Welcome to a new video, guys.
Today we're gonna be learning english here in seoul, south korea.
Right now we are in hongdae.
This is our first day here.
We're gonna be here for about just after new year.
So if you guys are here, let me know now.
We're gonna go to that convenience store right there get some breakfast.
It's about 9 00 am.
I'm pretty hungry.
Please floor like.
That design smells like palette cleanser and a tune essential.
Scrub your bottle chocolate bar from dry street in that mountain.
We foam plan.
Okay, now i'm gonna open the door and go in to see you.
We're in an aisle right now.
Oh dude, actually these chocolates are really good.
Is that what you're gonna have for breakfast?
No, but I had them in Ecuador, but they only had this one, the Oreo one.
And it was like $3.50 USD.
So I feel like it's the same here.
It's $4,800.
This is pretty much $4.80 Canadian or $4,800 won.
And they have strawberry flavor.
Oh, that would be good.
Strawberry.
Oh yeah, and two plus one, that means in Korea you buy two and you get one free.
Is that one rice?
That crunchy?
This one?
Yeah.
It looks like it.
Spicy mola.
Actually, I wouldn't get this, but I don't like lays like this.
You would get it for breakfast.
I would get it to try eventually.
What about this one?
That's creme brulee flavor.
Oh my gosh, dude.
I want to try that.
That'd be fire.
I think it's like a corn puff.
Dude, Koreans have so many flavors of chips.
Like me personally, I don't think their chocolate bar selection is that good.
Like this is all they have for chocolate bars. right there.
I personally feel like they lack a lot, but their chip selection is very good.
I like like peanut butter chocolates and I don't see much here.
Yeah.
I want to, I want to get that.
I want to try that Mr. Beast peanut butter cup.
It looks good.
My boys would always get different glizzies, bro.
Is that even real meat?
I don't know.
This is definitely not.
Anyways, this is the good stuff right here.
Oh, yeah.
I had one of these yesterday.
You can get the big ones, but usually I find the small ones taste better, because the big ones are sometimes dry.
Do you want one of these, tuna mayo?
I think I'll get one of these kimbaps.
What flavors do they have here?
Or is it a spam roll?
Yeah okay, maybe i'll get that, because it looks like spam.
And then rice right yeah yeah, i'll get that.
And uh, what are you gonna get to drink?
I got i brought water.
Okay yeah, i'm gonna buy water then.
Or actually, maybe i should get a coffee.
Or you can make that banana milk mixture you buy.
You buy one of the coffee pouches, like somewhere over there.
No, i'm good, let's go this way.
Do we need to get anything else here?
No, I think that's it.
But these are my favorite right here.
The Yonsei buns.
This one's my favorite.
Does Yonsei make them?
Like that's their brand?
Yonsei just has like branded food.
It's weird.
I think I'm going to get one of these sandwiches instead.
What do you think of that?
Yeah, I'm going to stay with the kimbap.
But you can get a sandwich if you want.
Isn't that called uh, onigiri?
Onigiri is japanese, kimbap is korean, but they're similar, right?
Yeah seaweed, wrapped rice with something inside.
Oh yeah, i'll sit on this side, i guess.
Okay guys, so this is what we got.
Leon got an egg sandwich, i got this like ramen, kimbap and a tuna mayo.
I'm pretty sure it's tuna mayo.
Wait, is it?
What kind of meat does that ramen have in it?
I don't know, think beef.
And leon got a pork one and a sandwich.
So i know what the tuna mayo one tastes like.
The tuna mayo one is good, but to open it you have to pull down on that and then pull it all the way around.
And why do they make it like that?
Just because it's easy to open it.
A lot of people mess this part up.
You just have to pull each end.
Actually, you want to know the real reason why they package it like that?
Because it's to keep the seaweed separate from the rice so it doesn't get soggy.
But you see that it just slides out very easily.
And look at that.
This is the seaweed and inside is the rice.
I've never had this flavor.
Spicy?
Nope.
It's actually good.
I never knew that about the seaweed, to be honest.
But it makes sense, right?
Yeah, it does make sense because it would be soggy.
And what people love about this is that crunch when you bite it.
Just like a crunch.
That restaurant right there, you guys could find it for me.
But this was in a K-drama, my friend said.
Or no, that one on the corner there.
One of these two.
What is that?
Like a kid's school bus.
Okay, so we found which K-drama it's from.
It's from this one.
I've never.
Well, actually I don't watch K-dramas, so I don't know.
But So if you guys have watched that, let me know.
