Tips for travelling to Australia, specially melbourne: 1. Even if it's winter, still bring your summer clothes. 2. Even if it's summer, still bring your winter clothes. The weather in Melbourne is so damn unpredictable. You can have all 4 seasons in one day

We've always done our videos from the perspective of people living in South Korea, but we never really think of what it's like to just visit South Korea. Talking about paying your rent really doesn't apply to people on vacation, right? So we're gonna give a few travel tips for people visiting South Korea, so that you don't do the same mistakes our friends and family have.

Polish subtitles now up! Thank you, kind stranger! Dzienkuje --I don't know how to spell in Polish, sorry :(

when you come to the netherlands and you want to go from the airport to whatever city you want to DO NOT TAKE A TAXI! Except if you're super rich and brought 5 suitcases >< The Netherlands are pretty small and the cities are well connected by trains, it's a lot cheaper and the trainstation closest to the airport is right underneath the airport so it's not hard to find. I work at the airport and I always recommend to go by train ^^

Oh hey! My comment was recognized! Thank you for your nice words. Keep up the good work, guys!

I live in France and, except all of the obvious thing and what you said in the video, my only tips would be : don't stay in Paris. Actually, it's more a request than a tip, ha ha. If you're staying longer than just a few days, please go visit an other city ! Lyon, the seconde biggest city in France, is SO beautiful ! (it hosts every year a huge international event in December named The Festival of Lights just so you know if you're coming at that time) So many others beautiful cities such as Bordeaux, the town of Mont St Michel, Aix-en-Provence, Strasbourg, and so on... but there are also others places like the castles of the Loire (name of a french river) valley, which I highly recommand !!!! My point here is not to say that my country is attractive (it is !) but to show foreigners that France ≠ Paris ! Paris is really well-known internationaly speaking, I understand that, but it's very frustrating for French people who don't live in the capital; Paris takes many good opportunities from us (tourism, studies, jobs...) and I would love foreign people be aware of that. I don't know if my english was understable but anyway, COME IN FRANCE BUT NOT IN PARIS 8D And for a real tip : always have some cash with you because some coffee shop or small shops in general won't take your card for small amounts~

I know idol culture was addressed in another TL;DR, but I really want to know more about why fans support and defend Kim Hyun Joong after he assaulted his girlfriend (and was charged for it), but treat Super Junior's Sungmin like a criminal for being in love and getting married. Sungminout has trended more than once in the last six months.... So assaulting someone is acceptable, but loving someone is not? These priorities seem majorly messed up...

Spanish subtitles now up!

Shit Google Maps barely even works in America XD

English subs now up, thanks to @Judit L

Indonesian subs are now up! Woohoo! Thank you to whoever made them!

Martina!!!! I love your hair in this tldr!

Okay Guise, when you come to Canada there are a few things that you need to know: 1. Canada is huge, I mean stupidly big. You can get in a car in Ottawa (where I'm from) and drive for 6 hrs and you haven't really gone anywhere on the map so if you are traveling within Canada, I would suggest taking the train or a greyhound (its a bus) that way you can sleep and its waaaay cheaper 2. Depending on where you are there are going to be different accents and dialects. I am originally from the Maritimes, so I have a bit of a Newf accent, but I live in Ottawa, where in some parts people speak frengish (french and english) and its a little hard to get used to. 3. You will go to Tim Hortons, it just will happen. 4. THIS IS SPECIFIC TO OTTAWA, THE BUS SUCKS HERE. You can get a "presto" card and load it up with money and its good, but the busses themselves are awful

I cannot stop staring at how flawless Simon's skin looks. It looks like smooth shining tofu. Seriously, what product have you been using? Blood of your victims?!

After the 5+ years I've been watching you guys, you're still some of my favorite KZfaqrs!!

Tips if you come to London (England): 1. Bring an umbrella/waterproof coat (applies to the whole of the UK and Ireland actually) 2. You can't use money to pay on buses anymore, you'll need to buy an oyster or travel card instead 3. City people don't do small talk or smiling, please don't take it personally 4. Trains to some places will stop running after a certain time at night 5. The transport for london website is frustrating, using top rated apps is probably easier ('Bus Times' is a great one) 6. 'British accents' aren't a thing 7. Take a bag with a zip, it gets crowded and pickpockets are still a thing 8. Food and drink is pretty expensive in London but Mcdonalds will be cheap everywhere 9. Ordering a taxi is 100000% safer than just getting in one, especially at night. That's all I can come up with for now, hopefully it hasn't put anyone off :)

This video came at the perfect time! My friend and I were just talking about planning a trip to Seoul!

