I'm a father in his 40s who runs the family travel YouTube channel Traveljoong (@traveljoong). I'd like to review the pool villa I stayed in while traveling in Nusa Dua, Bali. I'll honestly share the pros and cons, along with the price.
Nusa Dua, Bali
Nusa Dua, south of Bali, is a luxury tourist destination planned and developed by the Indonesian government., It is characterized by a quiet, safe, and luxurious atmosphere.. So it's a better place for families to visit.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the reason we came here was because of the beautiful color of the sea. The color of the sea is beautiful and fantasticno see.
The southeastern region of Bali is Nusa Dua.
Nusa Dua has been designed as a premium Bali resort where tranquility, cleanliness, and luxury coexist. It's an ideal choice for beach relaxation, cultural experiences, and family trips.
Water sports and cultural heritage (📍Pura Nusa Dharma Nusa Dua), it is the most recommended area for travelers who want to enjoy resort-style healing.
Nusa Dua Pool Villa Accommodation Reviews
I feel like accommodations in Bali have become really expensive no matter where you stay.
Rather than being cramped into a hotel, I chose Airbnb. If you want to experience Bali more closely and feel more free, I recommend Airbnb.
The accommodation in Nusa Dua, Bali, where I stayed with my family for 7 days was Airbnb. Spring Leaf ResidenceIt was a villa complex consisting of a single-family pool villa.
Spring Residence, a complex of private pool villas
There is a gated entrance to the pool villa complex, ensuring safe and secure access. With very few people around, it is a perfect choice for those seeking a quiet and private vacation.
To purchase basic necessities from the pool villa, a local convenience store is about 200m from the main road, and most food delivery is available through Grab.

The pool villa consists of three large areas. 1st floor pool villa swimming pool, 1st floor accommodation, 2nd floor accommodationIt is quite spacious, with an outdoor shower room right in front of the first floor pool and space behind the first floor tables.
The pool villa is privately surrounded by a high wall. Aside from the first and last hosts meeting to hand over the house and say goodbye, the rest of the stay was comfortable, with no human interaction.
In this pool, the son and father had a great time playing in the water.
1st floor swimming pool
The pool size is large enough for 2-3 people to enjoy.
There is another portable shower room outside, so you can shower comfortably.
At approximately 1.2m, it is a suitable depth for children and adults to enjoy together.
The structure is such that the inside cannot be seen from the outside, but the swimming pool can be seen from the inside of the first floor accommodation.
It has a large bed, a bathroom on the first floor, a desk, a wardrobe, and a TV.

Nusa Dua Airbnb Pool Villa Prices
I'm going to reveal the pricing information you're most curious about. I just checked other accommodation apps, and I found that hotels and resorts in other areas of Bali, including Nusa Dua, are really expensive.
3 people used this place and it cost 74,669 won for 7 nights, so the total cost was 522,683 won, including the weekly rate discount of -52,269 won and the service fee of 77,153 won. A total of 547,567 won was paidI did it.
Receipt details received after using Airbnb
It's been a little over a year since we used it in May 2024, but now the price has gone up a lot and it's become impossible to find accommodations at that price.
I actually booked through Airbnb, but I looked for similar accommodations.

As a family travel YouTuber (@traveljoong), I've explored the answers to five of the most frequently asked questions travelers have. From coverage and benefits to duplication of coverage and the best value travel insurance, I'll answer all your questions about travel insurance.
1.Is it necessary to purchase travel insurance?
1) Overseas medical expenses
In expensive regions like the US, Europe, and Australia, medical expenses can be very high, not only for major accidents but also for minor illnesses.
Overseas medical coverage is the biggest benefit of travel insurance.
What I experienced in Vietnam
If surgery is needed urgently, the bill can range from millions to tens of millions of won.
I am from Hanoi, Vietnam My son's fever went up to 40 degrees, so I went to the pharmacy.Even though I found it, I still had to pay a lot of money for treatment and medication.
2) Flight delays or cancellations
If your flight is delayed or canceled Unexpected additional costs such as accommodation, food, and transportation that were previously reserved may arise.do.
However, in such cases, travel insurance can be a great help in saving money as it provides coverage.
3) Lost or damaged luggage
While traveling If your luggage is lost or damaged, significant damage can occur.However, if you have travel insurance, you will be covered by the insurance.
