On Day 4 in South Korea, we decided to take a day trip to Nami Island, which is a famous touristy island a couple hours away from Seoul. Once we arrived, we had a dish called dak galbi. It was an alright day, but not my favorite.
00:24 Metro to Gapyeong Station - 2,250 Won ($1.90) - One of the things that truly amazing me about Seoul is that the public Metro / Subway is incredibly extensive. You can even travel for hours and get way out of the city, but still using the Seoul Metro. On this trip it literally took us about 2 full hours to arrive to Gapyeong Station. We made a couple transfers, but eventually made it, and had to take a quick taxi ride to Nami Pier.
1:48 Dak Galbi (닭갈비) - For lunch, before taking the boat across the Nami Island, we stopped at a restaurant near the pier to eat a Korean dish called Dak Galbi (닭갈비), which is chicken and cabbage with rice caked all cooked on a huge pan in front of you with lots of sweet chili paste. It was a lot of fun to eat and cook, but I’m not a huge fan of the sweet chili paste. I usually prefer the sour and spicy chili as opposed to the sweet chili paste. But still, it was a fun meal and dak galbi is a popular Korean food especially with the younger generation. Total price - 46,000 Won ($38.92) for 4
5:54 Nami Island (Namiseom Island 남이섬 종합휴양지) - 10,000 Won ($8.46) per person - After lunch we walked over to the Nami Island pier, bought out tickets, and then took the ferry boat to the island. Nami Island is mostly famous because it was featured on some Korean movies and tv shows, I think. Overall, it was very touristy, and it was just kind of like a nice park, but it was so busy. The best thing about visiting Nami Island for me was eating a skewer of grilled lamb with cumin, wow that was good.
For dinner, we just went into Lotte Supermarket and bought some groceries and ate at home in our apartment.

    As somone who's lived in Korea for over a decade, it's actually reassuring to see and hear Mark's honest yet respectful responses in this video. I've been to Nami Island and let me tell you, this is the last place I'd take anyone I know who's come to visit Korea. It's a tourist trap with nothing worth seeing/experiencing. Feel bad that Mark had to experience this side of Korea but glad others who watch his vids will get his hints and stay away from the island. Also, the style of dalkgalbi he had isn't really my thing either. I'd much rather have the charcoal grilled version of dalkgalbi, called 숯불닭갈비 "Seuht-bool dalk gal bi" and I wish he had tried that instead cuz nearby Chuncheon has some of the best there is in Korea. It seriously baffles my mind that this place is always near the top of the recommended tourist attractions when you google things to do in Korea…

    Can't believe you greedily ate cabbage that was sitting in the pan with raw chicken. Hope you got real sick…bad impression off the bat.

    Korean food is diverse, but especially the soup culture and meat seem to be characterized by lettuce wraps. And there are so many different side dishes(specially various types of Kimchi) that go well with rice.

    Mark, you eat the noodles first. that's all i wanted to say

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tania Paquignon says:

    the best thing about Dak Galbi is the rice, that they add and fry with the remaining sauce and veggies ….. People go there for that and not for the chicken …. you missed the highlight 😢
