Comprehensible input | First day exploring South Korea

Welcome to a new video, guys. Today

we're going to be learning English here in Soul, South Korea. Right now, we are in Hung Day. This is our first day here.

We're going to be here for about just after New Year's. So, if you guys are here, let me know. Now, we're going to go to that convenience store right there. Get some breakfast. It's about

there. Get some breakfast. It's about

9:00 a.m. I'm pretty hungry. Please like

that design. Smells like pallet cleanser and a tune essential scrub your body chocolate bar dry that mountain foam plan. Okay, now I'm going to open the

plan. Okay, now I'm going to open the door and go in to see you.

We are in an aisle right now. Oh, dude.

Actually, these chocolates are really good.

>> Is that where you could have for breakfast?

>> No, but I had them in uh in Ecuador, but they only had this one, the Oreo one, and it was like $3.50 USD. So, I I feel like it's the same here. It's 4,800.

This is pretty much $4.80 Canadian or 4,8001.

And they have strawberry flavor.

>> Oh, that would be good.

>> Strawberry. Oh, yeah. And two plus one.

That means in Korea you buy two and you get one free. And you have >> Is that one rice? That crunchy

>> this one?

>> Yeah.

>> It looks like it. Spicy mala. Actually,

I would get this, but I don't like Lays like this.

>> You get it for breakfast.

>> I would get it to try eventually.

>> What about this one? That's creme brulee flavor.

>> Oh my gosh, dude. I want to try that.

>> That would be >> It's like a I think it's like a corn puff. Dude, Koreans have so many flavors

puff. Dude, Koreans have so many flavors of chips. Like me personally, I don't

of chips. Like me personally, I don't think their chocolate bar selection is that good. Like this is all they have

that good. Like this is all they have for chocolate bars right there.

>> I personally feel like they lack a lot, but their chip selection is very good.

>> I like like peanut butter chocolates and I don't see much here.

>> Yeah, I want to I want to get that. I

want to try that Mr. Beast peanut butter cup. It looks good. My boys would always

cup. It looks good. My boys would always get the freaking gizzies, bro.

>> Is that even real meat?

>> I don't know. This is definitely not.

Anyways, this is the good stuff right here. Oh yeah, I had one of these

here. Oh yeah, I had one of these yesterday.

>> You could get the big ones, but usually I find the small ones taste better because the big ones are sometimes dry.

Do you want one of these? Tuna mayo.

>> I think I'll get one of these uh Timups.

What flavors do they have here? Or is

that a spam roll?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay, maybe I'll get that cuz it looks like spam and then rice, right?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah, I'll get that. And uh what are you going to get to drink?

>> I got I brought water.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah, >> I'm going to buy water then. Or

actually, maybe I should get a coffee.

Or you can make that banana milk mixture. You buy you buy one of the

mixture. You buy you buy one of the coffee pouches like somewhere over there.

>> No, I'm good. Let's go this way. Do we

need to get anything else here?

>> No, I think that's it. But these are my favorite right here. The Jon buns. This

one's my favorite. No, not for >> Does Yon make them? Like that's their brand?

>> Jon just has like branded food. It's

weird.

>> I think I'm going to get one of these sandwiches instead. What do you think of

sandwiches instead. What do you think of that?

>> Yeah, I'm going to stay with the Kimpop.

But you can get a sandwich if you want.

>> Isn't that called Oniiri? Oniiri is

Japanese. Kimpab is Korean.

>> But they're similar, right?

>> Yeah. Seaweed wrapped rice with something inside.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> I'll sit on this side, I guess.

>> Okay, guys. So, this is what we got.

Leon got an egg sandwich. I got this like ramen kimpop and a tuna mayo. I'm

pretty sure it's tuna mayo.

>> Wait, is it What kind of meat does that ramen have in it?

>> I don't know. I think beef. And Leon got a pork one and a sandwich. So, I know what the tuna may one taste like. The

tuna mayo one is good, but to open it, you have to pull down on that and then pull it all the way around.

>> Why do they make it like that?

>> Just cuz it's easy to open it. A lot of people mess this part up. You just have to pull each end.

>> Actually, you want to know the real reason why they package it like that?

Because it's to keep the seaweed separate from the rice so it doesn't get soggy.

>> But you see that? It just slides out very easily. And look at that. This is

very easily. And look at that. This is

the seaweed and inside is the rice.

