[Music]
it is spectacular there is a line to go
in there it's like a famous band like
when I was a little yeah don't mess with
me okay what's up out there Korean
lovers today we are in the center of
Seoul the hustle and bustle in the
famous jungle District hey we're Josh
and Vicki after traveling the world and
moving back to Korea we're on a quest to
show you the history food and hidden
gems of each of the 25 districts or
Goose that when combined make up the
mega city of Seoul hit that subscribe
button and follow along on our journey
let's go gotcha on this Bright Beautiful
Sunday morning we're here at changdokung
one of the five grand palaces in Seoul
just stop at one of the kiosks and
couple of clicks and poof you're ready
to go
all right our first Masterpiece of the
day is in zhangjong this is where the
kingdom would hold Grand ceremonies and
meet foreign dignitaries do you think
he'd meet some YouTubers just kidding
but wow what a place to make a statement
his Palace crowns are huge and this is
the secondary Palace
um for the Kings back in the chosen
Dynasty but let's go over and take a
look and kind of see where we are now
so that this place is called the
it's basically the king's office
[Music]
so this is the second of the two major
palaces right here in this area of
course there's a young book Palace which
is not too far away yeah that's the
largest one yeah this is the secondary
Palace so one Palace isn't enough let's
build a second one right up the street I
think the difference is this Palace this
is the first time we've been here is
that it's really just built like into
nature so lots and lots of trees we have
a mountain on the back of this Palace
kind of protecting it but it is
spectacular the tile work the painting
the architecture it's very peaceful in
here
foreign
[Music]
so here is a secret garden you can go
into this beautiful Secret Garden but
only has to be the guided tour they sell
the tickets here
we're skipping it today but we'll maybe
do it another time I've heard that is
really beautiful I'm 5'2 I had to I had
to bend over I can only imagine how sure
people were back then I guess
wow okay the palace is beautiful even in
Winter I can only imagine how it looks
like when you know the flowers are in
bloom and it's really warm yeah I
definitely want to come back when it's
more beautiful season with the flowers
and everything but it was so peaceful in
there I mean it's it's definitely worth
a trip but we are hungry that has worked
up our appetite yeah we're gonna go now
to ixan hanok Village supposed to be one
of the hippest trendiest uh Street to go
on a bunch of restaurants and Cafe so
let's go check it out
all right so just about 10 minutes away
from that Palace you're going to be
transformed into this honok Village here
in ixandong unlike the other hanak
villages in Seoul here you are easily
able to wander through these narrow
Alleyways and experience how life was
over 100 years ago the biggest
difference is you get a choice of modern
and throwback restaurants cafes bars and
shops
our first mouth warning stop is a
nostalgic trip back in time to the 90s
at Exton stationery shall we
[Music]
music videos from
1999. it's like a famous band like when
I was a little
my childhood memories including the
ultimate comfort food kimchi fried rice
it was so cheesy and yummy Josh scarfed
down his egg wrapped in something looked
like meatloaf that was delicious food my
only complaint was our kimchi fried rice
the yolk wasn't runny
I looked at everyone else's egg everyone
has a runny yolk except for us
regardless it was still delicious we'll
just keep walking
through this maze I don't exactly know
where is where I mean there are many
like a Korean food Korean barbecue
places look at all these tables
so it gets a legit place to have some
Korean barbecue oh look at all this
little place a little hole in the wall
and of course the Instagram places

I mean it's like crazy there's like 100
people in line like there is a line to
go in there go inside to get a picture
