- You want to travel somewhere beautiful with your bike, but you're worried that your pride and joy will get damaged in transit. Well, fear not because in this video, we're gonna give you some top hacks on how to keep your bike safe and make unpacking it and rebuilding it easier on the other side. (relaxed music) Hack one, keep packaging.
Polystyrene tube insulation is really useful protection for the tubes on your bike. It fits over really easy and stops them getting scratched. And bubble wrap is really handy too. These things, well, they don't weigh anything at all really so they're not gonna add much to the weight of your bike once it's packed up http://oncasinogames.com/skrill-casinos/. Packaging like this comes with all sorts of appliances, but if you wanna get your hands on some and don't have any, then your local bike shop will probably be able to offload some for free to you as well. Hack two, mark your seatpost. Now if you're traveling with your bike, you'll probably have to remove your seatpost so that it fits into a box or bag. And this means when you put it in the other side, you might not remember the saddle height that you previously had. You could measure it and do it, but it can be a bit tricky to measure exactly where it was. So the best thing to do is to mark it, and the best way to mark it is with some tape as this doesn't damage or mark the frame in any way. It also means you've got some handy tape should you need it. And you can very quickly assemble your bike and pop your seatpost into the exact right position very quickly. (relaxed music) When traveling with your bike, you'll often have to remove your handlebars so that the bike can fit into a bag or a box. Now many people do this by undoing the stem bolts and the headset and taking the whole thing off. However, we'd say don't do that. An easier way is to just take the bars off at the front of the stem, and leave the stem on the bike. In doing so, this will mean that the headset bearing doesn't come loose, and you don't lose any bits, and the fork doesn't fall out in transit. It'll hold everything together. If you loosen any bolts while taking your bike apart for transit, make sure that you tighten them. Classic examples are the seatpost and the stem. The reason for this is that while in transit, these bolts could get loose, fall out, and you'll never see them ever again, which can be, well, pretty annoying when you get to your final destination. If you loosen your stem clamp bolts off, you should be able to then twist the stem around, and tuck it in there next to the frame. Don't forget to protect the frame. And then tighten the stem bolts back up, and that should be good. (relaxed music) If you have a Di2 bike, then there's often a cable that connects to a battery in the seatpost. Now, these cables have a really annoying habit of disappearing down the seat tube and into the bottom bracket during transportation. And this can make for a really annoying, or well, really fun game once you get to the other side trying to fish it out. An easy solution is to simply get some tape, and tape the cable to the outside of the frame. If you do lose your cable down inside your frame, well, you probably won't 'cause you've watched this video, but if one of your friends does, then fear not. There are ways to get it out. Now, a good tool to use is a coat hanger that you can bend and put a little hook on the bottom. But one of the best tools is actually a spoke with a J-bend in.

For all you foodies out there, look no further than the 7-11, to try some very unique pieces that I've only found in South Korea. Alejandro went online and searched for the best Korean snacks. If you come to 7-11, you gotta get this right here. This is oh-bu chip. This smells like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. This is a must have. The taste you can see And lastly, we've got the classic oh-bu chip. Cheesy burrito.
