เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 20 พ.ย. 2023
I've lived in Korea over 30 years. So much has changed that it's hard to keep up. Join me as I break out of my routine and explore Korea all over again. While I'm at it, I'll give you my take on Korean food, history, culture, daily life, and anything else I can dig out of my experience here.
Seoul Vlog: In search of... Christmas
Join me as I walk through Seoul looking for the Christmas feeling on a cold Saturday night a few days before Christmas 2024.

These Seoul Neighborhoods will Never be the Same Again
In Dublin the City Council decided to be PC and call them 'Winter lights' instead of Christmas Lights, but I'll bet once Christmas is over, the lights will be gone even though its still WINTER. Strange how the City Council is keen to mention Lunar NY, Eid and Diwali events....yet Christmas is a no-no. Next big event is St Patricks day, 17 March. In terms of extra business, only the pubs have been busy thru December, the shoppers only kicked off last week and then the Sales start on 26th, though we do have Black Friday/Cyber Monday/TEMU to take away from the traditional post Christmas sales, and anyway ,I think people have nearly everything they need now,more than in the past when stuff was a lot less affordable/available? Happy Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Mike. This video was nice to watch when I got home from mom's house. Thank you for showing the beauty of Korea.
I hope as many Americans as possible move to Korea. We hope to stop Chinese immigration and bring as many patriots as possible to Korea. Now is your chance!
welcome to korea ❤
Merry Christmas from Australia where we eat prawn and ham on a hot summer day! I miss the cold winter Christmas tbh… i’m hearing my neighbors shouting and having a good time with the sound of water splashes from their backyard pool as i write this comment haha
Merry Christmas down under! I hope you enjoy some 'White Wine in the Sun'.
Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays!
I very much enjoyed Christmas lights and music, good to be cold in winter, otherwise we don't feel Christmas at all...just like in Phoenix, still warm in December. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Thank you! Happy Holidays!
I loved the latter part with all the lighted trees and lights. I love everything about Christmas. For me it represents the birth of my beloved Lord and savior. Even though it's not the exact day of birth, it represents it to me. I celebrate Him every day, but Christmas has its special magic. Thank you for sharing this, I enjoyed as usual. Merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones, and have a blessed New Year, may God bless you with favor everywhere you go.
Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Thank you for the video and happy holidays. Korea is in political meltdown right now in this Xmas season. Also, Xmas is for kids and with birthrate of 0.7, you're going to see fewer kids in those Seoul neighborhoods as time goes by.
Yeah, these are pretty good reasons why there is less Christmas spirit in the country. Good points.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas mike 🎄🎄
Merry Christmas!
in the past, we could feel the vividness and cheerfulness of the christmas season as it drew close, but after the imf crisis, the chrismas vibes, I suppose, have faded away. maybe I'm wrong. it's just a wild guess. anyways, at that time, walking on the main streets, like shinchon, meondong or hongdae, we could easily encounter a decent amount of carol songs. some say it's due to copyright issues on those things. however, I'm not sure. with that being said, merry Christmas mike!! thanks to your channel, I've been able to enjoy myself for a year.
Nice to know you're enjoying the vids! Merry Christmas!
My son is Canadian and living in Busan. Last Christmas he flew home which was so wonderful but this Christmas he is playing Santa and visiting an orphanage in Busan and distributing gifts. You have to find ways of helping other people in order to not feel sad about missing your family. Merry Christmas.
That sounds like an excellent way to bypass the Christmas blues. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Mike

새벽에 혼자 걷는 외국인을 만나면 한국사람이 더 무서워할거에요. ㅎㅎ 1주년 축하드립니다.
감사합니다!
서울 같은 대도시에서 새벽 3시라고 뭐 위험할 게 없죠ㅎㅎ 어라, 다른 나라는 안그래요..?
서울은 특별한 곳이에요.
일주년 진심으로 축하드립니다 새해 복 많이 받으세요 그리고 내년에는 30만 구독자가 되시길 응원합니다
감사합니다!
모든 나라에서 아무 걱정없이 고요하고 조용한 밤거리나 새벽거리를 감성에 젖어 걸어다닐수 있으면 얼마나 좋을까요.
외국인이 저녁에 걱정하는것: 강도, 치한, 총 한국인이 저녁에 걱정하는것: 음주운전 차량, 귀신

Hello, neighbor :-)
If I wrote everything about what you shared with us, it would be long. I very much loved seeing it all. Thank you for all of it. I now want to go and see all of it for myself. Thank you for your hard work and the history you shared.
I'm so glad you like it. I'm very lucky to have a friend willing to take me around for several days to places I never would have wandered to on my own.
Beautiful country side and wonderful music
Beautiful cave very nice

I am a Russian living in Seoul and i often go on ciggie breaks or convinience store runs in the middle of the night. I would get mugged for sure if i did that back home😂
It's amazingly liberating, isn't it?

그렇게 좋게 비출필요 업어요.. 괜히 자살율 이민율 1위 국가는 아닙니다. 불만족하는 사람은 너무 극한적으로 치우치고 살만한 사람은 살만합니다. 살기엔 너무 편하나 너무 썩었어요 우리나라는............................

Walking all over London is my favourite thing to do when I get a chance to go home from Canada. It's so easy to walk across the city, as you did. So much to see. So much history. My dad was a tour guide in London after he retired from the City. He knew every nook and cranny and I have continued that habit of popping down alleys etc. In fact my 2 recent trips to very tourist friendly Seoul and Busan were made easier and more fulfilling because of that mind-set. Thanks for giving me a visual top-up.
Thanks! I love walking Seoul, but I only know a small fraction of London. It's a different experience, where there's something new around every corner even on the streets I "know".
This is something you can't imagine in your country... walking down the street at dawn wow
