It’s time for
Wonderful Adventure Now Korea:
The Garosu-Gil Edition.
[music]
Getting here is pretty easy.
You’re gonna go to Sinsa station, exit 8,
and you’re just gonna walk straight for two or three minutes,
and then on a street pole,
you’re gonna see a sign that says Garosu-gil in English and Korean,
hang left, and you’re here.
That’s it!
Now to go over the ground rules.
Number one: we have to take a picture of ourselves
WANKing in front of Korean icons.
Number two: we have to compete to find
the most creative use of Engrish.
And number three: we’re gonna have a random showdown challenge
in which the loser suffers dire consequences!
BU HWA HO HO HO
So Martina won both the Engrish and the icon challenge last week.
Yay!
Totally unfair. Why didn’t you vote for me?
The vest. THE VEST.
So Garuso-gil is known to be the Paris of Korea,
but we’re not really sure if that’s a fair representation.
Yeah, it’s definitely more like the Europe of Korea,
because it has like a mix.
Or like the Koreanized Europe of Korea.
But it is very picturesque and they have a lot of
different types of food you can get here, like
German, and French, and Japanese, and Korean, so.
And this is also where we interviewed Clazzi!
Yeah, he lives in this neighborhood!
Let’s not tell everyone that so they can stalk him
and be like “Clazzi! Clazzi!”
He lives right here. At the 7-11.
Hey, that’s not true.
‘Kay let’s go. I yell in your ear!
[music]
So I found my Engrish of the day.
Cafe Coreano. Making you more easy
with Cafe Coreano, from richness of broad cup,
Brimfullnesss of milk bubble, likely to overflow,
harmony with strong and sweet scent of coffee,
taste and sweet natural syrup,
could feel relish of fresh milk
Special coffee in beansbins.
For special times, make it Coreano times.
You made that last part up.
But it’s a good reference!
This is my Engrish choice of the week.
I’m gonna go for the stir-fried web food octopus.
I don’t even know what they’re trying to say with web food.
I’ve never seen this anywhere in Korea.
Simon: Isn’t web food like... -Internet? I don’t know.
Internet stuffs?
And I’m picking my idol of choice--
Beautiful Garosu-gil, home of many fashion places,
and also home of many piggies.
I don’t know why, but we’ve seen these pigs everyewhere,
all over Garosu-gil.
It’s like some kind of pig trend happening right now? Hmm...
Diet Pigis?
--I’m going for Blacksmith Micky.
It’s not just Micky, it’s Micky all dirty and grimy
because he’s a dirty, filthy, pizza-making blacksmith.
Simon: Are you saying that he’s dirty?
Simon:JYJ fans are gonna kill you for that!
I mean sexy dirty.
Don’t listen to Simon.
Simon: Dirty. I would never say that about--
Don’t listen to Simon.
[music]
So, four hours have passed by,
and I kinda spent all of our money
including our savings, and I also
sold Simon’s left kidney.
But I bought every single hairclip in the store,
so I guess we’re not eating supper tonight.
Sorry, Simon.
But hey, you know what?
Since we’re BFFs with Se7en, -Right!
we should go to his chicken restaurant. -Let’s totally do that.
That last part was a lie.
But let’s go to his restaurant anyways. [nananananana!]
I also didn’t buy a single hair clip. [sad nananananana...]
Okay, so we’re here in front of Se7en’s chicken restaurant.
This is supposedly one of a couple different locations.
The one in Garosu-gil is very easy to get to.
Basically, as soon as you get onto Garosu-gil,
where we showed you before, walk a little bit down,
and you see it on the second floor of your right very, very soon.
So that’s where we’re going right now.
Okay, so I’ve clearly picked my idol.
I’ve got Se7en here.
I’m at Se7en’s restaurant.
This is the exact spot that GD and Big Bang took their pictures,
and right now for some reason, Se7en’s got his hand on my ass.
That’s totally not cool, but you know who you’re gonna vote for today.
Se7en! -Micky!
[music]
Okay so this menu is totally in Korean,
but we’re gonna try to give you a little explanation of it now.
This side is basically the traditional JjimDak,
so it’s basically chicken, maybe potatoes, sweet potatoes,
and a little bit of noodles in it.
And this side is like Se7en’s special version of JjimDak,
so it comes with bean sprouts, and it comes with an egg,
and it comes with ddeokbokki,
but we don’t like beansprouts that much,
so we’re gonna go for the traditional one.
Sorry, Se7en. It’s not that I don’t like your chicken,
I just don’t like that many beansprouts.
Let’s order!
Yogiyo! (Over here.)
Banmari. Ne, me-oon mat.
Gogi bahp du ge? -Ne.
And pa-in. -Ne.
Okay, so our JjimDak has arrived.
This is actually one of my favorite meals in Korea.
It’s been stewed for a very, very long time,
these pieces of chicken, right here,
and they really fall off the bone.
They make it really spicy with lots of peppers everywhere.
It’s got a lot of pieces of dak,
with delicious stewed onions,
and I think it’s time
for sexy Korean food music.
Bow chika bow wow~
[as requested, sexy Korean food music]
So while we were eating,
something terrible happened.
I could usually handle my spice,
like a Dothraki Man Warrior, okay?
Now, this is supposed to be really spicy.
You can see all the leftover peppers that we have here.
And I was slurping up a noodle, and the noodle,
right when it hit my lip, it whiplashed,
and sprayed a little flicker of sauce right into my eyeball.
While I could usually handle my spice,
I look like a wimpy, sissy foreigner,
who is just all slobbering and crying from the heat.
He looked like he was crying,
and they even brought him over napkins,
and they’re like “It’s okay, wimpy foreigner.”
And I was like “teeheehee”.
And I see them all smiling and giggling at me in the back.
And it’s totally not fair.
I could totally handle my spice like a man, alright?
Yes, you could.
It burns a lot, alright?
It’s okay little hamster.
[music]
So we’re here at Mug For Rabbit.
It’s actually one of our favorite coffee shops in Garosu-gil.
It seemed like, three years ago, before we came to Garosu-gil,
it was like a lot of small coffee shops,
and small places that were like their own fashion
and like their own cafes.
But now it’s being overrun by all these big franchises.
All these shops you can find in any mall in Korea.
Garosu-gil’s supposed to be really fashionable and trendy and whatnot.
Anyways, I still would recommend coming here,
just make sure that you look for, like, little gems.
Like, look it up online.
There’s lots of bloggers that will talk about their favorite places.
Mug For Rabbit? We like it here.
This is their homemade organic carrot cake,
and Simon’s trying a strawberry cupcake,
which we’ve never had before.
I’ve never had this before.
I hope it’s gonna be so good.
And their coffee is good.
So, I do recommend Mug For Rabbit.
We did not get paid for that.
No, this is just personal opinion,
This isn’t like some paid advertisement.
We SHOULD get paid for that.
Hold on. Hey, Al.
[music]
[ALARM]
It’s the Plastercine WANK-Off Dessert Challenge!
Okay, so there are a lot of pastry shops and dessert shops
here in Garosu-gil, so we figured that an appropriate challenge,
would be similar to our previous anteater challenge.
This time we’re only gonna be using desserts.
We’re asking you guys to name any dessert.
The fifteenth one, we’re gonna pick,
and we’re gonna make, out of playdough.
What if it’s something really lame?
What if they’re like “croissant”? - “Ice cream”.
And it’s just like a scoop...
I guess we could do it any creative way we want.
I guess so.
We’ve got our colored playdough here.
It smells wonderful. It smells like childhood.
Okay, ready? I’m gonna ask.
Okay, you’re gonna tweet it.
Okay, and go. -Tweet!
Banana split, one.
Cheesecake, two.
Tiramisu.
Ice kacang.
Apple pie.
Cheese cake.
Cheese pie.
Pat bingsu.

