got a couple of cool things to be doing this afternoon first we're going to the

War Memorial of Korea (전쟁기념관) Museum we're gonna learn about the history of the Korean

War along with some other exhibits related to Korean military technology

and then we're going to have korean buddhist temple food and that's gonna be

quite an experience i think it's gonna be mostly vegetarian should be really

fun we'll be hungry by the time we finished exploring this museum but first

let's go check it out so over here this is my favorite section of the museum you

have vintage cars you have old military technology that dates back to various

wars there's some USSR equipment for me the most impressive feature of this

exhibit is just how close you can get up to the different items that they have

here on display for instance the old planes the old tanks especially the old

tank is just gigantic i can't believe how big it is here are some of the

weapons and artillery used during the korean war so in terms of participants

from the US there was one million seven hundred and eighty nine thousand 36,000

were killed in action and 92 thousand wounded

there's also mention of the korean peacekeeping operations that the

Republic of Korea is actively participating in these days so David

what do you think of this so far I love it it's really cool and besides showing

you the uniforms it also tells you you know how many people participated from

each country yeah as he said before almost 1.8 million from the US and

besides that it also shows you you know the uniforms the shoes some of the

weaponry they used over there we have some huge machine guns we have

rocket launchers yeah it's really cool what I can say this museum is try thing

like we literally have just a couple more minutes before it closes but I

could easily spend like half a day here yeah I mean this define this nation so

guys we're going to a place called Balwoo Gongyang (발우공양) and in his Korean monastic

food and it's inside here at the fifth floor so let's go check it out all right

so the appetizer course has arrived here at the restaurant we're starting off

with three different dishes of various sizes over on the left it appears we

have a rice porridge there may be some seaweed over here we have something that

looks a bit like a kimchi soup and then we think this could you thought beetroot

yeah I'm thinking it's either a beetroot or a date kind of like both kind of a

rice to a giant cherry yeah it'll be interesting because there was no

explanation and I just finished doing an interview so I have no idea what I'm

having here so I'm just gonna try a bit of this hmm

that is actually cold I thought it was gonna be warm porridge it tastes like

eating this rice and seaweed it's tastings all right moving on let's

try the cabbage soup yeah that's definitely given to say a strong kimchi

taste let's try this over them oh wow that is has a nice soft texture actually

it has more of a plum lik consistency it's not yeah this is not what we

thought it was it's not be root and it's not thought it's a taste a bit like a

lychee that's very good so all of these are really interesting

I believe visitors appetizer course if you come Oh cucumber kimchi and

me that we have it's a mungbean jelly made of wheat starch and finally

the spring green salad soy sauce and vinegar so the next course

has survived and I'm gonna start off with the bean curd porridge and it has a

very liquidy consistency try that birth eve ground sesame turn it a little bit I

actually really like this once more again yeah mom now let's use the next

board I really like that one it's really creamy now I'm gonna move on other

dishes here so we have pickled cucumber over here and then we have mung bean

jelly with lotus root and a solid with I think it's sesame seed dressing leafy

greens guy is that really more earthy than I was expecting

very strong flavor a little bit minty - yeah I'm not my favorite so far I'm

liking the porridge the most and last but not least let's grab the mung bean

jelly like it just jiggles in those chopsticks Wow has a really soft texture

it's almost flavorless does it really taste like much

so we're moving on yet another course that is very exciting so over here both

have a suit it has fermented soybeans smells so much like a strong potency so

and then here we have also mushrooms as well here we've got sticky rice wrapped

inside and then we have five different bond chives five different side dishes

including two different kinds of kimchi some greens I'm going to start the

overall dish meal was a real experience many different courses so many different

kinds of vegetables some more bland than others overall limited spices limited

salt there's also no onion or garlic used so overall the I would describe the

meal is is simple but also very elegant a lot of detail in terms of the

presentation and appearance and so yeah if you're in Seoul and you're looking

for a unique kind of dining experience you consider this for sure

all right what an afternoon man whoa it's been an action-packed day we went

to the Korean War Museum which was fascinating well threadable

lots of really interesting exhibits I mean wish I had a little bit more time

to explore there but yeah it was still very much worth it then we had a

fantastic meal in terms of Korean food it wasn't the most labor flavorful or

you know when you think of Korean food I think of like intense spices yeah wasn't

spicy at all but so much attention to detail in the presentation and we are

ending off things here in Seoul tomorrow we're going to Busan Busan so the

adventure continues in Korea we'll see you guys there and if you enjoyed the
