So heartbreaking to see Tia on the verge of tears. The world's full of painful history, but we live and we learn, don't we? We all have a choice of whether we allow other people's negativity to bounce off ourselves. I'm so glad that you guys chose to let it go and not have someone else's negativity ruin your day.

As a Korean, I would like to apologize on behalf of the rude lady. There are historical disagreements, but that should not spill over to our personal lives. I hope you understand that most Koreans would not let international relations intrude on our everyday interactions with people of any descent and that her actions are abnormal. I hope the rest of your trip is safe and filled with good experiences!

전에 드신 비빔밥은 완전히 섞어서 먹어야 하는 음식이고, 첨에 드신 도시락은 한국이 예전에 가난한 시절에 먹었던 학교 도시락을 요즘 다시 인기를 얻고 재현해서 파는거라 외국인들에선 아쉬울수가 있습니다. 한국사람들도 재미 삼아 먹지 제대로 된 식사로 생각하진 않아요. 그리고 편의점 도시락은 평소엔 식품 안전을 위해서 차가운 상태로 진열 되기 때문에 꼭! 편의점 내에 있는 전자레인지에 따뜻하게 해서 먹어야 됩니다. 매번 식사에 실패 하시는 듯한 느낌이 들어서 아쉽네요.

If it helps you in any way, Koreans and Japanese are actually getting along pretty well these days thanks to cultural exchanges between the two countries. The world is healing!

[@exileatsushi7165]

No, we shouldn't try to understand their racist hatred. The Japanese soldiers who did terrible things in Korea have all died, many decades ago. Japanese tourists who come visit Korea have nothing to do with Japanese Imperial army from 80 years ago. Japan has become one of the most peaceful countries and is a huge consumer of Korean culture (kpop, kdrama, food...), many Koreans come to study and live in Japan. You can hate with all your heart the Japanese soldiers who committed those crimes a long time ago, but if you hate the peaceful Japanese people who come to visit Korea, you are not better than those Japanese imperial soldiers.

WTF. Really that happened to u guys?? That lady must be literally insane. Plz dont mind that crazy lady`s rudeness, and I hope you guys be able to forget it. Even though we, Korea have such a sad colonial history, the hatred against Japan normally happened in diplomatic or political conflict situation, not usually in that kind of personal contact each other. I'd like you to believe that most Korean do not express that kind of hatred to Japanese tourist or resident in Korea directly, even not have such an uncivilized intention. However, it doesn't mean that we've alreay forgiven and forgotten everything about our history related to the colonial period. People must be remained in justice and fairness, same as to those two nations. We don't hate Japanese people mostly, but just are sensitive about their goverment's political provocation, and this stance seems to be also mirrored by Janpanese. I feel really ashamed of her. What a crazy person she is. Hope u guys have wonderful time in Korea. Just forget it. She might be abnormal person, as well as very small minority among Korean people.

Nobody deserves racist/xenophobic/hateful comments, even more so for stuff not even related to them. With that said, these things are bound to keep happening and are being fueled by the Japanese government too irrationally denying for almost a century now the atrocities they have committed in Korea, China and SEA in the past. Prejudice can be fixed by educating ignorant people but also by acknowledging the crimes and suffering. There cannot be true forgiveness if the perpetrator refuses to admit guilt.

Sorry about the rude lady. Sometimes people hold a grudge on the past, history when people have no control of their heritage past.

It’s a bustling city with good lovely people with amazing culture and food. Must try Korean bbq, fish market.

[@lecherhao86]

Neither would I be quick to come to a judgement that people can't move on if they hold grudge on the past. It really depends on the harm that was done upon them, isn't that so? Even though we don't have other details about the lady, but we simply cannot dismiss the suffering the older generation Koreans have been through during the war..perhaps, and I'm guessing, that old lady and her family might have gone through the war. Same thing when you come over to Singapore and you happen to be a Japanese and you get nasty remarks or being discriminated by a local elderly. There could still be some elderly left who are victims of the war. You can't just say that they are racist because they are victims. Their experiences are real. My late granddad was 100+ years old when he passed on. He was from China and he came to Singapore and suffered both Japanese occupation of China in his days as a child and later on Japanese occupation of Singapore as an adult. The killings and torture and rape by the Japanese were beyond atrocity. And he still had so much hate towards the Japanese when I remembered the very last conversation with him when I was a little kid. He had moved on with his life. But the hatred is there.

@Korea Travel Notes@ 1. Korea is a homogeneous nation Korea has only recently become famous abroad and is attracting more and more tourists. Most Koreans are awkward with foreigners! - Korea is a Confucian culture. From an early age, we constantly learn to be considerate, humble, and respectful. That's why most Koreans don't discriminate!! (No country in the world is free from racism. Exceptions always exist) In fact, Korea is the safest country for travelers and you will feel it when you come to Korea. 2. Koreans are perfectionists. For a Korean to speak a foreign language, it is necessary to be able to converse at the level of a local! Most of the young people can speak English basicly! - The reason foreigners feel unkind to Koreans is that Koreans 'can't help you perfectly in your language' (Of course, this is gradually improving 😀) 3. Most foreigners I see speak 100% native language in Korea. In Korea, when traveling abroad, I think it's polite to learn a little bit of the language of that country. But all the foreigners I have seen in Korea come to me in English or their mother tongue. Everyone, please respect Korean! If you come to Korea by studying at least a minimum of Korean, it will be a really enjoyable trip! "sillyehnida" (Excuse me) If you approach Koreans in Korean, Koreans will help you like family, even if it's the first time they've met you!! I hope you all feel the beautiful "jeong" culture!

Thank you for being authentic and real in your videos !! you both are awesome !! My family and I just arrived in Korea yesterday too. a great cheap place to eat thats always been consistent is Samcheongdong Sujebi 삼청동수제비 , its near the Hanok village. Not sure how long your in Seoul and when you filmed this video.

We filmed this one yesterday! Still in Seoul, and thank you so much for the recommendation 🙂

hotels are expensive..should try air bnb

[@OnePackWanderers]

We will try that! Where we're from, Airbnb is usually more expensive than hotels so we haven't thought of that. Thank you for the idea 🙂

One of good way to eat good food with a reasonable price is to go to a food court at any department stores.. You will have a lot of choices to make at the food court. I recommend for you guys go to the Seoul Hyundai department store near Han River. At the same time, you can go to the Han River park at night for night view.
