his resident registration card... we should've already left. where is he? (he's relaxed even without his passport) (what does he have to say for himself?) being anxious doesn't change the situation. there's nothing i can do. i live in ilsan. it's close to incheon.
i feel so tired. i only slept an hour. before the plane takes off... i feel scared. - he has a phobia. / - really? - you don't have anything like that? / - no. i've never fallen from somewhere high so i'm not afraid of heights. you think that's funny?

i want to travel with you. it's great traveling with men like him. - it was so relaxing. / - you have a great time. this is our receipt. (the totem is actually the receipt) (they board the bell travel bus in 15 minutes) just board it as soon as you exit. we managed to board it. i've never been on a bus like this.

our hotel. (a 5-star premium hotel for $70) if you travel there 20 times, you don't sleep in the same accommodation. you want to try sleeping in different places. i've stayed at around 40 hotels. it has to have a beach view. right. the beach? most people imagine this.
an outdoor pool which connects to the beach. you like that kind of thing? (okay) i can't remember the name all of a sudden. the hotel... (let's see) (it's just a tall building) is there something behind? it just looks like a building from here.

i can't believe it. how can you stay at a 5-star hotel for $70? we're sleeping in the same room, right? - it's a boutique style... / - a boutique hotel. it's nice. to tell the truth, i booked a good place for my friends. - there are cheaper hotels. / - of course. i like it.
the view's amazing. because you're on a high floor. take a look outside. it's because this is the end room. i really liked it. let's go up to the pool. the pool's on the roof? - come here. / - i can imagine it. it's a rooftop pool.

he went to macao. - did mr. baek recommend food? / - mr. baek? yes. he asked while we were shooting. he asked him about restaurants in macao. he told him that the noodles are good. i could tell you that. i asked if he knew any good places in pattaya. he said there are no good places here. no good restaurants?
they mustn't use a lot of a sugar in pattaya. that comment made the local angry. - he was angry. / - did you see my gaze? we're not losing because of food. i come here because of the food. - thai food's delicious. / - i love thai food. it's a mix of western and thai. it's on the beach. - the beach? / - beach.

- blogs? / - you can show them a blog. he doesn't know. let's get another car. do you know jomtien beach, the glass house? you know? it mustn't be famous. no one knows it. not many people know it. you should visit places like that. it's better than going somewhere that's too popular.
this place is hot at the moment. (i'll take you there) (they board the songthaew after bargaining) i've never been on anything like this. i always travel on package tours. with a tour guide. (the songthaew takes them to the beach) how long did you travel? it's supposed to take around 15 minutes...

- it has a unique fragrance. / - it's smooth. is it okay if i make noise while i eat? this will taste great with beer. this is my favorite. - som tam thai. / - salad? it's like kimchi to the people here. what's it made of? the main ingredient is som tam. - som tam? / - it's sliced and seasoned.
it's really spicy. - it's mixed with peanuts. / - it's a little... it's like dried radish. - that's my favorite thai dish. / - same here. it's really crunchy. look. the chili here's really spicy. don't eat the chili. i ate the spicy part. the sauce is really spicy.
(they've waited hours to eat) i want to eat tom yam kung. - do you like it? / - yes. let's go eat that. (the 3 soups of the world, sharks fin soup, china) (bouillabaisse, france) (tom yam kung, thailand) - yes, tom yam. / - you have to eat that. i'm crazy about tom yam kung.
it's really addictive. it's here! it looks wonderful. tom yam kung's famous in thailand. what's this leaf? coriander. - i love coriander. / - coriander and what's this? prawn. it's the size of a crayfish.
is that a prawn? i thought it was lobster. look at that flesh. (the prawn is so chewy) look at the flesh tear. the flesh is really chewy. i think this prawn worked out. it's elastic. this is the best i've tried.
- the tom yam kung's good. / - it's thick. we never imagined this when we starred in plays. never. this is so good. the fragrance spreads in your mouth. the flavor isn't similar but it's like spicy fermented soybean paste stew. it's thick like fermented soybean paste stew but it's really spicy.

it's our first... - perhaps our last trip together. / - cheers. where are you going friend? let's make the most of this evening. people like thailand for... the food, massages. you can enjoy that at a really cheap price. massage shops are ridiculously cheap. yes, massages.
(internationally famous thai massage) (massages usually cost around $100) a massage here costs $5 an hour. $5 an hour. - isn't that amazing? / - thai massages? i want to go there! minkyo's a regular customer. you have to give a tip so it costs around $7. you could get a massage day and night.
we're tired so we should get a massage. you said you know a place. i'm a regular customer. i'm a regular customer. come on. long time no see. i came here with my mother. i took her to other massage shops but she said this one was the best. thai massage, 3 people.