I've never watched it.
This is Hongdae Street.
Last time I was here, that restaurant right there and the sushi one was not there.
The best burger place I found in my opinion is Burgery.
So one of these days we'll go to Burgery.
I think there's one in Hongdae and there's one in St.
Sean, but Burgery is like the best.
Oh, is it like a play on words of Burberry?
I'm not sure.
You know the Burberry brand?
Yeah.
My friends recommended to me and they said, oh, go to Burgery.
It's like the best.
And I'm like, I find the burgers and fast food in Korea, like not my favorite, but oh my gosh, bro.
I went there for like three days straight, like breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
It was so good.
I mean, just lunch and dinner, not breakfast, but it was really good.
I liked it.
What else do you want to try now that you're back?
Well, for dinner, we're going to have jjimdak because that's like my favorite in Sinchon.
I want to try the Korean fried chicken first.
So where do you think we should go for that?
If we're talking about Korean fried chicken, chains Like not like individual restaurants, but chains.
A lot of people say BBQ Chicken's, like, the best.
But what is going on?
That's, like, some Korean beauty stuff.
Isn't that all of you?
It's new.
No.
Hongik Pharmacy.
Oh.
Actually, I don't even know if they're open.
1030.
No.
Oh, yeah, they're open.
What time is it?
It's 1030 now.
Oh, yeah, 1036.
Okay, we're going to go inside here.
This is a Japanese brand, right?
Yeah.
And I've always wanted to buy a pair of these shoes, but they're very expensive in like Canada and North America.
But in Japan, I heard they're very cheap.
So we're not in Japan, we're in Korea, but I'm going to see if they're cheap here.
Yeah, it looks like the guy is still cleaning in there.
There you can see.
So we'll come back. after we go to Daiso.

Hey Ava, I'm lost in the Seoul metro system right now.
What's the name of the station you're at right now?
Right now I'm at Hongik Station and I just don't know where to go.
What's your final destination?
The final destination is my accommodation.
How do I buy a transportation card?
You can buy transportation cards at vending machines or ticket counters in the metro station.
Have you seen any machines or counters nearby?
Actually, you know what?
You're right.
I see a sign over there that says ticket vending machine.
I'm going to walk towards it.
You'll usually need to select your destination.
Can you see a map or a list of stations on the screen?
Yeah, I do.
I see English, select destination.
That's fantastic.
Selecting English and one-way ticket is exactly right.
Okay, perfect.
I've just paid for my ticket and they gave me a pass that I can use now in the train.
Awesome.
So you've got your pass.
Now, look for the gates where you tap your card to enter.
Yes, I see a sign with my train platform and I see a gate that I could enter.
You'll tap your pass at the gate and then head towards your train platform.
Okay, perfect.
I see where I have to go now.
I'm going to check in here.

We're going to buy some essentials.
I need a towel.
First of all, I don't have a towel.
A foot towel, I guess, as well.
And also a pair of slippers.
We need laundry soap and stuff.
Yeah.
Just basic stuff.
Yeah.
And I'm probably not going to buy a garbage can, but I'll buy a trash bag.
No, they have garbage can in there.
Well, mine does.
Mine doesn't.
I just need bags.
Now, someone left that behind then, because usually they don't give you anything except for like, the bed, the mattress and the stuff.
So anything else that's in there, someone like left it behind.
Yeah, but you got to keep it organized because it is a small space, right?
This thing is literally like 20 stories.
Should we take the elevator?
The elevator is like always packed.
Actually, no, it's right in the morning.
There's going to be nobody here.
Yeah, but I don't know what level of stuff is on.
Okay, so right now we're walking up the stairs here at Daiso.
There's like seven floors and there's like mirrors all along.
And we're hitting all the floors.
Yeah, we'll probably walk up all the floors, but there's mirrors all along.
Second floor, beauty, accessory, season, fashion.
Maybe they have shampoo there.
No, there's definitely a toiletries floor.
Stationery, toy, Disney, digital.
Did you grab a basket?
No, but they got some here.
I'm going to grab a basket.
Okay.
The first thing I think I want is a lint roller for this jacket specifically.
And I think this one's fine.
I'll get this 10 centimeter lint roller.
Well, here's the body scrubbers.
You want one of those?
Do you want one?
I do, but I don't kind of want to get a large one and not super hard.
Yeah.
Soft one.
Look at this white one.
Let's get a thousand one one.
Get this blue one.
So this is it?
Yeah, body scrubber.
This is to like scrub your body in the shower.
