The old couple's conversation in Jolla dialects is so hilarious.

[@BBallantine223]

Not as hilarious as Dan telling us he’s gonna find slavery, and instead only finding a minbak and a red bean based snack

[@eyosiasg.8557]

i've been going through your korea videos, and man you've really made me miss being in Korea I've decided i gotta get my act together, be financially independent, and get back there by late September thanks for sharing your adventures, Dan 🙏🏾

Nice to see you in Korea again, although the India content was also good, but Korea is just somehow more your place. Oh, and it was so random to see you in the Marco Roams video in the Philippines. I've been following him for a while and suddenly you walk into his video too. It was fun to watch 😄

[@whereisdan]

Thats amazing! which other youtubers do you watch and think i should collab with?

[@frida.heidi.]

@@whereisdan Well, because I mostly watch Finnish KZbinrs and only a few international traveller, it's hard to answer this ...But Adventure Elliot could be one. He is an American living in Spain. It could be fun to see you in Spain!

@@whereisdan Have you ever been to Daejeon in Korea ?

[@ELTExperiences]

A great little vlog. Thanks for sharing and the slavery in Korea was something that I wasn't aware of. I certainly have to travel more around Korea. It would be wonderful if we could meet up one day on my travels in Korea and in fact I am visiting Gwangju this Saturday and have a day to travel and give a workshop for KOTESOL. Let me know if you fancy meeting up in the near future. 😊

[@ELTExperiences]

Funnily enough, there is an old Korean poem called '섬' which is about people: 섬 - 정현증 사람들 사이에 섬이 있다. 그 섬에 가고 싶다. Enjoy, but I think the closest translation is "No man is an island".

@@whereisdanthank you, but what is there for someone who has lived in Korea twice and is also from the UK? I was hoping to meet up and share our collective wisdom regarding this side of the world, with us being both Brits. I am quite comfortable travelling this side of the world and happy to tag along or help where necessary. 😊

[@sparky5860]

So…. Another great video… Question: Do you feel as comfortable as you look traveling in South Korea? It almost seems as though South Korea is your second home…… All the countries you have visited you are very confident, but In South Korea you fit in with the locals especially well…… Safe travels always…..☮️

[@whereisdan]

i want to live there again, with my mate joe.

[@bassdee10]

Just watch a video from Marcos in the Philippines, saw you there with him I enjoy the work you guys are doing with the videos, thank you.

[@whereisdan]

so happy you've come to check out my videos! :D

[@jumibae9665]

섬 is a noun which means an island. 이 섬에서 살아요: I live on this island. But when you refers to a name of an island like the Island of Jeju, you add -do at the end of the name : 제주도

To make lots of money on youtube. I can give ideas. 3. To travel the world on a shoe string budget. Thanks