(everyone recognizes mk) - he's a regular. / - they were happy to see him. he's like a relative. this is better than what you normally wear. let's play rock, paper, scissors. loser goes out first. rock, paper, scissors. (peek) (wide pants that breathe well) it's not bad.
it doesn't have any buttons. (sexy, no buttons look) sawadikap. you're lucky. you have a funny image. (funny thai style look) it's not strange. i'll turn around. (unique back-to-front look) (cute animal characters)
why are the clothes like that? the shop's cheap so they don't have uniforms. it was a little embarrassing. it's not a stone or oil massage. thai massage is done with the hands. that hurts. if it's a little strong, say baobao.
that means be gentle. if you want it stronger, say naknak. men should say naknak. naknak. (you want a strong massage?) (gets ready to go strong) good, good. do you regret it? i'm sorry.
what's be gentle? baobao. baobao, naknak. she let you have it. that's funny. you're so weak. when i come to thailand, i come here every day. - then the workers here... / - that's so relaxing. that's relaxing.
that feels so good. i came with my mom. if my mom wanted someone who has strong hands, i'd ask for a strong person. - the lady massaging me? / - she's good. she's strong. - she's strong, right? / - she's strong. she isn't really that strong. it's good to find the right person.
when you receive massages in thailand... she's really good. (before receiving a massage here) (i was a fool who received expensive massages) that's terrible. (after receiving a massage here) (i understood the meaning of relaxation) it feels good, right? i want to leave my legs here forever.
i can imagine how it must feel. thai massage forever! (their tiring first night comes to an end) when you receive a great massage... know the feeling? it's like walking on a cloud. it feels relaxing, right? because you're friends... it's very natural. - it's natural. / - it was comfortable to watch.
you know the location so well. when we were asked to be on the show... we'd been friends for 23 years but we'd never taken a trip together. we decided it was a great opportunity. we went and it was wonderful. minkyo, how good are you at speaking thai? i just know the basics. hello, thank you...
how much? can you teach us a few expressions? sawadikap, kokunkap. you say kap if you're male. if you're a woman, you say ka. sawadika. men say sawadikap, women say sawadika. now i know. women use ka.
it's like saying please in english. if you're a man and you say sawadika... hello! (you could be mistaken for a woman) - that's a good example. / - you're good. how did you think of this? - you have to be careful. / - that's an exaggeration. - hello is sawadikap. / - sawadika. what's thank you?
kokunkap. if you say the greetings properly, locals may think you're thai. do they keep asking you things you don't know? how much is thaorai krab. if i say that accurately like a local, they keep talking to me. they throw expressions at me. (totally confused)
i say excuse me and end up speaking english. i remember being really flustered. now, when i ask how much something is in thai, i can understand the thai response so i don't get ripped off. we really should go on the mk tour. you should start up a travel agency. i told him this on the plane. i told him he should start up a thai restaurant.
hong seokcheon owns one, right? it should be you. - he's right. / - i recommended it to him. he knows what tastes good in thailand. he knows what suits korean taste buds. i was really surprised. i've been to thailand several times. i've never been to a $5 massage shop. foot massages cost around $5 but
places where you get changed and lie down... - $5? / - they cost at least $20 to $30. there are even cheaper places. there's a $3 place. we said we didn't want to go there. there's a $3 place? - $3.50. / - who knows what clothes they'll have? we didn't know what clothes they'd have. we had sweated a lot too.
we wanted to take a shower so we went there. you took a shower. - you can shower there? / - a $5 massage shop... i really want to say naknak there. in bangkok and pattaya... one thing you have to do is get a massage. i've been to both expensive and cheap places. if you go to a shop that costs around $50, there's a 4 and a half hour course.
women love that. i hated people touching me when i was little. now that i'm older, i love being touched. - nice. / - this feels great. it's nice when someone brushes against me. you'll learn later on. i didn't like it either. okay, now... let's see more of where are you going friend.
what's let's go in thai? - let's go! / - let's go, okay? let's go! (the second morning, what are they up to?) (hyungjun is already awake) we woke up really early for a trip. we woke up before the alarm. we got up too early. what are we doing today?
