Korean MONASTERY FOOD 25+ Items! + Korean War Museum Tour | Seoul, South Korea
My second full day in Seoul, South Korea continued as my group and I took a trip to the Korean War Memorial Museum and then went to go have some Buddhist temple food for dinner! Come along with me as my friends and I continue to explore the city of Seoul!
FEATURED TRAVELERS:

Jorden:
I love war memorial museums. They’re fascinating to visit. This museum is all about the commemorating the lives lost during the Korean War, which took place from 1950 to 1954. The museum opened in 1994 and aims to teach lessons that prevent war and hopes to lead to the reunification of North and South Korea.
The hall Sam and I visited contained lots of old cars and planes, cannons, tanks, buggies, and cars from the old-school presidents. There were Soviet tanks from World War II that dated back to 1939.
On the third level is the Korean War Room, which contains a memorial to all of the countries that contributes and the people who lost their lives in the war. You can see weapons like rifles, rocket launchers, machine guns, and knives on display, and well as army uniforms from all the countries that participated in the war.
The room also tells you how many people were involved from each nation. 1.8 million soldiers came from the U.S., 36,000 of whom lost their lives. It was all very fascinating and very sad at the same time.
After our museum visit, it was time for dinner! I was loving the food in Korea, so I couldn’t wait to eat! The restaurant serves Buddhist monastic food. We started with 3 appetizers: a rice porridge with peanuts, kimchi soup, and a mystery one that looked like it contained fruit.
The was like a rice-y oatmeal! I loved it! Next was the kimchi soup, which was pretty potent and sour. The huge, cherry-like fruit burst in my mouth and was like a lychee!
Then, we moved on to 4 more dishes: a bean curd, kimchi cucumber, mung bean jelly with lotus fruit, and a green leaf. The kimchi cucumber wasn’t great, so I moved on to the mung bean jelly, which was also pretty bland. The leaves tasted like a non-ripe mango, and the bean curd had small grains in it and was like watered-down mashed potatoes. All in all, it wasn’t my favorite course.
Next, we hit the main course of six dishes: two Korean pancakes, a mushroom dumpling, tofu, vegetables, noodles, and something similar to plantains. The plantain-like dish had a delicious sweet and sour glaze on it. The noodles were cold and stuck together, with mushrooms and a creaminess I couldn’t identify. But it was tasty!
Then was some dense tofu, but it wasn’t very flavorful. The dumpling was nice and earthy. The first pancake was like a potato and onion pancake, while the second was made of lots of veggies. There were lots of herbs!
Next were bamboo with a spicy coating and a crunchy lotus. Then was a soybean paste soup, lotus leaf with sticky rice, 5 types of banchan, and spicy mushrooms. The soup had a rich broth and fermented flavor. I tried the sticky rice with the different banchan. My favorite was the spicy herb! There was also a crunchy, moist kimchi.
Then, it was dessert time! Like everything else, it was very simple and consisted of two dried kiwi slices and a red tea. The tea was more like tinted water, but I loved the dried kiwi. Not my favorite meal, but a fun experience.
Then, we headed to the temple next door! It was very colorful and was decorated with lots of lanterns for the Buddha’s birthday! Everything was lit up and we had a great view of the Golden Buddhas!
I hope you loved coming with me to the Korean War Museum and to my Buddhist monastic dinner! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, leave a comment, and subscribe so you don’t miss my upcoming videos!

