good morning good morning guys greetings from super sunny Busan South Korea I
can't believe our time is expired here man like we just loved Busan this I absolutely
loved it but what we're doing today is we're taking the KTX we are heading from
Busan to Seoul when we came here we took economy class this time we're taking
first class so we're gonna be giving you guys basically a review of the
experience and hopefully we'll have time to grab a little bite along the way so
come join us as we head back to Seoul how's it going today it's going really
good man I mean a little late yeah 6:00 a.m. is late
that's sleeping in paratha it was hard morning but we got here I mean we had
literally like 45 minutes to put everything together and get a taxi and
get here yeah but you know good timing because we have about 45 minutes before
the train leaves so we're gonna see what we do here I mean this is Busan station
is a lot of things here yeah there's a restaurants convenience stores well it
has great restaurants here I mean we've eaten here like three times it really is
super good yeah and I don't know we're gonna sit down or we're gonna get
something at the convenience store yeah see
so guys we're eating breakfast at a traditional Korean restaurant it is on
the second floor and is called cheery mountain we have ordered kimchi jigae
and guys it has arrived thanks David can't wait to try it man so our kimchi jjigae
has arrived and we've been sampling a lot of different jjiages here korean
stews in south korea it's basically what the name suggests
kimchi is the primary primary thing in here you've also got tofu you've got
different kinds of vegetables there's onions and instead of using a soybean
paste spicy or red soup so let's try that super spicy dude super rich and
flavorful I'm gonna try another bite with tofu hmm
I just won't imagine guys like today has been a rush Travel day for me I remember
I like slept through my alarm will go out it was like an hour later than I
want to wake up is just like mad actually get everything ready
let me go outside takes a little while to find a taxi driver I finally find one
we get into the taxi and the cool thing is that I normally don't like my like
drivers to speed with this guy normally just maybe sense that we were in a hurry
and he just got to the station so fast so like now that we're staying down
meeting up it's starting to relax a little bit more just kind of felt
frazzled this morning but um yeah this this food is delicious man it's a super
spicy way to be starting the morning dude this has been the theme of our trip
we've been eating spicy alright Alma's gonna quickly try a couple side
dishes over here we have some fish cakes and mushrooms hmm Thursday I'm because
you can never get enough kimchi that's a side dish here I've been but for 95
percent of Korean meals you know if you are done everywhere delicious breakfast
guys perfect thing to have before get on the train
we can just get on relax we've had our food now they're gonna ask you what do
you think of Busan it was and did you did you enjoy it
I really enjoyed it you know I was super surprised how amazing it was the
second-largest city the things I'll tell you you have to do when you come here
put a busan tower see the view from there ya must do go to the fish market
the fish market is the number one fish market are the biggest fish market in
the country explore the fish mark on the first level
see all the fish then find better you like what you want
yeah actually has a menu we ate sushi which is like amazing sushi it was like
literally sashimi and sabi rice are so good with some soju from beer you
know what else was a must I think like that it just slightly outside of Busan
but remember remember the temples day we did a few days ago wasn't that amazing
that most days it must - I've never done before so it was really cool experience
learning like you know Buddhist culture yeah how the monks live whole time yeah
they share the same room yeah yeah I mean a really cool state there's so much
to do in Busan I mean if you're gonna come here three to four days is ideal to
do everything I'd say and yeah what a great what a great city so different
from Seoul three days to see the city I say four five six to do day trips right
totally agree man hundred percent represent so we found out we are
platform number eleven and we have about ten minutes to get on the train a tip
for you guys if you're taking the train in Korea is be on time be early because
the trains are super punctual Koreans in fact are probably some of the most
punctual people on the planet trains leave on time they arrive on time so get
there early the train waits for nobody guy seriously
you know what o'clock today the escalator was not working air bag that
slot sucks ah actually a scanner works but it's
only to go up yeah should be elevator around here I know
so we're track number 11 yeah we're car number three is our train
we don't have 15 minutes there's no way we're missing this no we were missing