4) Dangerous sports & activities
When you enjoy dangerous activities overseas, such as sports, activities, scuba diving, or paragliding, local insurance often does not apply.
Additionally, since basic insurance often does not cover the issue, you may need to sign up for a separate rider.
5) Proof of insurance when issuing a visa
Upon entry Countries that require proof of travel insuranceThere are quite a few (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Thailand, Israel, New Zealand, Colombia, etc.).
Proof of insurance is required, and it is also a safety measure to reduce the financial burden and stress that may suddenly arise during travel in case of unexpected accidents, illnesses, or unexpected situations.
2.If I sign up for multiple insurance policies at the same time, will the compensation be duplicated?
In general, travel insurance and Items that overlap with other insurance (actual loss insurance) will not be compensated for twice., insurance payments do not compensate for the same damage twice.
Content related to duplication
The principle is not to provide duplicate compensation for the same damage.
Both travel insurance and actual cost health insurance cover medical expenses, but It is not possible to receive excess amount by adding up the actual medical expenses incurred.
Fixed compensation type: Death benefits, diagnosis benefits for specific diseasesis covered by several insurances Multiple receipt of a set amount is possible
Actual loss compensation type: Medical expenses, treatment expenses, etc. are divided and compensated according to the actual amount spent, and duplicate claims are not allowed.
It is illegal to charge the same cost twice for the same incident.

actually Signing up after leaving the country is almost impossible or limited.Most travel insurance policies require you to sign up before departure, and if you sign up immediately after departure, coverage is often limited or not applicable.
📌Practical Tips
Before leaving on a trip, Compare at least one or two insurance optionsCheck the coverage, limits, and claim procedures in detail.

250,000 views What if a video could ruin a channel? This is what happened to a YouTuber with 1,880 subscribers. Channel crisis on the verge of 'monetization'We reveal how to turn a rice cake poison into an opportunity for growth. Three Urgent Measures and Lessons LearnedLet's find out. (YouTuber in his 40s @traveljoong’s honest confession)
What are views to a YouTuber?
YouTube channels with just over 1,000 subscribers are looking for ways to increase their views. Among them are: Running Instagram along with YouTubeThis is how it works. We look forward to another algorithmic ride on the new platform.
But this This opportunity has made it clear that the two platforms have different characteristics.I found out. From now on, I will share my experience(?) in the hope that no one will make the same mistakes that a rookie YouTuber with just over 1,000 subscribers made.
1. YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels
I upload the videos uploaded to Shorts directly to Reels. It was a decision I made to promote one video on various channels. However, that was the channel's Using my wife's account, not the official Instagram accountI did it.
It was a hasty decision by a greedy YouTuber who didn't know the nature of Instagram well.
shorts
Shorts are a valuable tool for driving traffic to long-form videos. Because they reach a wider audience than long-form videos, they're ideal for promoting your channel to those unfamiliar with your channel or those who enjoy other genres.
The biggest purpose of shorts is to bring in long-form videos.So if you can get viewers to watch the shorts and come back to the channel home page because they're curious about the content or what channel it is, then you can consider that a huge success.
Reels
On the other hand, there are a few more barriers to moving Reels directly to YouTube, so no matter how many views Reels have, I don't think many people will go to the YouTube channel to look for them.
Most of the time, it's just to promote the existence of 'this kind of channel' to viewers on new platforms.
2. Reels video views skyrocket
Explosion of views
One day, as I was consistently uploading short videos to Reels, my Reels views exploded. 🎥 I'd never seen anything like it before. [250,000 views and 1,000 shares]Go watch the video that was uploaded.
What I wanted so badly The explosion reels(Nothing happens to the shorts)What happens in…
It would have been a little more effective if it had been released in YouTube long form and in shorts, but I think It's difficult to watch videos even after moving from Reels to YouTube.It seems to be.
malicious comments
The problem is that this explosive video would have been better if it had contained a beautiful and warm story about a family, but it was about a mother forcing her son to ride an amusement park ride, causing conflict.
A wife who forced her son to watch Reels started receiving a lot of hate comments. I was taken aback by the explosive number of views, but the level of hate gradually increased. His wife advised him to close the comments section after receiving criticism, and eventually made the reels video private.I turned it into .
