She sort of gave us a deal We're getting an assortment of seafood. So lots of different types of clams You can see this lady just started pulling stuff out. I've never seen most of these before I mean, they're so different like orange yellow as soon as you cuss it, it like pops open squirts water They squirt water. I mean, it's so amazing and we're spending around 60 So like $55 for a huge the large portions huge Seafood barbecue, I think so. I'm not entirely sure if it's raw or if it's grilled. No, I think we put it on the grill The way this place works is as soon as you get to the restaurant You just tell them what you want to get an assortment or you just choose, you know One thing like clams or you can go with some of the other, you know Sea creatures there. I mean, there's so many exotic things that I've never seen before and then you know, there's two different dining areas There's the one by the water which is a few tables and then there's this like traditional Seating inside where she's actually, you know, cutting up everything and cooking everything. This right here is our appetizer, which are mussels They look super delicious. We got some veggies We have some sauces and the first things first, you gotta clean my hands. I've shaken way too many hands today So definitely don't want to get sick over doing the wrong thing Yeah, when you eat with your hands But I can eat with chopsticks, but it's gonna be way easier with my hands, right? Yeah, all right, clean clean clean and start off with the mussels. Oh, I love mussels. Look at this BAM It's gonna dip this into the hot sauce right there. Oh My god, so fresh man. So fresh so succulent. It's delicious This is the reason why we came to get super fresh Korean seafood. I've never dipped it into red sauce before It's super good, it's a little hot it's like it's like a sweet and sour but spicy Mmm, so right here we have carrots and cucumber. I'm gonna dip that as well Fresh vegetables all day in Korea. Cucumber is not my favorite, but I'll eat it You can get a soju which is like the Korean vodka basically sweet potatoes 20% alcohol. We're good with that. We don't want to get like drink something hard like that So we're going with cast cast beer gambe. Gambe bro Loving that Korean beer nice and light. Mmm, very nice All right. Let's enjoy it before the the main course gets here All right. Here's our seafood extravaganza. This is all raw. Everything here is raw I don't know what half these things are. I know these are clams. I know that's octopus They literally killed it and it came here and it was alive. It was moving so it was dead But I mean still moving pretty crazy a little life left in his body. Yeah a little scary I mean a lot of people wouldn't eat this. I mean a lot of things here This is another like it looks like a big oyster that she popped it open and pulled it out This one. I don't know what that is either and this is like another type of clam, right? So i'm gonna start with what I know You know what? I'm gonna start with this guy So it's basically raw octopus Whoa Dude it's super fresh It's a little chewy obviously hasn't been cooked so I mean it's just straight up the octopus how he is Wow, oh my god Oh, man, look how long that goes. I don't know if I can eat the whole thing like that Come on, let me break this up. That's too much. All right, you know what? Let me move on to the next one. That's crazy Yeah, I remember it's still moving. You can try some of these in the red sauce too. Give it more flavor Oh, yeah, you could yeah this one right here called gochujang sauce Put a little squirt on some of those for some more flavor. All right, so let me get another piece of this A little bit Good So tough that's a little hot it almost like ketchup but a little spicy Yeah, and then next up we got clam. So this one I know what it is. This is a straight up clam So here we go Get in here Grab some of that Super fresh look at that. They chopped it up a little bit like that. Just dip it Straight to the mouth That's not a clam. I got something else. Okay, the clam is under it Well, that was tough. That was a tough one Clam is delicious dude Dude, I thought I like grabbed onto me What the hell was that? Oh my gosh. Oh my god. Be careful. You gotta chew these really well you gotta really chew them and something sam was telling me is you gotta be really careful with the octopus because You know as soon as they bring it's moving and the tentacles can actually suck onto your tongue or the side of your cheek Careful. Yeah, remember that tip I'm gonna try this with a different sauce to see what it tastes like Whoa That's really tough like really tough. I'm gonna do this for later That's a real deal. Yeah, it's like a real what is this an oyster? It looks like pudding, you know, it's like a like a mix between an oyster and a clam. I don't even know what it is It's yellow Okay That tastes like the sea bro, it's like Just drinking the ocean right there super soft So succulent and then the best thing to do is get some of this right put some of the sauce into it like a little bit and then Slurps up Whoa Salty as hell. I think this clams. I mean, there's a big assortment of seafood here things that are just so wild Oh careful, you might break a tooth. Oh, wow Oh man Is that a little too fresh?

It's like i'm eating a worm from the sea Oh my god Your face says it all I don't have to talk about that one. So she's telling me to put this one in the red sauce It looks like okay. This is another hard one though It's tough. It's nice a bit of flavor They're all like basically thick muscles, you know, she wants me to put the octopus into the sauce Whoa. Oh my god.