And one thing that I actually kind of liked was their banana milk. The first sip kind of threw me off a little bit but by the second and third, it really grew on me. If you want a cool Instagram photo then check out this library right here. Inside of the Coex Mall, it's also right next to a Gangnam style monument. Now whenever I travel, I like to have a base understanding of some of the cultural norms wherever I'm going. And in South Korea, there's some very unique ones. The first one is called manner hands. So everyone get your manner hands here. Getting touched on the arm, on the hip, anything of that sort can actually be very uncomfortable unless it's invited. A lot of the time you'll see South Koreans when they take a photo together and they don't know each other very well, they'll actually have a hovering arm. But the gap is actually not accidental, it's intentional, because those are manner hands. Another extension is that you actually don't go in to shake with an older person's hand unless it's been invited. And if you do, it's best to use two hands in a shake. You have to pour with two hands. - [Lady] A respect time? - Yeah, like respect a person. - Here Christian, I'll give it to you with one hand. - Oh, ho, ho. A fascinating conversation I had with Hian our guide, was actually about the way she interacts with other locals. She was saying that most people actually won't talk to one another on the street. It's kind of a weird thing to talk to a stranger. If you desperately need directions, don't be afraid to ask somebody, but for the most part it's not something that's closely integrated into their culture. There's usually a bit of a divide between strangers. Three, two, one, An-yo. Now guys, the most important point of all the 30 points is right here. So listen up closely because you cannot go to South Korea without knowing this. You must never, never, never, otherwise it could be the last time you ever go to South Korea. Five days in South Korea was just not enough. It was an incredible trip. But I only got a small glimpse of what this monolithic city has to offer. I would love to go back sometime soon. I really wanna make a comprehensive guide, to actually show you the best places to go. But if you have anything in South Korea that you recommend, I would love to hear your feedback. Together we are stronger. Guys, if you enjoyed today's video hit the subscribe button, that's a thumbs up. Hit the thumbs up button. Hit the subscribe button. And the notification button because YouTube does not always push out those notifications. I always post my videos on Saturdays. So I will see you right back here on the next Saturday. And as always, let's get lost again, in the next one. It's a cool little side fact, that could come in handy for you. Something crazy you can do in South Korea, that I never got a chance to do is actually eating octopus, that has just freshly killed is a strong word. Let's say, freshly been ended. The cool thing about it, is that because its' nerves are still going off they literally will latch onto you.
And so some people have actually died trying to eat this octopus, because it grabs onto their throat. But that just kind of raises the excitement of it all. So I you wanna try something new, eat a semi live octopus. Now Korea is full of traditional experiences mixed with somewhat touristy experiences. Luckily Kati and I brought the best of both worlds together. - Look, my waist, it's so beautiful. - [Man] It's so flattering. - I feel like a cupcake. - How do you say, "very cute," in Korean? - Keo pa. - Keo pa, now I don't know about you guys. But I absolutely hate tourist attractions. So, luckily, we've been able to keep things super local today. (laughs) And we're going off to show you the traditional side of the town, so let's go. Looking good guys! Looking good. (laughs) This is not just a thing that Kati and I decided to do, you'll actually see tons of people wearing these very, very cool traditional outfits. Looking good, guys. - Thank you. - [Man] No, not you. - It's very pretty, actually. I like the colors. (electronic music) - Now this is something that kind of shocked me a little bit, and that's that we really didn't see that many tourists in South Korea. The only place where we saw the occasional tourist was actually in Hongdae. And even at that, it felt predominantly local. When there's too many tourists around you kind of dilute the real culture. And I never felt like that was the experience in South Korea. On to the next point. And that is themed cafes. - So gross. - I gotta be honest, I don't know how I feel about eating somewhere, where they're associating themselves with poop. And here it is. This is Seoul's only poop cafe. I just got myself a rose latte. I gotta say, if you wanna take a photo with a toilet bowl latte, this is a really, really tasty latte. I'm actually surprised to be saying that. Theme cafes are definitely a big thing to do here in Seoul. You've got cat cafes, which are seen, now, everywhere. But I highly doubt you've seen the next cafe I'm going to show you. The second you check in, they tell you you have to remove, basically anything that's shiny. I kept on a few bracelets and he comes running over and grabs onto my bracelet. That is the best thing I've ever seen. He's checking my pockets. Literally, first thing he did is slip his hand into my pocket and he's grabbing the receipts in there. Can we get one? - I want one. - [Man] Bubble butt, bubble bubble bubble butt. (laughs) - He's so cute, so soft. (relaxing music) - There's a fight for Pride Rock here. (raccoons hiss) Oh, traffic jam. He just activated pancake mode. Now with all the Soju, Somac, Somac, and all the other drinks that come with it, of course, the night life is bound to be big. Unfortunately, we never had a true big night out. It's definitely something I would love to go back and experience. But from what we saw, walking around on a weekend in Hongdae, there was tons of bars that were just bumping. I wish we had gone to a K-Pop club or something like that. It would have been really cool. But again, there's always another trip ahead of me. So today, we are playing Poker Face. - Yay.
