Spending $1000 in 24 Hours: Conrad Luxury Hotel 🇰🇷

■ Seoul, South Korea: Le'Escape Hotel Seoul, where I spent my first night in the country was excellent. But I still felt jet-lagged the next morning and not at all ready to go sightseeing around Seoul. I needed another night to revel in five star luxury to recover from my flight.
Preferably somewhere with several restaurants, a gym and a swimming pool.
A quick search on Booking.com lead me to Conrad Hotel, a five star sky-rise hotel owned by the Hilton group. The price was high but it is what it is. Luxury is never cheap so I decided to go for it. My goal for the day was to spend over $1000 USD on living life to the fullest.
To make the day more interesting I decided to take the metro to the hotel. That proved easier said than done....

One of the reasons why I like Harald`s videos is that he shows you luxury and sleeps in the best hotels and has gourmet meals but at the same time, he is not afraid to sleep in some mud hut in Tanzania or in a room in the mountains of Nepal. Thanks Harald.

I love those $6 hotel rooms in India... all day baby!

I like how Harald checks out of one luxury hotel, only to check into another luxury hotel, and then makes a video about a luxury hotel. There's a theme here.

[@Whmst]

i think the theme is luxury hotels but im not really sure

[@fatreality]

He does this specifically for the purpose of contrasting it with another luxury hotel

[@juliegoldman6778]

He has to even it out with a $20 / night hovel

[@trouterman420]

i think the theme is gongo hunt

[@thetony5474]

The coin drop caught me off guard so when the first one happened I was looking around my room 😂😂😂

Thank you for finally doing this Harald! Korea holds a special place in so many hearts. The most incredible experiences in my life have been living and loving in this place. I cant wait to see you venture out further.

[@HIGHRISH420]

It cracks me up that Harald can navigate remote mountains and villages at the edge of nowhere like it's nothing, but put him in a major city and he's lost lol.

More Korea videos please 🙏 There’s so much to experience there!

[@ej9k]

I don’t know why but I never pictured you’d visit Seoul as you visit more adventure-challenged places. Welcome to Seoul! Welcome to South Korea! It's pretty interesting to watch this trip as I've been watching your videos since 2018, as I'm a local here in Korea. Your perspectives on this trip are pretty interesting to me. Enjoy what plan you have for the rest of your time here. Let me know if you need any local help. Btw your Korean HANWOO steak reminds me of Mr. NOODLES!! Who you've hung out with in Bangkok Korean Town. Have fun, Harald!! Keep proving!! 👍🏻😎

I also can't afford this type of luxury hotel but thanks to you Harald at least we can experience it through your video. It feels like we are exploring the hotel along with you. We can clearly see you were struggling with jet lag but still you made the vlog. I appreciate the effort you put in the videos Harald. Waiting for Gongo hunt in Korea by the greatest Gongo hunter.

FYI the google map does not work efficient in s. Korea better to use naver map or Kakao map.

I'm glad you had Hanwoo. It's much better than wagyu and Kobe. Kobe is toooo fatty after a few bites you get sick. Hanwoo has the PERFECT marbling you can enjoy a full steak or two. THE best beef flavour and super tender. I'm so happy you are traveling in & showing how Korea is 😊

It's crazy how modern and sophisticated that county is, but just a few hundred miles north of you lies a completely different atmosphere. And they're basically the same thing, just different governments. Wild dynamics between those two countries that used to be one.

I lived in S Korea back in 1980 and I fell in love with the people and country. I too was very surprised how brutally cold Korea can get. I lived in the last village near the DMZ. It was a 2 hour bus ride south for me to get to Seoul,which was maybe once a month. Enjoy I would love to return , It was the worst jetlag I had ever experienced traveling to Korea . I will keep watching

[@cladglas]

"the last village near the DMZ"? that could be anywhere between munsan to daejin on the east coast.

[@lmcwill0502]

Just north of Munson , I wish I could remember the name of the village . I actually worked on a military base in Munson and took a bus north to my village . My husband was the 1st Sgt on the DMZ , JSA Joint Security Force . Back in early 80s there were many protests by the young S Koreans wanting the American troops out of their country , the older S Koreans were not in agreement. We loved Korea and even considered staying another year . All men assigned to JSA had to be 6 ft or more to be assigned there and have a perfect military record . During the year 1980-81 we were on lock down due to ongoing problems from N Korea and their threats

I spent 13 months in South Korea with the U.S. Army back in 1970. We were stationed at a very small compound next to the Yellow Sea in the southwest corner of the country. Very isolated area back then, surrounded by rice paddies, hills and the sea. The villagers and farmers were very friendly and would always invite you into their thatched roof, dirt floor houches and offer you what little they had to eat or drink. Drinked a lot of Korean wine and their homemade version of saki but stayed away from the kimchi.
