Exploring Seoul with my New Friend

Today I'm going to be meeting this guy from America who watches my channel, and he offered to show me around. And then we're going to get food at a restaurant. It's going to be very exciting. It looks like it's quite a nice day. I still have to wait 17 minutes until my laundry is ready. Feeling nervous. Oh, it's freezing. Why is Korea so cold? He said he's at the train station. I'm at the train station.

What's so interesting about the traffic light?

It's counting down. Okay.

I mean, this is the ultimate, like, tourist attraction thing right there.

Uh, it looks okay, I guess.

Turn around.

It's just a big gate. Floor's pretty dusty. Maybe you can introduce yourself.

Introduce myself?

Yeah.

All right guys, so my name's Eugene, fan of Daniel, and actually I got a message to all you guys out there. So if you think about it, all Daniel's life people have been trying to fix him, reform him, get him to change. His own parents have tried, right? And if it hasn't resulted in anything What makes you think your comment in the comment section is going to amount to anything? That it's going to change anything?

Electric scooters rental. Now we're in the city. It's very exciting. This is Korea. Wow. I got a tiny beer. Is it okay to walk and drink in Korea? Uh, no, you shouldn't drink at all in public. Oh damn, I was about to open it.

Definitely not on buses or subways either.

Okay, this looks pretty cool. Look, sun setting.

Oh yeah.

We're going to the metal spaceship. This bit looks nice. We're inside of the spaceship.

You know, it's, it's a serious risk here.

Yeah.

We're all living under it.

How many cases?

18 in Korea now? No, it's like 20 now. I think it's like 23 or something like that. They're taking it seriously. They're responding effectively. So far, I'm very happy.

Good job.

But you can see like on every screen they put up stuff about washing your hands. This is a little different, but It's pretty good beer.

I don't think anyone would tell me off. Oh, looks pretty good here. Nice view. We're going up here to see the view of the city. Oh, it's cold. Looks quite good.

Yeah, it's nice.

This one's better, this lens.

Which lens? Oh, the middle one, huh? Yeah, yeah, the wide-angle lens looks Shh, don't tell anyone.

When the wind blows, it's freezing. Whoa, that's a nice view. Yeah, it's pretty steep.

Okay, then in the distance you can see Lottie Tower, which hopefully we'll go.

How'd you know where the tower is?

You can see in the distance. It's hard to see on camera, but it's that strip of lights out there.

See? I think I see it.

Yeah, there it is.

That one.

It's looming over like Sauron's eye over the city. Hmm.

So this is Seoul at night. My face is frozen and it's very difficult to speak right now. My lips are numb, but I came up— Came up here to get you a nice view, guys. Hope you enjoyed it. We're going to have dinner now. We're in a creepy alleyway looking for dinner. I hope he's not leading me somewhere strange.

If it makes you feel better, the street's right there. See, there's symbols.

You can trust me. Safety. It's a trap.

Do you remember how to say table in Korean?

Table? I don't know. Don't put that in, that'll make me look really bad in Korean. Okay.

Yeah, so pretty much he was just asking if you wanted like a tsige or soup with it or any like beer or Or alcohol. Yeah, um, I, I mean, you know kimchi jjigae, right? Yeah, jjigae. I mean, it's up to you. Like, me personally, I don't want a soup or anything. I like— I just want the, the meat. Up to you. Oh, there we go.

A beer would be nice.

Okay, yeah, then, uh, you gotta—

how'd you get a beer?

Yeah, you gotta mark it there. So I'm not too good myself. It's not hard, is it?

You just fry it.

Oh, I guess it's stuck.

Wait, how come they just brought this out? We didn't even order it.

Oh, there's only one choice, that's why. The only choice you have is this.

Oh.

This place is known for its ribs.

I thought he was gonna bring a menu or something. No, there's no menu. Kind of random.

You wanna look up there. There's, um, there's like side dishes you need. It's around the corner behind the, uh—

We have plenty. We've got loads.

There's more though.

Yeah, this is enough.

All right, I'm gonna go up and get some when I finish this.

Okay. I don't understand. We don't have any plates and there's no chopsticks. Weird restaurant. Don't we have plates?

No, not— oh yeah, I gotta get them. Hang on.

What about chopsticks?

Yeah, they're right here.

Oh.

Can you get some for me? I'll get us plates. Okay.

Why is it down here? Hmm.

Here you go.

Thank you.

No problem. See, he said thank you, guys. He said thank you.

I'm polite.

Yeah, some narcissist, huh?

It's completely black.

Oh no, this one's salvageable.

Dinner's ruined. Come on, man, you had to get up to get the stuff. I didn't know he was gonna cook so quickly.

Yeah, me neither.

Oh well. Yeah, they have the same exact same type of restaurant in Japan, just in private rooms, right?

Some have private rooms.

Some are more open.

That sounds amazing. Yeah, I wish we had private rooms. I haven't been to one of those.

Depends on the place.

Sounds awesome. Meat.

Those pieces are huge.

Yeah, they are, but you cut it up.

Big slabs of pork.

Oh, look at that. Yeah, it's not like the bone one you had.

Look at that.

Let me get that to the edge so it doesn't burn.

And you can have as much of this as you want in 2 hours. I'm already full. I'm full after having one dish.

Yeah, we only had one.

I'm full after the first serving.

You're not getting your money's worth.

Yeah, I'm not very suited to all-you-can-eat.

That's the style in Korea. It's usually like these meat places, you drink and you get as much meat as you want.

Film the kitchen.

I have a small request. I'd like to stream for some people in my Discord just when we're going back. Is that all right?

Okay.

Thanks.

It's freezing. We had a very nice dinner. Oh, he's not following me.

Vlogging.

Yeah, I'm famous. Vlogging in Korea. Whoa. So if you're wondering what Seoul looks like at night, this is what it looks like. I guess it's okay. We could do awkward handshake. I have to use this hand.

Hey, nice meeting you.

Nice meeting you too.

I hope you come to enjoy Korea and love what it has to offer.

I'll try.

I hope you had a good experience.

Okay.

See ya.

See ya.

Be nice to him in the chat, guys.

Bye. Which way am I going? Oh, I'm going this way.

You know how to get home, right? Um, yeah, I can help you, but yeah, I can get home.

I've got, I've got internet.

You good?

Yeah.

All right, keep in touch.

See ya. Bye. Time to go home.
