First day in South Korea! Airport, Hongdae, Airbnb Tour, & Myeongdong! 🇰🇷❄️🍂 | Jm Banquicio

[@JmBanquicio]

Hi Fam, appreciate your comments about what I wear, however, it’s not that hindi ako nag prepare :( unfortunately, wala talaga akong makitang coat/puffer jacket that really fits me, yung masasara talaga. Second, as busy as I am, wala na din akong time maghanap dito sa Pinas since mahirap talaga to find one in my size :( Sabi ko nga, sa M Playground lang talaga ako nakakabili ng maraming damit na kasya sakin. So for this trip i just go with that I have. Makakita lang talaga ko ng coat/puffer jacket na kasya sakin, bakit naman ako hindi ako bibili! 😊 Suggest na din kayo where I can find one here sa Pinas. Loveyou, Fam!

[@meannacosta-cayton5349]

hi jm! about sa puffer jacket last yr we went to seoul ng winter as in -11, - 13. we bought our puffer jacket sa shein. my husband & my son xl sa uniqlo pero may kasya sa kanila sa shein. meron din akong nabili na reversible. sobrang mahal kasi sa uniqlo & maganda din yung quality ng shein. my parents naman got their puffer jacket sa sm surplus pero kasi yung size maliit kaya kasya sa kanila. when we remove the sticker it was from zara & h&m pala. i can share you the link if you want kung saan kami nakabili sa shein.

[@kesidayrit]

madami pong winter jacket sa northface and decathlon american and european sizes po ang meron sila kaya sure na mag-fifit sa inyo .

[@solojuanderer]

Hi JM, I am also on the large size. Usually maliliit talaga sa Pinas but luckily, I was able to find one in BGC Market Market sa 2/F Tiangge. Hindi mahal. Price Range around 2K - 5K

[@Muffinini]

​@@meannacosta-cayton5349pls share po the link thank you ☺️

[@theresetrinidad]

JM, North Face and Columbia are best for harsh winters. A little bit pricey but well worth your money. Columbia is a little cheaper than North Face but just as good. Yung jackets nila may lining called "omni heat" which is kinda like the concept of heat tech. So not as bulky but generates heat inside. I've used it in Canada at negative 10 and it really kept me warm. 😊 Paddy and I are always here to support you. ❤️

[@joshuasantillana4333]

Ang lamig - 59 Grabe guys ang lamig! - 22 Fam, ang lamig talaga - 9 AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Keep it coming, Kuya JM! Enjoy Seoul and looking forward sa Vlogmas 2023 mo.

[@joshuasantillana4333]

hahaha guys yung pag tantos ko eme eme lng yung figures pero nakakatawa yung thought na bilangin yung mga paulit ulit na sinasabe ni Kuya JM :p

[@ast6453]

Hi JM, can you also share the link ng airbnb mo? Thank you. Also, if your viewers will book through your link you can earn points ata for airbnb.

[@tererunai]

JM ~ you don’t need the whole winter shebang. All you need is a proper wool coat, hooded down jacket, gloves, scarf. Pamatong mo yang mga yan sa layers mo. Saka mo na problemahin yung boots at earmuffs unless plano mo taun-taunin ang winter trip. Sa sunod na punta mo ng outlet store bumili ka na ng quality ~ North Face or Patagonia or Columbia. Dedma na sa presyo, onetime investment lang yan. Eh ano ngayon kung tigiisa lang? Di mo kailangan ng marami, kailangan mo lang yung hindi ka mamamatay sa lamig 👍🏻

[@papaalphaoscar5537]

The difference in the Korean subway system is that the labels are for the next station and not the ultimate destination of the train.

[@JmBanquicio]

True! Kaya mas nalito ako 😅

[@yuanhk6889]

November palang yan what more pa ung 2nd week ng December onwards…Lumuluha mata ko at dumudugo ilong ko palagi noon😂 kaya sabi ko tlaga never ako pupunta sa korea ng winter😝 di ko keri kahit pa may pa wool na ootd kami that time…Kagagaling lang namin sa guam last week at layover namin dyan papunta pabalik kada labas namin ng airplane eh kahit mahagip lang ng konting lamig eh tumutusok pero okay lang dahil super init sa loob ng airport nila

[@mchannel629]

South Korea should thank you alot JM because you are showing them to the world. Even airlines or even luggage company should sponsor you . Sana all. Did you know I really like your carry on bag. Please continue showing us the world and most especially pinas. Happy trip !

