplaces with street food vendors that are not worth as much as they are expensive.😊

Thank you for sharing!!!!

I’m not surprised that the museum/bakery didn’t toast your bagels for you. Actually I’m more surprised that you asked for it 😅 it’s simply not a thing in East Asia (can’t speak for other parts of Asia). I’ve never been to a bakery that toasts or heats food for their customers. You walk in to a bakery, you grab what you want, and you go. That’s just how it is - it’s not a cafe.

The library indeed looks like a bit of a disappointment! ☹️ I love libraries too, but that place looks more like a tourist spot than a library/bookshop with all the noises and people wandering in the background. The food tour seems amazing though! 😋

[@gdfhh-vk9ug]

​@@sunnytsn6073It's not a library. It's a bookstore

[@gdfhh-vk9ug]

It used to be a bookstore used to be used by Koreans, but foreigners living in Korea filmed and uploaded videos, so tourists who saw it came. That's why it's noisy 😂😂

I would avoid English muffin place at Seoul, that place is just super busy, always sold out.
