Thanks! We have to come visit Singapore as well
I love Insadong, too :) to me, it's a lot more interesting cos it does have the history and was the area for cultural arts and crafts and things like that long before tourists discovered it. so while I'm well aware that you pay a tourist tax these days, the place does have merit, and like you said and showed, there are also so many independent artists(?) here, so I don't mind it so much. also I love garlic so that bossam place looked great! :D

Very true! It’s a popular tourist spot but it’s not a “tourist trap” like some places in Korea.

I went there and at Ikseon-dong just this May 6. It was raining. It was a very cold day. All the coffee shops were packed. It was also kinda hot and stuffy inside. I think the aircons were turned off. I only got to buy the yummy Salt Bread and some Kkul-tarae to bring to my home country for friends and relatives. Oh no, I wish I saw the personalized stamp pads. That would have been a great souvenir. I missed it. 😢

Funny, my girlfriend and I did almost the same tour there three weeks ago. Very nice area and things to buy but EVERYTHING is way over-priced.

Haha awesome! It’s prices can be high in a lot of the shops because they’re mostly small businesses but there so much fun things to do and there’s still great deals to find
Another neighborhood to add to my Korea travel itinerary! Are there any alternatives to the T-Money Card? If not, can it be loaded with a credit or debit card? I heard that cash is the only option, but wanted to confirm
@TravelWithNala

Yeah it’s cash only. There’s a new thing called creatrip I would look that up but I think that’s also cash only.
Hey David and Kim..what about solo travellers..or say a couple where one person is veg and thenother is non veg...do the restaurants allow solo eating? I'm specifically asking about BBQ...cz my partner won't have non veg will he be allowed to sit?

Most kkbw restaurants have a “1 person 1 menu” rule so if you have 2 ppl you need to order 2 portions of meat. A lot also have a minimum order of 2 per table so if you sit alone you still have to order 2 portions. This is mostly for kbbq places that use charcoal. Ones with gas grills usually have looser rules
I really enjoyed your video. What hotel are you staying? Which area are you staying?

We’re actually living in Seoul for an extended period. We go through several airbnbs in our early vlogs but now we rented a house and have been here for over 6 months
According to wiki '' Dragon's beard candy was initially created in China, but soon spread in popularity in other parts of East Asia and South East Asia, becoming a regional delicacy in South Korea in the 1990s, and Singapore in the 1980s, as well as more recently in Canada, and the United States.''

Apparently It's like cotton candy as it melts in mouth but still different in other ways. Cotton candy spun sugar, but it says dragons beard has, starch =corn starch I wonder if tapioca flour could work it is starch.

26 mins in. Odd question, but how much is it customary to tip street performers? What would be too little, too much
@TravelWithNala
10 күн бұрын
There’s no customary amount. Most people put in coins are 1k won notes. Minimum wage in Seoul is about 9k won and a lot of people, especially elderly people, make way less than that so I’m sure any amount is appreciated.
How far is insa dong from myeongdong?