today... we're going to enjoy watersports. it's great lazing around. you don't want to get up. (these middle-aged men are out to eat today) - it looks good even now. / - rice noodles. this is delicious. i love pu pad pong kari. (but)
but! don't ask me to do this with you next time. i'll slap your ear silly. (this is wrong) it's really... - what's this? / - what is it? (they were blown away by something too exciting) don't grab me even if your rope snaps. it's making me reflect on my life.
i won't hang out with my friends anymore. it was just men so it was fun even though we had a full schedule. (they hire a jeep before eating) you can rent a car there? you can rent cars or motorcycles. it really feels like a different country now. driving along the beach on a off-road car. it feels cool with the breeze, right?
if you're on a family trip and want to borrow this, they'll say you're crazy. men like being cool. - let's go. i'm hungry. / - it's totally open. - off-road car. / - we're having rice noodles. - rice noodles? / - yes. - that place? / - i told you i'm a regular there. ($2 authentic rice noodle soup) - it was totally amazing. / - $2?
- $2. / - that's crazy. a rice noodle soup shop. follow me! it seems like a good place. - now... / - is it lunch time? we've arrived between breakfast and lunch so there aren't many people here. - you have to line up here. / - locals eat there. a local restaurant. is this entire area one shop?
the rice noodle soup place is the main shop. there are other shops on the side. it's early so there aren't many places open. there are a lot of shops. it's similar to a food court. i feel excited just looking at this. beef rice noodle soup? ox knee? - i eat ox knee. / - beef for me. - beef for me. / - i want a big size.
(minkyo orders rice noodle soup in thai) (what?) (who did he just flirt with?) do you know her? (who is she?) (she runs over at the sight of minkyo) what? the waitress here. i was in the kbs drama, "you are the only one."
i played a filipino. your acting was wonderful in that. my photo with her was used as my mom. my face was covered with jeong hanyong's face. i cried looking at her photo. this is my dad, mr. byeong. this is mom. (passionate performance) she doesn't know she was on tv in korea.
- i didn't tell her. / - what about portrait rights? how did you take a photo? - i just asked her for a photo. / - a souvenir? when i come here, i always eat som tam thai and ko mu yang. what's ko mu yang? pork neck. is it good? it's smoked.
- just eat what i eat. / - okay. (he flirts again) he's like an indigenous person here. he fits right in. all the employees know him. i'm a regular at those places too. - do we pay in advance? / - yes. pay in advance? that's a different shop.
our food's here. (at last! their rice noodle soups arrive) - that's ox knee soup. / - look at all that meat. - the meat... / - $2.60? - it was so tender. / - that... that's the special. it's a little more expensive. - it looks expensive. / - $2.60 is expensive? - it has a lot of meat. / - a lot of ingredients. shouldn't there be around this much soup?
(the soup amount in korea) - this is the right amount. / - is it? it's salty so you can't eat it all. - it looks salty. / - it's a little salty. it looks salty. (he tries the soup first) - it's good. / - it's good, right? let me try it. it's different to vietnamese noodles.
this is thai style. (he savors the taste) - it's delicious. / - thai food's so delicious. i keep going to pattaya because of that place. the rice noodle soup is so good. he really looks like he's enjoying it, right? the noodles are so soft. the meat's really tender. - vietnamese noodles have more soup. / - it's good.
it has more soup. this tastes like it's been boiled longer. the meat's soft as it's been boiled for ages. it's really soft, right? it's like chicken soup with ginseng on a hot day. so this is what thai rice noodle soup tastes like. this would sell like crazy in korea. korean soup is clear. the soup here isn't like that.
he drank it all. it's thick, right? i didn't drink but i've recovered from a hangover. i've never eaten all the soup before. i keep coming to pattaya for this soup. (the soup's made him come to pattaya 27 times) where are we going now? (ko lan island) - are you going to play now? / - ko lan.
you're going to an island. you're going for a swim. (coral can been seen up close at ko lan island) is this the dock? there are too many tourist groups. we're going to board here, a little more privately. (where have they come to avoid the crowds?) it's a little slippery. speed boat, jet skis...
the yacht's great. sea walking, snorkeling, parasailing and lunch. a barbeque lunch and lasagna. look at the color of the ocean. (the beach is more beautiful the closer they get) the water's pretty to the left. the water's so clean there. we're going to tien beach. most people go to tawaen beach
or samae beach if they want somewhere quiet. there aren't a lot of people here. hi. - they're so beautiful. / - they look like models. what's this? is it a resting place for dogs? - a resting place for dogs? / - it's under the tree. it's sitting under the tree. - 1, 2... / - why there? a resting place.
it's hot. how long have you been here? how long have you been lying down here? you should go home. you could die if you stay here. - sorry. / - where's your home? even the dogs are laid back there. dogs are considered precious in thailand. they believe people were born again as dogs.