Oh, here's the towels actually.
Oh, what's the, how big is that one over there?
These are foot towels.
I think these are just face towels.
Oh wait, no, maybe not.
This is super tiny.
Two, one, two.
Yeah, that's with the size I have, so.
Okay.
Actually, I learned how to like pronounce Korean and this is literally pronounced ba-su-ta-u-l.
You say you wanted slippers?
Yeah, I probably should get one.
These ones look good, though.
They're like platformed up, but I prefer ones that would be closed at the bottom so that water doesn't come up.
Yeah.
Well, these are small though.
These are super small.
I don't think my feet would fit in these.
Okay.
I'm going to try these on to make sure they fit my feet.
Oh yeah.
Perfect fit.
And they're big and platformed.
So I can use these in the shower or I can use these in the washroom and my socks won't get wet.
So I'll take those those slippers just paid for all this stuff.
Considering the amount we bought, how much did you pay?
It wasn't that much.
I paid 26 canadian dollars or 26 000 won, so honestly, not that much, like it's actually a whole bag, a large bag of stuff.
We didn't get toilet paper and my bar of soap, so those are two things i still need, but besides that, we got everything.
Should we go to get the phone plan now?
Yeah, let's go to the tiger place first and then we'll go get the phone plan, i think.
Okay, so we're gonna go check out those shoes.
How do you?
How do you say that name?
And i've always wanted to buy a pair of these shoes onigiri tiger.
Yeah, i don't know.
I feel like i'm offending someone, so i won't say that name anymore.
These are the kill bill ones.
No, i wonder how much they are not gonna lie.
I don't like them too much.
I like that design i just touched these designs, not so much.
That's the sunscreen I bought for mom.
Boy massage.
Up there it says body.
This position is reserved for ladies.
Is it not cheese and corn flavor?
That'd be fire dude.
It's parmesan cheese.
No, that's from barbecue chicken.
Right here they call it busking and they perform like here and there all along this, this street, hongdae street.
There's, there's busking.
That's when they just perform at night, like sing or dance.
They play instruments.
Sometimes it's a group of people, sometimes it's just one person.
So we're gonna go up right now to chingu mobile and get a phone plan so we can have data while we're in korea.
We're gonna get the prepaid SIM, probably for a month.
We just bought our phone plan, a data plan or a phone plan, you can call it.
That's just when you get like either data or data and calling or data calling and text messages.
So that's what we just bought.
It was 30,000 won for 30 days.
So that's around 20 USD.
We're in Hongdae right now, as you can see.
But we're going to head back to our accommodation to drop off all our stuff.
This is going to make me fat.
Yeah, dude, 6,500.
I don't even know.
Someone let me know what this says in the comments.
So we're buying toilet paper right now.
So there are a bunch of packets of roll toilet paper and I'm going to get this six pack of toilet paper because we need it for our accommodation.
And we're only going to be staying there for one month.
So I think three each is more than enough because I don't think we'll be using one roll a week.
This is right here, a big refrigerator.
So this just keeps all this food cool.
It's not a freezer.
It doesn't freeze it, but it just keeps it cool.
Let's go to the checkout counter and check out, oh, ginseng.
What does that do?
Nothing, I think.
We're going to go in this one, two, three, four, four-story Olive Young.
And I just need a bar of soap, but that feels like overkill for what I need, but let's go in.

I'll see you guys there.
We just got back from the whole morning of shopping.
This is all our shopping right here.
We first stopped at Daiso and then got our phone plan, then got toilet paper and then we went to Olive Young.
So...
This toilet paper, my slippers, and then the rest is just towels, garbage bags and just other miscellaneous items.
And this is the receipt.
So I've never had a Feastable chocolate bar before, and I know this is Mr. Beast's brand.
I'm sure you guys all know who that is.
They only had the peanut butter flavor.
I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter.
I would prefer the peanut butter cups, but I'm going to try this one and tell you guys how it is.
I'll describe the flavor to the best of my abilities.
Ooh, I think I broke it in half accidentally on the way there.
Walk in.
OK, let's break it.
It feels very smooth to my hands like it's just melting, but let's try it.
It smells like just straight up peanut butter. original price of this 6,500 won, but we paid 1500.
So that was a good deal.
And, uh, it's pretty good.
Like there's not really a strong peanut butter flavor.
It's not very strong, but you can taste the peanut butter.
You could taste the chocolate.
So it's pretty good.
Like it's not like amazing, but it's not terrible.
It's like just tastes like a normal chocolate bar.