Korean BBQ DUCK + DMZ Spy Tour at the South Korea - North Korea Border | Paju, South Korea
On the morning of my second day in South Korea, I got to do something really cool! My group and I headed to the demilitarized zone at the border between North and South Korea!
FEATURED TRAVELERS:
Sam:
Jorden:
Mira:
Diana:
Our first stop was the site of the Kim Sin-jo Incident, where 31 North Korean spies crossed over into South Korea with the intention of killing the South Korean president in 1968. There was a huge shootout and 29 of the spies died, 1 escaped, and 1 (Kim Sin-jo) was caught and snitched on his country. Today he’s a TV star!
Then we headed to a memorial to the chief of police during the assassination attempt on the president’s life in 1968. He’s a national hero! Then, we made our way to Bugak Palgakjeong Pavilion, which offers incredible views of Seoul. You can see the mountains and it’s chillier up there! It’s a great lookout point where you can see this incredible city of 25 million people!
Next, we took a one-hour drive to the joint security area in Paju. From where we stood, North Korea was just across the river, 2.5 kilometers away. On the North Korean side, the land is flat and all the trees have been cut down.
Inside the building is an exhibit showing plans for a bullet train that would connect Seoul and the North Korean capital and link them to Paris! There are also photo displays that detail all of the significant events that have occurred between North and South Korea between the 1940s and the present day.
Next, I headed up to the observation deck on the fourth floor, where I got a much better view of North Korea across the river. It’s a huge open area with lots of big binoculars where you can look out at the neighboring country.
Then, we headed to a military base on the border. You can’t film inside, but it was a fortified area with lots of mines. We had to hand over our passports to enter the DMZ. We were able to take photos and video in certain areas. I took some photos with the guards and filmed inside a super tight bunker. Past the bunker, we walked along the southern border where we saw some nature, some guard posts, an observation deck. Once we were done, I was given a certificate of completion that shows that I’ve been to the border of North Korea!
Next up was the DMZ Experience Zone, where we could try on army uniforms and play with some toy guns. Then, we headed to the spot where the 31 North Korean soldiers crossed into South Korea in 1968. There are statues that show what they looked like and how they crossed over!
After a 30-minute drive, we arrived at a restaurant that sells Korean duck barbecue! They cooked it right at our table. You take the duck, dip it into the sauce, and wrap it in a piece of lettuce with garlic and onion and eat it all in one huge bite!
The duck was nice and fatty and super tender. It had a really nice, smoky taste. The sauce was so good, I could eat it by itself. There were also some incredible glass noodles and delicious mushrooms.
My favorite side was the thick seaweed, but there was also some kimchi that we cooked until it became more pale. It was all so good, especially the vegetables! Every time we’d had something in Korea, it was different from the last!
I hope you enjoyed coming with me on my DMZ spy tour and barbecue duck lunch! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food videos!

Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
Our most recent trip was to South Korea where I embarked upon a two-week adventure without Audrey. Invited as part of a YouTube vlogging trip, organized by KTO, I spent the first week traveling with other YouTubers in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju. My second week included independent exploration of Korea with my good friend and fellow YouTuber David of DavidsBeenHere.
Having lived and traveled in South Korea, the chance to return to one of my favorite countries was one of the biggest surprises of 2019. On this particular trip, I had an opportunity to do many things I had not previously covered including a visit to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone between South Korea and North Korea), a Buddhist Temple Stay and a Korean cooking class. It was almost as if the program designed by KTO knew exactly what I had missed out on before.
Obviously, a huge highlight from the two weeks I spent revisiting Korea was the food. I feasted on all of my favorite Korean dishes including Korean barbecue, dolsot bibimbap, haemul pajeon, tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimbap and many others. I can honestly say that Korean food is world-class and is one of my top 5 favorite cuisines in the world. Aside from trying familiar dishes, I had the opportunity to sample raw Korean seafood for the first time.
While visiting Seoul, highlights included going to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Seoul Tower, Jogyesa Temple and Hongdae. As one of the biggest cities in the world, I barely scratched the surface of things to do in Seoul.
Spending extended time in Busan was my favorite part about the trip with top highlights including a Korean temple stay, fresh fish markets and a Korean baseball game. It was from Busan that we ended up taking a day-trip to Daegu where we enjoyed a traditional Korean market and tried Galbi-Jjim for the first time.
If you want to see more videos from Korea in the future, let us know in the comments what places you'd like us to travel to and what food experiences you'd like to see on this travel channel.
Have you traveled to South Korea before? What was your experience like? Please share your Korea travel tips, advice and experiences in the comments below.