The difference between shorts and reels
How much is the YouTube channel? Target audience is set at 30s to 40sIt is done. So From the parents' perspective rather than the son'sIf you saw this content on , Reels is the most used layer If you are in your teens or twenties, it is your son's position.There were a lot.
So, I guess that's why he felt so hard on his wife who seemed pushy(?). The level of comments was also colder and more crude in their criticism.I felt like there was a lot of this.
Reels user characteristics
The age range of the main users There is a very large distribution of people in their teens and twenties.(GOOD for channels targeting this layer)
To YouTube Very little content is consumed on the go
Compared to shorts Emotional comment responseThis much
3. How to deal with malicious comments
Reflecting the characteristics of family channels
We wanted our channel to realistically portray the conflicts, feelings, and relationships that arise when a family travels, but we felt we couldn't cover anything that could lead to excessive conflict or misunderstanding.
in future We focus on producing content that is warmer and allows you to feel the love of family.You should do it. (Please refrain from provocative editing!)
Running an Instagram account with an official account
Since the video was posted on a personal account, it was even more difficult to deal with the criticism and insults directed at me. Change your upload account to an official accountAnd we need to operate it so that we can attract more people to YouTube.
Future measures
I feel like I haven't fully understood the specifics of Instagram until now. This incident has given me a better understanding of its unique characteristics as a social networking service, and I need to develop ways to utilize it strategically.
If the video has become controversial, I thought it would be better to upload a video that can effectively resolve the issue rather than responding to each and every malicious comment or DM.
Even if a video on Reels gets 250,000 views, only about 10 people actually end up on YouTube. It would be a good idea to use Instagram as a more expansive platform for delivering news, rather than just reuploading shorts.
I've tried to organize my thoughts after encountering a very difficult situation while using Instagram to promote my YouTube channel. I wish I had understood and mastered Instagram better, but I could have handled it more wisely.
But now, we must come to our senses and respond well to the situation ahead.
When traveling to San Francisco, USA, the Golden Gate Bridge is a must-see landmark. Here are five facts you should know before visiting the Golden Gate Bridge. Today, we'll explore them.
There are about 250 days a year when you can see the Golden Gate Bridge without fog.

1. Golden Gate Bridge with the highest suicide rate
One of the things you might not know about the Golden Gate Bridge is that this famous San Francisco bridge was once the site of the most suicides in the world. Since its opening in 1937, more than 2,000 people have lost their lives on the bridge.I did it.

1. A 40-something dad YouTuber's problem-solving
Are you a father in his 40s considering starting a YouTube channel? Are you confused about what video editing software you should use and what specifications you need?
If you've searched YouTube and still don't know what to do, you've come to the right place.
Splitting time between childcare and after-work Dad YouTuber in his 40sFor me, 'editing speed' is directly related to 'profit' and 'time spent with family.' Before I became a full-time writer, I spent the same amount of time as you.
Revealing the Optimal Settings for Final Cut Pro
Final Cut Pro's cost-effective capabilitiesBecause I didn't know much about it, I tried other programs and wasted money on the wrong equipment. But the answer was in "The Optimal Settings for Final Cut Pro."
From now on, for 'FCP users' Cost of purchasing unnecessary equipmentand save, Cut your editing time in halfExternal SSD (I'm using one) and dual monitors We reveal all the best video editing combinations.
So, let's go ahead and explosively increase your editing speed as a YouTuber.
2. Three Reasons Why a YouTuber in His 40s Sticks to Final Cut Pro
Actually, before choosing Final Cut, I looked for a lot of free programs because I am the type of person who chooses something that is at least a little bit cost-effective.
DaVinci, which specializes in capturing colors and even offers free video editing, and Capcut, which provides enough templates to utilize a young sensibility! There are so many different free programs.
But in the end I chose the paid Final CutI did it.
Final Cut Pro is more efficient than any other program.
When it comes to actually using it, I've experienced programs that lack subtitle functionality, programs that have watermarks unless they're paid, and programs that take too long to learn complex functions and are difficult to use. In the end, “Time is more expensive than money!” I found out that.
1) Overwhelming speed
Now that I've used Final Cut Pro, which is optimized for the Mac environment, I understand why video editing professionals use Final Cut Pro and why they love Mac computers so much.
