  • @2oqh
    @2oqh ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I liked this video very much. I was wondering why I enjoy the content focused around non-tourist areas so much, and I think it’s because some of the tourist cities are very diluted with foreign (to Korea) culture and attractions. You really get a more authentic experience and are really immersed in a different culture and environment than your own. I also agree that the high-rises are very boring, they lack the personality of older architecture, which tells a story in itself.
    It’s also a bit of a shock with how safe everything seems to be, if you were in the US then your bike would’ve been gone the moment you looked away 😂

    • @2oqh
      @2oqh ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When I was growing up in Korea, my mom used to deliver the yakurt on foot. around year 1977. She went to work before sunrise and came home after sun down. Thank God she only had to do that for 4 years. Such a hard work. She only had one day off per year. That's right. Back then those ladies delivered that heavy bag of yakurt bottles on foot and got only one day off for the entire year. Yuk.