omggggg you guys posted this just when i needed it thank youuuuuu 💗💗

Dudes, you dont know how much I needed this! Thank yoooooouuuuuu~

YESSS THANK YOU!! planning to come to korea for vacation over the summer

If you're coming to Malaysia, 1) You dont need to speak Bahasa Malaysia. Most Malaysians can understand English and they can speak basic broken English, but you can still get through here without a translation book. dont worry about language barrier. 2) DO NOT TAKE THE TAXIS. IT IS A RIP OFF AND ITS DISGUSTING. The taxi driver will mostly 'guess' or 'estimate' how much the cost is without using the meter and it'll cost you a lot. Use buses or even better, Uber!! Yes we have uber here in Malaysia (tho in major cities) 3)The internet here is slowwwwwwww. Even as a Malaysian using the 3g network is very slow, and you have to buy the mifi device. Because Malaysia does not have open wifi. Places like starbucks, the airport has it, but others dont. 4) Enjoy the food culture! I know, you'll probably miss the food back in your hometown/country. But the food culture here in Malaysia is so diverse it'll be a shame for you not to indulge yourself into this never ending feast! We got everything from nasi lemak to roti canai and nasi ayam and etc. 5) the hotspots are usually KL (shopaholics) , Pulau Langkawi (if you are into duty free shopping), Pulau Pinang (foodies galore), Sabah & Sarawak (nature lover), Pulau Tioman (sea lover), Melaka (history nerds), Johor (Legoland) 6) Public PDA is not a common sight here. People will stare and talk behind your back. 7) Malaysia is hot! HOT! HOT!!!! Please dont bring any winter clothes, its really really hot here. Just bring your summer clothes and you'll be fine. Put lots of sunscreen too if you dont want to have sunburn! Theres lots to talk about but I cant bring myself to remember it whilst writing this post. Hope other Malaysians could help me out!

If you ever visit Okinawa, Japan, make sure you rent a car! Also, if you're in a resort town like Onna Village (incredibly beautiful) then everything closes at 9 unless it's a convenience store! Lol. Also, stay away from the heavily populated areas and visit an outer island. It's a boat ride away and worth the money.

Thank you so much for your tips. This channel is brilliant !

Thanks for doing this video, I've always wanted to ask these questions but was deterred as I thought you'd be getting questions like that all the time. Cheers for the info, looking forward to visiting Korea!

Why does Simon's skin always look so nice ?

Comment on the clothing sizes: I remember that I almost cried when the leather jacket that I have bought for my American boyfriend (now husband) did not fit him. Too short on the sleeves and he can't close the front with the zipper. It was my first xmas gift to him. It was a silly mistake; since he was lanky I thought he'll fit the medium size and it looked big on the display. Thankfully, the Japanese store that I went to were gracious enough to ask all their branches if they got larger sizes. Funny thing was they warned me that they only have one XL size of the jacket. I said yes, went back to the store with hubby on tow. The salespeople were so mesmerized when the XL jacket fit him perfectly XD. It's an old joke to our families that my skinny husband is considered XL in my country

Omg thanks so much. This is such a helpful tips for when i am travelling to korea in april

Great video guys :) as usual thanks for all the great tips

1. Use VPN with open wifi hotspots 2. Don't start small talk to any city dwellers they are all xenophobic. 3. Present yourself as foreigner otherwise they will think you are a Korean and won't get better treatment. 4. Walk like a b4u55 they will move for you if they don't they have nothing to complain about. 5. If you find rude Koreans treat them ruder in English they will back down. 6. When driving always obey traffic signs, there are tons of people who won't stop for stop signs. 7. Do not go during chuseok everyone is on holidays, even garbage workers.

Singapore is pretty solid, you may know cause you've been here before, but our airport is super high standard so you not only find EVERYTHING past security gates, but also, getting out of the airport is pretty easy and hassle free. one thing in Singapore, pack thinner clothes and deo because the weather here is not fun (unless you stay in indoor malls all day which are airconditioned). don't go for the food courts that looks very nice. this sounds weird but the food courts that are done up very prettily and are super clean are MAJOR ripoffs! and the food may not even be that good either. go for the outdoor ones. usually better and cheaper food. Everyone speaks English here so no worries. that wifi egg thing may be a good idea too. some places have started with the open wifi, but not all. especially when out and about, it's really hard to find open wifi. and if you can find it, it may not even work sometimes. Taxis here can be expensive so take the MRT all the way. it's pretty extensive too. it only sucks wearing peak hour and when sometimes they decide to be pain in the butts and travel along really really slowly. and... ehhhh I can't think of much else right now, but I'll add on if I do! btw, come back to singapore again Simon & Martina! I saw your vlog and oh my god you've barely touched any of the good food here. only the fish head curry and chicken rice. there's so so so much more that I'm sure you'll love!!

I love you guys! This was SO on time!!! I'm traveling to Korea in 3 weeks to be there for a month. Thank you so much!