A Trip Along the Han River [Korea Today]
There is a special story hidden behind the bridges of the Han River, the main artery of the capital city of Korea.

South Korea makes efforts to attract more Muslim tourists
17억 무슬림 잡아라...관광객 기도실도 등장
A slump in the number of Chinese coming to South Korea since Beijing's tour ban has prompted Seoul to reassess... and refocus its overseas marketing to attract tourists from the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Our Kim Hyo-sun has more, on efforts to accommodate the rising number of Muslims holidaying in the country.
An executive chef at a deluxe hotel in Dubai introduces halal food to Korea.
Halal is Arabic for lawful or permitted, and halal food is prepared according to religious rules governing what Muslims can eat.
(ENGLISH)
It gives you a more healthy option, and actually it's safety too. There's no any bacteria that grow on the animal when it's raw.
Although the number of Muslim tourists to Korea is steadily increasing,... and reached nearly 990-thousand last year,... many of them have said that limited access to specially prepared food is one of the biggest difficulties they face during their stay in Korea.
The Korea Tourism Organization has decided to try and make it a bit easier for Muslim visitors.
(KOREAN)
We have designated 237 restaurants as 'halal restaurants'. We aim to provide various discounts and great quality food.
A department store in Seoul opened a 49-point-six square meter Muslim prayer room,... with copies of the Koran and foot baths.
As Korea's local tourism industry is hit hard by the sharp decline in Chinese visitors over Seoul's deployment of the THAAD anti-missile system,... , and with a potential market of 1.7 billion Muslims around the world, Korea cannot afford to ignore the needs of Muslim tourists.

Korean BUDDHIST FOOD & Temple Stay at Beomeosa Temple | Busan, South Korea
My third full day in South Korea continued in the city of Busan, where my group and I had the amazing opportunity to stay overnight at Beomeosa Temple just outside the city. Come join me as I have my first overnight Buddhist temple experience!
FEATURED TRAVELERS:
Sam:
Right off the bat, lugging my carry-on up the worn stairs leading to the men’s quarters was tough! There are men’s quarters and women’s quarters. We would sleep in a communal area and share a communal bathroom.
I took my shoes off and got my uniform, which I’d wear for the next 12 hours. They’re almost like pajamas! They’re super soft and comfortable and I loved the color! From there, Sam and I returned to the hall, where we met the supporting monk, who taught us how to do three bows. We were also informed of the temple’s rules.
You have to be very quiet in the temple and there are areas where you can’t speak at all. We also can’t film in certain areas. After finishing our bows, we took a tour.
There are 3 gates to get to the main temple ground area. The first is the one-pillar gate because there’s only 1 row of pillars. I learned that the temple’s name translates to the Golden Fish Temple.
Through the second gate, we learned that Buddhism is different depending on the country you’re in. The gate has 4 heavenly kings who fight off evil spirits. The gates are all different and have symbolic meanings. We also saw a place where the monks will play instruments, including drums, gongs, and bells before the morning and evening ceremonies.
At 5:30, it was time for a Buddhist monk dinner! We dined on mats, traditional-style. We learned where to position our four bowls, chopsticks, and spoon. You’re given some water and then the rice goes into your largest bowl. Next was seaweed-style soup, and the banchan goes into your bowl for side dishes. You have to eat everything you take, so don’t take too much! To eat, you lift the bowl up to your face.
Once you start eating, you can’t talk at all! After you eat, you clean each bowl with the water, wash them, and dry them. My legs started cramping up during my meal, so that was the hardest part!
Then, we went to go see the monks ring the gong. It was very intricate and rhythmic and fascinating to watch! We had to turn off the cameras for the evening chanting ceremony, which is a 15-minute ceremony to end the day. You have to do lots of bowing!
Then we went to another activity, where we had to do 108 bows. They got really tough as they went on! Then, we put together 108 beads into a bracelet. I loved mine! I was going to wear it until it falls off.
After that, it was time for bed! It was basically a big sleepover! Lights out were at 9:30 and wake-up was at 5 a.m. The drums started at 4:30. I slept pretty good except for the mosquitoes!
The morning exercise was a breathing meditation exercise for 30 minutes. We had a beautiful view and it was so peaceful out! Then it was time for a traditional buffet-style breakfast!
For breakfast, we ate in the main dining hall. We had rice, kimchi, vegetables, and more. The kimchi was spicy, while the seaweed was earthy and crunchy. After you eat, you wash your own dish. You have to clean it well because no one cleans it after you! Let your dish dry and place it on the counter.
Next, we walked to a nearby temple. The main temple has 10 smaller ones surrounding it. This one was famous because its monk invented a form of martial arts. There were lots of images of fictional characters and gods. The Buddha is at the very top!
Then we had tea with orange for a half hour and talked with the monk!
I hope you enjoyed coming to Beomeosa Temple with me! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave a comment. Also, please subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming videos!

