KOREA'S BIGGEST MARKET (Namdaemun Market)

[@wichetleelamanit6195]

Always love to watch your channel. I went to South Korea several times. Just miss this country and my friends there. Have fun and a good trip, from your Thai FC.

[@Potomacstud]

Meeting Lisa and Josh , it cannot get any better than that , this lovely korean adventure just got double billing of positive vibes , double the happiness , double the fun ...far out

[@LisaAndJosh]

Excellent food and shopping choices made all around, guys. Yay, 5th country!! The most excited we’ve been to tell people to “subscribe!” :)

[@lofiguy8136]

Please do more videos about Korea

Nam: South Dae: Grand Mun: Gate, door Namdaemun means ‘South Gate’.

Oh this all looks so amazing! We can’t wait to visit Korea later on this year 😍 We’re loving exploring your channel, you’re so ‘yourselves’ and honest, and you’re so great at going with the day - and not being too strict on a plan. You’re so cute too!

Wow! I've been following Lisa and Josh's venture in Korea for a few weeks now and surprised to see them in your video. Enjoy your stay in Korea.

7:50 you ate is silkworm

[@samueljang1204]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed a lot.

[@aronseo7]

tia? her smile make me happy. plz have a good time in korea.

[@ReadyOrNot_HereICome]

Seoul is one of the biggest cities in the world, so it does have great restaurants of all kinds when you go to certain area. I def recommend visitors to experience some boujie restaurants in Seoul too, cause they are great like in New York.

[@OnePackWanderers]

While walking around everyday, we have seen some very nice looking restaurants! Pricey but it seems like they would be worth it

[@kymwright263]

Yayyy lisa and josh i like the “awesome 4some” together 🤜🤛 And happy ive caught up on 4 vlogs i was behind on with being in Bali

[@OnePackWanderers]

You went to Bali?! How was it? We saw a video it looked really busy!

[@kymwright263]

We stayed in sanur there was plenty of people around our trip to (sorry josh) the Monkey Forrest was awesome!! one run up my leg and sat on my shoulder lol Didnt move the guys yelling keep walking!! Little monkey jumped off all good my son and partner were jealous there monkeys had to be coxed with corn for there shots haha Bali was hot but amazing our trip to Penida islands was exhausting for me sooo many stairs its like doing the amazing race hahahaha Lots of tourists going back which is great to see Didnt want to come home and go back to work ❤️ You guys have got the right idea travel as long as u can 🤜🤛

[@dancingpig4954]

You should also check out Korea's huge Department Stores! They are an experience! There's the biggest one in Busan and couple more amazing ones in Seoul! You can shop all types of brands and eat at the various food courts!

[@jackjardine8932]

Ah so cool you went to the tiny food market I was gonna recommend! I literally thought I'll watch the video first but you went there anyway. I love the set that you can order it's really cheap there too! The difference between your noodles is one is knife cut and one is hand torn and called "Sujebi" - glad you went. It's my favorite place! Also, you tried silkworm which is so brave I lived here since 2018 and have never been brave enough to try! Also if you haven't already had the recordation please go to Gwangjang Market and try the food there. My personal favorite is 우뭇가사리 which is a noodle made out of Agar (vegetable jelly I think)

[@Utbr88]

That bug you ate was actually silkworm’s chrysalis. Well, still better than a fried scorpion I guess.

[@박철-f8x]

You tried BbunDaeGi (뻔데기) which is not a bug but a silk moth that most Korean kids used to have back in the 1950s ~ the 1970s after Korea War when S. Korea was extremely poor. Considering our health, I think it's more beneficial to our body than ice creams or soda pops. Lots of proteins in it.

[@whojang2000]

Well, the 'Bug' that you experienced is 'Silkworm Pupa' ^^.

[@Cyn205]

Korea is so cool!! Would love if you guys could share the food prices again, just so us viewers can get an idea and comparison between the other countries you guys visited.

[@cooljeansguy]

I can see posted prices in the background: At 4:21 Noodle menu W8000-9000 (USD $6.19 - $6.96) At 6:35 Any 4 donuts for W3000, 7 for W5000 Dumplings, 6 for W5000, 10 for W7000 At 9:55 Sweet pancake W1500-2500

[@bkklifeguard]

More expensive than Japan.

[@thomaskim5008]

@@bkklifeguard The food prices in Korea have been going up due to the inflation and war in Ukraine. The food prices in Japan have been going up also. So, your comment might not be correct.

[@BreakawayBites]

The last time when I was in Seoul was 2019 and then we all knew what happened. Well, looking forward to returning there and checking out some of the other places that we missed out the last time. Thanks for showing us around

[@yoonseul_nybz]

Finally some great food! Hope you guys check out Hongdae area as well!

If you prefer lots of foreigners crowd mix im with korean people then itaewon is good for you. Lots of american people there. For beaches , jeju island in korea is beautiful.

[@nofood1]

Please go to *Itaewon* and check out the nightlife, haven't been there since 2019, that place was ALWAYS rocking. 💃🕺

[@sugarsugar7848]

7:41 it is pupa, bundaeki in korean. It is old snack in korea which was very common in 60s or 70s. Now only seen in the old market or canned one nicely comes with Soju. Ha ha. It is so usual to see that old lady of shop always say to the guest "try one for free". 10:11 it's called hodduck in korean which is most popular or compete with fish cake of all winter street food.

