Why You Should Get Out Of Seoul 🇰🇷

We've got ourselves out of megacity Seoul and today we're in Sokcho on South Korea's Northeast coast.
We spent the morning in the abai village which was a north Korean refugee village back in the day, here we had some heavenly naengmyeon cold noodles with dried raw gochujang pollock.
Then we checked out the beautiful beach here in the city which was actually really nice before going to eat the famous Sokcho squid soondae. We went to a little place outside the market that makes everything fresh and she even gave us a pumpkin sikhye as a gift.
The rest of the day was spent eating more delicious Korean street food in Sokcho market before heading to another little food spot for some freshly fried shrimp gimbap and some tofu stew! Yeah we flipping love Korean food.
Sokcho is a beautiful little city you've got mountains, coast, good food and people what's not to love 🇰🇷

    Where should we go next time we're in Korea?! 🇰🇷 Sadly this was our last day in the country! It's only been a short trip but we'll definitely come back, our time in Korea has been flipping quality! The landscapes are well nice, the food is heavenly and Koreans are our type of people. Cheers for watching 🙏

    한국인은 예전부터 사람의 몸과 자연은 같다는 생각을 음식에 적용했습니다. 그래서 그 지역에서 나는 음식 재료를 4계절에 따라 맞게 먹어야 건강하다는 생각을 했죠. 속초는 강원도 항구로 오늘 나온 명태,메밀,오징어,감자가 가장 많이 나오고 유명한 특산물입니다. 한국 여행은 먹기 위해 다닌다는 말이 나올 정도로 지역마다 색다른 음식이 존재합니다. 바닷가라도 동해,서해,남해 해산물 음식이 차이가 있고, 내륙도 지역마다 차이가 있고, 계절따라 먹는 음식이 또 달라집니다. 한마디로 한국인은 음식이 건강을 좌우한다고 믿어왔던, 음식에 진심과 정성을 쏟아왔던 사람들입니다.

    I am South korean. Sokcho is close to North Korea. And there are cruises to Vladivostok in Russia even though there is war. If North Korea's roads were opened. You can drive to London by car, but because there is a ceasefire, the roads are blocked by enemies. It is currently an actual island, but once the blocked road is opened, it will become a true Korean Peninsula.

    The most common version of hotteok is made with brown sugar, but personally I prefer the one with red bean (which my Mom made for me growing up). It is so endearing how you two describe food as "comforting". This makes me realize how different expressions (not just the accent) in Northern England are from say London area. I love how you two seek places off the beaten path and don't follow the crowds.
