and yes, some of the train footage I used is from my trip to Japan not Korea (I ran out of train footage unfortunately) but I hope you can forgive me!

"Don't talk on trains" This- as an introvert, I approve of this.

I’m a Korean who live in Seoul more than 19 years. Well I talk a lot on the train....if u are not too noisy, then it’s fine.

I love how a lot of people assume k-pop fans wanna go to Korea in hopes of magically finding a korean guy that looks like Jimin. I just wanna go for the food....

EDIT: In other words we should all just go to Korea and say fuck other people’s opinions 🗿

I spent a total of two years stationed in Korea. If you REALLY want to experience Korea (or any other destination country), give the larger places a small part of your time and get out into the countryside. The mass transit system in Korea is very efficient and allows one to easily do so. Overall, the people outside the big cities are more hospitable and you get a much better feel for the historical culture. Korea is a very hilly country and Koreans do like to hike among the hills and mountains.
Be aware, though, the South Koreans do take security along the DMZ VERY seriously. Don't go mucking around up there in areas you are not supposed to be in. That being said, I highly recommend a guided tour to the DMZ and Panmunjom, especially if you've never been in the military or stationed in the ROK.
I loved my time in Korea.
