Congrats on breaking 30k! Awesome work.

[@blackbelt2000]

That showerhead is a handheld one if I am not mistaken so you can just pull it off the mount and rinse yourself off. I have one in my shower. I don't think you need to bend over and squat to use it (I am chuckling at visual of it in my head). :)

[@ellquiness]

U r right

[@NangNangEE]

[@jc8068]

Sit on the little plastic stool brother 👍🏽

[@vinciniokhun2489]

Yes. That’s what the stool is for. Sit on it to do shower. Like in those public bath in Japan.

[@blackbelt2000]

@@jc8068 either case it's easier to take it of the mount rather than positioning your body to rinse off. Sitting or bending over.

[@baramshin8351]

It is a Korean culture that bows its head in humble behavior rather than being short. just enjoy it. ~~^^

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ah interesting. That is a clever way to encourage humility.

[@sonnyday6830]

You guys are always good at describing how your food tastes which is a huge plus, also Chev's puns and Tia's cheekiness never gets old lol

[@OnePackWanderers]

We very often eat the food wrong, but at least we enjoy it most the time 😅

[@kgs6854]

전주가 고향이어서 전주여행 동영상을 댓글까지 세심하게 잘 보았습니다. 동영상 모든 장면하나 하나가 다 익숙한 장면들이었습니다. 저도 여행을 좋아해서 저희부부가 자유여행을 많이 다녔습니다. 여행갈 때마다 여행갈 곳에 대한 공부를 하고 가도 아쉽고 부족한 점들이 많았습니다. 아무리 준비를 많이 해도 현지인처럼 현지여행을 할 수 없는 한계를 느끼곤 했습니다. 단지 자기가 체험한 여행이 가장 소중하고 아름다운 추억일 뿐입니다. 전주여행 잘하셨습니다. 앞으로도 건강하게 오래오래 좋은 여행들을 하시기를 바랍니다.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We also get the feeling of missing out when we travel to places. I think it is an unavoidable part of travel. To really know a place one would need years. But it is also a wondrous feeling, stepping off the train in a completely unknown city. You have an absolutely beautiful hometown, by the way.

[@Potomacstud]

Beautiful upload of another cool and beautiful tour of Jeonju by my favourite dynamic duo😂

[@rolandomichel2070]

Having seen most of your other videos, this is up there in the Top Favourites... not sure why exactly, but the overall vibe, photography and it being in a place most of us have never even heard of but now want to visit, kind of makes it special.

[@TalesFromOurPocket]

That shaved ice looks nothing like any shaved ice we've ever had!! It sort of looked like an acai bowl? Except it wasn't. Wow! Looks so good!!

[@e.p8516]

Such a beautiful shots in the palace

[@NangNangEE]

And the dumplings that you enjoyed from Veteran noodle restaurant, the skins are almost as same as the large piece of wheat flour in the soup you had when you visited Nam De Moon market, your husband had the Kal(nife) noodle.

[@lesliewilliams2876]

I can watch any walking video but your experience really helps a hopeful tourist. Thank you for sharing what is difficult in addition to the wonder of Korea.

[@whereisjohnnow]

you guys convinced me i need to go visit korea for a food tour. the noodle Cheveyo had is my favorite. i love all your video shots of streets, roof tiles, structures, walkaways, etc (starting at ~7:58).

[@OnePackWanderers]

Glad you liked those shots! Those are our favorite to record 🙂

Keoung Gi Jong is an historical school. Thanks for the cool scenery. ^^ㅋ

[@deeplearner2634]

Shaved ice is recommended to be mixed but not necessarily. You can choose to not mix and scoop bit by bit trying out combinations of ice and different toppings. Not to mention it looks better. At least i do it that way 🙂

[@yrzayrza]

it is different as snow ice ball..bingsu made with frozen milk normally . Anyways, Such a lovely couple !

Another wonderful video, Tia and Cheveyo! If you guys are still in Korea, I hope that you'll try some cheap Korean buffets where you can try many different local dishes all at once! I'd recommend Han jeongsik generally for a really authentic dining experience (where they bring out 20-30 side dishes all cooked with various ingredients), but since you are traveling on a budget, it might be worthwhile to look into some driver's restaurants that also serve buffet foods! While being cheap, the foods are often of similar quality. Hope you've been having a wonderful experience traveling through Korea and can't wait to see where your travels take you guys next.

[@OnePackWanderers]

This sounds delicious! Thanks for the tip, we’ll see if we can try one of these buffets out 🙂

[@user-rz1hb8rp8m]

I hope you enjoy KOREA. If possble, please visit JEJU Island. Have a good time in Korea.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We have heard Jeju is best by car, is that true?

[@hk3811]

@@OnePackWanderers yes that is true. but you can enjoy Jeju Island by public transportation(especially bus). many city buses run along the coast of Jeju Island every 15~30 mins. Most of the major tourist attractions in Jeju Island are located near the coast, and you can go there only by bus.

