It's time for Sad Time Adventure Now Korea.
The "I'm So Lonely" addition.
As a lot of you might know, Martina is in Canada now on family matters, and I'm here in Korea alone for a week.
We've never been apart for this long. And I'm really sad about it. So sad that I think a bird actually took a s*** on me.
So what I could do is show you really cool things to do in Seoul if you're by yourself, but I don't really feel up to it.
I'm just gonna eat a whole bunch of ice cream because Martina's not here to say "no."
You can't stop me, Martina, if you're watching this!
I'm gonna go eat all the ice cream I can find. I'm gonna eat it by myself, I don't need to share.
With anybody. 'Cause I can't...
nanananana...
So I'm starting off my sad, miserable journey today in front of Baskin Robbins.
I don't need to show you directions to Baskin Robbins because Baskin Robbins are pretty much everywhere in Korea.
So, I'm just gonna go inside and try some of the Baskin Robbins flavors and ...
Yep.
That's what I'm gonna do.
Okay, so screw Baskin Robbins.
Number 1, when I walked in there, all I saw were couples and happy people and I know that
it clearly wasn't a place for me at the time.
And number 2, as soon as I walked in, the guy was like "No pictures and no video."
So, Baskin Robbins, I'm not gonna promote you because you're a big franchise anyway.
So we're just gonna go to the indie ice cream shops, cause those are a lot better and...
make me feel less sad...
nananana...
Now we're gonna go to the other awesome indie ice cream shops. We're gonna start by giving you directions
from the Eat Your Kimchi studio, which is right up there. There's a Monster Pizza right there.
Or if you don't know where Monster Pizza is, Hongik University, to the very right...
and you just walk down that street toward Sangsu Station, you pass the Eat Your Kimchi studio,
and you'll keep on going, and I'll show you how to go to Fell + Cole from there.
Let's go.
Um, there are pictures of women in their underwears around here.
When you see the 7-11 around here, you're gonna turn right at the corner.
And here it is.
It's actually not the best name...
But here we are!
So this place has a lot of really awesome flavors.
Martina would probably suggest that I get something like just a plain vanilla ice cream.
You know, in fact, she'd probably be like "Don't get anything" but I'm not listening to her suggestions today.
I'm gonna be all decadent and get my two favorite flavors.
The dark chocolate chips one -- it's not just dark chocolate chip, it's not one chip
it's multiple chips.
And on top of that, the cream cheese.
Cream cheese gelato.
I never thought that would be good, but actually it's really delicious. And I'm gonna show you how delicious it is.
Gamsahamnida.
Ooh~
♪ Ice cream, Ice cream. I melt you down like ice cream. ♪

There's something really interesting with about a Korean mentality. It's called "Shiwon-hada."
The idea is that, if it's hot in the summertime, you should eat warm food so your body tries to cool itself down.
And in the wintertime, when it's cold, then you should eat cold stuff like ice cream in order to warm your body up.
I don't really believe that at all.
I'm not eating ice cream because I wanna warm up, I'm eating ice cream because I'm sad.
I feel sad. And ice cream feels happy. So hopefully I can feel some more happy's.
These people aren't as mean as Baskin Robbins. So I really like them.
When you come to Korea, come to Gelati Gelati.
'Cause these people are nice people. And the ice cream is delicious.
Can't talk and smack at the same time.
So, now that I have 2 scoops of gelato in me, I could be like "Hmm I should probably go back and get work done."
But I'm not gonna. Because no one is here to scold me and tell me not to.
So I'm gonna go get some ice cream.
We're gonna go to Fell + Cole, which is another awesome, delicious ice cream shop.
And we're gonna show you how to get there. And by we,
I mean just me...
I actually don't remember how to get here.
I think it's somewhere this way.
Wait a second...
Is this right here?
Okay, no. That's not it, right there.
It's down one of these streets.
Is this it? Yes! Okay, this is it.
So, we gotta turn down this street.
Not the first left, but the second left.
I would like to give street names, but Korea doesn't really operate on street names.
It's more just like "landmark." And I almost ran into a truck.
That's how depressed I am. I almost committed suicide by moving truck.
No!
Why?
What does this mean??
Seriously, this place was so good! How did they close down?
Okay, this is a really sucky day.
Number 1, Martina's not here.
Number 2, two of the ice cream places I wanna go to don't have friggen ice cream that I can eat.
I can't even get down these stairs because of this car.
Yeah, I just rubbed my crotch on you, car. What are you gonna do about it?
I'm pretty sure there's cupcakes.
I'm gonna find cupcakes in my desperate state.
There's actually a cupcake shop that we saw down here.
I don't really remember where the cupcakes are either, so I can't really provide you with directions.
Okay, is the cupcake shop gone also? Or is it down another street?
Okay, we're gonna make a loop around and we're gonna try to find it.
The cool thing about Hongdae and just Seoul in general is that you don't necessarily have to know
where you're going. You can just wander around and stumble upon a cool place and be like
"Hey this is cool, let me try it out."
and find something completely awesome.
Like we did with Fell + Cole before it shut down and some jerk wound up parking their car in front of the stairs.
Is this it? Coco? No, this is not it.
I have to find something to save this day.
Open. 12 pm.
Closed. 10 pm.
I'm right in the middle at 4:20
How do you survive by not ever selling anything to me when I want it?!
Okay, I'm giving up on this day.
This represents how I feel of my life at the moment.
I feel no joy and all the doors are closed.
At least I showed you some atmosphere of Hongdae and had a gelato.
Like T.O.P.
T.O.P, I know you feel, bro.
Solidarity.