My experience at IBM Final Cut program is optimized and runs stably without any downtime, slowdown, or occasional crashes.After using it, I felt like I would never be able to use any other program.
maybe Guaranteed to be the fastest in terms of editing time and efficiencydo.
2) Easy intuitiveness
Some free video editing programs are incredibly difficult to use. I even gave up trying them out. However, Final Cut Pro's timeline is incredibly intuitive.
Even a 40-year-old father who doesn't know much about editing can quickly learn it.
Premiere Pro is still widely used by video professionals and requires very detailed settings, so it takes quite a bit of time to learn and master, but Final Cut Pro is very simple and intuitive.
The MacBook Pro 14 M3 I use for editing | The recently released M series MacBook Air can also handle 4K editing without any issues.
3) Integrated environment without additional payments
Final Cut Pro is a one-time purchase with no additional fees. Subscription programs like Premiere Pro require ongoing fees, such as monthly or annual payments.
Filmora, the AI editing program that's been popular lately, also continues to incur additional fees. However, Final Cut Pro, purchased through the student promotion, grants you unlimited access forever without any additional fees.
Final Cut Pro is heavily influenced by hardware. Improved editing speedI need to upgrade my equipment. Let's find out what equipment I need!
1) Purchase an external SSD
Video editing requires a lot of storage space.
While editing, you save it inside your Mac computer and the files pile up. Because it slows down the processing speed and makes it difficult to store data.An external SSD is a must.
I also own four 2TB external SSDs, which I use with Final Cut Pro. Even though I don't shoot in 4K, I find them incredibly useful for storing and digitizing necessary footage.
Whether you're using a MacBook or an iMac, you can use Final Cut Pro. Dual monitors for more efficient and comfortable useIt is recommended that you use .
I work with the timeline on one monitor and the video on the other. I work on a MacBook or Mac Mini. Samsung UJ59 Series 32-inch 4K UHDI used it by connecting it and it improved my work efficiency a lot, so I'll leave a link!
Editing with dual monitors greatly increases efficiency.
4. The Realistic Cost of Investing in Final Cut Pro as a Full-Time YouTuber
If you have to choose a side job on YouTube while focusing on raising your child after work,Time is an important factor that is directly related to money.no see.
Stop wasting time and wasting efficiency by buying the wrong equipment!

YouTube has been running for 1 year! Dad in his 40s 🎥@traveljoongAfter this trial and error, I found 3 truly cost-effective cameras and gearInstead of buying unnecessary equipment, we are revealing tips that will help you make money right away. Check it out now!
The action cam was always in the hands of a father in his 40s for nearly a year.
At first, I was at a loss and had a lot of worries because I didn't know what kind of camera I needed. I only looked at expensive equipment.
But now that I look back, for a novice dad creator like us, Just one or two things you needJust having that is enough. Today, I will show you the answer clearly.
1. Action camera
An action camera is a must-have piece of gear for travel YouTubers and vloggers. Initially, I looked for an expensive camera because I wanted to capture high-quality, high-quality footage while traveling.
However, after experiencing traveling, I realized that carrying expensive and heavy equipment already makes me feel daunted. So, I decided to go with Buy a lightweight and durable action cameraIt is recommended to do so.
Light, simple, and durable.
I use 🔎[DJI Osmo Action 4 Pricing Information, Real-Life Reviews]You can check it out. You can get Action 5 for about the same price right now (which is too bad, it came out shortly after I bought it). There are three reasons why I chose this camera: From the side, I will explain it from now on.
The screen is large and full of battery. It seems like it's not easy to control the heat generation of an action camera. It's been quite some time since action cameras started selling well, but the issue of action cameras overheating is still being discussed.
However, DJI action cameras generate relatively little heat. I've often left them on for over an hour, and they never shut down or get hot enough to catch fire. Of course, they've gotten quite hot in hot Southeast Asian regions, where they've been exposed to the scorching sun for extended periods.
But it doesn't interfere with filming, Why the DJI Osmo Action Cam is Used So Often on BroadcastsI know what you're doing.
2) Optimized for night shooting
One of the biggest reasons I chose the DJI Osmo Action Cam was for shooting in low-light conditions. Action cams are incredibly vulnerable when shooting in low-light conditions.
