I'm equally confused about how those laundry sticks work. But I have an ingenious, foolproof strategy when it comes to the toilets: just unplug the damn things. Seriously, that's what I always do in Japan. They don't need electricity to flush and that's all that matters. I don't want flashing lights, beeping noises and spurts of water shooting who knows where. Just flush. Then I courteously plug it back in for the next person who is presumably more sophisticated than me and will make use of a high tech toilet. But when it comes to certain things, sometimes simpler is best. I don't know whose body that is at 26:16, but I'll take it, and the gold chains.

Harold should come to TORONTO once…

As a Finnish person I found this sauna configuration quite intriguing! They have traditionally hot water flowing underneath the main floor structure whereas in Finland, the Sauna mecca of the Globe, we have one distinct sauna stove where all the heat emerges from. Many different methods work for sure, I'd love to try some of these different styles. Mayan style in Mexico also interests me a lot, perhaps should give it a try there! Anyways a great vid once again. Keep them coming!

Asia content is usually always good, but often very mainstream. This Korea series took me by surprise, and I hope there is more to come.

Video time 23:25 The wooden contraption is the mill. A person or persons would press down the double Y ends to raise the single post on the opposite end and let it drop to bash the nuts, grains, etc. Sae Jong king who created the Korean alphabet (Hangul) was completed in 1443 and published in 1446 along with a 33-page manual titled Hunminjeongeum, explaining what the letters are as well as the philosophical theories and motives behind them. The manual purported that anyone could learn the alphabet in a matter of days. People previously unfamiliar with it can typically pronounce Korean words accurately after only a few hours of study. This meant even peasants could read and write Hangul.

I am Korean. Even until few dacades ago, our mothers often using the tool when smoothing the surface of cotton sheets instead of ironing. It is called Dadumi, it consists 2 wooden round bats and one flat under stone. They fold the damp sheets in multi layers and beat them with bats like drum stick, corner to corner multi thousands times and it gives the sheets flat and shiny texture. I think it also released mothers' stress.

Hi Harold, we enjoy you, showing us new cultures and respecting people as always❤❤

Korea indeed has many nice traditional buildings. Love how they have blended some modern amenities with traditional buildings. Keep bringing contents like this watching from 🇳🇵

This place is INCREDIBLE! Very BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I LOVE to see places unlike the usual! GREAT WORK!!!!

Spent 7 years total stationed in Korea. First in 1986, and was sent temp duty by the DMZ and where we stayed you had to go outside to a hole in the ground for a toilet!!! Fast forward to 2000 and they are inside bidets😂 All the floors in the house are heated with a water heater electric but before it was a coal type and many died from carbon monoxide. I can honestly say the people, food, and country are amazing!

Harald, I highly recommend reading into Hangul's history (Korean characters). Its the newest writing system in the world! It was commissioned by a king many hundreds of years ago (I forget exactly perhaps 1400?) Anyways, it was actually banned for hundreds of years due to it being TOO easy to learn (peasants were learning to read = bad). It was not until the Korean war in the 20th century that Hangul was made legal and became the standard for Korean writing.

Love watching these Korean videos, as my youngest sister is teaching English over there. This is the closest I'm going to get to seeing her side of the world 😢❤

About the laundry sticks, actually they were used for ironing: Dadeumi (Korean: 다듬이) is a Korean traditional ironing method where two women knelt on the floor, facing each other across a smoothing stone, beating out a rhythm on the cloth to press out its wrinkles and soften it.

Harold .. I love your travel video's and as I could never afford to travel to such awsome places. I get to experience them through your channel.. But I'd like to request a series from your home country. Someday I really want to visit Norway. I think many subscribers would like to have a tour from the northman himself of his home land. Thank you so much for sharing your travels..... Cruz ... from Albuquerque New Mexico 😊😊...

Brilliant video again, Harald. Best wishes from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

As Korean who lives in Australia for more than 10 years, your video is super helpful for my home sick! Hopefully, I can visit Korea this year. Thank you so much for fantastic video and please have a great trip!

These videos deserve way more views.

If you want to see how the commoners life's like, i recommend you to visit Nagan-eupseong(folk village), if you're still in Korea :)

Harold, you took the important points of Korean architecture and culture and explained. Your video is very interesting and makes me to wait for next one.

im 6 min in northman and ur host is amazing!!!!! top notch mate

Love your tour in Korea mate. Always great to see dfferent parts of the world with your take on things.

These videos have been my favorite to watch over the years thank you Mr. Harold. Especially the last video

I googled it and it looks like Korean writing system came in the 16th century! That place is very old and amazing. Loving this Haraldo! I hope you stay in Korea for a while - there are so many places of interest

Super cool place to stay. Amazing historical house.

