NOT HOW WE THOUGHT WE'D START THE DAY (Gyeongju Day 1)

[@flyingducktv]

07:09 it is Steamed Eggs (Gyeran-jjim). not tofu 😀😀👍👍

[@jhc1jinx]

What I think is neat is that the astrological tower was an attempt to map the night sky to correlate the time of the year over the years to map planting seasons, monsoon seasons........and so on and to push back against superstitions. It is a testament to people all throughout history in all parts of the world who believed and worked to make the future better.

[@blackbelt2000]

I saw them cutting the grass on one of these burial mounds years ago. They have a post with a long rope at the very top of the mound and attach a lawnmower to the end of the rope at the bottom. Then starting at the bottom, they would walk around the whole thing while mowing the grass and then after the first lap they would shorten the rope a little bit and mow around again except higher up the mound. They would keep doing this until they reach the top. Pretty clever since the rope is doing a lot of the work holding the lawnmower from sliding down the side of the mound. Not sure how they did it in ancient times tho.

[@AnnaTravels]

Awesome. We were supposed to go to Korea this fall, but had a baby so we will postpone it until she's old enough to travel so we can see my mum's side of the family. Enjoying this series.

[@BegaW]

We actually have many of those similar kind of tombs around the Gyoungsangnamdo area which are from Gaya dynasty(had been merged to Silla). Btw, That yellow tofu looks like is the steamed eggs.😃 And the prints, (Jikjisimgyoung) is currently in National Museum of France. If you guys have extra time, you may also visit a place called Najeong, The place is related to Bakhyoukgeose, the first king of Silla. Nothing else to see but the pine trees were impressive(in my opinion). Other than the hystorical places, there are a big lake and you can take a bicycle or other rides along the lake. Donggung and Wolji(used to call as Anapji) are beautiful especially after the sunset due to the special lightings. Enjoy Gyoungju. Thanks for sharing. Take care. 🌸🌸🍀

[@thomask4908]

"Gyeongju" was a famous field trip (I don't know if this is the correct term) during my school days (80s-90s). 2-3 schools in Seoul rented the whole train and went down to "Gyeongju" for a 3 day 2 night school trip. I remember that like any other middle and high school students, I was ignorant of the historical importance and meaning of the Gyeongju area and just focused on playing. However, there are many historical relics in Gyeongju, and I think it is an important area where you can discover the greatness of our ancestors (I am Korean). It is an area I would like to take the time to visit again. It is a pity that there is no information about visiting Seokguram Grotto of Bulguksa Temple. It is a very high-level geometric building. Anyway, as someone who enjoys your travels, I want to say that I am enjoying your videos.

[@BillKim1]

Tofu is Japanese word for '두부'(dubu). Miso is a quite different kind of fermented soybean paste. Korean one is '된장'(do-en Jang).

[@elation8101]

If it's pungent. Probably Chung Gook Jang. Most people can handle Doen Jang. Not the Chungook Jang

[@speakupyt4900]

It's not the Chung Gook Jang he tasted , it was a Doenjang(Fermented Soy Bean Past Stew), It take to acquire a taste for Doenjang though---"Doenjang" has amazing multiple health benefits.

[@if8172]

i got rly triggered me when my non-korean gf called doenjang the korean miso lmao

[@DavidandSarah]

Ahhh it's the worst when you forget something in another town or country! Thank goodness he could hop on the bus and get it and it was cheap enough. Very informative video and really cool history 😊

[@lancecorporal7605]

Kyong-ju is very beautiful during spring (cherry blossoms time)

[@pohanahawaii]

🇰🇷 Interesting temple , cool cat 🐾, and good food for thought about burial mounds upkeeping 😏

[@shelleyjubb]

Awe Tia glowing in her geeky happiness makes me happy. It’s so good when you share your random thoughts like the mowing it’s so natural and down to earth I love that about you guys.

[@FlavorofMind]

Thanks for another great video y'all. At the end, I really loved how Gyeongju looks at night!

[@PaulinAsia_]

I totally agree Tia, I studied medieval history of Britain and Europe and to be able to see these places in real life would be incredible.

[@NangNangEE]

11:05 No sunflowers yet? Bummer. I loved that place especially when the whole field was covered with sunflowers. Oh I really miss Gyeong-ju!!!

[@ww3k]

Nice history lesson today! Love how excited Tia is to share =)

[@OnePackWanderers]

She was more excited for this than most other historical sites we have seen on this whole trip 😂

[@ww3k]

Looking forward to more lectures

[@NangNangEE]

7:50 That is the most famous Korea's #1 soup, 된장찌개 (DwenJangJjeGae / Fermented Bean paste soup)!

