Eating our way across our last day in Busan, Korea! (in Korea!)



Eric was sick for a day so we took it easy during the last hours of our visit to Busan. Turns out that means eating a ton of stuff!

  1. Your videos could be 4 hours long and I’d still watch. They always end too soon for me 🥰
    Eric…. You do need to eat/drink things that improve your gut health and build your immune system. Elderberry for immune system and apple cider vinegar for gut health for a good start

  2. We enjoyed how you just gave yourselves over not knowing the language or the script and didn't (on camera) stress about it. THAT is the way to approach travel!

  3. Maybe you need some good probiotics because you have a poor gut flora. You could use histamine lowering probiotics. Just a thought.

  4. When I went to the doctor before moving to Japan, the doctor was warning me not to drink the water out of the taps there for the first week or so that my body would get use to the bacteria. It just happens to certain people I guess. I've traveled over Europe, Australia, and Asia. Never gotten sick.

  5. 20:24 That's a puffed rice cannon. I seen them in Japan. Edit* On further research, it is a grain puffer, it can on other grains, in Korea they use it for puffed corn(very similar to popcorn), hence the butter quote. Like the cereal Kellogg corn pops.

  6. When I went, Kakao translate is much better than Google Translate. Naver Maps for maps. It’s strange how bad google translate is for Korean considering it’s an alphabet language and does much better with Japanese.

  7. @5:55 Thank you, K&E, for always being so entertaining!

    However, Eric, sorry if this is unsolicited medical advice. Having seen your condition as a veteran viewer, speaking medically, you may be suffering from "Selective IgA Deficiency" It is one of the most common primary immune deficiencies and is usually asymptomatic (meaning without symptoms, as most people don't know they have it). Generally, the antibody (immunoglobulin IgA) fights "bugs" or pathogens in the body that are lined with mucus like the sinuses, breathing tubes, or stomach and intestine. If you are concerned, I suggest you get tested for anything like that; it is done via blood work. One of the major concerns for people who may have this is that when someone with it gets a blood transfusion, they may have a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) requiring immediate attention. Therefore, those with this immunodeficiency wear medical bracelets.

    If this is the case with you, then you may get sick when you encounter a new pathogen (bacteria, viruses, or toxins) or those you haven't encountered in a very long time. This is because the antibodies you form when you first encounter pathogens wane over time, making you more prone to infections. This is probably why you most often get sick when you travel. Still, those with this Selective IgA deficiency are not mounting an intense enough fight against these pathogens. The body tries to get rid of these pathogens by "flushing" out the system by causing vomiting and diarrhea, the same reason most people are not given antibiotics when they have similar conditions.

    Hope this was helpful!

  8. I believe what Kyde had that Eric described as "the ocean" is actually jjamppong, a spicy seafood and noodles soup inspired by Chinese cuisine

  9. I keep a laminated credit card sized copy of my vaccination form in my wallet. Never can tell who is gonna want to see it, hospitals, companies, etc…

  10. Man that sucks that you got sick but hopefully it did not ruin your trip. It was nice to see you include more food videos and I hope you go back to making food in Japan videos if anything interesting comes up. Cannot wait to see where will you go next

  11. thank you guys for making these videos. there's nothing more relaxing than watching your videos.

  12. Maybe it’s the tap water? I always use bottled water whoever I travel, even if it’s something as mundane as brushing my teeth. The water treatment quality isn’t the best in Korea, as they suggest to use a countertop water filter system. I’ve only been to Japan once, but the hotel I stayed at said the tap water was drinkable. Maybe Eric is super sensitive to tap water/the ice provided in drinks. My dad is the exact same as Eric where he gets sick whenever he travels, but when he avoids tap water and ice, he’s totally fine. 😅

  13. You forgot the full clip of Kyde playing the piano. I hope its in the bonus footage on Patreon. Looked like a great trip except for your food poisoning. Sorry you had to deal with that.

  14. I felt sorry for Eric. Clearly he was feeling hungry and his body needs food, he started to have a big appetite that his stomach is still not able to follow 😅
    Hope you’re well now.
    Nice video as usual. Thanks.

  15. Hey Eric, remember you cheered me up, when I was in hospital with ulcerative colitis? Well it turned out I am histamine intolerant too. That is tricky, because one day you can eat all sort of food, without a problem and the next day you eat the same and get really really sick. It has to do with riping processes, so cured and ripe products can get me real sick with throwing up, headaches, or diarea. For me probiotics were a gamechanger, no colitis as long I take my probiotics and stay on a histaminfree diet. Maybe it will help you too to get your gutbacteria up their game when you are traveling. However, great series, thanks for always share your life with us.

  16. It's called traveller's diarrhea..it happens to people with weak gut issues

  17. 🍓 🍨 since u shared the dessert, I think $6 per person was fair for a decadent and traditional treat 🇰🇷

    I liked your choices! Always a pleasure!

  18. All of those side dishes (lettuce, sauce, etc.) come with free refills. Banchan = side dishes
