Hypothermic Experience in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷

Finally, my merch store - 96a9d4-2.myshopify.com/
🌎 : DOBONG DISTRICT, SEOUL (8.4/10)
What's better than drinking Makgeolli under a bridge with a group of Ajoshi's, sipping Soju and munching some cucumber. The best thing of all, all the birds chilling by the stream. Good thing I was with a flirtatious bunch of lads, eager get them to join our party. #Seoul #Southkorea #Let'sGu

[@MenuMcBlue]

Since certain moment , camping, cooking and swimming,etc is prohibited in national parks. Long time ago like 80s ,when I was young,we used to have some barbecued pork belly in theparks and of course swimming camping, used to do everything. Now it is less fun with those regulations, you ,either have to find a remote place where no one is around to do that. When you are seen by bunch of people of course there should be those who try to inform you. heh.

[@user-vj1ng2np4n]

This is the second video I have watched on your channel and I like how respectful and kind you are to the older Korean folks when you interact with them (although it is a little weird when you refer to ajummas as birds lol). Great content mate!!

Heyy thanks for watching and subscribing! The temple was at the bottom on dobingsan mountain, just before you start the trail. Not sure of the name! sorry

In my early 20s, I used to have a period in my life not unlike what you're living right now. The more I watch your videos - I found you quite recently - the more I yearn to go back to that lifestyle. Such a transition doesn't seem to be in the cards for me right now or ever again, but one can hope, I guess.

I think the ban on swimming at the national park is to prevent water pollution and damaging the site. Popular national parks in the U.S. also put restrictions on swimming and some require advanced reservations because too many people visiting them degraded the site.

ajeosshis are the true progenitors of gorpcore. they've been carrying that outdoorwear/techwear look since before even neds and chavs. trot is the original hardstyle.

[@whereisdan]

i love trot and ajoshi style. it's badboy.

[@user-yu6sc6ty6s]

I regularly go jogging in that area. It may not have the touristy charm of Seoul, but it's far from being a dangerous place. It's more of an undeveloped town with some poverty issues. the government faces limitations because the houses there were constructed illegally in the hills after the Korean War to 70s. As a result, they can't offer compensation or redevelop the area since none of the residents legally own the properties or pay property taxes. Evicting them is also not an option due to ethical considerations.

[@whereisdan]

i really wander what will happen to that area!!

12:40 21:28 Due to Korean sentiment, it is very rude to throw away the food that someone gave you and.... Regardless of sentiment, the act is environmental destruction Instead of pretending to eat and throwing it away I think it would have been better to just leave it there Or you should have refused to accept the food who give. This part should not have been uploaded as a video but, the video that conveys Buddhism that even young Koreans do not know well seems to be meaningful I'm just trying to give advice, so don't put much emphasis on it.

[@user-lg1he7ve5d]

Additionally, The difference in cultural and civic consciousness between the elderly and the younger generation in Korea is quite large. Older people, they are seasoned but can sometimes behave far from the civic consciousness of These days. So.. You should think twice before you see and learn the behavior of older people.
