Look at what the city of Seoul does. Seoul city makes amazing festivals for tons of people where there are rarely ANY problems with violence or pickpocketing or assault. I haven't seen this in another city I've traveled to. What do you all think?!
Exactly!! Public safety in Korea is probably the biggest reason why I have been living in Korea for so long. I do not care how amazing the place is but if it is not safe, NO thanks!!
The last time I visited Seoul and Korea, was in 1999. Back then, it was an up-and-coming but grey and dull concrete city. There were none of those beautiful cultural fairs and festivities. And there weren't very many foreign tourists either.... like zero number of them. The views of the city now looks amazing, it's mindblowing how much it has changed.
Wow, I like the way how Koreans appreciate their holidays and try to make these days bright and entertaining for locals and tourists😍🔥 Thank you Francois, for showing us how colorful Korea becomes during this festival!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I'm happy to share Seoul and Korea life through videos for those who have never traveled to Korea. Thank you always for your lovely comments!♡♡♡;)
비가 한번 오면 기온이 떨어져 갑자기 가을이 될겁니다..가을에는 단풍이 이뻐요...한국은 봄 , 가을이 특별히 이쁘답니다. 시간이 많으시면 가을에 단풍을 보러 강원설악산이나, 내장산 으로 가보세요.. 특히 내장산 단풍은 세계에서도 보기힘들정도로 이쁩니다...덥지만 의미있고, 좋은 여행이 되시길 바랍니다..그리고 당신에게 행운과 행복이 깃들길 바랍니다 ..영상감사합니다❤
Seoul has a lovely glow that shines at night! The city is so colorful and really vibrant. It’s sometimes a bit strange that for a city so beloved like Seoul, it still sometimes is overlooked by some visitors as compared to other Asian cities. Seems you had a nice nice and fun time, Francois! Keep at it! Enjoy life brother!
Great video Francois!! I have been living in Seoul for more than twenty years now and this summer was truly ridiculously the hottest and the most humid by far. Something is terribly wrong with this weather. I think everyone is ready for a beautiful fall season. We are only literally a few days away from it so let's be patient and be ready to enjoy the most beautiful season in Korea. Well, heck pretty soon, people will be complaining about how cold the weather is in Korea when winter rolls around. You know how cold the weather can get in Korea. Thank you for making this video. Really enjoyed it, brother!!
In the summer people complain it's hot, in the winter people say it's too cold. We can't win for trying lol. Seriously, I do think something is terribly wrong with the earth. This weather is super crazy! And also...more than 20 years?? How did you manage it?!
@@francoismarc3 As someone who is from Atlanta, Georgia, and you know how hot it can get in summer there, I deal with it as best I can knowing fall is an amazing season here in Korea just like in Atlanta but it seems like Summer is getting longer and hotter and the other three seasons are getting shorter as times go by if you know what I mean. If I could choose between the two summers, I would much rather choose the summer in Atlanta over Korea even though they are both HOT due to the insane amount of humidity here in Korea. I love living in Korea but God, I miss Atlanta especially all those trees, the people, the landscape, the Southern hospitality, food, the Smokey Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Gatlinburg Mountain town, and Helen, Ga I used to visit in summertime with my wife. A lot of wonderful memories!! Atlanta is an amazing place to live!! I consider myself a Southerner and proud of it. You know how many Southern people are so down to Earth, kind, loyal, and friendly!! I still speak with a little Southern accent!! Do you miss Atlanta like I do and consider yourself a true Southerner too Francois? Thank you!!
@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821 I remember my mom went to Helen, GA for Oktober Fest! I do miss the trees and southern food. The hospitality as well, but I do like my life in Korea:) I'll always be a southerner at heart!!! Just now, I'm really enjoying my life as an American-Korean hahahah
❤ Fun and exciting content! Merci beaucoup Francois! 🎉Sending positive vibes from Southern California 🙂 - K American learning about my K roots and language. We appreciate you! 🙏🏻
Yooooo, merci beaucoup!!! I'm happy you watch and enjoy my content! Are you really learning things about Korea from my content?? That makes me even happier to know!!!
Can you imagine living in a country where it's safe, the people are respectful and there's very very little violence or hostility? Unheard of in America today...
True. Try this same stuff in an American city downtown area where there are thousands of homeless people on Fentynal, living on streets and tent cities. Why is there such a big difference?
The steak was the best I've had in a long time...Please don't come during the summer when you visit! Autumn or Spring hahaha. In the summer, I want to escape!!!
Huge the pacific ocean's heated steams come to East Asia because of the earth rotation in summer. Wear the bright clothes, the black color clothe take in 20% heat more.
Seoul has so many free/ low cost activities. I love that there are so many street performers. Sous vide steak for 13, 000 won - yes please! Bean bag chairs at an outdoor screening - yes please! I went to a food truck festival here recently prices were $20 cad average(20 000 won) and they had less variety and quality than your festival. Francois have you considered carrying a handheld fan? Korea makes amazing ones. Please consider posting prices. I do appreciate when you mention them.
Posting prices is something I've been thinking about, but I always forget hahaa. Thanks for reminding me:) Maybe I should get a hand-held fan. I can always store it in my bag when I'm not using it:) Also, food prices at events are relatively cheap, unless the venues are big concerts and things like that.:) I always appreciate your comments!
Super abnormal! Honestly, I think we all need another lockdown-tyoe policy where cars aren't to be driven on some days or something to that effect. The earth is hurting because of us....

was this in august? you said you were from ga? lol i grew up in ny. if you can't handle the heat i had no chance. i'd shower, walk down the street to the subway to get to work and i'd be drenched in sweat.
Lol you're sweating like you just came back from a 10K run 😂 I've only been to one festival in Korea around the fall time in Itaewon (completely by accident lol). I don't remember the name of it, but it was during the daytime and they had some wild, cultural demonstrations. One in particular that really stood out had 2 opposing crowds holding up insanely large wooden battering rams going at it. If you want to see pictures and videos from the event, let me know!
하지만... 아무리 건조하고 기후가 1 년 내내 좋은 나라에 있을지라도 한국의 기후를 몇 년 간 경험한 사람들은 그 다이나믹한 기후를 또다시 그리워 할 거라 생각합니다. 여름의 엄청난 습도와 뜨거움, 겨울의 엄청난 추위... 마치 홍어와 같지요. 홍어를 처음 접하면 그 말도 안되는 엄청난 냄새와 맛에 손사레를 치지만 가끔 홍어와 같은 강렬한 음식맛이 그리울 때가 있을 거에요. 그러다가 다시 경험하면 또 후회하게 되겠지요... 기후도, 음식도 위의 설명한 바와 같다고 생각합니다. 그러한 강렬함들이 인간을 더 몸부림 치게 만드는 것 같아요. 한국이 강렬해진 이유가 아닐까요?

맞습니다. 한국 뚜렷한 사계절 한번 맛보면 어디가면 그리우죠.
@TreePapaya 나도 홍어 안좋아하는 사람이지만.... 즐겨 먹는 많은 사람들이 이미 존재하는데 본인이 못 먹는다고 "사람이 먹을 음식이 아니다"라고 말하는건 너무 무례한 것 같네요. 그냥 당신이 못 먹는거예요
Thank you for this analogy!!!
Especially avoid Seoul in August..it's brutal
Late April/Early May is my favorite
