Seoul is Amazing! 🇰🇷 - Korean culture and history amazed us!

Jogyesa Temple || Gyeongbokgung Palace || Bukchon Hanok Village || War Memorial of Korea

We spent the day exploring the historic and cultural centers in Seoul.
We learned so much about South Korea... its religion, architectures, traditions, and so much more!

It's amazing how South Korea went from a really poor country (and almost losing the war to North Korea) to a really prosperous and rich country. All thanks to the hard working people of South Korea and all the soldiers from all over the world that came to help South Korea gained its victory.

Thanks for watching!

Just few days ago the Korean government ordered officials to find ways on send masks and covid-19 test kits to the countries that helped us during the Korean War. We still have not forgotten the help we received, and we will not forget.

Hi guys ! South Koreea is the best and very intreseting country ! I'm in Virtnam ...Ho Chi Min ! Take care guys !

the end of the roofs on the Korean traditional buildings are slightly curved because this allows the sun to keep the wooden beams underneath dry. Otherwise they would have rotten and not survive the amount of time that they did. No metal nails are used to keep the roof together either. It's quite fascinating if you know a little about Korean architecture.

Ive been watching a few of ur videos, its so nice to see how considerate you are for the residents at Bukchon village. As a korean living in the west, i get excited when visiting traditional places in korea but i know we need to b respectful to those residents who are suffering from noise pollution. Thank you for ur consideration and kind hearts!

Wow, knowing more about the war in Korea is amazing. Very informative guys. Keep it up

[dianegreig]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!!

The reason that the buildings of the palace built one step above ground is because of the Korean weather.
In summer of Korea, It rains so hard and soften the ground. So many traditional 'novel' Korean buildings were built upon the footstones.

I hope you guys come here again in Summer and fall. It would be fantastic with much nice weather.

25:20 almost cry at this part. Fight for freedom never really thought about it. respect to all the veterans.

Westerners may be difficult to distinguish, but in Korea, China, and Japan, there are subtle differences in color and shape in classical structures.

Very nice. Just one comment though. I think you did a great job at trying to get people to really know how important it is to visit places like the War Memorial Museum in Seoul. This is just a personal thing for me. I wouldn't comment about at the entrance and looking out at pointing out "some kind of monument". I think you really diminish the point. I had so little knowledge of the Korean war....but I learned so much from there. Especially about how the museum was actually the purpose of the "some kind of monument", how the flags are displayed the way they are. Please, I'm not trying to be negative, but your video skills are really good, and you show a great deal....I just hate for it to be lessened by some dialog. OK. Off my soap box. I do still thank you for sharing this. You brought back a great day I had spent there.

[toodledoo]

And thanks for your insight about the war memorial museum :-)

A minor correction on the year of liberation from Japan is 1945, not 1948. S.K. gained its independence immediately after the surrender of imperial Japan in August 1945. Two separate governments, North and South Korea were established in 1948,

i loved this video. best tour video I've ever seen. keep it up!

Bukchon used to be where all the big houses were for the noblemen. The hanok village you see there now is a 1930s version of more clustered or moderate versions for the average people.

I am not good at English, so I am writing comments using a translator. Thank you to our ancestors who sacrificed their lives and sacrificed a lot for Korea's independence from Japan. If they had not become independent, the current k-pop, k-drama, and k-movie would have been known to the world as j-pop, j-drama, and j-movie, and the efforts of Koreans would not have been recognized and always lived discriminated against by the Japanese. I have many Japanese friends now, and I can forgive the past of the war, but I can never forgive Japan for teaching history to students without properly admitting that it has never slaughtered countless Koreans and Chinese.

The reason why the roofs are curved that shape is, to dry moisture by sunlight! You can see the different angles from other countries that have different latitude

14:00 that is so funny..haha guess you know what tha is now