However, the DJI Osmo Action Cam has a larger sensor size of 1/1.3 inches than its competitor, the GoPro Action Cam, and as a result, Accepts more light. Ultimately, this has a huge impact on reducing noise in the shooting results, improving image brightness, etc.
The author, while traveling in Seattle with his family, taking pictures of Ballard Rocks in the rain.
However, don't be fooled into thinking that DJI action cams can capture great footage even in the dark. When shooting with your action cam, we recommend limiting your shots to bright daylight, outdoors, or in well-lit indoor locations.
Except for dark places! Only an action camera can record comfortably without any special equipment, even in water, dusty places, or even in the harshest environments, without any special operations. Travel essentialsThis is what happened.
3) Audio recording
If you're conducting a seated interview, you'll obviously need a microphone. However, carrying and filming a microphone while on the go isn't always easy.
So, you need to check the sound quality of your action camera without a separate microphone. Over the past year of running my travel YouTube channel, I've rarely used a microphone, and it's still running flawlessly.
The part that says 'ACTION 5' is where the sound is received.
With its mobility, durability, and convenience as standard features, and its sound recording capabilities, it's undeniably a must-have for travel YouTubers. However, the sound recording unit lacks a windscreen. Noise caused by contact on windy days or near the sound receiving partBe careful that the silver remains large!
2. Mike
No matter how good the action camera's microphone is, it can never be better than capturing sound with a real microphone. I don't have one yet, but I definitely want to get one before my second trip. The first item on my shopping list is the DJI Mic MINI.no see.
I'm talking about this microphone because if you have a DJI action camera, you can easily capture audio via Bluetooth. You don't have to carry around a bunch of microphone cables. 10 hours of use with a 10g microphone I was fascinated by the possibility.
Easy connection when used with DJI action cameras.
Even when filming while traveling, the ability to record clear and crisp audio is essential for travel YouTubers. Whether filming interviews or capturing travel destinations, a microphone is essential for capturing content with minimal distraction from ambient noise.
While traveling As I keep records in the form of videos and photos, the most necessary thing is an 'external hard drive'.That's right. During my seven-month trip around the world, whenever I went to a large shopping mall, I always looked for a digital store.
Another thing you'll likely miss when trying to buy something last-minute overseas is external hard drives. (Even large foreign electronics stores don't offer a wide selection of SSDs.)
The best performing, lightest, and safest SSD
I have a variety of external hard drives because I buy them in a hurry here and there, but if I had to pick the number one, it would be 🔎Samsung Electronics T7 2TB SSD (Check out the unboxing and performance in the article)This external hard drive was purchased in Korea. It is made of premium rubber material that is lightweight and comfortable to hold, and it also has the best performance.no see.
If you're short on supplies, you might think, "I can just buy them overseas," but remember that's absolutely not the case. Bringing plenty of quality products from Korea is definitely the best option. Buy more expensively abroad(Vietnam and Malaysia do not have such products either.)

Conclusion
Running a family travel YouTube channel for a year has been a lot of trial and error. But through all the hard work and experimentation, I've also learned a lot of new things.
That's why I'm able to confidently introduce this to you. Going forward, I'll continue to introduce essential equipment and items based on my own experience. However, I'll only introduce items that I've personally used and can confidently recommend. Thank you.
A family trip to Seattle, a 2-night, 3-day itinerary is a breeze! For families visiting Seattle for the first time with children, we've carefully compiled a list of 5 must-see destinations, including the Space Needle and Pike Place Market.
5 Must-See Places in Seattle
When I think of Seattle, I think of rain, the Boeing Museum, and the movie "Sleepless in Seattle." Beyond that, Seattle has many other unique attractions. Today, I'll share some of them with you. A father in his 40s visited five places with his family and organized the necessary items. I tried it.
1. Museum of Flight
This is the most famous place in Seattle, right next to the Boeing Museum. Also known as the Boeing Museum and the Airplane Museum, this is a must-visit if you're traveling with kids. A must-visit destination for families It is one of them.
The entrance to the Seattle Museum of Flight
address : Seattle, WA 98108 United States
Business hours : 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
📌 Why it's a must-visit destination
It's OK even if it rains
In Seattle, where it rains more than 150 days a year, more than 90% of the museums are indoors, so you can enjoy them without worrying about your schedule.
Most of the routes are indoors, and the outdoor exhibition hall is also covered with a roof in the form of a hangar, so it can be viewed even when it rains.