[@cristydomingo5414]

Great help as we are also preparing to our travel for South Korea on Feb 2024. Very excited na kami 💜

[@teg88]

Hello Jm, I'm a subscriber and I really enjoy watching your videos. Just words of concern... you really need to buy a long insulated thick jacket (preferably up to the knee) and not just a wool coat. Wearing a heat tech clothing inside would not suffice . I live in a cold european country where winter sometimes reach 0 to -5C on average. You also need a hat/bonnet that is insulated with fleece, and also winter gloves that is insulated with fleece. The hands are crucial specially when you are vlogging. It can feel numb, to the point of feeling that bones might break. There are gloves that you can use for mobile phones (the 2 fingertips has special touchscreen tips). Kung wala kang makitang ganun, guntingin mo na lang yung 2 tips. At least you are warm. Observe what the locals are wearing. They know. I also watched your Japan vlogs and what you're wearing is not enough. Wool coat most of the time are not enough. Please stay warm all the time. More power to your channel! ❤

[@JmBanquicio]

Thank you ❤

[@dinghern5924]

Grabe when you went out of the airport na wala pang coat. 😮. Matindi po talaga winter sa SK, you may invest in a good puffer coat and maglayer layer with heat tech/ thermal underwear. Enjoy SK and looking forward to your Vlogmas :)

[@alaylakadph64]

Itong mga ganitong nakakalitong train travel ang isa sa dilemma ng mga traveller. Kaya sobrang thank you kasi itong vlog mo malaking tulong talaga especially sa mga gaya kong hirap din sa mga foot and traffic navigation. Kaya naiiba talaga vlog mo JM sa ibang travel vlogger.

[@haru_chel]

In-underestimate ko rin yung weather nung first time ko sa SK nung Nov 2017 kala ko like autumn lang sa Japan so I only have clothes for that. Tapos nag-snow! 😭 Learned my lesson and invested in a waterproof winter coat with a hood and learned to properly layer. Kaya a lot comfy na ung sumunod na Nov trips namin to SK. Excited sa SK vlogs kahit short trip lang. 😊

[@DanielReyes-lu5ui]

part na ng entertainment value yung scenes from your car to naia to destination airport, parang kulang tuloy. ingat po. God Bless

[@lifebyaprilb]

JM, you don't know how much you inspire to document my travels and my daily life ❤ Manifesting all the places you've been to ✨

[@JmBanquicio]

Thank you ❤

[@chelseashore13]

KUYA JMMMM PWEDE BANG HOURLY UPLOAD HUHU enjoy!! fave vlogger, super simple lang and cutie lagi esp with papang 🥰

[@JmBanquicio]

Hahaha thank you ❤❤❤

[@KB-oz2xf]

I'm so glad you did a transfer service. So convenient. We also used Arex the first time we went to Seoul. We started using the airport limo bus since it's still relatively inexpensive but still convenient. 3000php for a car service is quite affordable. I might try this this fall.

[@Life-as-I-know-it]

pansin q lang ... halow lahat ng mga pinafollow kng travel vloggers nasa korea now... Si marvin samaco, real asian beauty, then ito si JM>.. hhehehehe sign na talaga toh na mag korea dn.... Sana magkarron ng mga korea collab ung mga vloggers na nasa korea ngaun hehe kakatuwa ...

[@liabernadas6570]

I am beginning to miss KOREA! Thanks Jm for the vlogs.

[@tetta121]

Ang cute mo kuya, bagay ang bear ears. Inngit akooo justo ko ma experience ang winter 🥹

[@rosarioaquino2085]

Ang cute mo talaga, very natural😊 Keep safe and will wait for the coming vlogs🤗

[@khayerih]

Omg. 0 degree ang lamig na nyan. Stay warm, JM. Wear proper winter jacket po. Dito sa amin -2 na. Enjoy Korea!❤

[@JmBanquicio]

Thank you 😍💕

[@LuckyTiamlai]

Been in Korea for winter entour -17 degree😂. Need jacket up to your knees. Layering is important. Used wool coat bought heatpack there

[@kurisichin]

Naver app is king for the Seoul commute! Nung nag travel kami, super dali ng navigation, given pa lahat ng options (bus, train, walk, combi) with time estimate. Can't recommend enough hahaha 🤭

[@JmBanquicio]

This is what i used actually :) kailangan pa ng kaunting familiarization tho 😊

[@annaslater2389]

Koean winter is really cold and harsh because it’s high up the mountain so it’s super lamig talaga. You need complete outfit like beanie, gloves, thermal clothing, scarf, thick jacket and boots. 🥶

[@wanderingfeet1122]

Hello po, pag sa SK po mas better gamitin ang naver .. 😊 and need niyo po mag layer up kasi medyo harsh ang winter sa korea..😊

[@JmBanquicio]

It’s what i used hehe

[@MsSol1126]

Better to use Naver Map, sa subway naging way ko is hanapin yung map sa wall makikita if san ang next stop.Stay warm po.

[@chinchinjapin6708]

Bili ka na po puffer jacket, the short jacket and the long type with hood. Uniqlo is already a good brand for puffer jackets. Price is worth it para ma enjoy ang gala during winter season jm 😊

[@JmBanquicio]

Thank youuu

[@dkiceman10]

Andaming pasabog. Ulitin natin team replay!! Hahaha

[@travelhen1631]

Sir JM Nandyan dn po kmi nung Oct. 25&29..sa Hongdae dn kmi nagstay...try nyo din pong mag chicken and beer dyan..ang sarap po...😊😊

[@glibarios]

Sa SG rin, if the Uber driver has to wait for you, icha-charge ka rin nila. Kaya my friends would book an Uber only when they're at the pick-up point.

