Defensive walking in Seoul

[mintochu]

Haha. It was way funnyyy. Thanks for making it worth watching! But ofc I will be cautious when I go there. lol from now on every foreigner will slalom their way on the streets while korean people look at us like....wtf man? Don't ya have ninja skills to detect the motorcycles? hahaha......but i'm a bit nervous now cause where I come from everyone follows rules mad well, unless they're drunk (which happens alot). oh dear god help me...i'm gonna die.

[cptspiffy]

So true! I've even seen cars on some of the pedestrian overpasses over Cheonggyecheon. No level surface is safe!

[GlowWorm1962]

I suggest a fine trail of tin tacks laid along the path used by motorcyclists - that should put paid to their shenanigans >=D

[dpark76]

" Let the old people go first " LOL!!!!! Too funny.

[TOMATNOSCE]

I suggest very tawdry body armor. Ya know, the type guaranteed to leave huge scratches and dents in pristine metal traveling at 35 MPH!

Cool Vid. I do follow basic things that you suggest. The old person, the baby carriage are genius BTW~! haha!! ;-)

[Huba588]

FUNNYNNNYNNY!!

But it actually sounds all feasible :)

[MySweetSeoul]

haha funny :D

[darkwater07]

Mwahah really nice video ! great laughing

[seppes]

haha! that's funny. i posted a video about how i used the sidewalks for my scooter all the time in seoul. :D

[babosh4a]

LOL it´s true!!!!!! hahaha thanks for the tips! ^^

[mayrabel1]

it made me laugh! at least there is a solution for survive in Seoul here in my country the only advice that I can give you pray before you go outside because it could be the last hahaha. belle music vive la grèce le soleil et les plages!

[imlivinitupniggaz]

And that's just for pedestrians! The video for actual drivers is about 1 hour long, and includes segments such as "Double yellow lines are for u-turns," "Why blinkers are used only after a car has made a turn," "Red lights are for decoration," "Speed limit implies minimum speed allowed" and more...

[wowJhil]

Fun, and educative! I am sure it's not for nothing.

[panamapool]

yes it was!

[bluvsjaejoong]

brilliant!!!!!

[hindiakobayani]

This is HILARIOUS! ROFL!

[mikedubya]

This would have been so much more helpful if there weren't Koreans all over this video breaking your "rules"...

[furorscribendi2]

Brilliant, practical, and bloody realistic. It's the giggi-motorcycle deliverymen round Sodaemun-gu who nearly do me in and actually flattened my oldest boy last trip. Oh well, when in Rome.... I look forward to your next video, and may I suggest a walking tour of the Blue House area and how many guards suddenly appear out of thin air to escort you away (always a winning walking tour). Cheers.

[Nottanya]

You forgot to mention to keep an eye out for the low sidewalk barriers so that you don't trip over them and fall face first on the pavement. (personal experience)

[handlessninja]

lolXXX is like greek song FTW!@XD

[cbixler]

Is this in Sanggye?

[gokoreapodcast]

Yeppers.

[themudinyoureyes]

haha this is hilarious... thanks for posting.

[socalazn168]

This is nothing compare to China and Vietnam. Just search traffic in China or Vietnam on youtube and you'll know what I mean.

[smpumpkin7]

I'll have to agree with you on this.

now that i live in us, i think i've been doing that for 20 years of my life...

good clip, no harm done.

[chelsykwon]

Although I'm Korean, unfoutunately I have to agree with our bad culture too. We still have many things to change. But guys~ Don't hate Korea. That's not all about us. :-)

[gokoreapodcast]

I don't mean to single out Korea. It's just where I'm living. Any large city you will find these same dangers and these tricks can be used to avoid dying.

[90young]

LOL, I'm just a student in Korea. I think it is true.Korean should change their own strange culture. Thanks for pointing out.

[huncamunca218]

HAHA! This is all SO true! I've totally used other people as shields on the crosswalk. But I usually walk in the main part of the sidewalk and I've hardly ever been hit!

[loverrivalprotege]

What do you mean hardly ever?!

[huncamunca218]

A bicycle hit my hand once. I had a couple of close calls too. Once a coworker suddenly pulled me out the the way of a car. And a motorcycle almost hit me. One car came close to crushing my leg as it was backing up on the sidewalk.

[Misskley]

funny and smart. love it!

[thewerrett]

I personally prefer walking like an Egyptian

So very true and often neglected points of pedestrian dangers... I salute you for making this absolutely hilarious & awareness-building video!

[waruilewi]

What insanity. Going to Korea in July, cant wait to try out your tips!

[zeram]

LOL. You know I've found that trick of walking next to old women works very well in Manhattan too.

[keithinkorea]

Outstanding work indeed. So very true!

[mmstyleknits]

oh yeah!

[maui12ro]

LMAO, Been livng in RoK for the past 10 years, this is so Funny but yet very very true. Good job.

[clharris1]

Great video! I'll definitely practice defensive walking from now on.

[statiklingon]

[lauramuppet]

This is bitchin! Going to be posted on my blog! Viva la Korea!
