How to have great lunch for ~$2 in Seoul

Watch in HD for best the best picture.
I like walking around foreign grocery stores to see unusual foods, compare prices, and to see a little bit of real life. While in Seoul, I learned how much South Koreans are addicted to free samples. Any company wishing to survive there better build “free” samples into its gameplan.
In the video, I show how to take advantage of freebies. Save yourself the expense of a restaurant by going to the grocery store and loading up on samples!
Brook, I’m sorry, but some of those things didnt really look too appetizing! You know what they say, there is no such thing as a free lunch! Looks like you’re having a great time travelling…keep posting!
That soupy pasta thing was cold and not very good, and the fishy thing I eat at the beginning is nearly disgusting. Everything else I tried was really good, even the tree root stuff, if that’s what it was…
That was a great video. It’s like eating all of the samples at costco and topping off with a $1.50 hot dog and soda.
Oh yeah! Lotte Mart is pretty much the Costco/Sam’s Club of South Korea. They have these samples all the time, too, not just on weekends. This works all over the world, including in Mongolia where I sampled some cookies and weird, rotten-tasting milk products today. I refused to try the specially fermented mare’s milk, though.
It’s funny how so many of these little techniques work everywhere.
What’s up pal? Glad to see you’re enjoying yourself! Keep in touch and keep the videos coming.
