지하철역에서 할머니 도와주시고 진짜 친절하신 외국인이세요^^ 진짜 착하시다

부족하면 더 갖다드릴께요 라고 말했네요~ 보통 수도권은 반찬이 셀프코너로 되어있어서 편하게 가져다가 드실수가 있습니다~  근데 추가반찬은 셀프라고 스티커에 적혀있네요. 그런데도 가져다 드린다고 한것은 친절한 행동이었네요.

광주에 와서 송정떡갈비  앗맛있게  먹고가네요 두부가 아니고 달걀찜입니다

당신들은 정말 착하고 멋있는 사람들이다
감사합니다 ^.^

21:05 It always feels good when we help others ❤️😁

You put too much rice in the lettuce (ssam) The ssam should be eaten at a time. Biting it in half doesn't deliver the mixture taste of the ssam. It should be mouthful.  Therefore, you should make it  bite-sized by reducing rice in it.

20:47 감사합니다~ 훌륭한 부부네요. 즐거운 여행하시길 바랍니다.

2:57 The woman said that if you want to have more Ban-Chan (side dishes) she would bring or refill more of it to you.
09:00 It is not a Tofu but steamed or boiled eggs after whipping added some salt and water.
09:42 It is a sort of sauce. Seemingly it looks like Doen-Jang (fermented) i.e. soybean paste. Mostly we eat Ssam-Jang when we eat Ssam with leaf vegetables.
12:08 We call it as "PPEONG-TWI-GI". It's one of popped corn or rice or wheat flour. The one shaped similar to macaroni is made with wheat flour.
Wow, you visited Gwang-Ju? It is my husband's hometown. As for your next destination, I recommend you to visit Bun-Dang or Il-San in Kyoung-Gi provence. It is a satellite city of Seoul so it is similar to and different from Seoul or rural area. It is well organized area and many apartments, trees and parks etc. 😊
While I am searching for infomation  about our upcoming trip, your channel has popped up suddenly. So I watched your several vlogs. Thanks for visiting my country. I have stayed in London only 3 months, it was amazingly pleasant moments. I hope you two have a good and unforgetable precious moments here in South Korea!

쌈은 한입에 입안을 꽉채워먹어야 제맛입니다! +_+

I am a NorK who has lived in the US for the past 50 years, but I was born in Seoul and have been back only twice in my life. It's quite interesting watching you two utterly naive to Korean culture people visiting K and exploring and experiencing the bizarreness that is Korea in real time.

마카로니과자입니다

와우 맛있게 잘드시네 반찬은 더달라면 줍니다 공짜 즐거운 여행하세요  덕분에 광주에 지하철있는것 처음 알았네 ^&^

Please don't bite off when you eat ssam(lettuce wrap).
You might not enjoy the balance or harmony of ssam taste.
Make an ssam like bite size, not like tacos or burritos size.
Most of Korean food such as kimbab or bibimbab has balance and harmony of ingridiants.

식당에서 종업원이 말씀하신거는 반찬 더 필요하면 더 갖다준다는 말씀이였어요^^

Let's look forward to all the happy times in Korea!

If you want to feel the local charm, not the tourist attraction, visit a new city around Seoul too.
New cities such as Bundang, Ilsan, Gwanggyo, and Dongtan are easy to get to from Seoul by subway and you can feel the local atmosphere.
Among them, I recommend Gwanggyo. If you get off at Gwanggyo Jungang Station on the Shinbundang Line (red), you can meet Gwanggyo with a beautiful lake.
The lake walk is good, and various shops and facilities around the lake are good. And the trail called Fox Road is really pretty.
If you visit Gwanggyo, I can recommend a place to visit.
I hope you have a happy time in Korea!!

Wow, it's cool that you chose Gwangju as your destination rather than Busan or Jeju, which are common destinations for foreigners.

Enjoying your content so far guys; you're very open-minded and positive. Keep it up. This is a simple Korean pronunciation tip that will help you more often than not. Brits (and Americans) love their vowels. They make love to their vowels; give them full body massages. Doing so adds syllables to many Korean (also Japanese words).
"How many syllables are in the words Tokyo and Kyoto?"
Brits/Americans - 3! "Toke-yee-yoh"; "Kee-yoh-tow"
Japanese/Koreans - 2! "Dok-yo"; "Gyo-ttdo"
"How about Myeongdong?"
Brits/Americans - 3 "Mee-yawng-dowung"
Japanese/Koreans - 2 "Myung-dong"
As opposed to enunciating each vowel, Korean words/syllables are sharp and distinct. Imagine an angry mother calling out to her disobedient child. "Jay! Come! Here!" (3)
"Myung! Dong!" (2)
"Gwang! Jang!" (2)
You get the idea.

Funnily enough, the opposite happens when certain English words are said with a Korean accent. Skateboard (2) becomes seu-kay-ee-teu-boh-deu (6.)

Also, I'm an American but speak the Seoul dialect. I've been told that people in Gwangju have the most distinct accent/dialect among all South Koreans that I would probably have trouble understanding them. Gwangju also has a tragic history (don't mean to ruin your vibes but google Gwangju 1980 after your travels end).

She meant Fork not pork. Tteokgalbi is only made with beef. We don't have the /ph/ sound in our phonetics system so ph is substituted by p sound.