[NOW] Honoring Patriots and Veterans 당신은 나의 영웅!
Honoring Patriots and Veterans!
당신은 나의 영웅!
In Korea, June has been designated as the Month of Patriots and Veterans to remember and honor those who have dedicated their lives to our country. Related events are held across Korea on June 6, Memorial Day, and we paid a visit to Andong, which was one of sites of the anti-Japanese resistance movement. On a historical street with ties to the independence movement, female high school students transformed the glass windows of various shops to remind people of the importance of honoring the national heroes. In Gyeongju, a two-hour drive from Andong, we met up with students specializing in culinary arts, who cooked up a hot meal to be delivered to war veterans. We take you to meet the students, who are the future of our country, honoring the heroes of the past.
한국에서는 6월을 '호국 보훈의 달'로 지정하고 나라를 위해 희생한 순국선열을 추모한다. 특히 6월 6일 현충일에는 전국에서 다양한 보훈 행사가 열리는데, 그 중 항일운동으로 뜨거웠던 도시, 안동을 찾아갔다. 독립운동의 역사가 깃든 거리에서는 여고생들이 솜씨를 발휘해 상가 유리창을 멋지게 바꾸고, 안동에서 2시간 거리의 경주에서는 외식조리학과 학생들이 도시락으로 감사의 마음을 전할 계획이다. 1919년, 1950년. 우리가 잊지 말아야 할 그날의 이야기를 전하기 위해 뭉친 미래의 주역들. 그 감동의 현장을 찾아가본다.
UNESCO Heritage in Korea (Chinese)
This video highlights Korea's World Heritage sites listed by UNESCO in 2009 and 2010, both tangible -- Royal tombs of the Joseon Dynasty, Hahoe and Yangdong historic villages -- and intangible -- Jeju chilmeoridang-yeongdeung-gut, Cheoyongmu, Yeongsanjae, Namsadang-nori, Ganggangsuwollae.
DISCOVERY OF HISTORIC EARTHENWARE / KBS뉴스(News)
[Anchor Lead]
Earthenware presumed to date back 1500 years has been discovered in Gyeongju, which is home to a cluster of Silla Dynasty's royal tombs. The discovered items have a priceless value, as they feature exquisitely engraved images that have not been found in other Silla relics so far.
[Pkg]
People following a procession of carriages dance and hunt animals using arrows. These images were engraved on an earthen jar dating back 1500 years to the Silla period. The relic was found in the 44th tomb in Jjoksaem District of Gyeongju, where a cluster of tombs belonging to aristocrats are located. It's the first discovery of Silla earthenware featuring drawings. The jar is believed to be the oldest among the existing Silla relics featuring carriage processions.
[Soundbite] CHUNG DAE-HONG(GYEONGJU NATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE) : The relic is very similar to the tomb drawings of Gogureo. It will likely be a valuable material in studying Silla paintings in the future.
Also were discovered two earthenware pieces with horse patterns and some 110 relics used in ancestor worship ceremonies. They will serve as important materials in studying ancestor worship rituals and tomb culture of the Silla Dynasty. The Cultural Heritage Administration has disclosed excavation sites of cultural relics to the public since 2014. But this is the first disclosure of important relics. The administration will use them to study ancient culture and expand opportunities for the public to experience the culture of Korean ancestors.
[Soundbite] LEE JONG-HOON(GYEONGJU NATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE) : We plan to find out more about Silla culture in cooperation with geologists and civil engineering experts.
The Cultural Heritage Administration has also disclosed to the public horse armor that was presumably produced during the same period as the recently discovered relics for first time since its discoveryten years ago.