- This set scares me now. Do you have traumatic memories now? - Yes. This is horrible. - This is my third time here. I don't think it's third time the charm. - (FBE) Here's how this will work. The game has three rounds of challenges that essentially boil down to manipulation and lying. - Fun. I'm terrible at lying. I'm the worst liar. - (FBE) Each round, one of you will decide to either keep the box in front of you or to switch it with the other player, but before you decide on that, the other player will get to look inside their box and try to manipulate you into choosing the bad box. Whatever is in the box in front of you at the end, you have to deal with it. - Cool. We're fine, okay. Let's change our mindset right now. - We're gonna handle this great. We're gonna be friends after this still. It's all gonna be good. - I feel like I can not hide my facial expressions for the life of me. I'm scared. I'm getting legit nervous. I'm worried it's gonna be something visit this website. - You should be. - (FBE) All right, first round. In honor of the theme Poker Face, one box has chocolate poker chips, while the other has a container of real poker chips that you have to retrieve, but the container is also filled with a bunch of mealworms. - No, why? This is all it is. Either you get a good thing, I get a bad thing, I get a good thing, you get a bad thing. Either way, someone's losing today. - I don't like worms. - You're really freaked out? - (FBE) You get to look inside your box first and then you can tell Chelsea whether or not you wanna keep it or switch it. - Do I lie to you or do I tell you the truth so you think that I'm lying so you swap it or do I tell-- - Girl, we wing it. - Okay. - What does that mean? - That's all. Based off of choices that I think maybe you're gonna make. - Okay. - I think I'm gonna keep it. - She's trying to play me, I feel. Or maybe she's trying to think that I'm-- she wants to make me think. - I'll keep it. - I don't know what you think that I would think I would do, 'cause I don't know what I would do, honestly. - I think we both equally look so stressed. - I'm just freaking out right now. I'm gonna switch it. I feel like I made the wrong decision. - You made a face at the beginning, but you also could be trying to trick me and be like, "I'm gonna make a face." Ah, okay, I'll keep it. - I don't know. You're gonna keep it? - I'm gonna keep it. - (FBE) All right, open your box. - Cockroaches and now mealworms. - Open it. - Wait. Do I get the b-- No! (sobbing) - (FBE) There's ten poker chips in this container, but you only need to find three. - No, no, no. - They're jumping. They're jumping. I can hear noises coming from them. I think I've eaten these before. - (FBE) You've eaten these. - I've done a lot of filming here. - Oh my God. Oh my God. - Okay, that's bad. - I can't look at them. I can't, I can't, I can't. Oh my God. - Oh, I see one. Okay. Ah, jeez. I touched it with a nail. Okay, come on. Okay, we're fine. Noodles. They're noodles, they're noodles. Okay, that was the top one. - I'm crying. - Look, there's one right there. Get it. - I-- - Can I do it for her, 'cause I can just do this [bleep] right now. You want me to do it for-- I will really-- I'll do it. - I can't look at that. Ah, how do you do that? No. - They're just noodles. They're just noodles! (screaming) Why are you freaking out? I'm doing this. - I feel so bad. - There's one right there. There's one right there. I'll grab it if you move it away. - (sobbing) - They're noodles. - Are they supposed to be-- - Oh my God! I pinched it. - No. - It's fine. Two. Okay, I don't think I'm scared anymore. We got it. There's three. There's three. - You did it. - How do you just stick your fingers in there? - (both screaming) - That one got on me. That was actually gross. Okay, we got three. We did it. We did it. - (FBE) This next round is gonna be fun for your taste buds. - Oh, that doesn't-- I'm sure it's not fun already. - I hope it's not spicy. - (FBE) One box has a wellness shot full of nutrients and vitamins with a sweet taste and the other box has a shot of garlic juice. - [Bleep] my life, no. I did a wellness shot and almost threw up, so this is just bad or worse. - (FBE) So Chelsea, you get to go ahead and look inside the box and decide if you wanna keep or switch. - Okay. I literally have no strategy. I just go. - I don't know what that face means. - I don't know what you