Good post

[@yourkoreanpodcast]

As a Korean teacher, I am very happy that influencers like you are creating Korean travel content for foreigners!

[@vickieshubat899]

Very helpful information. I started planning my trip to South Korea two years before I went. I studied everything! My daughters and I had so much fun! No problems at all! You just need to prepare and join travel sights! That’s how I discovered you Dan!

[@andreabolding5281]

How awesome. Did you learn any language?

[@vickieshubat899]

I learned a few words, but I don’t remember having any communication issues.

[@aerie6191]

What sites did you use?

[@vickieshubat899]

Planning again in a couple of years.😊

[@paulaboschen6426]

Thanks. This was so helpful and you gave tips that we don’t often get. A friend was touring Seoul and a man approached her and wanted to marry her. Since she is already married she laughed at it but now I wonder if it was a cult. Good to be aware while we enjoy your beautiful country.

[@ThizisDanny]

either cult or someone really CRAZY

[@aansarigirl33]

How old are you

A joke 😂

[@Marieharmonymusic]

Your videos on „How to…“ in Korea are always enjoyable, very useful, and just fun to watch! Thank you for making them, Danny! 👏🙏😊 Love your hoodie and your smiles extra in this one. 🥰 Your Aura does stand out, that`s just who you are and how it is, just stating facts. 😉😁 I personally find it great that stores in Korea are open until very late, especially the 24h ones. Did I get it right that there are enough stores open 24h?😅 Because here in Austria you`re practically screwed from a certain hour on, weekdays mostly around 8pm, Saturdays even earlier around 6pm AND also Sundays closed all day. 😂

[@ThizisDanny]

yes in Korea there are so many 24 shops! you will not starve ( if you are in the city) no matter which time it is!!

[@RK-yz6gm]

This is the first useful video I watched about Korea. Thanks a million!

[@potato6658]

This is really great Dan, thanks!! I especially loved the late night snack video 😁 what a great tip. Plus i think it’s nice stores do that to save foods instead of just throwing them away. Also it’s nice if maybe you’re on a budget whether a resident or a tourist you could benefit from that. The money card that was also very useful as a person who has travelled its good to know these things. When we travelled to England, France and Italy we bought a Euro Pass for the train it saved us a lot. And i believe England had something for their underground, I’m thinking most places you can buy passes for transportation. If I’m ever fortunate enough to travel to Korea i will watch this again as well as your other video because you had other information in that one. Thanks great video. Not sure where you’re travelling next but i look forward to it 😁. Have a great day or evening time zones are not my specialty.

[@leejamiemellor]

Greatest experience of my life in seoul, wonderful friendly people, offered a job and place to live so currently back in the uk preparing to take all my stuff back to start a fresh there 😊

We are going to Korea in May 2024 and we are very thankful for your tips! I'll keep them in mind. We wish you a very happy and succesful year!

This video is going to be so helpful when I go Korea next year. Thank you. Awesome video. Love it.

[@Krystal109]

Always helpful... 1. I didn't know where to get a T Money until after I took a cab to the hotel from the airport... but with luggage it was probably best to take a taxi anyway. I bought mine at the convience store right next to my hotel and the employee was really nice about it and even made sure I added money to it right there at the shop. I still have my T Money card in my wallet since it has probably like $20 on it. 2. Regular taxis are already really nice... don't pay for the more expensive ones. Also, some places are hard to get a taxi at late hours, so if you're planning on leaving a place late make sure it's within walking distance to the train station or your hotel JUST IN CASE. 3. Didn't use a VPN, but that's mostly because I wasn't using my computer much... but it's definitely a good thing especially if you're doing business in another country. 4. That's crazy... didn't know this was a thing. Luckily, Danny's wine bar let me in even tho I was alone. 5. Can confirm that trash cans are rare unless you're in an area specifically designed around tourism. 9. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS! You were keeping this all to yourself.... rude!

sorry about 9… had to make sure there are things left for me so I don’t share it 😂

@@liaahgase4583 It's probably the same for some US places, but I know they will throw everything out at the end of the day and that's insanely wasteful.

I’m glad KZbin suggested this video. I’m about to go to Korea in a few days.

[@jaitorre4298]

I’m planning to visit Korea on January 2025 before the semester starts, I needed a reset so I can catch a breath. My OG plan was to go back from my home country but I was like “why not try a different country instead.” So I choose SK. Omg I’m gonna travel alone~ kinda scary but at the same time kinda excited.

[@lia1340]

You look really clean and honest, I really like that Thank you for the video!

Thanks Danny! You're always entertaining and informative. Keep working hard. Hope to visit someday.

Another great video by Danny! Thanks. A fan from Canada!

[@etnie]

This is so helpful. Just found your channel. I will be in Seoul by myself in late March/April for the first time so any info is welcome. I work full time and been busy so I haven't even had time to study the language. Tips like this make me feel more confident.

[@daveg9474]

I really appreciated for your tips especially for women Solo trip and the first time going to Korea

[@lusyrustam3252]

Thx a lot…so helpful…Talking about tips number 9 and 10, I think it’s similar to those in Japan…I mean, while traveling to Japan, I went to the big supermarkets there, such as Ito Yokado, Takashimaya, Sogo, they would give us certain discounts on Deli sections on certain time at night. N also, the Daiso thing, yeah, that’s one of my favorite shops while visiting Japan…so cheap n convenient…even here in Indonesia, where I’m living, I used to go to Daiso, too. N next to Daiso, there’s always Japanese grocery store called Papaya, that also gives certain discounts on Deli section at certain time at night…hmm, so interesting…new things to learn, I guess…

[@autumnroberts8208]

Thank you for this video. I am beginning to prepare for a future trip to Korea. This is extremely helpful for a first time traveler. ❤

[@dasboot2078]

Thank you very much I have been there last year but it was still very interesting and I will come back.

[@riaconradt2554]

Luckily when I went to Seoul, all of the restaurants I went to did allow me to dine alone. I absolutely do not know anyone in Seoul so it would have been a problem otherwise. Although I guess in Seoul there are so many restaurants and finding another restaurant will not be a problem. I also used Naver Map and it really was good especially for finding out which train or bus to use from point A to B. But its usage is a bit difficult if one doesn‘t know any Korean. I fortunately know some Korean so it was okay. The supermarket tip will be helpful when I go visit Korea again! Cheers!

[@BobaTravels777]

Yay so excited! I'm coming to Seoul in February

In Korea, optical shops are very affordable, fast, and accurate. Even without any preparation, you can purchase eyeglasses that you love in every aspect at a very reasonable price within 20 minutes by simply going to an optical shop. And it's also a good idea to do a little research in advance about dental or medical treatments. Dental clinics and hospitals in Korea are known for being both affordable and highly skilled.

[@fifa0591]

Thank you so much for your well round off information. You are very generous with the wealth of info. Visiting Korea is on my bucket list (I hope soon). I love in Puerto Rico, come and visit, and I will share with you tips.😊😊

Great tips. I would recommend getting a Wow card. Kind of like the T-money, but more like prepaid Korean debit card. You can pay for shopping and taxi. But still carry Korean Won since street vendors and most local markets only accept cash. The subway and bus system are excellent which can take you anywhere in Seoul. Taxis are relatively cheap compared to the US and is a preferred option to avoid a lot of walking.
