I have sooo many more tips... Part two?
As always, much love~

Great info with the credit card, that's the same for those of us in Korea who go back to the states or elsewhere and use our Korean credit card while abroad! Regarding cash, I haven't used cash in probably 3 or 4 years!

I'm staying in Mapo-gu for language studies! Glad to hear that it's one of the cheaper areas to be in 🙌Looking forward to a part 2! ✨

This video was exactly what I needed!! Have just arrived in Korea and could use all the advice I can get! Thank you for making so many useful, entertaining videos :) p.s: would love a part 2~~

Thank you so much for your videos. I am mixed Korean and Turkish but lived in America most of my life so although I know the culture and language I am somewhat detached from the daily lifestyle. Your videos are such a good help when I visit. Thank you!

Those are very good tips Megan and the one about freezing the trash in the freezer to get rid of the smell is very useful. 😊

Hey there! Korean Adoptee going to Seoul for the first time April 2023 :) my partner has a gluten and corn sensitivity. I was wondering if you have any tips for folks with food sensitivities? Thank you!

I'd like to thank you for all the tips immensely. Seoul/Ilsan--Apr 11--20 Jeju--Apr 20--24 Busan--Apr 24--28 Daegu--Apr 28--May 7. is our itinerary and I can't wait to meet new people and have more appreciation for the people that live here. So many nice people I didn't expect! But Seoul seems like the city of tourism. Still! I was not expecting it. I learned things from this video I never would have known otherwise! If I run into you I'll make sure to say hi!!

🍊 heading to Seoul April 11-14 🤗 thank you for your tips! Been curious about how currency exchange goes with Korea. This WOWpass is really convenient 🍊

[cedriclloyd]

Excellent video. Your videos really helped me prepare for my trip to Seoul. Been here for 3 days so far.

My best friend is moving to South Korea for work and I’m loving your videos about tricks and tips!! :)

[willablake]

You always have the best tips! Thank you’re amazing

[madisonalbrecht]

This video was extremely helpful!! If you have already made a Part 2, I haven't found it yet, but if not, please do!! :)

[camilanavarrete]

girly you are saving me and my bestie... we are going to south korea next year and we were so lost on what to do and how to do it regarding, well... everything! i'm watching so many of your videos and im now following you on insta. thank you so much, i hope you are very well, take care <3

[manikachauhan]

hey Megan , you are with beauty and brain !! I literally learned so many things at the same time enjoyed a lot and i cant wait for part2 <3

[repmidwest]

Love NoBrand. Those smaller HomePlus Express and Lotte Express marts also have some good markdowns on veg and fruit if you go at night when they bundle and reduce the soon to expire stuff. The expiration date isnt a detonator tho. You can still get a day or two or more out of most things. And you can portion and freeze meat to get the most out of it. ✌

Thank you for the tips. A part 2 would be great, but also a video on how to get Korean classes in Korea would also be amazing.

[MicMic]

I really love this video you are so so helpful! The most helpful tip was the grocery stores. I'm going to be able to get some things. in the next video I'd love the best places to just grab and go get quick meals. I think you may have covered that in your street food tho hehehe but this is so great!

[KitCatForever]

I was stationed at Camp Humphreys in the 90's. I love the RoK and would love to go back. Watching your videos brings back so many great memories.

[AllByNada]

You are a legend! Thank you for all the helpful tips. I’m travelling on a budget so this is making my life easier.
