Good Morning Seoul! Breakfast Hunt Walk in Jongno (downtown)

A morning walk in Seoul, South Korea recorded shortly after arriving the night before. I set off in the neighbourhood I'm staying (Jongno) to find some breakfast.

What I like about your videos is you show your surroundings most of the time unlike other travel vlogers, who show their faces maximum time.

Congrats 🥳 on 89K subscribers Johnny! Well done!! And also happy Easter 🐣!! Hope you’re having a great vacation!! Stay safe! Cheers 🥂

Really looking forward to it, I love seeing the more central Seoul! There is an area about 25 mins (like a suburb) north of Seoul with the most peaceful beautiful homes and gardens. It is called Jeongbalsan Village in Ilsan Goyang. Maybe next trip you can see that area too. As for this trip, I am hoping you will be stopping in Japan too! Stay safe 😃 and Happy Easter! 🙏🐇

nice wide streets, thanks for great breakfast post

Jongno 3-ga... Literally throughout Seoul, the area is a typical old city center that most represented Seoul before the 21st century, and Tapgol Park, located nearby, is literally a sacred place for many grandfathers living in Seoul at this time.. It is the oldest neighborhood in Seoul and the neighborhood itself where the youth and vitality of the past have disappeared. Of course, no one can guarantee that much will change as early as 10 years, affected by the redevelopment boom everywhere

When I lived in Korea, I had an office in the Jongno area.
I live in Toronto now.
It's very interesting that you went to a place I know.
I love the roads I've traveled, the restaurants I've been to, the subways I've ridden.

I recommend "Jongmyo" (the shrine of the kings of the Joseon Dynasty) and "GWANG-JANG" traditional market close to your place.

Of course, Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung Palace are also nice.

Have a safe and enjoy trip. Bye.

i was curious how the neighborhood of our airbnb stay would look like, then i found your vlog.thank you🙏

[aliciaprendajimenez]

Thank you for the video, I'll be staying in that neighborhood during my next trip to Korea, it's great to know more about the area and the places I can find. Definitely, I'll be eating breakfast from combinis at the hotel 😅

Nice walk. Glad you got something good for breakfast. Thought you might end up at McDonald's. Congratulations on 89K.

Why do so many of the buildings there have a step or two at their entrances? It's the opposite of how we do it in North America where street level building entrances are level with the outside sidewalk to accommodate those who might be in a wheelchair. Are there occasional rainfalls there that flood the streets, so they have designed newer buildings to have their entrances raised above the level of the sidewalks?

Hey Johnny thanks for giving us a preview of Toronto in 2050🎉😂

Nice tour looking for breakfast. What I don’t understand is if you speak the language, why not ask any locals where to have a nice meal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so envious that you can understand and read the language… looking forward for more of your videos.

That shop that you had your kimchi jjigae breakfast is just next to the hotel which I'll be staying in Oct. Lol. From your vid, I see that some of the shops at the street (Supyo-ru), where my hotel is, have been changed and are different from what's shown in Google Street View. Tks for the vid. 👍

Johnny, the next time you stay in a place like Seoul, if you need to have a a standard Western breakfast, _you need to stay in a Western-style hotel_ .

How's the jet lag treating you? We went in 2019 for a friend's wedding. With the 13-hour time difference, we hardly slept and were exhausted come lunch time.

These alleyways aren’t designed for tourists?

The very likeness of Toronto and very much like Spadina Avenue, now we know why they feel so at home on Spadina.

[elainenunes]

The city looks a little tightly packed with buildings a possiblibility for a serious fire hazard.

I guess most Koreans eat breakfast at home. So, food establishments open late. You should have tried a Convenient store