That was too crazy This is a fun experience. Oh my god All right, david. We've sure been having an interesting time with this meal Some uh some things we've never tried before most definitely Also some things that uh, maybe I won't try again soon, but this is one item that I did like pepper paste sauce Bathe it in there What's so nice about that one is just it has a smooth soft texture meaning that Some of these are very chewy This is probably one of the softest items I dig it back. That's actually not my favorite The aftertaste is pretty strong, but anyways dude Cheers cheers the freshest seafood in korea And they brought us some complimentary Bokkeumbap. Oh, that's hot. I just touched that So they fried up some rice Some seaweed in there a little bit of seafood Oh, yeah That's delicious makes up for the rawness of the seafood platter Which neither of us I could say at least for me speaking personally That's a one-and-done I'm glad I tried it Don't need to have that again It's a really nice way to end the meal. We'll definitely finish the pam. Let's keep the pan clean Now guys seafood in korea. This is the best part Dude I never had it before Oh my god, look at this dude.

Well it was number five today So it's the fifth one on the left And yeah, this is it this is the the clam tent it's really cool here I won't lie it wasn't my favorite seafood lunch ever Um, it probably is one one of the wildest ones. I mean, it's super exotic But yeah, I mean this is it we're gonna go up to see the park and see all the attractions up there Gotta hike back up 150 meters. Let's go. Oh my gosh. The struggle is real I don't know if it's just because we ate it's so hot or whatever just the fact we're going up a hill but Yeah, man, I need to get in better shape Yeah, it's 150 meters back to the spot where we just started from i'm like I'm, definitely out of shape right now That hike wasn't that bad 150 meters took us like three minutes Now we're getting to the entrance of the park. You can see lots and lots of tourists here Wow so many people Literally, there's a lot of shade here a lot of trees Sam you feeling good? I'm tired. But yeah, let's power on let's go. Let's keep going Dude, the breeze is a life saver. It's just like it's only starting to hit from this point on When we're going up the hill we were in the sun. Oh my gosh And there's actually a train that takes you around if you want to take it. It's called the newbie train. Yeah And yeah, this is like the station right here. Yeah, I noticed I While we're using the toilets, I just checked the information. It's three thousand won for an adult So less than three dollars if you want to do it and i'm guessing it just takes you around in this circle I don't know if it stops. Well, we're just gonna do it by foot We want to explore and see everything there is to see. All right. Our first stop is gyumyeongsa temple It's just a tiny little temple and basically it was built to help prevent people from committing suicide So a noble cause and we're just gonna go check it out And as you can see it's a small building You can hear like buddhist chanting. Yeah, and there's a buddha here Some bells yeah, lots of flags lots of flags from different countries got turkey great britain america You have this beautiful dragon statue with a little fountain And that's it Wow, no, I dude the buddhas inside the the plant right there are awesome. You saw that Right there inside the plant Foreign The best part about it is the music let's continue our tour and here we have the south port viewing point Wow Wow endless ships Busan, look at the mountains Busan, baby. It looks good at every angle. We've seen it from a lot of different vantage points today, man So the walk is in 20 minutes a little longer than that Maybe it's like 20 if you don't stop at odyssey anything But the best part about this place and where we are is that we're right next to the ocean So you have this incredible breeze hitting us and the views are just incredible lots of trees lots of ships You got a few islands out here. I think we're finally at the observation deck here. That'd be nice man I think that's it right there. It's been a while since the last uh, it's the last uh landmark. So we are right here observation deck We have to just do this and then go all the way over there and this is the observation deck views from here over the ocean You got the cliffs to the left cliffs to the right lots of boats In front of us. We have sangdo island, which means tea kettle island Way in the distance you can't really see it right now because of the fog you have demondale island Then you have brother island jejedo island tree island. Just lots of islands here. I mean, wow Whoa, I mean the breeze. I hope that you guys can hear me, but the great breeze up here really cold Beautiful trees. All right, david. We got to deviate off the path just a little bit. We're walking along here We got to start from here go down here So the hike down to the lighthouse isn't so bad This is a bunch of steps probably a few hundred steps lots of shade very breezy lots of people here Well, we're like really flying down Over here. It's right there. And that's a young dude lighthouse. It's back to 1906 or roughly 113 years old a beautiful lighthouse right here on the ocean Incredible views but you know, the vantage point from here is fantastic I don't even feel the need to go up it you can yeah If you want you can go up to right there to the observation deck, I think we're good We already went to an observation deck early today. Yeah, let's continue. Let's go up to the temple. Let's do it after a five minute walk We're here at taejongsa temple and this place is famous because here you can find pieces of the holy relics from the buddha So basically pieces of his body and they also have two people trees. I don't know what that is Oh bow trees. Okay bow trees that were donated by the sri lankan government And this is it Showtime beautiful Is there a monk here? Yeah, there's a monk right there I've actually been to a few places where they have the rise of the buddha. I went to one in candy sri lanka And here and this one they also have a few pieces. I don't know. They never really tell you what it is They just tell you they have you know pieces from his body And that's it. This tour of taejongdae has come to an end Wow, I mean, it's really an epic place. Most people don't know about it But you have to come out here when you're in busan it's south It's like an island south of busan like right over the bridge and at the very end you have this like beautiful park Right when you enter go down to the bottom and get yourself some delicious seafood I highly recommend just going with like mussels scallops.
