The number of times I said "incredible" in this vlog 😂😂 SK was really amazing. Can't wait to go back. A very different experience compared to China (easier to navigate).

Looking back we honestly shouldn’t have stayed that long. They really suck 😔😔
Listen! I live in Korea and the ppl do generally speak more English than in China. I always say that I love that I can live here knowing very little to no Korean at all and still thrive. I really enjoyed your vlog! It exposed me to places I didn’t even know of 😅🙏🏾. I’m so saddened by your experience at the Braai Republic. There’s another one in Pyeontaek and their service wasn’t as bad but it wasn’t that great either.
Welcome Back Emily!🌹 I look forward to your travel vlog!⭐️ “Psalm 46:5” , “Proverbs 31:25-26” May GOD continue to bless you!🕊️ You’re in my prayers!☺️🙏🏽🙌🏽 ⭐️(5 Star Content Creator!)⭐️

Thank you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Honestly having lived in both countries Koreans are definitely kinder and non prejudice and can communicate in English better but China is more nice in terms of efficiency and over all aesthetics not to mention cheaper!! Korea is so expensive 😩
amazing vlog🧡🧡🧡

This was really helpful. I work for an International Korean school in China and therefore see the need to go visit Korean. Thank you Bitso ❤❤❤❤. I’m definitely going there this year. 🎉🎉 Side note: we miss your consistency on the channel. Stop abandoning us for too long.

i felt SICK in my stomach that I had to pay R20 for a sim swap last month. R400+ would take me right off the edge 😫

Braai Republic was also a disappointing experience. Especially because I had been living in Korea for long the food wasn’t really South African tasting. It was packed by Koreans because I guess they don’t know how the food is supposed to taste like. Just buy biltong there and bounce.

True. It seemed like they had no idea what they were doing. Truly disappointing
