Another great video which can be very useful tips for fellow overseas visitors to Seoul. About T money card, you can use it at most of shops, buses and taxis as a mode of payment. Big thumb up for your courage to adventure out alone first time in Korea. 👍
Most subway cars in Seoul do have display monitors in each car that show you what the next station is. Some of the older cars might not have it, but that's very rare.
Great vlog. Was in Seoul March 24. Kakao Metro app was also extremely useful along with the Kakao and Naver maps. LOVED the jingles on the platforms when a train was imminent. And the T-Money card was brilliant - used that for the luggage lockers in Seoul Station as well as the metro and also a taxi on one occasion. Many thanks for the memories! 🇰🇷😊
Glad you enjoyed it, yes the jingles were delightful! I caught the train here in Sydney the other day and music started playing just before the train arrived I thought Sydney has upgraded the customer experience, alas it was just some guy with a boom box doing his thing. It's funny what the mind can think in a split second.
Thanks for your kind comment. Yes, Naver maps are great, but they took me a while to get used to and was hard for me to search for something if it was not a major tourist destination.
호주에서 오셨군요. 한국에서는 학교에서 호주를 많이 가르치기 때문에 호주의 기후, 지형, 경제에 대해 잘 알고 있습니다. 4:28 이부분이 많이 놀라웠습니다. 지하철을 탄지 거의 10년이 됐습니다만, 당시에는 "발빠짐 주의"가 아니라 "우리 역은 전동차와의 폭이 넓으므로 주의하시기 바랍니다" 이런 식으로 방송이 나왔었습니다.
That is interesting that things about Australia are taught in schools, I learnt most of what I know about Korea from K-dramas. :) That's why I had to visit to find out more. I re-listened to the announcement at 4:28 but its all jumbled words to me.
You are very proficient in using Korea's subway.👍 I live in a city south of Seoul and the Seoul subway connects to the city where I live. I work in a job that always moves around in a work vehicle, so I rarely have the opportunity to use the subway. About 5-6 years ago, after drinking with a friend at a downtown bar and splitting up to go home at 11 pm, I took the subway for the first time in almost 15 years and got off at the subway station near my neighborhood. But I was drunk, so I lost my sense of direction inside the crowded subway station.😵💫🍺 I couldn't find the exit no matter how much I wandered around. That's when my wife called me. "You're late, why aren't you home yet?" "I arrived at the subway station near our neighborhood 30 minutes ago. But I can't find the exit." "Then ask someone passing by." "I can't do that! I'm too embarrassed. I'll look like a country person. And I'm drunk now, my face is too red." I hung up the phone and wandered around for another 20 minutes before I could escape the subway station.😂😂😂 Subway stations are very dangerous.🤣 Thank you for the good video.
Thank you for your story, that made me chuckle! Glad you eventually made it home. I could not imagine navigating any part of the subway with a 'few beers under my belt'. 🍺
FYI...GS25 and CU are more popular convenient stores in South Korea. I like your smiley and exciting face. Korean currency is 'WON' neither 'YEN' or 'YUAN' although basically same character, 圓. We have better and more advanced station indication system in other colors lanes than Tokyo subway. I wish you experience more before commenting or comparing something.
Thanks for your info. Yes, I was telling someone yesterday that was the only 7-11 I saw (it was close to my accommodation). I realised afterwards I mixed up my currencies, doh glad you understood what I meant. Later on, I did find one train with the station indicator system. I was wondering if it depended on what line?
@@CatherineGrenfell I guess it depends on the train cars, I mean, when they are built. I hope you enjoy Seoul metropolitan area and other cities as well in South Korea.😄
Wow, I did not know you had to say that. I would never remember! I am always concentrating on if I am getting on the right train, on the right platform. 🤣
The Korean metro system may seem complicated at first, but the routes are well-differentiated by color, so it is very convenient once you understand them. I'd like to see you transfer to the bus almost free with your T-money card. After using the subway or bus, you can transfer to another mode of transportation almost free of charge. Taxis are excluded. Find out more about it. You can enjoy Seoul more conveniently.
You have explained something to me that I was puzzled about. When I was on a bus from Changuimun Gate back down to Jongo, I was not charged (I think). I thought maybe I had tapped on incorrectly, but maybe it was because I caught the subway earlier in the day? Either way its a great system! 🚊🚌
@@CatherineGrenfell When getting off the bus with a T-money card, be sure to tap the card before getting off. If so, otherwise the longest distance fare for that bus will be charged to your T-money card. As you know, the T-money card can be used as a payment method when purchasing items at convenience stores or taking a taxi. 😎
Korea and Australia are very different landscapes. Korea is so green and the mountains so high, that's very different to what I am used to. But both places however have lovely people!
Most clean, comfort, easy, cheap, quiet, and so on........ in the world
Agree 100%

