'Seoul Ride' by Jun Areia

I don't have time even to breath lately, so remixing has been really slow. Instead I offer you a peak over Seoul.

All filming has been done with my Canon Ixus85IS camera, a consumer pocket camera filming video at 480p; so please do not complain about the quality. Most of the filming is while I'm on a bus, except the Gangnam walking around part where you can find on a separate video I've uploaded last summer. This is the ride I take from my home to school and I'm usually listening to some tech house on my MP3 player so thus the track selection.

The background track is the dub version of my Rainbow - A remix. It has nothing to do with Rainbow though as it doesn't include any sounds or voices from that song. Even the arrangement is different. So I guess it's another track, probably "Areia - Seoul Ride" and this is it's music video... or whatever. I think this track is highly under-rated probably because it didn't fit Rainbow's A that perfectly. So here you have the chance to listen to all the work I've done and it's covered on the original remix because of Rainbow's sexy voices and bodies. If you like it you can download the track here: http://www.mediafire.com/?1xcv133kr17wp6q

Actual life in Korea is not all about shiny pop stars and drama; it's actually barely about that. That's what I'm trying to film here; the everyday life that you're probably not aware of, because it's obviously not included in the music videos, celebrity shows or even dramas. I hope you enjoy this ride.

where did you learn Korean? :) 

[areiacreations]

@XAndeexTsukiyomiX Sogang University :)

[MrKoreanKing]

no fat people in Korea? In the US you can't walk a single street without noticing an overweight child,teen or adult.

[areiacreations]

@MrKoreanKing Nmm... Mind that what is considered to be an average body in the west is probably overweight or at least chubby in Korea. At least that's the stereotype, so people tend to be much thinner. Overweight people in the west-standards are really a rare exception in Korea. In any case in this video I'm walking in Gangnam, one of the top spots in Seoul to show off your silicone so it's not exactly a good sample to draw any conclusions from.

I'm going to assume you know Korean. Were you fluent in Korean before you began visiting/living in Seoul? If so, how did you go about learning the language? Thank you for the videos.

[areiacreations]

@rizzelet There are 6 levels of Korean, each taking about 3 months to study at a full-time course (4 hours/day) at a university in Korea. I'm now almost at level 4. When I first came to Korea I was at level 2++. Reading basic stuff was okay but I could barely speak back then. Now I speak enough to get around and meet people or to do online shopping and such. While I was a student in UK, I've spent some time here and there (about four 2~3 weeks intense studying sprees) studying the first 2 levels

Would you say adjusting to Seoul and Korean was very hard? I'm looking to study there next year (hopefully!) and some inside knowledge on adjusting would be nice ^_^

wow this sounds awesome

[JessicaHeavenBlessed]

From 3:24 on it's like... wow

[JourneyKorea]

@areiacreations well let's not generalize either my friend. Koreans overall are fit. There's outdoor exercise equipment everywhere and lots of walking paths that are used. Korean's eat healthier than their western counterparts and pay more attention to there appearance and health. Gangnam is one of the wealthier area's of Seoul but it's not much different from other parts of Seoul or Korea for that matter.

Thankyou for this video.. It is beautiful

[geeanime]

wow watching this vid makes me miss Korea soo much!!! 한국이 그리워요!!! T.T

[namunamuchan]

@fairies633 yeah im korean and I live in the U.S. there are fat people everywhere. at markets, gas stations, schools...etc. EVERYWHERE. so there are only two groups? fat people and anorexic? anyways people don't have to be fat, they choose that lifestyle. (this is true 90% of the time) fat genes received from parents that is BS reason.

[fairies633]

@namunamuchan No it's not...Not everyone can be anorexic like you want. Are you korean?

[namunamuchan]

this is frickin sweet! thx for the upload.
