Wow!! Good for you! We have been to Vietnam twice and still have never been to Ho Chi Minh... after you explore let us know which parts you liked best!! Thanks for watching

Just few days ago the Korean government ordered officials to find ways on send masks and covid-19 test kits to the countries that helped us during the Korean War. We still have not forgotten the help we received, and we will not forget.

Wow. This really speaks to the level of gratitude Koreans have for their allies. Great info. Thanks for sharing

The reason that the buildings of the palace built one step above ground is because of the Korean weather. In summer of Korea, It rains so hard and soften the ground. So many traditional 'novel' Korean buildings were built upon the footstones.

the end of the roofs on the Korean traditional buildings are slightly curved because this allows the sun to keep the wooden beams underneath dry. Otherwise they would have rotten and not survive the amount of time that they did. No metal nails are used to keep the roof together either. It's quite fascinating if you know a little about Korean architecture.

I love Gyeongbokgung Palace❤️

Ive been watching a few of ur videos, its so nice to see how considerate you are for the residents at Bukchon village. As a korean living in the west, i get excited when visiting traditional places in korea but i know we need to b respectful to those residents who are suffering from noise pollution. Thank you for ur consideration and kind hearts!

We were sort of thrown off by the people in Bukchon village. Tourists who were not following the rules... despite the fact there were signs everywhere! Ah, what can you do. Thanks for watching!

Thanks

A minor correction on the year of liberation from Japan is 1945, not 1948. S.K. gained its independence immediately after the surrender of imperial Japan in August 1945. Two separate governments, North and South Korea were established in 1948,

You guys did a lot in Korea

I am not good at English, so I am writing comments using a translator. Thank you to our ancestors who sacrificed their lives and sacrificed a lot for Korea's independence from Japan. If they had not become independent, the current k-pop, k-drama, and k-movie would have been known to the world as j-pop, j-drama, and j-movie, and the efforts of Koreans would not have been recognized and always lived discriminated against by the Japanese. I have many Japanese friends now, and I can forgive the past of the war, but I can never forgive Japan for teaching history to students without properly admitting that it has never slaughtered countless Koreans and Chinese.

I hope you guys come here again in Summer and fall. It would be fantastic with much nice weather.

I hope so too! We really loved Korea. We hope to be back in our travels.

Westerners may be difficult to distinguish, but in Korea, China, and Japan, there are subtle differences in color and shape in classical structures.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!!

Wow, knowing more about the war in Korea is amazing. Very informative guys. Keep it up

22:52 Correction, all Japan "did" in the Korean War was send *American soldiers* from the American GHQ ruling Japan at the time until 1952. Which actually was American orders, not Japan. Japan is not among the 16 UN Peacekeeping Coalition that sent troops to participate in the war. Japan is not even among the nations that sent medical assistance like Sweden. Japan still today tries to make the GHQ look like it is a cruel administrative body ruling Japan, and claim that the Japanese government, only existed in name only and was powerless back then and cannot be held responsible for various under American GHQ's rule like postwar inflation which Japan caused themselves by invading 12+ nations, all without declaration of war. If so, Japan can't simultaneously take credit for Americans sending American troops stationed in Japan to Korea. It's like, the Japanese government taking over and starving 2 million Vietnamese to death in WW2 (taking food from Vietnam to use in their huge invasion in China) is not the responsibility of the current ruling government of Vietnam, just because they rule the same piece of land. The current Japanese government can't take credit for the American GHQ's deeds even if they ruled the same land. That's as preposterous as the People's Republic of China currently claiming it is exempt from all international debts incurred during the last Qing dynasty, yet simultaneously claiming rights to all territories belong to Qing is China's by history and by right (they do this because they want to take the South China Sea and all the islands there away from Philippines/Vietnam/Indonesia).