[@Reneclemant]

Hi, I like your channel. However, the biggest market in Korea is Dongdaemoon Market. Plz visit there. There are endless clothes shops and other stuffs

Just a note for travelers, Nandaemeun area are always accessible to walk through 24/7, vendors, stores, restaurants may not be open as a 24 hour market. At night closes up, check with hotel concierge.

[@mhn7700]

omg I was so happy and surprised but also not surprised that Josh and Lisa were your friends! :D I've only followed them for a couple of weeks, and you even shorter, but all four of you just seem like such nice, sweet, positive, adventurous people, I'm oddly excited to find out you're all friends!!

Amazing how you two are so adventurous and open-minded to food ! The bug - silkworm pupae - is one of the challenge-worthy menus, along with live octopus and a few others, not just for people visiting Korea but for Koreans as well. I am not really a fan of the silkworm either lol.

[@jimnenita9779]

Now I don’t remember who we saw first? you guys because of Thailand since we have been trying to go back since 2018 or was it Lisa and Josh where we saw them because we were researching for Camino Santiago Pilgrimage hike. Thanks for sharing.

[@jinroh01]

You two are wandering the streets of Seoul like someone lived there forever. I often get lost in Namdaemun market and you found that noodle alley on your first visit. Try night scene at the bank of Han River. It's locals favorite and dosen't cost any.

[@Scoutarella5168]

You guys eat such good food. It's probably been answered somewhere but just wondering what websites do you use to work out and book your flights, trains etc and what sites for accommodation? Thanks

[@katehan9129]

Hello~ Welcome to Korea~! and I just wanna say it is not a bug. It’s Silkworm (larvae). It has been loved by Koreans for a really long time. Very healthy and good for diet. 👍 Hope you find another interesting!! 😄

[@deeplearner2634]

Man you guys nailed on choosing the right snacks in the market :)

[@BluebonnetShelley]

I loved this! We were stationed in Korea ten years ago and it was one of the best assignments. My memory has gotten a little foggy so it was wonderful to see Namdaemun again. We had a little Mexican restaurant where we lived that was pretty good, too, but our favorites were the Thai restaurants. Once I took my son to Pizza Hut in Seoul and I ordered the weirdest but most yummy pizza. It had bulgogi, onions, and peppers in the middle with a thin border of some type of mashed yam mixture, all on a pizza crust. It was delicious! Loved Korea; loved the Koreans!

[@OnePackWanderers]

That pizza sounds delicious! Completely agree with what you said about Korea & Koreans!

[@피어오브갓-q4b]

In the evening, watch the fountain show at the Banpo Bridge over the Hangang River, eat ramen at a convenience store on the Hangang River, and order chicken + beer for delivery.

[@Kiki-tr1zo]

How's the cost of living and weather?

[@pohanahawaii]

I 💗 Korean veggie banchan and all their metal bowls and chopsticks! 🌱 For the environment, we should either eat more plant-based or much lower on the food chain like certain insects and bugs! It's really just psychological and habit that make us think beef ok, bug not. From my perspective, raising and killing larger animals that can cry and beg you with their eyes for mercy are way worse than eating some bugs.

[@slee2695]

lmao eat the bugs, live in pods, you will own nothing and be happy

[@slee2695]

Agricultural farming has caused far greater ecological damage than raising animals. My kids will eat lots of healthy meat and will grow tall and have well developed brains unlike vegan children.

[@pohanahawaii]

@@slee2695 : 🕵 It's been scientifically proven that: 1) Animal agriculture is more harmful to the environment. WHO recommended a plant-based diet to curb greenhouse emissions and global warming. 2) Unless you're eating pasture raised, organic animals, eggs, cheese, etc., you and your children are eating abused animals unnaturally confined to dirty, tiny spaces, fed with growth hormones, antibiotics, and GMO monocrops like corn and soy. 3) People living in The Blue Zones, which are mostly plant-based, are healthier and living longer than the average population. 4) Elephants and gorillas are herbivores, they grew pretty big and strong just fine. 5) Physiologically, neither the human teeth nor intestines are biologically designed for much meat consumption. 6) After a certain amount of saturation, more money will not make you happier. Except for maybe people dying of starvation in Africa, NO one near death ever feel regrets for not eating more. Doing more, yes. Eating more flesh, no!

[@slee2695]

@@pohanahawaii lmao..1) Cow farts cause more environmental damage than millions of hectares being farmed?..lol..there were millions of bison before people stepped foot in north america. More bison than cows we have now 3. Blue zones? You mean like Okinawa known as "pork island" or Sardinia which has lots of seafood? Or Hong Kong which comsumes the most beef in the world? 4. Gorillas have additional organs to digest fiber which humans dont have 5. Human teeth are designed to eat omnivorous diet 6.

[@pohanahawaii]

@@slee2695 : 🕵 You're pretty ignorant, obnoxious, and no doubt a Korean Karen. But that's on you for not Google stuffs about the environment and animal agriculture, or plant-based and human health. And stop drawing numbers from your head instead of scientific journals and data. Unless you've been living under an intentional rock, most intelligent people like doctors and scientists do recommend us to eat unprocessed foods, mostly organic and plant-based.