[@NangNangEE]

^^ smells better than rotten tofu.

[@NangNangEE]

Hmmm,,, DwenJangJjeGae is what most Koreans call "Mom's food/menu" which It brings back the memory of our mom. ^^ Mommy~

[@ww3k]

And bravo to Cheveyo for bus(t)ing back to keep the show running!

[@ginapino2857]

What a guy and what supportive traveling partners! I look forward to your uploads! That stone bridge over water is so gorgeous! Btw, all Korean meals come with lots of banchan. I love tasting all of them. So much food!

[@kymwright263]

Wow amazing loved watching this one Hope you took plenty of pics Amazing memories for you And a history lesson for us Love it Thank You!! Xx

[@grasshopper-b612]

It brings so much memories that I forgot about. The last time I've visited the place was 1977? Thanks for the video.

[@kathylamparter2963]

Thank you for my postcard. What a surprise when I opened my box this afternoon.❤️

[@OnePackWanderers]

Glad it made its way to you, Grandma 😊

[@Potomacstud]

a very historical educational trip with the dynamic duo , lovely upload with shout out to the wonderful effort put in despite some unforseen circumstances encountered , well done !

[@dapat69]

Loved the stone bridge am a stone bridge addict ,also burial mounds so interesting well done to you both don’t forget to pack everything 🎉🎉 regards Dave

[@jp28dew]

@7:11 that's steamed/scrambled eggs. I actually love those!

[@dsjkim]

I visited Gyung-Joo back in 2007. It was SO cold for me. I guess got used to Cali weather and I forgot how cold Korea can be in March.. Try to stop by Cheonma-chong if you could.

[@FlavorofMind]

Korean winter is serious business, even for me as a Korean living in Philadelphia. So cold, but the weather makes hot meals taste even better!

[@MoodyTimtim]

You know, as a Korean myself, it's so great seeing you guys experiencing the culture here. Hope you guys visit Korea again in the future!

[@기린1-k2g]

It is the rainy season in Korea, so cloudy and the humidity is high, but there will be many sunny days around next week. At that time, many people go on vacation to enjoy summer. I went to Gyeongju last year, thank you for showing a good video. I hope two of you enjoy your date walk in the trees, lawns, breeze and cultural assets.

[@Freeaswind]

Great video! Thanks..

[@naturallogiclife4475]

Traveling to Korea during the rainy season is gloomy. Spring and fall are good seasons for traveling to Korea.

[@NangNangEE]

9:45 Steamed zucchini and onion, seasoned with salt or tiny sea shrimp with some sliced red pepper.

[@donguri5306]

Yeah~That's true we are sincere about food🤣🤣 the amount of it also lol When i was a little kid my grandma always gave me a mountain sized of rice🍚

[@Thomas-dq4cn]

Thank you for sharing this amazing night-view of Geyong Ju city!!!

[@edy911911]

as an Korean I love to see gyoungju. it would take a month to see whole sites of gyoungju namsan trecking is really recommended

[@jasgem76]

Tia's excitement at seeing things she's learned about at school reminds me so much of myself. I absolutely relate to the excitement of seeing textbooks come to life. Thanks for the history lessons. 🙂

[@Walts-Travel]

Here we go!!! Hey Wanderers! 👊

[@WILLNEVERCONFORM]

Fascinating food. Korea & Japan only Asian countries I've not visited. Thanks for sharing that

[@lancecorporal7605]

[@Cooper_Mom]

The one you referred to as soft tofu is actually steamed eggs called 계란찜! 😀

[@OnePackWanderers]

Ah! Thank you for letting us know 😅

[@AmericanInThailand]

Another solid Vid! Thanks!

[@skylovel2869]

Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond (Anapji Pond) are must-see night tours!!! If you didn't take a night tour of Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond (Anapji Pond), you shouldn't say that you have traveled to Gyeongju.

[@cosmos8098]

Please visit the Gyeongju expo park!! It's got some cool architecture and history, only 8,000 won to get in.

