      There's one thing you have to keep in mind
      Korea, Japan, and China are similar, but different, and historically, they are not getting along well, so it is rude to mention and compare each country😅

      That food is not 'sushi and roll' , but 'Gimbap(김밥)'..'Sushi and roll' and 'Gimbap' is totally different food..Please be cautious when you mention Korean food name.

      Welcome to Korea Seoul Maria & Olivia

      South Korea, particularly Seoul, has a shorter climate but it is sometimes colder than Siberia from mid-November to mid-March, and the summer months of late May to September are far hotter than Africa and Southeast Asia, which is why it is annoying to see a wide variety of healthy and tasty foods in the world. Seoul is a large city with a population of about 10 million, home to world-famous companies such as Hyundai Motor, Samsung, LG, SK, POSCO, and Hanwha. If divided into Gyeonggi Province and the nearby Tokyo region like Japan, the population will be as small as 25 million, a characteristic global metropolis with about half of South Korea's total population. Meanwhile, South Korea is a capitalist country where about 80 percent of its land is mountainous or highlands, making it difficult to distribute and sell logistics, but Koreans' diligence has overcome all these challenges. The huge West Sea is just 40 kilometers to the west and the East Sea is only 170 kilometers at best. So it is the only country on Earth that has to be so cold when the temperature rises a little to cover it up and vice versa. And in Seoul, the famous Han River, a very large river, crosses the heart of Seoul People might often think that rivers, seas and mountains give cool or clean air, but water generally provides tremendous moisture and humidity vapor. Some people also compare South Korea to Italy as a peninsula country, where Italians are not as patient or polite as Koreans, although they may be similarly hot-tempered as Koreans. It is South Korea that has developed to overcome such a harsh climate because of its close proximity to the palate-boosting ocean and mountains that are possible, rich in jade soil, and fantastically delicious and healthy foods with fresh ingredients and reasonable ways that even Koreans have never eaten them all

      Tteokbokki is one of the most trashy Korean foods. Originally, Tteokbokki was a royal dish made by mixing rice cakes, nuts, vegetables, and beef with a little soy sauce. However, tteokbokki has now turned into a spicy and sweet junk food. And in general, today's tteokbokki is made with wheat flour, not rice cake. Korea's traditional rice cakes, which have a thousand-year history, are made with almost no seasoning, so the ingredients retain their original flavor. Among over 100 types of Korean rice cakes, representative rice cakes include Songpyeon, Injeolmi, Gyeongdan, Baekseolgi, and Sirutdeok.

      (오늘날의 김밥은 일제강점기 일본으로부터 전해진 김초밥이 우리나라 방식으로 토착화된 음식으로, 김에 밥을 싸서 먹는 형태, 김부스러기를 밥에 섞어 성형한 주먹밥 형태, 식초물로 간을 한 밥에 여러 가지 재료를 넣고 말아서 둥글게 만든 형태 등이 있었다.) – 한국민족문화대백과사전 – // 인정하기 싫으시면 전화해서 바꾸라고 하시고~

      I know many Westerners call kimbap "sushi" or "Korean sushi." I know many Westerners call Tteok(Korean rice cake) "mochi". (Even though the history of rice cake in Korea is longer than that in Japan)…..😔

      Anyway, the biggest difference between kimbap and maki sushi is that maki sushi contains a lot of vinegar, while gimbap contains very little vinegar and has sesame oil.

      One interesting story – One of the leader of Hun Tribe became the king of Shilla dynasty , Hun tribe spread to Germany , Hungary ( Hun ) , Finland.

      one of Hun Tribe married Sachen king after that they united Germany and UK king is a descendant of that family Tree.

      There is small town – Andong city in Korea , they still pray for the ancestors ( Kim family from Andong) . Kim family was the founder of shilla dynasty .

      The Queen Elizabeth visit Andong City and she showed her feet ( It was first time ever – youtube ) to enter the memorial house.

      The queen brought Diana and Charles to see the heritage of them and Bush – former US president visit same place twice : very small town in Korea.

      Seoul is large enough that you can see many places and experience many different things while traveling by subway. It is a city so big that you cannot see everything in a short period of time. Public transportation is developed in Seoul, so you do not need to take a taxi.

    27. @cutemachin on

      As a Korean, this is my favorite Seoul travel vlog. I think what makes your videos more interesting is the places you visited are even young Koreans also want to visit and like. It's a wonderful itinerary that combines trendiness and tradition. Hope you had a great time in Korea <3