Thanks for your comment and the tip on the t card. I figured someone would help me if I got hopelessly lost!

Interesting, I only came across one display monitor during my trip. But overall so impressive, clean and efficient!
우리어머니같으셔요. 한국오신걸 진심으로 환영합니다. 즐겁고 행복한 여행되시길빌께요. 건강도 잘챙기시고요❤❤❤

The T-money card is so cute. You are so cute, too.
Very brave and wonderful. Make a lot of good memories~!
항상 웃는 미소 아가씨 한국에 오심을 환영합니다
Thank you!
Very nice vlog. It brings my memory back in April 2024.when i was dealing with Naver maps in Seoul metro too.
Thanks for your kind comment. Yes, Naver maps are great, but they took me a while to get used to and was hard for me to search for something if it was not a major tourist destination.
Welcome😊
I subscribed in Seoul ^^
About 1,400 won in Korean won is about 1.52 dollars in Australian dollars. Enjoy your trip to Korea
Good thank you ❤
You are so confident and with a smile on your face. Keep going !!😁🫶🏻💖
😍😍😍

@@hydropascal thank you, yes that makes sense newer vs older.
03:20 you look so happy hahaha
Thanks, I am always happy when trying out something new :)
A lot of people just walk though the subways when it’s raining and never get wet.
I didn't know that, smart idea!
Good to see you trying to wotk out how to get around Seoul by train😊
Thanks, it got easier as the trip went on.
Great vlog and your beautiful smile 🔥🔥🔥🍀
Thank you 😍
정거장마다 영어 방송이 나오는데 발빠짐 주의는 영어가 안 나오네요 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 혹시 아실 지 모르겠는데 지하철 탈때 문이 열리고 탈때면 "Mind the gap" 하세요 ㅎㅎㅎㅎ
Wow, I did not know you had to say that. I would never remember! I am always concentrating on if I am getting on the right train, on the right platform. 🤣

Japanese Yen, Korean Won
Agree, my mistake!
5:40 Yen? nono~~
Won!
Yen >>> Japan
Won >>> Korea
Agree, my mistake!
종로에서 조금만 걸으면 명동인데.. ㅎㅎㅎ
Agree, I walked back! But was so excited to try out the subway system :)
pretty sister sbuscibe❤❤❤
If you need help. Just ask people around you. They try to help you as they can. Korean hungry to help other people.
Agree, many people helped me and made my trip more enjoyable. I was especially grateful to all the Koreans who offered to take photos for me. 😍📸
Its not YEN. Its WON.
@@dannyarcher9410 agree, my mistake!
호주에 비해선 많이 부족하지만 편안하고 좋은 여행되시길 바라요❤
Korea and Australia are very different landscapes. Korea is so green and the mountains so high, that's very different to what I am used to. But both places however have lovely people!
부족하긴 뭘 부족해? 국토가 작은거 빼면 더 편리하고, 더 안전하고, 더 싸고, 더 모던한 동시에 역사유적도 훨씬 많고, 산, 바다 다 있고... 훨 낫지
땅 덩어리 작은것 빼고 세상 그 어디를 가 보세요.한국만큼 살기좋게 인프라 갖춘곳 없어요
부족하대 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 땅덩어리와 야생동물이 부족하긴 하지.
야만족 시스템 체계와 비교는 사절😢
사랑해요
응원합니다
