today we're experiencing a 600 year old village
where we will be wearing traditional clothing I'm pretty happy with this if we're not leaving
the building eating traditional food kimchi 100% and taking in the true beauty
of Seoul South Korea I want my house to look like that this is Bukchon Hanok Village
aside from being a cultural experience this is also a very luxurious and expensive one she's brought
us a little welcome sort of tea and snack these are warm these are cold [Music] this stay way
exceeds our usual daily Hotel budget with a cost of over 250 dollars for the night this is so good
[Music]
we've spent the last few days kind of exploring Central Seoul Seoul is vibrant busy here
whole different story it's so nice it's so peaceful it's really just
just before we show you that really nice room in this place we're gonna go get dressed or
changed oh wow oh right in there it's for me yes this looks so fancy they look so big
yeah I don't know how they're gonna turn out this looks like for a really tall person but wait
this is just one piece no there's another piece in there no trousers but it's dress come on
am I meant to wear jeans underneath
Let's uh let's figure a shall we let's figure it out okay let's go
you okay in there? I don't think these are meant to be tied on the front I think normally
when you get a hambo you um go somewhere where you rent them you have to pay for it. It looks alright!
yeah but I don't think that's supposed to be there because my jacket oh maybe my jacket will cover it
someone's gonna be really angry at me in the comments and say what are you doing what are
you doing now it sticks out making it look like I've got a big boulder wait wait wait okay hold
on I'll just do a knot not a bow you're getting pro at this now yeah if you ever need to rent a
Hambok just contact me now this is actually quite cute oh wow it's so nice how does it close?
oh here oh do you want me to give you half of that no oh yeah maybe yeah like that yeah
and I'm just gonna I guess I don't know that the scarf goes
no surely not I'm pretty happy with this if we're not leaving the building [Music]
this place is so nice we're basically overlooking the town but also you can see the skyline of some
of Seoul as well and Seoul is huge we're in a village that's 600 years old now this building
has obviously had some Renovations done to it and it's absolutely stunning on the outside
it's pristine condition and it's so clean this classical music playing this place is so peaceful
and it just feels like you've stepped back 600 years ago it really does it really gives you a
glimpse of what South Korea was like all those years ago it is the perfect marriage of really
old style and all the new fancy facilities that any new style Hotel should be offering and we get
to wear these adorable outfits yes not quite complete but look don't I look like a part of
a summer's movie about something summery the sun shining I love it even though we have pretty much
most of the get up Dylan's missing some pieces our shoes look slightly less match to the outfit
but very comfortable and super easy to slip off look at that today's video is sponsored by vessi
we've been wearing Vessis for the last few months and they have been a game changer many of you will
know that the rain has been following us around in pretty much every country that we've been to
which has not only dampened our spirits but also dampened our socks as full-time Travelers that
carry pretty much everything we own on our backs we need one pair of shoes for any weather we
recently upgraded our old shoes to vessies that are 100 waterproof I can literally skip through
puddles and my feet are still dry but also warm and cozy and in hot weather they stay cool because
of the dymatex technology these shoes aren't only fully waterproof they also have a four-way stretch
which means they're super easy to pop on and slip back off my feet are not actually really the same
width as each other but since these shoes are so stretchy they both still fit like a glove so
it doesn't leave my left foot screaming for help halfway through the day like so many other shoes

the everyday move before we actually head into our private quarters which are just in there there is
a pretty sizable living room area I think there's only one other room that's able to be occupied
within this specific building is very large and you get a lot of space and since there's no one
staying there it's technically now our living room where we are staying the name of this hotel is Bukchon Binkwan by Rakkojae
there is another hotel called Rakkojae that was actually the first hanok hotel ever so
just look at this roof oh my God in here is our Lovely Hotel Suite I would almost
call it yeah because it's quite sizable all the details are amazing like all of
the doors and window frames are this sort of crisscross wooden it's just when the sun