Your vlogs r amazing keep up the good work 👍u deserve 4 million subs

Amazing production by Haraldo! 👏

Another great video , Harald. Such a beautiful and interesting place you are staying at. Looking forward to the next video. Happy New Year !🎉🎉🎉

Wow! An incredible video Harald! I enjoyed watching!

Wow, once you went wandering in the colosseum looking area it was so beautiful there, their traditional wear is so nice and their middle class home was cool, so lavish to me. We even got Gabriel Highroller traveler mode, stellar!!

I really enjoyed this video. Old architecture and construction techniques are so fascinating to me.

Harold what are you doing ? We want at least 2 or 3 videos every week ! Dont forget that a lot of people ar waiting for your videos and it helps them make their weeks (like me :)) Hope you are doing fine !

Great King Se-Jong invented Korean alphabet in 1443. He is the guy printed on the 10,000 Won Korean bill

Way to cool, love when you take us to old structures and bulidings and explain their history, you seems super passionate about it which makes it more motivating to learn.

Harold strikes again!!! long time viewer here loving the recent uploads Harold, MUCHO IMPRESSO😂

22:33 you said they might have had the local Gongo brewing operation hahaha 🤣 had me dying

the north man never fails to bring top quality vids

Such a cool hotel, imagine thrs fish in the pond so relaxing

That looks like a very peaceful spot to sleep. I'm willing to bet. All those buildings were put together with wooden joinery that has no nails, screws or bolts. Just simple and more complex joints. Very nice.

Great Video Harold ...Love your Aussie term for the toilet, the dunny!

I asked for our morning meeting to be delayed for a half hour as I have an important issue regarding housing to attend to. The VP decided to completely cancel it for today! 😅 Turning out to be a pretty good freezing Friday here in N.Y. Thank you Harald ❤

Is it really a Harald Bardr video without the classic phrase “Hold on, are we filming..” 😂

Beautifull ancient Korean house...nice feeling of the ancient culture and wisdom. Thank you fir this beautifull great video.🙏❤ love it

I just love east asia japan and south korea. The combination of harald and south korea i love it eventhough maybe most people love to see you in other countries 👍

The sticks that were used as cleaning clothes, also included wet clothes with detergent. Then they beat the dirt out of the fibers. I think this would wear out clothes pretty quick. Yes and Harold looks very well groomed as always and it is really nice to see him dressed in business like clothes. What a handsome man! Thank for another interesting video. I love watching other cultures in their living conditions, markets, food, housing etc.

Harald is the Best Vlogger on Earth.

lmao your response to the toilet was funny lol

Harald is starting to remind me of Dae-Su, from very famous twisted Korean revenge movie "The Old Boy". Dae-Su is released from a 15 year confinement and immediately goes to eat at a sushi bar in a very famous scene where he asks to be given "something live" and proceeds to eat a total intact and alive octopus. He walks around in black clothes with sunglasses just like Harald . Movie is highly recommended (available on worlds major video on demand streaming service) !

Never letting us down, except when you don't post for long periods of times.

My airplane from Amsterdamto Tokyo had a brief stop at Incheon when i traveleded to Japan this summer. Spending a few hours in the brand new terminal building there made me want to leave the airport and explore Korea so badly. Watching this fellow norwegian exploring South Korea makes me want to visit the country even more.

Harald the Viking walks into an Ancient Asian village and assumes every tool is a weapon !!! 🤣😂 Love the show !! Thank you for sharing bro!!

4:40 in the past the korean language didn't have it's own writing system so they used chinese characters to write korean. Only aristocrats and scholars knew how to write using them. Then King Sejong created a simpler writing system and better adapted for the korean language 'Hangul', thanks to that common people very quickly learned how to write and read korean. In modern times koreans cannot read and do not know chinese characters anymore.

Beautiful Beautiful location❤❤❤

Harold, when you greet anyone in Korea (Japan and China), it is courtesy to do a short bow to people you meet. You also bow when you say goodbye and thank you. It is considered very rude if you especially don't do that to your elders (people who are older than you).

love the sound track.... EPIC.

Happy birthday Haraldo!

A fellow knight of Rati Devi still calling the toilet a 'dunny.' My man. South Korea done right. Excellent editing. Thanks Heraldo. 2024 is looking mucho approvo. From your #1 Australian fan. That beer looks almost as good as a Kelly.

Wow! The outside of the house looks beautiful!

nice one this korea series, korean is always a trend here in the philippines.

A new haraldo video is the best possible way to start your day 🙌

Great vlog. Thanks sharing the Korean old culture living. It was enlightening. Be well mate.

Never change Haraldo! This video was a crack up 😂