(please just go and play) (ko lan island's affordable watersports package) it was fun. jet skis are fun. you'd get totally sunburnt doing that. we got totally sunburnt. it's only $17. that looks fun. - the water's salty. / - it's really salty.
(i'm going to cool down my friend) (thanks) (here's some more) put some water here for me. did you get burnt? yes. (bliss) it'd be fun going with your friends. (it's time to cool down!)
- what's that? / - they're going to do something. parasailing's so scary when you first go up. you're not scared. (flying in the air looking down on the beach) you can see everything from here. it's fun. it's nothing. (junsu's dad goes up) - i'd forgotten about junsu. / - right.
(he flies into the water?) i'm still junsu's dad. don't put me in the water. (happy even in the water) - the breeze feels so good. / - right. (parasailing 20m above the sea) everything's below you when you float. (he hasn't gone up yet) - he hasn't gone up. / - he's scared of heights.
- he's scared of heights. / - that's right. can he overcome it? - are you scared of heights? / - yes, so... i can't go paragliding. - i can't. / - why? are you scared? i tried it once and... i had to do it as it was television. it's dangerous and i did it. i'll let you live on this trip.
i won't kill you. don't worry. that kind of thing... i can do anything else but not paragliding. (okay, hyungjun...) (i made it parasailing just for you) (terrified) minkyo! is it okay? how long do i have to do this?
how time? - how time? / - he asked how time. this is exciting. i can't feel my legs. - is he doing it? / - no! it's like he's being dragged away. you didn't pass out? it's like he's being dragged into an alley. my friend is flying!
it look like cg. bye! it's fun once you're in the air, right? - i felt okay in the air. / - it's scary when you go up. at first when i went up... (his legs keep swaying) my legs were loose from the massage. (the beautiful ocean lies in front of his eyes) (hyungjun begins to enjoy the view too)
they're totally excited. i'm going to fall on the roof. hyungjun, it's fun, right? i felt like a bird. my crotch is really sore. (his crotch is sore too) i think the ride's really short because the customers could go numb. it hurts too much to keep flying any longer.
(part of the package, ko lan island lunch) - what's this? / - it's like eating on the beach. the lunch is part of the course. i think they've deep-fried this. what's this fish? it's a tropical fish, right? i think it's a sniper fish. what tastes similar to this? i think it tastes like spanish mackerel.
it's more chewy. the fish was surprisingly good. they like fried foods here. it's a lot better than i expected. set menus aren't usually very good. i wasn't expecting much but this is good. it's so good having minkyo around. poor food is annoying and a waste of money. we don't know what to order.
you choose good food for us. i'm glad i came with you. not many celebrities know tourist locations like him. right. that's true. i'm amazed that he knows so much. what celebrity goes to the same place 27 times? what are the viewer ratings for this? - send us again? / - then... will people think it's because of joonyoung's team?
it will be different according to ratings by the minute. if we look at ratings by the minute... he's smart. the team with higher minute ratings... - that team... / - is it a bet? gets a shop in bundang. (shivers) what a lame joke. why did you say that?
are we going to ride motorbikes after this? there's a lookout here. you can't ride bikes in korea. men have a fantasy. men dream of getting on a bike and riding along the ocean. (a dream ride with friends) (you guys are handsome) it looks fun.
you need to have a license to ride. so this is it. it reminds me of dalmaji pass. you're right. (they look down on the blue ocean) we came up on that. the view's great. that's new york. manhattan.
is that a different place? - new york. / - it's pattaya. pattaya as seen from the island. (ko lan island lookout! check it out) where are you going friend! 7 years later! (friends had a great time on ko lan island) that's great. the last day should be eventful. we need to enjoy some thrills.
our last destination... i reserved this for you. (pattaya extreme sports) we should do something exciting. we don't get many chances to travel together. we should do something that we'll remember. okay, sit down. okay, hello, guys. hello.
do we have to make a membership card? write your names here, okay. you don't have any medical problems? okay, just skip that out. i said i wanted to go on a date. i want to go on a date. junsu's dad! jonghyuk! is it okay to write that i want to go on a date?
how much does this cost? - price? / - price? for the whole course, it's 3,599. - 3,900... 3,500. / - it's expensive. it includes food. it lasts 5 hours. do we ride the zip line for 5 hours? - it's long so it costs 3,599. / - in the air? is this like marines' training? you've all received guerilla training, right?
