Seoul during fall looks so dreamy. The colors of the leaves and the architecture are chef’s kiss.

[@1AngelicHeart]

As I was watching this video you made me cry. Last November we toured this palace with our Korean friends. The area is so beautiful 😍. My daughter and I usually visit every year but unfortunately we can't make it this year. I'm grieving and missing Korea. Fall and winter are our favorite times of year. I wish you could post 2 videos a week but I understand it a process to post just one. Thank you for taking us around Korea and sharing locations. Oh and when we were there last November, I went to Wheat and Meat after watching your video. Great sandwiches! Keep these awesome videos coming. Thank you 🙏

[@2hearts1seoul]

@@1AngelicHeart So glad you got to enjoy this area too 🥰 And Wheat & Meat is the best!!

[@drjaekim]

I am so glad that you guys made a visit to Duksoo Palace. Before the birth of my son this year, (therefore having to file for temporary absence) I used to guide visitors to Duksoo Palace as well as Chang Deok palace over the weekend. It would have been cool if I were able to meet you guys in person 😊 FYI, among historians, Duksoo Palace is subject of controversy, whether to separate the place from other palaces since it was planned to be used as an imperial palace. So happy to see your video!

[@skatingcanuck9837]

I love how Seoul is a mix of old and new architecture. I love how the palaces have been preserved (and rebuilt when burned down). In Canada too many historic buildings have been destroyed - we don't have the same respect for history here. Some tourists complain that Seoul is expensive, but when you can visit a palace (often with performances) for 3000W or free with hanbok that is a steal. In Toronto it costs $45 to visit the CN tower or our castle! Many attractions here cost over $25. The Korean government subsidizes a lot of tourist attractions and also offers a lot of free light shows and festivals. Plus dining out is affordable there. Please give us updates on the neighbourhood kitties.

[@2hearts1seoul]

Dining out has gotten a lot more expensive in Seoul over the last few years though 😬 But at least there’s no tipping culture 😅 Neighborhood kitties are doing good! We’re in the process of fattening them up for the winter months 🐈

[@skatingcanuck9837]

@@2hearts1seoul Dining out is more expensive everywhere since the pandemic. In addition to no tipping you just get far more value in Korea with banchan. As you know here in Canada you often order courses. Do the prices include tax in Korea? I notice you tend to go to larger restaurants, but sometimes I watch videos of small neighbourhood adjuma restaurants that tend to cost less. Have you considered exploring some of those?

[@2hearts1seoul]

The prices do include tax. The restaurant we went to in this video is a small family-owned restaurant :) We still notice large price hikes at these smaller restaurants (and cafes) as well, since the cost of groceries (and rent for those who don’t own the units) here has gone up so much.

[@patriciad.7309]

We were in that Lotte store a few weeks ago, and we saw the Scoff store - I remembered that it was a bakery that you really like. Those department store food floors are amazing!!

[@vivocat5203]

I love Sundays because I look forward to visiting with you 2hearts. This brought back memories... I 've written two books that were translated and published in Korea. I write and illustrate my travels, and one book was about traveling in France, and one book was about experiencing nine great gardens in the world. In 2023 I went to Korea for six weeks but I haven't written about that trip. But it was a perfect Korea trip.Are there many books in Korean about foreign travelers in Korea? I know it's a huge niche in Britain (Brits love to read how international travelers process the English) but if there is such a readership in Korea, or in the rest of the world for Korea travelogues, I don't know. thank you for reading.

I am delighted enough as it is with the "usual" Korean palaces, but this one? This one is so interesting! They have neoclassical buildings to receive foreign guests 😯, and the details are interesting too! (also so delighted to see Sarah clocking the building's period accurately, you go girl 😂). The neighborhood is indeed interesting, really like the atmosphere there. Hope y'all have a cozy day 🍂

@@2hearts1seoul Hahah love it. Oh and also I really recommend The Lincoln Lawyer if you haven't seen that one yet. It's on netflix. I guess it's a crime drama but with quite a bit of comedy as well and cozy too. I also loved Nobody wants this, cute romcom series.

[@jennifer.rosales]

It’s been a while since I’ve commented, but im watching every single video. I’m not sure if either of you have read Anne Rice’s vampire chronicles books, but I would recommend the show, Interview with the Vampire series on AMC. It’s very un-censored but the writing is amazing. There are two seasons and season 3 is coming soon, im so excited!! 😊 I do need to read the rest of the first book, but it’s difficult to find time….it’ll get done!😅

I love both older style buildings mixed with modern/newer style buildings. I live in Windsor, Ontario, a town built for cars, while the city has mostly modern homes and buildings, it’s 10 years behind time and it’s one of the last cities to get any new shops/cafes and restaurants and a lot of places will close after a year, more (than)or less. In terms of things of things to do here, there really isn’t much once you’ve seen it all. The number #1 place that everyone recommends to visit is the Windsor Riverfront which gives you a view of Detroit and Detroit River, and other places people recommend to visit aren’t even usually located in Windsor (Essex, Kingsville, Leamington or even Detroit). I want to visit different places in the city to take photos and videos of nature and stuff but there really isn’t anywhere interesting for that at least in my opinion.