comes through it's this beautiful oh wait hold on oh I think the phone's ringing oh
oh right now oh they're saying subscribe oh okay I'll ask
they've got these Korean writing up here as well do not know what they say but they
do add it to the sort of feel this place don't they but they don't look like the
korean writing that I've seen
I wonder if it's changed or if it just looks different when it's carved out of wood so you can close just
your glass doors and then when you're sleeping at night you can close your privacy
doors too but this room is a lot more Serene this is the sleeping room as you can imagine
it looks like they've just put beds on the floor but that's not at all the case it's
very much a purposeful thing to be sleeping on the floor you can see already that the bedroom
floor doesn't have wood it has Stone so it keeps nice and cool right now it's actually
really really Pleasant on my feet got a coffee machine which is always a tip top Kettle you
might think oh you're gonna do with the kettle well we also get included two pots of noodles
you better believe that's gonna be dinner tonight I've never actually had a hotel provide this nice
cold face masks and then in here we've got the bathroom and you've got all the regular things
like towels amenity kits and if you're thinking oh I've run out of toilet paper on Fret not you
have got not only about a billion in here you've also got an additional billion in here my favorite
part of this hotel is definitely this patio area where you can see all of the sort of top of the
hanok and hanok is basically a house built in a Korean style from the 14th century and this
Bukchon hanok Village itself has a lot of cultural centers and museums that kind of showcase the
culture of the joseon dynasty it's just so nice how the Sun just comes through that window it's
hitting my face oh it's actually the most gorgeous day today Sunshine is so nice today. Let's go this way
the houses on this street are so nice and old looking we have to whisper here
not because the houses are old but just because this is a residential area it's
not really a tourist attraction this is like a really nice make Greenery and like the brown
wood and some white paint and some stone and you think I want my house to look like that
which one is sweet? They are all sweet!
wow what a Vibe yeah you can see all the roofs of the Bukchon houses
I love old things, it's pretty cool is that what you like me?
the base tea is Blended tea with refreshing Jeju Cedar and tangerine flavors wow that's
a strong tea a tea cocktail featuring the Citrus flavor of the Tangerine for
the added fragrant orange blossom water that is good yeah is also a balancing act
um wow then you've got a rice chip potato salad, truffle Gouda, Gijon powder sand and
nurong Chip open canape that was probably not pronounced properly
and the cocktail is a sweet slush type tea cocktail harmonizing Camellia blossoms of
gotcha well with charming tropical fruits oh my God this is so good
always start the day with a nice coffee couldn't get any better than this I don't think dressing
gowns on Cool Breeze I just put my hands down on the floor it's heated can you feel that
yeah oh we've got the breeze the birds chirping the classical music playing in the beautiful
gardens that we're looking at we're in South Korea and we got heated flooring and we got coffee time
for breakfast so wow I don't really know how to approach this like do I add everything together
or do I eat everything separately I don't think I've ever had a breakfast that's been presented
to me with nine nine dishes and a tea kimchi 100% egg undoubtedly some sort of tofu looking
soup rice some what looks like the brightest green zucchini I've ever seen But fried it's
a good spread this stay overall has been really really nice I think we were saying yesterday
this is like top one of the top experiences we've had ever 100% just such a nice place to
stay and this breakfast now even though I haven't tried it yet looks like it's going to top it off
yeah it's been so luxurious but like so refined it's not like bells and whistles on everything
it's just very beautiful luxurious we did the face masks last night as well
I feel fabulous this morning oh yeah good stuff and even though the upstairs section is very sort
of old and Korean style down here is brand spanking new and it looks very fancy designer when we came
down last night they were even projecting like a big big screen did you see that
like beautiful footage of this area and like a beautiful landscape and it's just
such a refined little cafe but stuck in it's stuck in I've already butchered it
oh very nice
thank you oh [Music]
harmonizing Clique I'm trying to figure out my Chopsticks there's so difficult to use they're
flat look you probably can't tell that so this is the flat side and that's the thin side