Would i eat this again?
Yeah, i probably would.
I want to try the other flavors though, because i heard people like the caramel flavor.
They say, by the way, some people say caramel, some people say caramel.
You could say it how you want, but i found majority of people say caramel.
Just say whatever you want.
Yeah, this is my first feastable ever and it's not bad.
This one's good.
Now we're walking on the sidewalk.
This right here, this part yeah, this is the curb.
This right here on the right, is a hedge.
A hedge.
I guess they're busking, or i don't even know.
Honestly, i'm gonna assume she's gonna like sing or something.
Actually, there's two of them.
Well, they got first of all some key lights and then a bunch of videographers, so i assume they're like somewhat famous or popular.
That looks like a tiger to me, though.
Yeah, tiger.
So that's the restaurant right there that we're going to.
Premium gym doc.
Premium gym doc.
Yeah, but also right here, Sulbing Cafe is like a really popular Korean dessert.
I don't really find that Korea has the best desserts.
They have some good desserts, but Sulbing is, this is a good place.
I think it's called Bingsoo.
So we just ordered pouring water into this cup.
The water is ice cold.
Ice cold.
This is a restaurant.
Premium jjimdak in Sinchon.
But this is the menu.
The menu.
This is the normal one.
Original Andong jjimdak.
This is rose jjimdak.
And this is gochujang.
Gochujang is spicy.
We just got this one, which is sweeter.
So we went with the original one.
And you didn't want to get one with cheese?
No, because the cheese, like... I think it's not like a good cheese, right?
It's mozzarella, but it's super thick.
And you chew that, dude, you might choke.
I'm not even joking.
I've choked a couple of times because it's really, really just a lot of chewing salt.
This is a palate cleanser.
This is radish.
Now I'm going to pour Leon some water.
But if you were like a good Korean, two hands.
And since Leon's older, I would serve him first and then he would serve me.
I think I'm not Korean, but that's just what I think is correct from my experience.
And then also, if we were drinking alcohol, like taking shots, I would have to turn away and then drink, since Leon is older.
So it's like a respect thing.
We got the food here and jjimdak.
You could literally just see the steam coming up.
But this right here. is my favorite Korean meal.
And the utensils are on the side here.
So these are chopsticks, and this is a spoon, and this is our food.
We also got like a small bowl of rice to go with it.
This right here is a kabuki.
It's got like rice cake.
Then we have chicken.
This is onion.
We have onions as well.
This right here is dumpling.
This one is filled with cheese and this one is just plain.
And also some carrots.
They sprinkled some sesame seeds over top.
And there's also some potatoes in here.
This is all the food we got.
So now we're going to dig in and eat.
Let's try it.
Okay.
Good stuff.
What does it taste like?
Sweet soy sauce.
It's pretty good.
I just put my jacket on and we've just finished eating.
You can see we cleared the plate.
We cleared it.
There's a couple onions on the plate, but that's about it.
So we're done eating.
This right here is our receipts.
This is what we chose to eat.
So we go, we'll give this to them at the front and then they calculate our bill right here.
So we're done eating, drank all our water, ate all the food.
This food was for three people and only us two ate it.
So now we're going to go check out and then walk back and probably just pass out because we're still jet lagged.
So let's go.

Or sometimes dry.
Ramen kimbap and a tuna mayo.
I'm pretty sure it's tuna mayo.
This is the seaweed.
And inside is the rice.
This is...
That crunch when you bite it.
Just like a crunch.
This is Hongdae Street.
Last time I was here, I got some essentials.
I need a towel.
There's definitely a toiletries floor.
Stationary toy.
I'm gonna grab a basket.
Okay, the first thing I think I want is a lint roller for this jacket specifically.
But this is to like scrub your body in the shower.
Oh, here.
Did you say you wanted slippers?
Yeah, I probably should get one.
All this stuff, considering the amount we bought, how much did you pay?
Too much?
I like that design.
I just touched these designs, not bought our phone plan, a data plan or a phone plan you can.
So we're buying uh, toilet paper right now.
So there are and i just need a bar of soap, but that feels like overkill for what i need.
But let's go.
I've never had a feastable chocolate bar before and i know this is miss.
It smells like just straight up peanut butter, Because I heard people like the caramel flavor.
They say
By the way, the water is ice cold.
Ice cold.
This is a palate cleanser.
This is radish.
Now I'm going to finish eating.
You can see we cleared the plate.
We cleared it.
There's a couple onions.
And remember guys, you will become fluent in English.
