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.
