so in the in most countries you tend to think rubbish bins or garbage bins in a
town make a town clean and I tell you if you were in if you're in Thailand or
Indonesia or anywhere else in Southeast Asia there are rubbish bins everywhere
thousands of them now I've got a water bottle here just crushed it up and I'm in
the centre of what is a basically a seaside resort and I have looked today
and yesterday we've had this same experience anywhere you might put any
rubbish there are no there are no garbage bins on this street there are no
garbage bins down this side Road or down this road there are no garbage bins
outside of 7-eleven or Burger King there are no garbage bins anywhere on this
street if you want to get rid of this plastic bottle you have to search and
search in fact probably the only way you're going to get rid of it is to go
into a shop and pop it in so that begs the question why is South Korea so clean
and it goes to show that having you know will grumble are there were more garbage
bins or no more rubbish cans on the street we can get rid of our rubbish
there wouldn't be so much rubbish on the streets it's not the case clearly isn't
the case because there is no rubbish on the streets here the very odd cigarette
butt maybe the occasional well I can't even find an example I mean there's a
little bit of string but that's that's because they're constructing here
nothing nothing outside of the Burger King and yet nowhere to put your rubbish
so it's not to do with having bins on the street is to do with society people
here obviously don't throw their litter on the streets and maybe because they've
been indoctrinated with it from a young age and maybe because they hand out
fines heavy fines for putting rubbish on the streets but it's interesting isn't
it so next time you're saying our if only
we had more bins on the street there being less rubbish it's not the case
come to South Korea and I'm sure have to really struggle to find somewhere to put
this this bottle one place I won't put it is on the floor because nobody else
does it I wouldn't do anyway but nobody else does it there's no rubbish here you
don't want to sort of make the environment dirty I've never seen anyone
littering here we'll be in here three days now and I see almost no rubbish on
the streets interesting what are your thoughts let me know share the love and
we will see you for some fun in Steve's kitchen very shortly take care now start
the camera up again quickly because I'm on a Market Street this is really busy
and I just wanted to reiterate that point this is a food street it's selling
all sorts of street food very odd maybe little piece that might have blown out
of a hand or out of a bag but no garbage on the streets it's quite
remarkable and also know where to put your garbage so it's not because you
know I still got my plastic bottle here it's not because there are bins
everywhere for you to put your bits and pieces
it's just cleaning preparing there the eel or the hagfish egg fish yeah yeah me
and looks good
now that's fresh thank you come some me da now
well I got your attention quickly should we have some of that would you like to
see us eating that but do you find that disgusting come on we don't mind either
way comment about the garbage though you know more bins makes a place tidier
certainly doesn't here in South Korea I'm gonna have to take this bottle back
to our hotel room take care see you shortly and there's a film crew here
it's only my thoughts do you think they might have got a bigger table?