[@jkvsteps]

Hi JM! I was there a week prior ng travel mo and same! Nanigas din tlg mga kamay ko! hndi tlg kakayanin ng walang gloves. Also, sa navigation mas madali ang naver maps! I was able to navigate by myself the entire 7days ng hindi naliligaw 🤭

[@bellayu6180]

Yes excited na din ako December 25 bibisitahin ko mga ank kong military mis na mis ko na sla

[@gios7409]

Present! pati sa replay din😊

[@JmBanquicio]

Thank youuu

[@gios7409]

​@@JmBanquicio😊❤

[@peopleandplaces2012]

I think kung di ka magpuffer jacket magaling ka dapat maglayering. Like sando, tapos heattech, turtle neck then scarf. earmuffs plus bonet then Yung gloves baka may nabibili yung butas yung para sa fingers para nakakapagtext pa rin. Mala motorcycle driver datingan pero at least functional gloves ehehe. Tapos nakalong socks or leggings before maong pants. Well lamigin kasi ako kaya ganyan ako magprepare ehehe.

[@JmBanquicio]

True! 😊😊

[@MaryGraceLacsado-ut3sy]

Sir JM buy ka po ng heat pack and ilagay nio po sa pocket ng jacket ninyo everytime na lalabas ka para maging warm yung hand mo na sasakit na sa sobrang lamig.

[@JmBanquicio]

Thank youuuuu

[@jaysonllausas2691]

Naver app po yung ginamit namin na pang navigate dyan sa seoul, try nyo po 😊

[@lenea2685]

watching now. kasi i am planning to surprise the kids this holyweek

[@mauirivera4814]

Hi JM. Natawa ako sa reaction mo paglabas ng airport😂. It reminds me of our first Christmas Korea travel. Madaling araw nung dumating kami sa Korea. Paglabas namin ng airport ni hindi ko mahila un trolley bag at hindi ko mahakbang un mga paa ko sa sobrang lamig 😂😂😂! There was also a time na paglabas ko ng umaga hindi ako nakapag blow dry ng buhok pag hawak ko sa buhok naninigas un pala nag yelo na..hahahha! What a experienced! 😅

[@heydeonhere]

I love watching your vlogs, so humble and calm!

Have you tried japan’s winter? the temp is insane. I think Japan in winter is even colder than NY

[@appleshan8056]

Yung mga kawork ko before sa Korea na nag-work din sa Japan, sabi nila mas malamig daw ang winter ng Korea kesa sa Japan.. Yung ganitong season wala pa yung lamig na yan sa Korea, umaabot ang Korea ng -20plus pagdating ng January and Feb.

[@queenspringd4688]

haha LT relate sa ginaw! went to Seoul Dec 2018, sakit sa kamay lalo pag hila maleta, amazed sa kdrama effect ng umuusok bibig, pati layering ng damit it's a must, cute ng beannie mo JM 😊

[@frizhozpark6888]

Mas ok po dyan yung naver app for navigation. Google maps di masyado accurate unlike pag sa japan :) enjoy winter in Korea ;)

Thanks for the tips!

Considering it's SK is a first world country, hahaha, pwede na yung 4K most especially ang lapit sa train station.

[@highflyingstone2616]

Hello JM, wasn't it too cold to move around Korea in winter time? I am afraid you guys may feel somewhat coldness when you visit Korea in December (or January)

[@regdv]

Hi JM, super enjoyed your travel vlogs.. btw, do you use google maps in going around Seoul?

[@leemarialourdes3565]

Please take my advice ~~^^ I live in Korea for 29 years kasama ng pamilya ko~~~^^ Anyway, I strongly advise and recommend…. Please, eat “Bunsik” or any Korean street food like … Odeng, Toppokki… Bunga-Bang…. Kimbap… or any fried foods IN Namdaemun Market. It is beside Myeongdong. Short walking distance. ….. Myeongdong food is 2X or 3X expensive than in Namdaemun Market. Believe me…. My korean family were surprised when we went there just this year…. especially when it comes to street food. Buying any clothes… accessories… I strongly advice the Myeongdong Subway Basement Stalls….

hi sir, JM pinapanood ko vlogs mo. since your first time in Korea vlog I really like the way you do your vlogs nakaka inspired lang Talaga keep it up your videos makes people happy fighting ...... sir Jm pwede po ask? Ano po name ng Airbnb niyo? super ganda sana ma sagot salamat.

[@flourishwithzel]

I didn't know na mas malamig pala sa South Korea kesa sa Japan and mas early pala ang onset ng winter. Akala ko talaga sabay lang sila. I was in Japan 2 weeks ago and my hands were numb (5 degrees) And bilang ginawin ako, di ko sure ig kakayanin ko sa Korea. 😂 I'm learning a lot from your vlogs talaga.

It’s kind of distracting and “hypnotizing”. Hehehe! I also miss your usual signature background music. It’s “you” kasi. It really makes me want to walk with you throughout your journey.