OK with family too
There are many experiential corners throughout the museum where children can experience things, so you can enjoy the tour without getting bored.
A kids' experience zone where you can learn the principles of various airplanes while playing.
Each exhibition hall has a simulator that allows you to pilot an airplane.
We have a souvenir shop selling a variety of products.
Strollers and wheelchairs are also accessible
Because it is so large, there is a restaurant where you can have a quick snack when you are tired.
Next to the airplane museum, there is a real airfield where you can experience various airplanes flying.
A view of the Great Exhibition Hall, a six-story main hall
📌 caution
Because it is so large, it is recommended to allow at least 3 hours.
If you like to take it slow and look at things in detail, there is so much to see and experience that you could easily skip a day.
Even if you go at 10 AM, which is the opening time, there are so many people that you have to wait in line.
It's best to avoid the busiest weekends.
Wearing comfortable sneakers is essential, as uncomfortable shoes can cause leg pain.
There is a 3D cinema with a 25-minute screening ($5 extra fee) – I recommend just passing it by.
Pike Place Market It has a long history and tradition, making it one of the oldest traditional markets in the United States.This is where it is. Perhaps that's why it makes Seattle feel more intimate and familiar.
Because it's right on the beach, you can find fresh seafood, agricultural products, various handicrafts, and art, and experience the lively atmosphere of a traditional market. 👉3 Reasons Why You Must Visit Pike Place Market Check out the article for more details!

Clam Chowder
If you're visiting Pike Place Market, there's one dish you absolutely must try: clam chowder. Clam chowder is an American dish, a soup made with clams and other seafood. Despite the seafood, it's not greasy at all and perfectly suits the Korean palate.
Most restaurants near the market serve clam chowder, but this place is famous among tourists, so I wanted to introduce it to you. Even my picky son enjoyed it.
파이크 플레이스 차우더의 모습 – 보는 것보다 맛은 더 좋다.
If you visit Pike Place Market, I highly recommend trying the clam chowder.
There are many delicious restaurants and food options around Pike Place Market, but for first-time visitors, the options are limited. We were one of them. There was a restaurant we were originally planning to go to. The line was so long that I couldn't wait any longer.
I'd like to introduce you to Pike Place Bar & Grill, a place I visited without any prior information. My family and I were completely satisfied. We were captivated by the interior and atmosphere, and had a truly satisfying meal.
The interior had a strong American local feel, and I liked it even more because it felt like it had a long history.
The restaurant's prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere, noise, and taste of the food were all perfectly balanced. I especially remember the friendly staff. Among the dishes we ordered, the steak was delicious, with fresh meat and a delicious flavor.
The pasta had fish in it, but I felt good because I could taste the special seafood flavor. All the meals were delicious. It got a passing grade from my family. We had a hard time getting here, but everyone was satisfied with the meal.It was.
The lighting was bad so the photo came out yellow, but the actual taste was very good.
4. Kerry Park

The park is small in size, There is no separate parking lot.. (It gets very crowded during sunset and evening hours.)
There are not many lights and it is steep on the way to the park at night. It's a steep hill so it's dangerousI can do it.
For those who are not particularly impressed by night views, this might seem a bit bland, and the Space Needle appears further away than you might expect.
5. Ballard Locks
Ballard Locks is a lock located where saltwater and freshwater meet, serving as a vital waterway that regulates water levels to allow ships to safely travel between the sea and inland lakes.
And between June and September, you can see salmon migrating to spawn.It is a popular attraction for everyone because you can also observe sea lions hunting for fish.no see.
So far, I've listed five must-see places for first-time visitors to Seattle. If you keep the tips I've provided in mind, I'm confident you'll have a wonderful time with your family.

When I think of "Seattle," I think of rain, movies (like "Sleepless Nights in Seattle"), and the Boeing Museum. This was my first time visiting Pike Place Market, and I'd never heard of it before. I was surprised on my first visit. Review of Pike Place MarketI'll try.
3 Reasons to Visit Pike Place Market
While traveling in Seattle, I visited all the must-see tourist attractions. However, among them, If I had to pick the most memorable place, it would definitely be Pike Place Market.am.
Pike Place Market with its stylish sign
This place is 🔎It's huge, like the [Airplane Museum]It doesn't offer the same stunning night views as Kerry Park, but there's a reason I still remember Pike Place Market as a Seattle icon.