*What Japan DID do was make big money off of Americans going to the war in Korea. Even the rare Progressive Japanese people acknowledge this.* (It's strange how progressive people in Japan are seniors who remember how terrible fascist Japan was really like, and right-wing neo-fasicsts are middle-aged and younger looking to reinstate "the good old days.") For 1945-46, Japan was making huge money by conscripting Japanese women in an organization called the *Special Comfort Facility Association,* and offered the women to the GHQ American troops, not forgetting to demonize the Americans with the excuse that this is all for "the safety of Japanese civilians who may get raped and assaulted by American troops." (Japan earned 150 million USD from taking the money meant for the serviced women and leaving them next to nothing, which was enough to account 6% of their GNP, consider the normal growth rate for a nation is +3% GNP per year. GNP was used instead of GDP back then). The thing was exposed when Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the late FDR, found out about this in 1946 and shut it down, and Japan had to look for other sources of income. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, the then-prime minister Shigeru Yoshida said, これぞ天佑！コレを足掛かりにして日本経済を立て直せる！ *"This is a heaven-sent opportunity! This war can be used as a footstool to lift up the Japanese economy!" * Japan became a good close spot for R&R and war-tourism for the UN Troops rotating in and out of the Korean peninsula, and lots of factories used American money to expand and produce and sell consumables for the troops of 16 UN nations. So the civilian sector flourished with an inundation of expensive dollars. (The GHQ rule of Japan ended in midwar, in 1952, and Yoshida was still PM of Japan with full powers now) And in 1953 when the Korean War was coming to an end, he actually opened up meetings to discuss *if there is anything JAPAN CAN DO TO PROLONG THE KOREAN WAR FOR JAPAN'S PROFIT.* *Actually, America actually even asked Japan to rewrite their Constitution to rearm themselves with a military and participate in the Korean War, but Yoshida refused, saying Japanese participation in the war would devastate the Japanese economy.* So really, they had no excuse, and even sent troops to takeover what is now known as Tsushima and did not return that island that was closer to Korea, even at the dozens of public requests from Korea's first president.

25:20 almost cry at this part. Fight for freedom never really thought about it. respect to all the veterans.

Bukchon used to be where all the big houses were for the noblemen. The hanok village you see there now is a 1930s version of more clustered or moderate versions for the average people.

Thank you for visiting South Korea. And your blog gave other people very helpful information. THX

hi, the statue with the kids it is a game wee have it in Romania to! Free translation it is a stockpile. you should see the Farmland and experience the cuisine they have interesting stuff

14:12 You can find kids' game like that around the world. uzun eşek in Turkey, chekharda in Slavic nations, and Caballito de bronce in Iberia. Also bockspringen in German is similar, and somewhere else you can find other examples.

Very nice. Just one comment though. I think you did a great job at trying to get people to really know how important it is to visit places like the War Memorial Museum in Seoul. This is just a personal thing for me. I wouldn't comment about at the entrance and looking out at pointing out "some kind of monument". I think you really diminish the point. I had so little knowledge of the Korean war....but I learned so much from there. Especially about how the museum was actually designed.....including the purpose of the "some kind of monument", how the flags are displayed the way they are. Please, I'm not trying to be negative, but your video skills are really good, and you show a great deal....I just hate for it to be lessened by some dialog. OK. Off my soap box. I do still thank you for sharing this. You brought back a great day I had spent there.

You're right. It's well said. We can work on that in future videos. We obviously didn't mean any disrespect. Thanks for commenting.

If you were in Gwanghwamun square before going to the palace, you should've gone underground for interesting exhibitions for King Sejong (the king who made the Korean alphabet) and Admiral Yi Sunsin (who sucessfuly fought against the Japanese in the late 1500s). You should visit next time. They're free

14:00 that is so funny..haha guess you know what tha is now

The reason why the roofs are curved that shape is, to dry moisture by sunlight! You can see the different angles from other countries that have different latitude

Korea is just a victim of the war between the two ideologies, and was not given a discretion to be on which sides. World should help reunify SK to make up for all the harms that were done to the peninsula.