(should i kill him?) i'll hold this and take your picture. i don't think i can do this. i'm afraid of heights. - we have to do this. / - it was great until now. why do you want to break our friendship now? we won't do everything. i'll put you into consideration. (starting point for the short course)
(join the full course from the 18th point) (finish line for all courses) is it really that long? the course is over 5 hours. you eat too. (5 hours is like guerilla training) there's something way up there. (from the beginning) (their heads face up)
(a long way up) we don't have to climb up the tree, right? we have to beat the other team. - let's go. / - let's go. - should we go? / - go! go! (steep climb and poor stamina, tired 43-year-olds) this is like hiking. minkyo made a mistake in planning this.
don't ask me to do anything like this ever again. don't make us homesick. don't make me miss my wife. this is a boys' trip! wait. ride it first and speak. are we going to ride now? this is amazing. take a look. (current location)
we have to ride this. how high up are we? how tall is this tree? it's amazing that the trees have been placed in the perfect locations to do this. that's going to end up as another course too. minkyo, ask when they installed this. - 7 years. / - it's been 7 years. but cable changed about 3 months.
they check it every morning. 3 months ago... they check the cables 3 times a day. safety first. how were these cables installed? i know. by the korea electric power corporation. - geez, your jokes... / - no wonder you're friends. it's really scary.
i don't like this. this is a little scary. - camera goes first? / - then last... the camera's going down first. (the cameraman goes down first to film) (hyungjun doesn't want the camera to go first) is it like a cable car? if you fall, is there water below? the ground? i hate this kind of thing.
i'm scared. i'm not supposed to hold this, right? you can hold it... - don't turn it. / - don't use your fingers or move it. just hold the rope. it's fine. (eyes filled with fear) (worried) (relieved) (change in human emotions.avi)
- he likes it. / - he's smiling like a baby. (he overcomes his fear and rides through the forest) i thought you were a newborn baby. your smile's so innocent. i felt really refreshed as i went down. - the air must be so fresh. / - you look so cute. i felt like tarzan. that was scary. (it's fun)
(open your eyes wide) (sook's eyes widen too) (short course users can enjoy the 300m course) (prince of the jungle) (tarzan minkyo) he appears relaxed. (he lands by using his body weight) you need to lose some weight. you came in up to here.
you almost snapped the tree. this is fun. it feels so cool. how many meters is it? - 30m. / - the longer course... - some are 40 to 50m. / - i think it was longer. friend, i love you! (the exciting jungle! what's up next?) it's nice resting for about 2 days in thailand.
- it'd be better to stay longer. / - right. this is a seafood place that i often visit. - seafood. / - seafood! it's famous among people who know pattaya. the original restaurant is in naklua. this outlet is in sai sam. it tastes better here. that's not busan, right? i want to go on the mk tour.
(naklua, sai sam) this restaurant... this outlet's better than the original restaurant. they're friendlier too. - do you know all the people there too? / - yes. i'm not that close to the people here. once you order, they make it here. - they have crabs. / - they bring it. the crabs are big.
- size? / - yes. x-large. - i'm addicted. / - x-large. - jonghyuk, geez. / - he's funny. korean people really like pu pad pong kari. that looks delicious. crabs are fried with curry. they added prawns too. goong pad pong kari.
goong is prawn. pu is crab. oh. goong pad pong kari. (how does the pu pad pong kari taste?) (a huge crab pincer) it's sort of like okonomiyaki. are your teeth okay? hey, you broke a tooth. look at the flesh.
(savor the white flesh) it was delicious. you should order rice, have it with the sauce. if you mix it with rice... the rice isn't sticky. it tastes great mixed with the sauce. you should eat fried rice with pu pad pong kari. that's the way to eat it! - pattaya's good. / - this is delicious.
the combination's really good. the fried rice is good. it tastes great like this. the egg turns hard if you cook it for any longer. it becomes hard. the egg's been cooked perfectly. it's soft. crayfish has been seasoned with garlic sauce. it's been stir-fried with garlic sauce.
it's usually fried. - no! / - it looks delicious. lobster is really expensive. the sauce is unique. the prawn sauce... people want to eat lobsters in thailand because it's really expensive in korea. but it's not that cheap in thailand. it's quite expensive so
i think it's better to eat crayfish dishes instead. it's good value. this is difficult to watch. this is really hard. i want to eat thai food after this. - you crave it, right? / - i can't help it. i'm dying to eat it. this is the oyster dish.
oysters? it's like oyster pancakes. it has bean sprouts in it. oysters and bean sprouts. it's really different. try it. (attack on the taste buds) (it looks unfamiliar) it's so delicious.
you said you don't like oysters. i like it but it's annoying if it doesn't taste good. (acknowledges the taste) isn't this a fusion dish? it seems like a mix of thai and japanese food, right? it's like potato pancakes with oysters. it has a sticky taste? this is paradise.