I started off with a grandiose story, but in the end Today's visit review of Pike Place MarketI'm trying to leave a comment on Klook. There is a walking tour that includes Pike Place, so be sure to check it out.I hope you try it.
There is one food you must try at Pike Place Market and that is Clam chowderThis dish is an American dish made with clams and various seafood, and it has a taste that is quite familiar and friendly to us.
Even though it was my first time trying it, my family and I were very familiar with the taste, so I expect it will suit the Korean palate quite well. Just as clams go well with kalguksu (noodles), the smooth soup and the clams' texture go quite well together.
I can't forget the taste of smooth and creamy clam chowder.
Pike Place Market, located on the waterfront, boasts an abundance of seafood, which perhaps explains why it tasted even fresher and more delicious. If you're visiting Seattle, I highly recommend trying the clam chowder.
So where can you get some? Many restaurants around the market sell clam chowder, but I recommend 📍Pike Place Chowder (Google Maps) I recommend a restaurant called .
A view of Pike Place Chowder restaurant
Address: 600 Pine St, Seattle, WA 98101, USA
Business hours: Opens at 11am, closes daily
This place is It is clearly a popular place for many locals and tourists.do.
Menu descriptions are available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean via QR code, and I saw quite a few groups of Korean customers while I was dining there.
The interior of a restaurant full of people
The absence of tipping is a distinguishing feature, and the chowder is reasonably priced. With regular hamburgers and street food burgers costing upwards of $10, a bowl of piping hot chowder is easily available for around $10.
However, we recommend avoiding lunchtime and weekends as you may have to wait in long lines.
📌 Pike Place Bar & Grill
The restaurant I'd like to introduce this time is not only a place that serves clam chowder, but also a place that has a strong local feel.
It wasn't well known to travelers and it wasn't a place my family had ever wanted to visit. I'm introducing this store because I happened to come across it and the satisfaction level was very high.I want to do it.
The interior, which exudes a local American atmosphere, is impressive.
Judging by the interior and atmosphere, it's clear that the place has been around for quite some time, much like the market's history. The staff were very friendly, and the food was quite delicious, so I absolutely had to leave a review.
We ordered cream pasta, steak, and salad instead of clam chowder. Even for families with relatively picky palates, both taste and price are acceptable.(The clam chowder here also gets pretty high marks.)
The pasta, steak, and salad were all above average in taste.
Even if you're not familiar with Pike Place Market, you've probably seen footage of fishmongers shouting and throwing fish at the fishmongers. I've been there too.
I was deeply moved to see with my own eyes a sight I had only seen on TV.All I could do was do it. Fish ThrowingThis was the work done by fishmongers to move fish quickly and efficiently.
However, as it has been introduced and received attention from many people, it has become a tradition of this market and tourists come to the market just to see this performance.
A fishmonger who does the famous "fish-throwing" at Pike Place Market
I was also lucky enough to witness the fish-throwing performance, which has become a Pike Place Market tradition. While it's not actually held at a set time, it seems like they do it whenever there's a large crowd.
Many locals and tourists cheered and enjoyed the sight.
In fact, there are many reasons to visit Pike Place Market other than the fish-throwing performance.
The scenery here is very exotic. It's hard to call it just a market. A diverse atmosphere, products, and the oldest market in the United States. It was enough to have the title of one of them.
Also, I can't quite put it into words, but I felt that complex emotion that traditional markets possess: the liveliness, the smiles of sellers and buyers, and the lives of Seattle residents.
The well-organized Pike Place Market
3. Starbucks 1st store
This is the first Starbucks store in the US, which I frequent often…
Whenever a special Starbucks opened in Korea, I always went there. I love to see where Starbucks stores are located, how they're decorated, and what menu items they offer. So, I observed the first store with a curious eye.
The first Starbucks store was much more modest and quiet than expected.
As a historic site, it's no wonder many travelers have been drawn to its coffee scene. Perhaps that's why so many people are lining up in such a seemingly unremarkable place.
I found out It opens at 6 a.m., so if you get there by 9 a.m., you can get coffee without having to wait in line like that.He said.
Leaving behind our regrets, our family left Starbucks after taking only a few photos. Our schedule prevented us from doing so, but we were determined to try the coffee next time we visited, even if it meant forcing ourselves to do so.
