Was mein Vater am Ende mit "My Son" ausdrücken wollte, dass du an mich erinnerst, deshalb hat er dich eingeladen. Dank dir konnte ich wieder sehen, wie mein Vater mich vermisst und liebt. 🥰 Vielen Dank noch mal! Ich hoffe, dass du einen guten Eindruck und die schönen Erfahrungen in Korea gehabt hast.

I may be wrong, but at the steps when you see the sloping metal ramps, I think you can glide your luggage there while going up or down the staircase so that you dont have to carry your luggage. Ive been to Seoul 3 times and I love the hospitality of the Seoul people.

[@blackbelt2000]

If you are referring to the part where he went down the stairs and back up on the other side, those are really there to make it easier to carry your bicycle up/down the stairs. I guess you can you use them for luggage but seeing how steep they were makes me think it would be difficult with luggage but I never tried it. There should have been ramps/conveyor belts for luggage at the train station exits so I am surprised to see there weren't any where he got out. I guess he went out the wrong exit.

@@Kikuyo2 To be precise, King Sejong and his scholarly officials invented “characters,” not language. Hanja, the Chinese characters that were basically used to write Korean up to that time, are ideograms. It's basically like hieroglyphs written on Egyptian murals. They say “eagle,” but when they say it in writing, they are drawing a “picture of an eagle.” King Sejong the Great invented a phonetic alphabet system that resembles pronunciation, and that is the Korean alphabet called “Hangeul” that Koreans use.

I’ve been hoping to see you head to South Korea or Japan for a while now, great to see you exploring Seoul. Very much looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@KenAbroad]

More videos coming from Korea 💪

[@kayipexplores]

The old lady making the noodles looks so nice 🙂and the gentlement treating you to noodles what a magnificent first meal! I'm really interested in your next Seoul videos Keep up the good work!

[@FeelinGoode]

What I like about this video is that you chose a random local area to stay in. Every other vlog stays in the same famous tourist areas and visits the same places to eat. If you did that, you wouldn't have gotten that interaction with the locals. Looking forward to your next Korea video!

[@IndoJoa]

It is good to watch how a foreigner see Korea for the first time! Welcome to Korea! I also lived in Frankfurt for 4 years and met really nice people to help strangers like me. I really appreciate it and never forgets.

[@马修-h9l]

South Korea is a country that disgusts everyone.

[@0animalproductworld558]

I like the honesty in your videos.

웰컴투 코리아❤

[@KenAbroad]

Thank you 😊

[@John-cq1ti]

This video was indicative of why you are a success on KZbin as you travel from country to country. This was a very enjoyable video to watch and very heartwarming. You have an amazing ability to connect with people and they can see you are a genuinely nice guy. People easily warm up to you because of your good nature and it is a real joy to watch your interactions with different people.

[@KenAbroad]

Thanks a lot 🙏

[@caoxiang2613]

South Korea is a great country. The people there are very friendly.

[@cyg-lq3vm]

In fact, Koreans are only friendly to whites and East Asians

[@shukriramlee]

are u kidding? 😂

[@georgesunaryo5080]

No, they are not

[@turgonmiyantur5974]

Kindness to strangers is rare these days- you're blessed and kam sa ha mi da too to the generous man :) have fun and enjoy your time there!

[@girafffurious]

I’m from Korea and currently living in Seoul. I really enjoyed your video and was happy to know you had a great experience here. The noodle mentioned in your video is Janchigooksu, which is directly translated as ‘party noodle’ made with anchovy broth. Looking forward to your next episode.

[@권단경]

Wellcome to korea! Your contents was so interesting

[@debbyjo]

Hi Ken! I lived in Seoul in 2019 so lovely, you most definitely have to go out for Korean BBQ! And the nightlife in Itaewon 😊 I loved going to FAUST German for FIST right 😉 Enjoy! And you’ll probably like Dongdaemun as well. 🍀

[@hppyguy888]

Hi Ken, very warm welcome to Korea. Please install 'kakao map' on your phone, then you can find any information easily, sorry late information. 😅 Hopefully you have enjoyed and were happy in Korea. Have a wonderful everyday! 🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷

[@KenAbroad]

Thanks a lot 🙏

[@SemnaLee]

I think the reason that the guy paid for your meal is that you reminded him of his son in Germany. He would have hoped that his son would be welcomed and treated warmly by someone in Germany too.

[@sangwankim5432]

Exactly👍

[@HappiBlueberri]

Only in dreams

[@s.ashishpandey6705]

That's the reason Only mediterranean people great traveller 👍

[@bug_on_internet]

The best and most exciting part of Ken's vlog is when he first arrives in a new country. He tries to find out new things, such as where to buy train or bus tickets, how to find directions to the hotel, withdrawing money from an ATM, and learning some vocabulary based on the country he is visiting.

[@jefflim3909]

[@zanetravel]

Hey Ken! Enjoy your trip through Korea 🇰🇷 It's an exciting place!

[@KenAbroad]

Thanks a lot Zane 🙏

한국에서는 구글맵보단 네이버 지도, 카카오 지도 등 현지에서 사용하는 지도 앱이 더 정확합니다 ! 수고 많으셨어요 !

[@Leo-xb8cq]

The area around Singil is a financial district in Korea I recommend Insa-dong, Samsung Station, Seoul Forest, and Seongsu-dong It's full of many things to see and delicious food

[@jaxb]

Thanks for a wonderful video Ken, thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@KenAbroad]

Happy to hear that 😊

[@chaw294]

Aanyeonghaseyo, Ken and all viewers here. As an experienced traveller, you are always very calm even though the arrival in Seoul is a little stressful. Great job, Ken. Yeah, it's amazing to see how clean and well organised Seoul is. Wonderful to see your interactions with the friendly locals there. Good that you are invited for a few drinks by that couple and he even paid for your meal. Well, Ken, another great presentation and amazing video. Kamsamida !! Looking forward to the next episode of your South Korea series.

[@KenAbroad]

Glad yo hear you enjoy the vlog 😊

[@chaw294]

Yes, l always enjoy your videos as they are entertaining, knowledgeable and informative. My typo error in the comment above : "kamsahamnida" ✌️😀

공항에서 버스타면 쉽게 올수있고 지하도 계단 옆 슬라이드 이용하면 짐 쉽게 옮길수있고 쑥 쿠키는 아무도 안좋아하고 손에 집는덧 마다 ㅋㅋㅋ 선택하는것마다 ㅋㅋㅋ

[@DavidKim-us8wd]

Hey Ken, the restaurant you ate at was anchovy based noodle soup. She said she added only a little bit of red spice just in case it was too spicy. You should consider using a translating app so they can understand you without getting frustrated. Enjoy your time in my motherland. Be careful around the drinking culture there 😂

[@JJurgenKlopp]

Als Südkoreaner und PhD von Deutsche Üniversität, vermisse ich manchmal die Zeiten für 10 jahren, die ich in Deutschland gelebt habe. aber das Leben in Seoul ist wirklich erstaunlich.

[@yjy2922]

긴영상에 새로운 곳어 흥미로움이 느껴져서 재밌어요 서울은 넓은곳이라 도봉산 북한산 서울둘레길 등 모두가보세요

[@wqz2781]

Nobody cares what the Koreans think. Just like the way the U.S. Army in Korea treats the Koreans

[@johncarter8539]

Super video... AMAZING ENDING! Thanks!
