Myeongdong 명동 & Myeongdong Cathedral 명동성당

[marajaw422]

at the beginning of the video, which subway exit number was it???

[michaelarnold13]

Im not exactly sure,Ive just gone out the area I know

Walk off the train and look for 6 7 or 8

Its the most common/popular exit and a map at the station will show you Migliore department store

Thats the exit (beside the department store)

[marajaw422]

@michaelarnold13 thanks alot! i kinda figure it out by looking at the map. Myeongdong is definitely one of the places i wanna go in Seoul, i cant wait to be there on Aug. it'll be my first time.

[tokee1234567]

btw, the only people who go out saying the "jesus heaven, no jesus hell" are non-catholics. catholics have good relationships with buddhists, whereas protestants are known for persecuting the buddhists, and some branch of protestants go around destroying/setting fires on buddhist temples and statues

[michaelarnold13]

yes, i realize this

its sad to see people put their own slant on relgion or fight other religions

Peace and love regardless, no matter what amd hopfully acceptance

[tokee1234567]

@michaelarnold13 are you still living in Korea? I am preparing my presentation and you have really awesome videos.

[michaelarnold13]

hi

no I left about 2 months ago

I lived in Korea about 10 years

Thank you VERY much :)

[AngryCrowTakesFlight]

@tokee1234567 right ... and no catholics are bad are they *cough* CHILD RAPISTS *COUGH*

I'm a Protestant and I know for a fact we don't encourage it and we know it's wrong.

dear michael arnold, your videos are so well done and of such good quality! i really appreciate what you are doing; i would love to visit seoul and tokyo, but i am old and poor and will never get the chance; your videos are as close as i will get; kamsahamnida/arigato for doing them so well :-)

[OneAwesomeOpossum]

[michaelarnold13]

[323PS]

i miss myongdeong & the Cathedral it's beautiful, mass at 9 am on Sundays! mike..i agree apgeujong didn't really have as much as myondong & this is more trendy than nandaemun or dangdaemun! i luv it here socks for only $1.00 or 1000 won. Lots of good stuff like shoes oh pretty ones for no more than $20.00! Fantastic place to shop (or Funtastic?) thnx for another good vid my frnd!

[michaelarnold13]

good morning my friend

yes, Myeing ding has more chrcater

if i were the mayor haha id put down white cobble stones in Apgujeong or something,make it look more special because other than having nice shops, coffee joints and bar its not as apealing as all the hype

Myeongdong is cool and frenzy fashion and fun;)

thank u as always:)

[323PS]

@michaelarnold13 good morning to u too my frnd! yeah we were at apgujeong last time but wasn't too impressed with it. i agree cobblestones wld add more beauty to the area! mayor arnold hahaha joke joke! seriously i luv myeongdong, my fave hangout when we were there! it's such a cheerful place & altho i loath crowds but this one didn't bother me at all! it's like a huge outdoor shopping mall with colossal choice! u'r welcome & THANK YOU for making it possible to see Myongdon thru ur eyes/words!

[qiranger]

@michaelarnold13 Not really, but I suppose that's because I've been back for over a week. It was nice to be back home to Korea after being abroad.

At 3:40 it sounds like Cicadas hissing in the background ....

[michaelarnold13]

hi

i keep forgetting the name

its a Korean cricket called the Nemi i belive

super loud and annoying when your trying to shoot

kinda ugly, kids like to catch them with thier nets haha

loud :)

[GimmeKitty]

@michaelarnold13 Thanks! Appreciate being apprised of this.

How large are these critters, Michael?

[michaelarnold13]

korean cicida=mae mee

i think some can be as big as your thumb

not a big bug fan haha

[GimmeKitty]

@michaelarnold13 Ugh, I hate bugs. Can live (being a New Yorker at heart) with cockroaches (well, a few ...) but NOT with bedbugs. I lived with those ONCE and vowed ne-ver again. Seattle is now being over-run with them. Thankfully I have been bedbug free so far!

[xxblujskxx]

awesome video, thanks michael~!

[michaelarnold13]

thank u

i appreaciate it

[amarth23]

Once again great video Micky boy. Do you actually live in Seoul? or do you just spend alot of time there? either way i'm quite jealous of you... Keep up the good work micky! :)

[michaelarnold13]

i actualy moved out of korea but came back to shoot my first feature film

ill be here a while and then go next movie fund hunting

[amarth23]

@michaelarnold13 Oh your first feature film? What is this film called I'll keep a look out for it when it comes out :).

Good luck with filming, break a leg and all that hehe..