This was so helpful! I'm going to Seoul for the first time in a couple of months and there was a few things that you mentioned that I haven't thought about! Thank you ☺

I just came to Seoul yesterday for an overseas schooling program and I'm so nervous

Love you Simon and Martina :D

Excellent video. This is just want I needed.

I'm loving your work! Thank you!

Google Maps does work reasonably well in Korea for me - the street maps are generally OK around at least Seoul, Suwon and Busan so it's good for orienting yourself. The navigation supports the subway too (though currently the station names are only given in Hangul unlike Japan which will render them in English). The walking directions are very shaky though so I'd not be surprised if the driving navigation were terrible.

Two tips for traveling to the US: 1. When you are in the airport do the opposite of what Simon and Martina said in regards to food. You cannot take food or liquids through security. They will make you throw away that sandwich you just bought. There are more food choices after security anyway. 2. When you eat in a restaurant you NEED TO TIP YOUR SERVER!!! The politest lowest amount you can tip is 15%. You NEED TO TIP because servers are paid very little and are expected to make most of their paycheck through their tips. If you don't tip it is extremely rude, remember tipping is not a reward it's a necessity!

This is so helpful!! Thanks!!

Ahh your video for long flights helped me so much for my trip to South Korea and Ireland! I'm so happy you made more seeing as I do (hopefully) plan to travel to Korea again!

I love your tldrs😂😂😘😋😋💕

This video makes me realize how so not prepared I am lol. I'm one of those people who's just like 'well, I've got my stuff packed - guess I'm ready!'. Seems it's not that simple! lol Thanks for making this!

Love all your videos guys but I think this is the best so far!!! Thank you so much! It is super helpful especially the banking tip!!!!!

This is really helpful for me. I'm planning on doing a lot of traveling so this was really helpful.

I wanna go to Korea but I'm really scared that I might not fit in their beauty standards. Btw Simon & Martina I love your videos, it is very educational! Greetings from Switzerland 😄

Can you guys come to singapore again? 😯😢😟

Your awesome keep making videos (more vlogs and tldrs I love them the most but still love your other videos)

Thank you so much for the tips! Trying to plan a trip in the fall :)

If you come to Australia, watch out for drop bears.

I couldnt find the jihachul app on appstore!

Awesome!! I'm visiting March 8-22nd and this couldn't come at a better time :D Seriously excited to visit!

This was really helpful, thank you for the video ^^

Hi I was wondering if korean restaurants let people take away food, when I mean take away I mean like take left over food home because I will be going to korea by myself at the end of the year but lots of food I want to try are portioned for 2/3 people

I'm from the Netherlands and to me American bread is very soft. I've live in America for a long time, so I've gotten used to their bread, but Dutch bread is nicer because it has better texture. The best way I can describe the difference is this; Dutch bread is like perfectly cooked pasta, where American bread is like overcooked pasta. >.

Great tips! So helpful

I'll be visiting Korea in August for my 19th birthday for three weeks. My birthday falls on August 9th and that'll be the YouAreHere cafe's one year anniversary! I'm so excited! EatYourKimchi has really helped me figure out what I'm gonna do and (most importantly) what to eat hehehe I love you EYK! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Don't spend on hotels. Rent an apartment through Airbnb and save twice - thrice the amount of money and get free wireless internet that you can carry around(sometimes, there are handsome apartment hosts winkwink)! It really helps! I used Airbnb the last time I went to Korea ^^

So if there is no google maps in Korea.... mapquest? What do they use for directions there? :) I'd like to know!

I'm going to Korea and Japan in May and I was sooo happy to see you post this. I'm even more excited now! We'll be staying not far from You Are Here Cafe so I'm also super excited to come check it out. Thank you guys for the video

omg thanks for makiing this video! its super helpful

To people who want to come to the states: 1) don't 2) PLEASE DONT ITS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD (Hopefully I don't get attacked since this is a joke)

Any tips on renting a car and driving in korea?

Top tip from when I was there for two weeks. My iPhone is unlocked so I rented a sim card and it was super cheap and useful. Especially as I had Korean friends I was visiting, made it alot easier to ring them etc. Didn't have to constantly search for wifi either. Also the one I got gave me access to the wifi on the subway too and other places too. Really really good, don't think I paid more than 30000 won in total. Tons of minutes and data. Picked it up from the airport after booking it online, so simple. The one I got was called EG SIM or something. Of course, your phone has to be unlocked and be able to work overseas.

Thank you for the tips guys! Might be visiting korea in december *fingers crossed* Will definitely learn your tips by heart!

Hey can you talk about Kim Hyun Joong becoming a dad ???

In England, as long as you speak English, you'll be fine.

Me and my friend are coming to South Korea this year and this video was perfect :D thank you!

Love your videos!:) You guys inspired me to make videos

Does mastercard work in South Korea?