- it was delicious. / - pattaya's hard to beat. it's great going with men but if a couple went there... the trees have lit up. it would be great as a honeymoon. he went there for his honeymoon. it's the yard of a residential house. they turned it into a restaurant. i thought we'd ordered a lot. we ate it all.
this is how moms must feel. i feel so pleased seeing you enjoy it. if you feel like a mom, you should just eat the head. you ate everything. all the foods minkyo recommended were great. good work. (acknowledges) what did you think, joonyoung? they're strong.
if you ask me... they made the most of a resort. they did everything that you can do at a resort. - right. / - everything. last time, we saw a tour of singapore. after seeing that, i booked a trip to singapore. maybe i should change it to pattaya. i'm so impressed. there have been a lot of
travel programs about pattaya. this is the best i've watched. - it's different. / - mk was really good. he's the perfect guest for our show. - a travel planner. / - right. - he went there 27 times. / - he knows everything... about that district. was it boring until now? this is nothing.
no one wrote that they wanted to go on a date. that's why it wasn't entertaining. i would love to go on a trip with minkyo too. but you can enjoy all that in korea. - he's attacking you. / - are you rich? no... how can you do all that in korea? these days... - he has money. / - okay then.
the zip line's in mungyeong, gangwon-do. - we have thai food. / - you can go parasailing. we have a lot of thai restaurants. you can't stay at a hotel like that for $70. you have your home in korea. a 1-day trip. - it's not the same. / - he's good. i don't know how to respond. you have a home.
- i can't beat that. / - a 1-day trip. wait. you don't think they'll attack your trip? i don't know. anyway... - he's a great speaker. / - he's good. he's scary. he's just saying whatever he likes. he's really good.
i think it was a great trip too. - but without mk... / - right. could they... - enjoy this much? / - it's impossible. - how could we go to pattaya? / - wait. i've been to pattaya before. i could've felt a little disappointed. - actually, i... / - i said, "pattaya? why there?" i...
(lame jokes again) - bring me a bat! / - that's enough. - don't. / - at first... - at first... / - stop. - when i heard it was pattaya. / - that was funny. i wondered why we were going to pattaya. i wanted to go somewhere nicer. after going there... it was like a totally different pattaya.
from this video, it wasn't a bonus book. i would want to go there for 3 or 4 days. like joonyoung said... he asked if you could enjoy this trip without mk. be honest. i was totally open. you revealed everything. i research good places. i compare, think and look for more places.
if i go there and it's not that great... "hey! let's go! we don't have time!" that's part of the fun. while i was watching your trip, i thought of my old high school friends. - right. / - of course. i want to call them. i want to go there with them. it wasn't on the video but
we didn't sleep as we talked so much. we would talk until around 2 a.m. - about the past. / - we have a lot of funny stories. we talked about the old days. we'd chat until 1 or 2 a.m. - then go to bed. / - okay. anyway, so we... we've seen the trip to pattaya now. - it's good. / - it's hard to beat.
(3 days in pattaya for $330) (how many travel judges will select this?) (the results will be revealed in a few moments) this trip... if you want to go on this trip, please vote! (where are you going friend, trip to pattaya) (how many of the judges will choose them?) how many votes for where are you going friend?
why do i feel so nervous? - the most we've had was 82 votes. / - let's see. the votes for where are you going friend? - 89? / - i think it will be a new record. - 99? / - no way. (how many votes did they receive?) - the result? / - where are you going friend? (bites his teeth) 79.
- 89? / - no way. - 79. / - 79. that's still a lot. minkyo, congratulations. i'm satisfied. you spoke earlier. do you feel more confident after seeing 79 votes? the style of our trip's really different. their trip was really well planned.
we were like, "go! buy! go! pay! do it!" i know what joonyoung's like. his traveling style is really carefree. i think men will really enjoy their trip. please look forward to it. yes, look forward to it. (the las vegas of asia) (macao) (asia's little europe, a mix of the east and west)
the floor feels strange. (the real men's tour!) (everything about macao) macao and portugal. (a trip to macao to satisfy the senses) (battle trip to macao, coming soon!) ("back again" by knk)