[@user-gihm_lp9fm]

I'm sorry that you hit your head on the gate because it's low. The low height of the door also means that you have to bend your back to show politeness. And the grain mill is for two people to apply more force. So there are two footholds.

[@OnePackWanderers]

That is a very clever way to encourage politeness/humility. Thanks for the knowledge!

You guys are so cute; always smiling or laughing. Being 6'2" and having a lower back problem, I understand the frustrations of a low shower, ceiling and doorways. Love you guys, keep safe and healthy 💕

[@OnePackWanderers]

It's a small price to pay to be exploring Asia. I agree though, my lower back will thank me when we get to a place with a taller shower 😂

[@honshin23]

The low door... means "be humble" in everything with your head bowed.

[@OnePackWanderers]

That is really interesting, how the Confucius ideals are incorporated into the architecture.

[@user-oi3py8nl8z]

I love Tia & Cheveyo You visited Jeonju Hanok Village It's a shame that it's summer rainy season in Korea If you go to Jeonju, make sure to eat bibimbap Bibimbap is the representative food of Jeonju An iconic dish representing Korean cuisine, Bibimbap Jeonju is the ancestral home of King Taejo Lee Sung-gye. where his ascendants had lived for a very long time. Then in 1410 the government enshrined the portrait of the first King in Jeonju.

[@NangNangEE]

See??? Jun-ju Bibimbap! >.

We will be sure to eat bibimbap in Jeonju 🙂 Also, thank you for the information!

[@persimmon1522]

You can ask for "Apcheema" - apron to protect your white shirt. Enjoying your vlogs^^

[@NangNangEE]

[Tip] Almost every restaurants in Korea have "aprons" to lend out to guests who ask for it which is given to the restaurant from the Soju(alcohol) company for free. Save your cloth clean. ㅎ_ㅎb

Ah! Good to know!

[@Joblovenuk]

Quite real city walk

[@molrr]

이언니 너무이쁨ㅋㅋㅋ

[@summitrc5262]

It's not that the height of the door is low because it's short. I know that there is wisdom to bow your head and be humble when entering and leaving the house.

[@user-ti3ur9cf2o]

와우 ~ 오리지널 한국집에서 주무셨군요,아침이 다를겁니다^^

[@rubikazariah]

Seeing the last video, I wonder if they realised that that was a hand held shower it would have come off the stand 🤔 I'm sure they did 😁 just too short or maybe the first time you don't have a shower cabinet to separate it from the toilet area. Perfect topic for another video - top ten culture shocks that you've come across on your trips.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hahaha we do indeed know about the hand-held shower head. Usually it's no problem (we've experienced this kind of shower all over Asia), but the low ceiling made it tricky 😅 Would be fun to do that type of video 😄

[@BACKSOO_J]

you have to use that green stool when you take a shower. In korea it is common to use small stool. the last wednesday of the month is culture day...so palace is free, museum or art museum, theater and exhibition ticket is cheaper. movie ticket 5p.m.~9p.m. is cheaper.

[@NangNangEE]

The reason inside the school doors/gates was short is you enter by bowing automatically. They made it bow, because usually the head master/teacher's place is in the middle of the school so you show the respect automatically as you enter. See, there's reason for everything in Korea. ^^

[@gregory5044]

You are correct. Even the courtyard of royal palace's main hall are not evenly made stones. that is reason why the people look down the floor when they walk. People have to learn to be modest according to the way of Cofusion teaching~~~

[@ADW4RNR]

[@kooklee2088]

Hey guys, let me explain why the entrance is lower than modern days. it is not that ancient people were way short. in old days, when people visit and enters the entrance, they bow to pass the entrance to show respect. I hope it helped you guys. thank you and have a great trip in Korea.

When we translate Korean letter into English Aphabet, 'ㄱ' is 'g' like 'g' of girl and 'ㅈ' is 'j' like 'j' of joy. Therefore the name of the place is not yonki but gyeong-gi-jeon(경기전).

[@karenwilkins6897]

Thank you I will remember that. How do I get a T card for travel on buses and trains plus Can I use my uk iPhone and SIM card from England

[@OnePackWanderers]

At every train/metro/bus station they have little machines where you can purchase/recharge a T Money card using cash (Korean Won). The currency exchange booth at Seoul airport offers pretty fair rates to get cash. You can use your UK iPhone but you will need a Korean SIM card, which you can purchase in the airport for a fixed rate depending on how many days you need it for (it’s $60 for 30 days for example).

The low gate makes you put your head down when you enter. And you show some respect to the owner of the house in that way. Those houses were for the people of higher class of society in ancient Korea. If you visit palaces, you can find much lower gates. Hope you guys enjoy Korea a lot