Our museum visit was an interactive experience! We started on the third level at the Asian Arts, Sculptures, and Crafts area. The museum is massive, with a big, open space in the middle. We saw some beautiful Celadon ceramics that date back 1,000 years to the 12th and 13th centuries.
They have a distinct bluish-green color. There were sculptures of dragons and dogs and even plates. These ceramics are perfectly made, unlike most of the ones made today, which are usually thrown away because of imperfections.
We also saw a beautiful Bodhisattva statue that dates back to the 3 Kingdoms period. Two are cycled in and out to protect them. It’s meant to bring about peace in the people who observe it. There’s a wall display that shows the differences between carved Buddhas in India, China, Korea, and Japan. It was so interesting to see the distinct differences!
There was also a huge, colorful scroll of the Buddha, and an exhibit about the Joseon Period, the last period before the Japanese occupation. The architecture changed due to the move from Buddhism to Confucianism. We also saw an amazing, 10-story pagoda that dates back to 1348!
I was loving this museum! One of the coolest rooms was a hall containing statues of Arhats, Buddhist figures who have reached enlightenment. The statues were incredible!
Next, we headed to a more interactive area where we carved seals, which date back 4,000 years and represent different social classes. I was able to carve my name into the stone with some help from my friend. You have to dig deep with the tool to get a good stamp. My friend helped clean it up a bit to look more antique, made a stamp, and wrote a letter to my wife!
Then, it was time to go eat at Oven Chicken and Beer. We started with Cass, which is a light, Korean draft beer. Food-wise, we started with a chicken salad. It was almost like a refreshing Casesar salad!
Then it was time for the chicken! We got two types of Korean fried chicken: regular and glazed. They were served with some small, crispy fries. I started with a wing of the regular chicken, which was the freshest chicken I’d ever had in my life! It tasted so organic! It blew my mind! I couldn’t get enough of it! It had the right amount of grease and was unbelievable!
Then I grabbed the glazed chicken, which was almost like Chinese sweet and sour chicken. It was sweet and a little spicy. I was in heaven! This one was even better than the first one! Best fried chicken of my life!
Then we got some soy sauce chicken, which looked richer with a brown sauce. The flavor was crazy good and so prominent!
Next, we were served some honey soju, which was sweeter! It was like a mix of sake and beer! We followed that with a shot of soju with a bit of beer. It reminded me of a potato vodka! Then I tried soju on its own. It’s lighter than vodka at only 20% alcohol! It makes you feel good without getting drunk!
I hope you enjoyed coming with me on my National Museum and Korean fried chicken adventure! If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment. Also, please subscribe so you don’t miss any of my upcoming travel/food videos!

Welcome to the Shilla Sheila Kingdom in Gyeongiu, South Korea
Yes, Shilla is really pronounced, Sheila - Wow... I had a kingdom. The wonderful Museum in Gyeongju was extremely interesting with exhibits outside and inside that date back thousands of years. But of course, it was all the precious gold unearthed from a tomb that were my favorite attractions.
