Vadim, thank you so much for this vlog. It’s amazing. I was watching and didn’t even notice how time flew by. Such immersion, the atmosphere is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. You must have had an incredible time there!

Great video. The behind the scene shots were really interesting, but I guess I'm most envious of how people are casually playing go in a park. I'd love to have something like that here as well.

Looks like an amazing trip. I think more videos like this would be a great addition.

Really enjoyed seeing how GO is so integrated into the culture. Thank you for the video

Nice to see videos like this, especially behind the scenes of BadukTV. Would've been great to see more interactions with the players haha

[FloatingSunfish]

Go blogs are always a treat to watch! 😊

Glad you had an awesome trip! There are so many parks like Democracy park in Busan where you can find people people playing all the time. A very lucky find, and it makes me happy to see someone discover this hidden aspect of Korean culture. It's the old men who play in the parks who inspired me to find this channel and learn how to play

What a fantastic video! The BadukTV room looked strangely small. And I respectfully refuse to believe SJS "walked out like a normal person". He must have flown out on a dragon or something equally epic.

Awesome vlog! It's so nice to see go content that's not just games, and game reviews. I know all of us like to do some go tourism when ever we visit a new place :)

[minihry]

Really a great video, here's me hoping for more videos like this on top of your regular content, keep it up!

[adamstozek]

Thats amazing, I have been looking for such content since forever! Great to see how Go i played in Korea

[NorthcenterGo]

Loved this so much, thanks for sharing.

[mikusai]

Really enjoyed this video, great job!

I'd be very interested in an episode or two about handicap go. How to play as either side? I find myself often baffled as black.

[anuzis]

Looks like an amazing trip! Especially that public park where people are playing free. Has anyone heard of a similar park in Japan? Living in Tokyo, the only places i know of are all pay to enter and play, which I gladly do, but it would also be great to know of public parks where people play if they exist.

Really cool video! Appreciate the view into places of the world I can't get to right now, through the lens of a game I'm trying to get better at!
