    There's no way I pronounced all of that correctly but it was worth a shot! Hope you liked the video!

    definitely pronounced just about everything wrong :P not being rude, but it was the stereotypical "white-person-accent" type of wrong; w/ all the stresses on the wrong letters. for example, Namsan @4:20 was driving me crazy. it sounds like this: translate.google.com/#ko/en/남산 (click the speaker button under the Korean to hear the pronunciation) but at least you tried & the video was good. reminded me of my trips to Korea, so thanks !!!

    yeah, the way you pronounced some things drove me nuts lol! I would suggest next time using a translator. (i.e. type it out in google using the native alphabet then using the speaker icon on the native alphabet. you should get a better pronunciation.) overall this was a good video and I enjoyed it.

    Korean isn’t tonal or too hard to pronounce, but worth asking someone next time. “eo” romanized is more like a short “u” or “uh” (the first syllable of Seoul).

    Great video! When in Seoul I also recommend taking a train to the Suwon (수원) just to the south of Seoul. The fortress is very beautiful. You can take a long walk on the old wall. Very nice. In Seoul itself I recommend every temple because of the green there. A good break from all the concrete and smog of the city. I loved the National Museum of Korea. I really miss Seoul..

    The most touching and impressive thing to me is the sculpture 6:21 in the war museum. Korea was one country.Those 2 soilders are brothers.The war broke out.They were separated by the borderline and lived in the North Korea and the South Korea without being able to see each other for a long time. On the warfield,they "accidentally" met and recognized each other.The older brother was supporting the younger brother with his arms. On the sculpture,you can see they are hugging each other wearing different style of army uniforms.

    Though never been to Soel, I have been to Osan. Though very much smaller, you really get a feel for traditional Korea. Though not nearly as many fish markets, the Street vendors (seafood) is Awesome. And the further you get from the military base, the more traditional it gets. Always looked forward in going there when I was in the service.

    Don’t be fooled by tourist tricks and gimmicks and fake Asian culture. There are many places to go in Asia so you want to find the place that gives you the best experience for your money and the safest travel. Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia are good choices.