[@flyingducktv]

04:19 this tower called Dabotap Pagoda of Bulguksa Temple. you can see in the 10won korean coin. it is the 20th national treasure. and other famous Seokguram Grotto first began construction in 742 A.D. alongside neighbouring Bulguksa Temple. Seokguram Grotto is registered as National Treasure #24 and with Bulguksa Temple, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

[@kelleo4h7n]

Your whole Korean trip vlog is definitely very entertaining and informative. Kudos to both of you for covering a lot of interesting places (and things to do and eat when in Korea). I love to go there even more!!!! There's just 1 thing that I'd like to point out if I may.. dont mean to bash and it's not my intention at all but maybe.. just maybe Tia could minimize the time when she's trying mention a place or something that she's unsure about a pronunciation.. she tends to say it like a question form waiting for confirmation. I think everyone would understand that she wont be able to pronounce every word perfectly so I guess just blurt it out and say them confidently. Just saying.. but overall you're both doing so well and we can really say that you're having so much fun! ENjoy and be safe!!!

[@평범하게살자-o3b]

In Gyeongju, especially "Anapji (Donggung and Wolji)" should be seen at night.

[@user-rr2lm4il6z]

All the stone structures(Old) in Korea were made of granite. So it's different/difficult from other types of stone. (Ex, made of marble) * Hand made - 1,000 years ago Enjoy your stay in Korea.

[@skylovel2869]

The soybean derived dish dish you mentioned(7:12) is steamed egg, not soybean derived dish

[@jordanajun3551]

when u talk about chill tofu is steamed egg. ^^

[@tedkim3066]

You finally had something close to "Hanjunshik" but the best place for that was Jeonju where you can spend less than $20 and get 20 plus Korea' best banchan. Enjoy!

[@vinhquyen46]

Hi, good morning from California Because forgot a charger you had take the bus back to get it? What's a bumper. But I just love watch your video. Thanks!!!

[@NangNangEE]

7:10 That is actually a piece of steamed egg with sliced carrots. ^^ not tofu.

[@NangNangEE]

And the cucumber is just salted pickle mixed with red pepper.

[@hb237scl]

두분 한국에 다시 오시길 기대 합니다 ~ 👍💜✌️🇰🇷🙆🇺🇲😅🙋‍♂️

[@BACKSOO_J]

7:07 steamed eggs

[@joeymerry5044]

I'd recommand Dong-goong&Wol-ji especially at night, and Seokguram which is a stone statue of the Buddha constructed in a cave thousand years ago, but was found just hundred years ago.

[@남로즈-u5v]

lost laptop charger There's been a bit of a hitch You went to Busan again. Transportation is very convenient in Korea. the cost is cheap There are many restaurants everywhere. Good to eat a variety of foods in traveling come in contact with the culture of the country An open mind is required when experiencing the food of that country. In that respect, the trip of the two of you is very positive. Racing is better than seeing Seeing with the chest is worth more Have a nice tour Korea with four seasons Than the hot summer and rainy season Spring or fall is the best time to travel after a long time If you visit Korea again Be sure to come in spring or fall I wish you both good health and good luck

The bus system looks pretty good. Easy to navigate?

[@OnePackWanderers]

Definitely easy to navigate. Most bus stops even have a little touch screen kiosk with English!

[@NangNangEE]

6:57 oh,,, there was "NaMul"s back at fish(I think it's "EulGi", quite a delight sea fish.) It would be better if u had introduced the NaMul(Potherbs). Maybe next time? ^^ I think it will be the next Super great food for Vegetarians. Plz lookup and introduce it with a #NaMul when you have it again.

[@flyingducktv]

It's just took 1 day by parcel service in korea normally. cost $3~4 USD 😭

[@OnePackWanderers]

We considered it but the time schedule was too risky for us 😬

[@purcorean]

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a new cord? koreans love apple stuff and pretty sure there are apple store you can just get some spare parts from.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Surprisingly, no. It cost $12 to retrieve the chord and that particular one sells for $59 😅 That being said, we did check several electronic stores in Gyeongju and none had a USB-C to MagSafe 3 chord. I think it was more difficult to find because Apple introduced this particular chord less than a year ago, so it hasn't had time to make its way into most stores.

[@jamessocal8946]

Cheveyo says there’s just enough time to see the really important things. Followed by three quick shots of Tia walking. Should have just stopped the video there and done a mic drop! 😂

[@JohnT2088]

Is it expensive considering time and the cost of it? If not why not just buy a new one 😂

[@OnePackWanderers]

Well this particular chord, in classic Apple fashion, costs $59. The cost of retrieving it was $12. That being said, we spent a big chunk of the previous afternoon & evening searching for a replacement chord and couldn’t find one anywhere in Gyeongju. Apple introduced this specific chord a little less than a year ago, so I guess the aftermarket hasn’t fully caught up yet, at least in Korea 🤷🏼‍♂️