I couldn't get my eyes of Simons mustache beard thing.... Like isn't that thing itchy and annoying? My dance teacher had a beard too but his wife gave him a razer with his birthday so he had to shave it of lol

These are awesome tips!!!! These tips will come in handy when I head to Korea. Thank you! You guys rock. :)

New subscriber! Was looking for information bout Korea and just found you guys, in love with your videos :*

Oh Simon. Oh Martina. You guys are perfect.

OMG THIS VIDEO CAME JUST IN TIME?????? I'm actually flying to Seoul in 26 hours and I can't wait to be there. These tips sure helped me a lot in understanding the "system" there better. Can't wait to pop by You Are Here!!!

Thx soo much!:) i'm so excited to go to seoul this summer with my mum and sis! Greeting from finland!

i needed this video so bad! I want to move to Korea in the future but i wanted to go and visit for a while beforehand, the only thing i was nervous about was talking the subway - but the app seems to be the perfect fix!

Love you guys! Stay Awesome as always ♥♥♥♥

Finland tips: 1. If you can find your way around by bus, take the bus. Taxis are safe to use, know their way around usually and are relaible/fancy car-wise but they are VERY expensive. 2. Everything is expensive. Prepare double the money you think is ok. Cards like Visa or Mastercard should work everywhere. 3. Restaurants close early compared to say, southern Europe. It's hard to find non-McD stuff to eat after 10 in the evening. Shops are closed on Sundays. 4. Coffee is good almost everywhere in Finland, but it's harder to find fancy tea. Candy is really good. 5. Alcohol other than cider or beer is not sold in grocery stores. If you want to buy wine to drink in your hotel room or something you need to find Alko, the dedicated liquor store. Restaurant liquor is usually, you guessed it, expensive.

So excited for my trip to Korea this summer with my friends!! This just helped us out :)

THANK YOU! This video was so helpful. I'm going to Korea in September for a 2 weeks as a exchange student, and yeah i just needed to know some helpful tips so thanks :)

Very helpful. Thank you guys. You two so adorable.

Thanks guys this really helped me.

Thanks for the great tips!😉 Its perfect tips that i can use. because me and my mom are planning trip to korea in the summer and i will make sure to visit your coffe shop! Love from sweden 🙆

Yay! Thanks so much for these tips. I'll be in Seoul this October. So excited to experience the fall season there :)

I loooove your videos and korea ^_^i love eatyourkimchi sooo much

For travellers to New Zealand:-NZ is so diverse, with many different people (mainly from the Pacific Islands and southeast Asia). In Auckland, every year in the beginning of March there are festivals to celebrate this diversity, such as PolyFest and Pasifika. I highly reccomend you get tickets if you are travelling at this time. Everyone speaks English you will find free wifi in most cafes, restaurants and hotels - credit cards are widely accepted. We love seafood it is abundant and fresh and we make fantastic wines. Awesome places to see and eat at apart from Auckland: Rotorua for an amazing Maori cultural experience, Raglan for surfing, Taupo for its beautiful lake and skiing (June, July, August @ Turoa/Whakapapa Ski fields), Wellington for Art and lifestyle (beware its windy as hell!) From there, go across Cook Strait on the Ferry to the South Island, it offers great hiking & kyaking. Visit Marlborough and experience the wines, kyak in Milford Sound, and try the best oysters in NZ in Bluff - these are a few places, there are so many more awesome places, everyone is friendly and hospitable and really down to earth, so if you ever need help don't be afraid to ask!

Y'all are life savers! I'm going to visit some family in South Korea and I'm secretly freaking out! Thank you so much for these helpful tips! 😆😁

great video! very helpful!

So super helpful~ thanks EYK ❤️

I was taking a study break and your upload made me happy :')

My day has been made!

I guess the most recent tip for those who want to visit Singapore and soak in a bit of nightlife is that there's a new liquor ban that's going to start in April - it will be illegal to drink in public places including void decks, parks and on the streets from 10.30pm to 7am. The retail sale of alcohol from 10.30pm will also banned (clubs and pubs are ok, but they have their own rules to follow) so if you want to get some drinks, get it early!

Hey Simon & Martina, you guys are awesome! I just discovered your youtube channels and cannot stop watching your videos. I'll be visiting HK, Taipei and Seoul in November .... found a wicked deal via Air Canada. All the best! Cheers, HabeeGirl (from Toronto)!

Thank you so much for posting this! I am coming to Korea next week! =D

This is so helpful! I've been wanting to go to S. Korea for a bit and after my experience in Japan I tried to find tips about Korea but there's barely anything around... until now! Thanks so much for the money tip! love your videos and your positivness, you guys always manage to make me smile

Sending sooo much love from Saudi Arabia love you guys

Oh! I'm going to korea in March! Thank god this video is uploaded before I go haha