I've never had this flavor.

>> Spicy.

>> Nope. It's actually good.

I never knew that about the seaweed to be honest.

>> But it makes sense, right?

>> Yeah, it does make sense cuz it would be soggy. And what people love about this

soggy. And what people love about this is that crunch when you bite it. There's

like a crunch.

That restaurant right there, you guys could find it for me. But this was in a Kdrama, my friend said. Or no, that one on the corner there. One of these two.

What is that?

>> What's >> like a kid school bus? Okay, so we found which Kdrama it's from. It's from this one. I've never Well, actually, I don't

one. I've never Well, actually, I don't watch K drama, so I don't know. But

>> so if you guys have watched that, let me know. I've never watched it. This is

know. I've never watched it. This is

Hung Day Street. Last time I was here, that restaurant right there and the sushi one was not there. The best burger place I found in my opinion is Burgery.

So one of these days we'll go to Burgery. I think there's one at Hung Day

Burgery. I think there's one at Hung Day and there's one in Cchan, but Burgery is like the best honest.

>> Oh, is it like a play on words of Burberry?

>> I'm not I'm not sure.

>> You know the Burberry brand?

>> Yeah. And my friends recommended to me and they said, "Oh, go to Burger. It's

like the best." And I'm like, I find the burgers and fast food in Korea like not my favorite, but oh my gosh, bro. I went

there for like 3 days straight, like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was so good. I mean, just lunch and dinner, not

good. I mean, just lunch and dinner, not breakfast, but it it was really good. I

liked it.

>> What else do you want to try now that you're back?

>> Well, for dinner, uh, we're going to have Jim Duck cuz that's like my favorite inch.

>> I want to try the Korean fried chicken first. So, where do you think we should

first. So, where do you think we should go for that? If we're talking about Korean fried chicken chains, like not like individual restaurants, but chains.

A lot of people say BBQ chicken's like the best. But what is going That's like

the best. But what is going That's like some Korean beauty stuff.

>> Isn't that all of them?

>> No. Hung Pharmacy.

>> Oh, >> actually, I don't even know if they're open. 10:30. No, they're

open. 10:30. No, they're

>> Oh, yeah. They're open.

>> What time is it?

>> It's 10:30 now.

>> Oh, yeah. 10:36.

Okay, we're going to go inside here.

This is a Japanese brand, right?

>> Yeah. And I've always wanted to buy a pair of these shoes, but they're very expensive in like Canada and North America, but in Japan, I heard they're very cheap. So, we're not in Japan.

very cheap. So, we're not in Japan.

We're in Korea, but I'm going to see if they're >> close enough >> if they're cheap here. Yeah.

freezer. It doesn't freeze it, but it

freezer. It doesn't freeze it, but it just keeps it cool. Let's go to the checkout counter and check out Oh, Jinseng.

Beast's brand. I'm sure you guys all know who that is. They only had the peanut butter flavor. I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter. I would prefer the peanut butter cups, but I'm going to try this one and tell you guys how it is.

I'll describe the flavor to the best of my abilities.

I think I broke it in half accidentally on the way there walking.

Okay, let's break it. It feels very smooth in my hands. Like it's just melting. But uh let's try it. It smells

melting. But uh let's try it. It smells

like just straight up peanut butter.

Original price of this 6,500 one, but we paid 1,500. So that was a good deal. And

paid 1,500. So that was a good deal. And

uh it's pretty good. Like there's not really a strong peanut butter flavor.

It's not very strong, but you can taste the peanut butter. You can taste the chocolate. So, it's pretty good. Like,

chocolate. So, it's pretty good. Like,

it's not like amazing, but it's not terrible. It's just tastes like a normal

terrible. It's just tastes like a normal chocolate bar. Would I eat this again?

chocolate bar. Would I eat this again?

Yeah, I probably would. I want to try the other flavors though, cuz I heard people like the caramel flavor. They

say, by the way, some people say caramel, some people say caramel. You

can say it how you want, but I found majority of people say caramel. Just say

whatever you want. Yeah, this is my first vegetable ever, and it's not bad.

This one's good.

Right now we're walking on the sidewalk.

This right here, this part. Yeah, this

is the curb. This right here on the right is a hedge. A hedge. I guess

they're busking or I don't even know, honestly. I'm going to assume she's

they got first of all some key lights and then a bunch of videographers. So, I

assume they're like somewhat famous or popular.
