Morning guys, I'm here with Sunny! (Sunny) Hi!

Present continuous

To-infinitive

tour of a whole bunch of different places in Seoul. I really want to give you guys some ideas of things you can do if

you just have one day to spend in Seoul so we have like an

action-packed day full of tons of fun stuff to do so I hope you enjoy. We're starting off our day in

Insadong which is one of my favorite places in Seoul it showed it to you guys before

I'll probably be back here lots because there's tons to show you here

But we're having a yummy vegan lunch to get some energy for a busy day

It looks so delicious is the buffet so we just took a huge plate a little bit of everything

I can't wait to eat it so hungry. Sunny just taught me that the reason

Chopsticks are metal in Korea is because back in like the old days people would try to poison the king

But if you had chopsticks made out of gold or silver

When they touched the poison the chopsticks would turn black, so you would know if your food was poisoned. That's so cool

I had no idea I always wondered. The owner of the restaurant said that they're really popular with Canadian tourists

She was like "Oh lots of Canadians come here."

So we are gonna head to Gyeongbokgung Palace now

I've been there before I really want to wear like a hanbok and walk around there and take cute pictures

So I will do that someday, but today. We're just gonna go there and explore

Vlogged there before. I don't think I have, it was one of the first places that me and my husband went to

together when we came to Seoul for the first time together, so I really like it it's a really beautiful area

And there's just lots to explore the palace is huge

Welcome to Gyeongbokgung Palace, it's really big guys

We're gonna buy tickets and go inside so I can kind of give you guys like a an overview of the place

We have an hour to kill and we're gonna watch like a special performance out the main gate

I've never seen it before but everybody dresses up in like the traditional Korean wear. Everybody's walking around in a hanbok

called but you'll be able to see lots of people in the background wearing them. It's really cool

This is where the king sits and like watching all of the like ceremony and everything they're like three entrance oh

So the closer you get, like the higher your status. (Sharla) Ohh! (Sunny) Yeah, if I'm not mistaken

I love just walking around and going through all the different passageways and

(Sunny) The palace are big (Sharla) Right! It's huge!

Sunny was saying that there's like different levels of gates and each class of people is like allowed so far

So the king was allowed to like right into the middle of the palace, but the lower-class citizens

Would be further out outside of the gates oh?

And they have special entrances for maids or like servants.

There's not that many people here, you'd think there would be lots the weather is so nice

That you really can explore it and basically have really big areas to yourself to take photos and stuff, which is really cool

1300s and apparently they're restoring it bit by bit

to its original state, but it's in a really nice condition

I'm gonna miss this when winter is over. I love the heated soy milks that you can get at a convenience store

The ceremony is about to start at the main gate

Very deadly what the password is 90 times and now is changing

That was cool. I felt like I was in some like historical period drama

That was neat! I've never seen that before I didn't realize it was such a big performance yeah

I've just seen the guys like dressed up guarding the gate

You can kind of see a little bit of it from outside the palace

But it only cost us $3 to enter so you might as well come in and explore the place because it's so cheap

In Myeongdong? Near Myeongdong area, and we're gonna do some shopping

(The English translation of the coffee shop is 'It's Raining on Paris' Thanks for the info Kevin!!)

We're at the cafe now with a really long French name that I can't pronounce. It's so cute. It's such a tiny little cafe

and we've ordered some vegan goodies because we were craving some sweets, and I got a

This is so good. I love anything like earl grey flavor

Mmm this is so good. (Sunny)This is really rich

(Sunny speaking Korean about the baking courses)

That cake was so good. I've never tasted anything like it

I want to explain it as like a really light cheesecake kind of texture like it was really cold and kind of like

but it was Earl Grey flavored which is awesome and

It's really healthy and not like overly heavy or sweet or anything

It was delicious with coffee so really recommend that little cafe. The lady working in there was really sweet

And they have cooking lessons so me and Sonny were considering taking a baking lesson

So we could learn how to make that Earl Grey cake

Skywalk, and I've never been there before and it looks like you can get like a really nice view of the city from up there

But it's a little less well-known than say like

So we're gonna head there now, and I'll show it to you guys

We've arrived looks like there's lots to see here there was such a nice view on the way up, but it looks like this whole

Area that we can explore so go check it out the view of the city so nice guys

Can't wait to show you. I hope my camera will pick it up nicely

Have a beautiful view of the mountainside

But if you go to the opposite side you can see the city and all the high buildings and everything

You can actually see Namsan Tower in the distance which is the other high viewing point here in Seoul