would pick. I can't read your mind. I wish I had that super power. That'd be really helpful right now. - That'd be perfect for this game. - I'm gonna swap it. - Okay. - This is bad. - Okay. - I feel like you're laughing because it's the garlic juice. - I don't know. I don't know what I wanna do. See, I'm very indecisive. - Is this theatrics or not? Yeah. - Yeah, so I'll keep it. - No, I don't like that. - You didn't make any sort of facial expression. You kept it straight the whole way, which makes me think if you had the bad one, maybe you would have grimaced a little bit, so I feel like on my side now, I have the good one and you have the bad one, but even now, still looking at your face, I don't know what that is. I'm just gonna go with my instincts and I'm gonna keep it. - Do I look pale because I feel very pale right now. I am so scared. I already feel sick right now. - No. - Okay, I'll keep, I guess. - (FBE) You're gonna keep? - No! Don't have that reaction right away. - (FBE) Go ahead and open your boxes. - Why do bad things happen to good people? - I feel so bad right now. - The box smells disgusting. I'm getting a losing streak again. - I really-- wait, my mentality was you kept it and so did I, so I wanted you-- - I can smell it. I literally can smell it from the five seconds it was open. I have a bad phobia of throwing up. - (FBE) How do you feel, Brittany? - I feel so bad. I really tried. I really tried. I'm really sorry, Morgan. We're not gonna be friends after this. - Oh no, you drank the whole thing. - Was I not supposed to? Oh, God. That's so bad. - It is so... - I'm so sorry. - Oh, [bleep] my [bleep] life. You're doing the whole thing. I hope it tastes like [bleep]. Oh, [bleep]. - I feel so bad. - It's so salty. It's so disgusting. - (FBE) Are you gonna drink the rest of it? - I could not do that. I would actually projectile vomit. - I think my mom's gonna be a bit concerned how I drank that so fast. - (FBE) Last round. We have our final challenge in which you will get to play with some fun, satisfying slime or be the one to get slimed. - You know, I think maybe as a kid, I was like, "Oh, that's cool. They're getting slimed." As an adult, I don't think it's as cool anymore. - (FBE) You're gonna look disgusting because this is not Nickelodeon slime. This is slime mixed with food trash. - So "garbage" is the word you're looking for. - I'm just gonna make this real nice and quick. - I'm gonna try to read you. - Okay. How can I avoid getting slime poured on me, 'cause again, this is supposed to be manipulation. - Yeah. - So, do I wanna lie to you or tell you the truth or just make you nervous? - [Bleep]. This is a hard decision for me. - We're still friends after this, right? - Girl, it's a game of chance. It's not on us. - Um, I'm gonna keep what's in front of me. - I'm trying to decide if we're looking out for each other. - No, no, no. - What's going on? - We got one and one. - I'm gonna keep it. - Okay. - I feel like you're trying to make me distract-- distract me so I can't make a decision. You know what? My gut's saying to keep it. I'm just gonna say keep it and whatever happens happens. - I'm gonna switch it. - I did something right. I did something right! - I should have switched it. - Oh, yay. And it's glittery. - I should have switched it. - Oh, I'm sorry. - Why can't it be Nickelodeon slime? - (FBE) All right, so Chelsea, are you ready to get slimed? - Let's do it! Oh God, oh God. I'm not ready for this. (screams) Oh, that's so bad. It's so cold. It's so cold. It smells sweet, but now it kinda smells like relish. - On the bright side, it's a really pretty color. - Oh my God. - Ew, that chunk just flopped onto the table. - It's so chunky. This is making me feel sick. I hear it dropping and it smells like pickle juice. - I am cold. I smell like pickles. I don't know how to feel anymore. - You know technically, you won. - I mean, at the end of the day, it's this or the worms, so you gotta choose your battles. - Thanks for watching this episode of Poker Face on the React Channel. - Don't miss out on new videos, Subscribe. - I don't wanna say goodbye. I wanna go take a shower. - What's up, guys? Alyssa here, a producer from the React Channel. Thanks so much for watching this episode of Poker Face. We are doing more of these episodes in the future, so let us know in the comments what challenges you want our reactors to try. See you next time.