Cheese cake.
Can’t you guys come up with more desserts than cheese cake and banana splits?
Tiramisu.

Crepes.
Sherbet.
Blueberry cheese cake. Fifteen!
[music]
Blueberry cheese cake.
And we’re starting the timer, and.. go!
[intense crafting music begins]
This is terrible playdough.
This is terrible, terrible playdough.
Oh my god, I’m starting to panic.
Oh shit, there’s some red in here. No!
This fork is looking... ugh. Ahh~
[TIMER SOUNDS]
Martina: Step away from the cheese cake.
Martina: We’re done. -We’re done.
Martina: It’s done, but I didn’t put it on the plate.
Simon: It doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter.
Simon: Step away. Step away from the cheese cake!
So we’re setting up the tweet now.
I’m the top one, Martina’s the bottom one.
The first person to thirty votes is gonna win.
Twitter, help me out.
You better not let me down like you did last time.
Bottom.
Yes!
Bottom.

Okay! It’s twenty-nine to ten.
I could totally pull a come back here.
I’m so ready for this.
What does it say?
No, wait. That doesn’t matter.
Simon, what does it say?
It doesn’t matter...
Bottommmm...
Woo! I crushed him!
She didn’t even have blueberry sauce!
She had this blue frosting crap.
Thirty to ten!
I made a blueberry cheesecake.
You know why? I’ll tell you why. You made a faux pas
with your picture. This looked like a severed chicken foot
bleeding out all over the table ground.
Chickens don’t bleed purple!
Shhh.
I lost a challenge again.
Okay, Simon, roll. Roll the punishment.
Okay, here I go.
I hope it’s terrible.
Oh, you’re kidding me.
What?
[angels sing from on high]
Yes!
[Simon impromptu swan dance and accompaniment]
That is totally unfair.
I rolled a six. SIX!
One, two, three, four, five, six.
No, this is totally unfair.
You must have rigged something. Let me see this.
Look, you shake it. You shake it. Whatchu got? Whatchu got?
I got a three.
The dice knows that I should’ve won the challenge.
I got a three again. Simon, did you like program in six?
Oh, I got a six.
Oh, they turned off the lights on us.
Oh god.
They’re like go away, screaming foreigners.
WINNER!
Loooser~
‘Kay, let’s go!
So that’s it for this week’s edition of Wonderful Adventure Now Korea.
Don’t forget to vote for your favorite icon and for your favorite Engrish.
And I think next week Simon’s gonna continue losing,
and hopefully actually get a punishment next time.
It’s not fair that you got a six!
And don’t forget to subscribe for more WANKing adventures.
Take it away, Spudgy. That doesn’t work, does it?
Spudgy could WANK somewhere outside...
[horrible screeching brake sound of death]
OH GOD. Fix your brakes!
Ugh. Video ruiner!
