Love that you prep meals for Nala. For feedback it would be nice if you mentioned C also for weather. I know Americans still use F , but most countries use celsius. I like how you are featuring a lot of local places not featured in tourist videos.

I’ll try my best! It’s bad at doing the math in my head and I’m still not used to the C system

I love Insadong, too :) to me, it's a lot more interesting cos it does have the history and was the area for cultural arts and crafts and things like that long before tourists discovered it. so while I'm well aware that you pay a tourist tax these days, the place does have merit, and like you said and showed, there are also so many independent artists(?) here, so I don't mind it so much. also I love garlic so that bossam place looked great! :D

@TravelWithNala Ай бұрын

Very true! It’s a popular tourist spot but it’s not a “tourist trap” like some places in Korea.

I went there and at Ikseon-dong just this May 6. It was raining. It was a very cold day. All the coffee shops were packed. It was also kinda hot and stuffy inside. I think the aircons were turned off. I only got to buy the yummy Salt Bread and some Kkul-tarae to bring to my home country for friends and relatives. Oh no, I wish I saw the personalized stamp pads. That would have been a great souvenir. I missed it. 😢

@TravelWithNala Ай бұрын

Ah shoot bad timing. It’s been raining soo much these days. Hopefully you still had some form though. Don’t forget to freeze the tarae

Another neighborhood to add to my Korea travel itinerary! Are there any alternatives to the T-Money Card? If not, can it be loaded with a credit or debit card? I heard that cash is the only option, but wanted to confirm

@TravelWithNala 29 күн бұрын

Yeah it’s cash only. There’s a new thing called creatrip I would look that up but I think that’s also cash only.

Hey David and Kim..what about solo travellers..or say a couple where one person is veg and thenother is non veg...do the restaurants allow solo eating? I'm specifically asking about BBQ...cz my partner won't have non veg will he be allowed to sit?

@TravelWithNala 28 күн бұрын

Most kkbw restaurants have a “1 person 1 menu” rule so if you have 2 ppl you need to order 2 portions of meat. A lot also have a minimum order of 2 per table so if you sit alone you still have to order 2 portions. This is mostly for kbbq places that use charcoal. Ones with gas grills usually have looser rules

@2GoodLookin Ай бұрын

Funny, my girlfriend and I did almost the same tour there three weeks ago. Very nice area and things to buy but EVERYTHING is way over-priced.

@TravelWithNala Ай бұрын

Haha awesome! It’s prices can be high in a lot of the shops because they’re mostly small businesses but there so much fun things to do and there’s still great deals to find

According to wiki '' Dragon's beard candy was initially created in China, but soon spread in popularity in other parts of East Asia and South East Asia, becoming a regional delicacy in South Korea in the 1990s, and Singapore in the 1980s, as well as more recently in Canada, and the United States.''

@victoria_elaine_treadaway71 Ай бұрын

Apparently It's like cotton candy as it melts in mouth but still different in other ways. Cotton candy spun sugar, but it says dragons beard has, starch =corn starch I wonder if tapioca flour could work it is starch.

26 mins in. Odd question, but how much is it customary to tip street performers? What would be too little, too much

@TravelWithNala 28 күн бұрын

There’s no customary amount. Most people put in coins are 1k won notes. Minimum wage in Seoul is about 9k won and a lot of people, especially elderly people, make way less than that so I’m sure any amount is appreciated.