that's actually we have 10 minutes at this point that's it
because I went on a train the other day where people were talking too much
and I got told to be quiet often so in terms of what you get in your seat
there's like a Travel Magazine and it's just different places in Korea that you
can go to and you also have a spacious flat rest your seat moves back have a
tray which you can use for either computer use or for food and you also
have an electrical charge your phone I'm going to charge your electronics
eighty-three thousand seven hundred and roughly like seventy five US dollars one
way in first-class it's not super crazy expensive because
the same thing in Japan Tokyo cycle cost you like two hundred dollars so I'm it's
like half price not even like a third of the price and so we'd leave every ten we
get there ten forty nine so it's for exactly two hours and 39 minutes
so in first class you get a little goodie box and basically a snack box
that's really small but let's see what's inside and so we've got mixed nuts a
pecan cookie and a serviette to wipe your hands washing hands let's try the
nuts
makes nuts a really good we have cranberries we have cashews almonds and
walnuts
there are a couple of cool free perks that come with the first-class service
one of them is if you come over here
first Ponce newspaper certified tinker the best part three
with water and say just press one this bond theory
I think it's hilarious I actually just got the last one
no but ya know Oh oh there we go
oh my god the simple bathroom
toilet and yeah the journey so far has been great we've gone past the sign
we've gone by dega think we're heading towards daejeon now it's about the
halfway mark yeah it's just been a really nice combination of mountains of
rice fields urban places lots of tunnels so yeah the contrast between the urban
scenery and the rural scenery man I'm tired I think I'm gonna sleep well so
there's yourself let's go sit down and have some water
and I will be in Seoul in about an hour
so we're here in Seoul the two and a half hours went really fast I kind of
nodded off for a little bit so it made the trip go even quicker such a smooth
trip such a scenic trip to be honest - I love the change in scenery I know I've
mentioned it before but going from like rice paddies to mountains to sleep towns
to big cities it just keeps your mind engaged you look out the window and
you're fascinated with what you see David and I rented an air B&B
really close to here it's within walking distance of Seoul station we did that
intentionally and so now we're just got to go check our directions on her phone
and figure out how to get to our apartment we got outside of Seoul
station and we're taking a couple escalators down into the Seoul metro
system and now we've got to find exit 12 and then from there we have like
directions in terms of pictures from our Airbnb host so we've got a little bit of
a walk but it shouldn't be too long we are getting so close to the apartment
and what's fascinating right now is that we're walking down an alley basically
and this alley is just packed with restaurants I'm noticing some kinds of
dishes that David and I haven't had a chance to try on this trip such as budae
jjigae there's more kinds of barbecue there's a Chinese restaurant we're gonna
be well-fed even just in our own neighborhood here in Seoul even we
arrive something funny happened though yeah we're a little crazy it's two doors
right there's a door to like the complex yeah and we're putting the wrong number
or we thought we were in the wrong number
we're in the right number we just didn't notice it yeah we do the red they made
this rejection sound yeah it was like nah I couldn't even bother trying the
handle so in the host open the door for us show us that we were correct we came
in we put our code in for this door yeah and is our apartment - bedroom yeah yeah
it has everything we need I mean we've got a couch over here two bedrooms that
means this is the briefest of desks we can do our work but this is how easy it
is to go into each room one foot in I mean this is so I mean I'm sure this
thing cost a lot of money if probably half of mine are for this tiny
two-bedroom probably but yeah we had a great day today
KTX baby it's the fastest way to get from Seoul to Busan you're basically
traversing most of the country you're going
South East to North West and yeah what a trip what a day and we've arrived early
enough that we can go out and still do a lot in Seoul today which is awesome I highly
recommend taking the KTX it's the best way to get around in Korea at first
class is really nice you get a few extra perks a little bit more legroom you also
get free water a little snack box I mean economies just fine too though
but KTX all the way if you're traveling in Korea do it if you enjoyed this video
thumbs up comment below subscribe to both of us and we'll see you with more
adventures from South Korea very soon
peace