There are also a lot of people waiting inside Starbucks.
In closing
My trip to Seattle made me think about a lot of things. It doesn't matter if the city has a lot to offer or if it doesn't have a lot of flashy signs or attractions. Seattle is a place that calms the mind just by thinking about it.Could this be it?
Even though it was only a short two-night, three-day stay, I think I can understand why so many people love this rainy city. Perhaps that's why I still talk about Seattle so often, even though it's been quite some time since I left.
If you're wondering where to go with kids in rainy Seattle, the Museum of Flight is the answer. Get up close to large aircraft and space exhibits, and experience the cockpit.My child was very satisfied with the experience. Parking and access are convenient, so I highly recommend it as a family trip.
5 Great Reasons to Visit with Your Family
When I first said I was going to Seattle, the first thing I was recommended was this large airplane museum.
Actually, I didn't have high expectations, but it was a very enjoyable and happy time not only for my son but also for my wife and I. It was worth the admission fee.
It's so huge that I can't even describe it in detail (it's so big that it takes an entire day to see it).
1. Overwhelming scale of real aircraft
You can see real-size aircraft, such as the Boeing 747, Concorde, and SR-71 Blackbird, which you have only seen in books, right before your eyes. Just having your child stand under the plane and experience its size is a great learning experience.(They are so big and numerous that it is difficult to even take a picture.)
2. No time to be bored with experiential exhibitions
From cockpit experiences to flight simulators and touchscreen learning, there's so much to experience, not just see, but touch and operate. Because the space and atmosphere are constantly changing, children's concentration continues to be maintained.It can be done.
3. Best Indoor Course for Rainy Days
Seattle has over 150 rainy days a year. So Don't worry about rain in Seattle. More than 90% of the entire viewing route is indoors.You can enjoy it as much as you planned regardless of the weather.
4. Convenient indoor circulation and relaxation space
Wide hallways, benches here and there, and even a cafe space. A route structure that is comfortable even when accompanied by a stroller or the elderly.However, since the scale is so large, your legs may hurt, so please take breaks in between.
5. Living Education Site
From aviation history to space exploration, experiencing textbook-only content in person can spark a child's curiosity and enhance their learning experience. My son also found that watching airplanes helped him find answers to many of his questions.

Reasons to choose a rainy day
Seattle lives up to its nickname, "Rain City," with over 150 rainy days annually. So, on a rainy day, visiting the Museum of Flight is a great indoor activity. The Museum of Flight has over 80% of indoor exhibits, so you can visit it all day long without worrying about the weather.I can do it.
📌 I've attached a full map of the museum to help you organize your route.
The viewing path is connected, so there's no need to avoid the rain. The outdoor exhibition area is also a covered hangar, so you can enjoy the exhibition without worry, even if it rains heavily.
🔻Use of cafes and lounges
There are spaces where you can enjoy warm drinks and light snacks throughout the tour. Use these as a break if your child gets tired. Since the tour is quite long, adequate rest is essential. It's large so your legs might hurt, so wear comfortable shoes.do!
🔻Indoor photo spots
With a variety of life-size large aircraft on display, any photo will look great with just one airplane as the background. Everywhere inside the exhibition hall is a photo spot!
Collection of real-life tips
🔻Most rush hour :
Weekends are busiest between 1 PM and 3 PM. Try to arrive right after opening time on weekdays or right after opening time on weekends.
🔻Using a stroller:
The entire route is stroller-friendly, but please note that some of the second-floor exhibition halls have stairs only.
🔻Restroom and nursing room:
Each exhibition hall has a restroom, and a nursing room is also well-equipped in the main lobby.
🔻Bringing in drinks:
Water bottles are allowed, but food is not. There's a cafe on-site, so you can eat there. As for the taste, well... that's typical of food sold at amusement parks.
🔻Lunch timing:
The on-site cafe is most crowded between 12 and 1 p.m. On rainy days, there are plenty of tables outside, making it relatively quiet. However, if it rains and you have to dine indoors, it's usually only available before 11:30 p.m. or after 2 p.m.

Model airplanes are available in $15-50 and T-shirts in $20-30. They offer a wide selection of products. The quality is reasonable. It's worth buying at least one item your kids will like.
