happy new year guys! kurt and i are back in seoul and we just finished our 10 days of mandatory quarantine here in korea. regardless of vax status or visa, everyone coming in to the country has to quarantine, but since kurt is korean and i have a long term visa, we're allowed to do it in the comfort of our own home. if you're a short term visa or flying from a list of countries (the list makes zero sense and needs to be ripped up imo) you have to stay in a $$$$$ government facility.
im so thankful that not only was i able to quarantine comfortably, but that i was able to do it with kurt. i think i would have been in a very different mental state if i had done this alone, so if you're preparing for this for the first time, try to set up times to video chat friends and family (even if you're just watching a movie at the same time or something lol) because it can be rough. luckily for the two of us we were just antsy and wanted to walk lol.
hope you're all staying safe and having a good start to your new year. sending love as always and im happy to be back and ready to share seoul with you again^^

Do you think in sommer or with time this rule of 10 days of quarantine will change? Or rather not?
Do you think if I have an apt when I come, if they'll let me stay in my apt?
@@merle3519 your guess is as good as mine 🥲
@@sgeo8480 as i said above, its dependent on your visa right now!
Glad to see that you are well and have finished quarantine! And thank you for this video🥰 it eased a lot of my anxiety regarding self quarantine in Korea that ill have to do next month🥲
I love that you call your husband your weird roommate LOL
its not a lie :') hahaha
lol, (slightly) weird roommates are the best roommates 🤷🏻♀️
Honestly, I look forward to your vlogs every week, there's something about your videos that bring a lot of comforts. I'm so glad you had a great time with your family over Christmas and your birthday. Although you're in quarantine and you can't do much, what you're showing is definitely relatable and it's quite relaxing to watch 😄I'm glad you're finally free now and can enjoy your little walks again! You definitely inspire me in helping me find a certain aesthetic I'd like to have for when I start creating my own videos and watching your skillshare class has taught me a lot too! 💚
thank you so much truly :'''')
nice surname!
@@ZmogusBlogas you too! 😁
It's ironic how even tho you're an only child,you have such big sister vibes 🥰
LOL thank you!!!
I've lately started to really value a short walk every now and then, even when its cold and mainly for the fresh air. Must have been good to have been finally let free after the ten days ! And having company for that time would def make it easier to handle
little cold walks are the best!!
I remember that blog of that write-yourself-a-letter cafe like it was yesterday, I didn't need to know that it was *two years ago* 🙈 I really need Time to chill out and cool its jets a little bit. This was such an entertaining vlog, even though 90% of it was just filmed in one room. A delight as always!
right!? how was that not last summer hahahha
absolutely! thought the saaaame. it hit!
This video was sooo relaxing to watch 😻✨
🥰🙏 thank you!
I did the 2 weeks in Seoul in a tiny apartment as well. My boss said everything was set up and when I arrived there was no toilet paper, only frozen food without a pan, pot, microwave or even a kettle 😂. Also it was beginning of March so still cold, but they turned my gas off and they couldn’t turn it on until I finished quarantine. They sent me a microwave, a kettle and toilet paper the next day, so I had to use the kettle for a warm bath 😂.
No!!!! We were really scared that our pipes would be frozen when we got back (they froze last year) but we were lucky 🥲 hope you never have to relive something like that!!
Your notifications always make me happy, it's good that you are safe and sound at home!
thank you so much! hope 2022 is treating you well too :)
there was something about this vlog that was just so perfect, had me crying joyful tears
Thank you 🥺
I know this is all a romanticized version of your life, but it honestly helps me so much. Because I struggle a lot of times to see the positive little things and your videos keep me appreciating just walking in sunny weather outside or having a nice coffee by myself, those little things I sometimes need to be reminded of when I am caught up in pessimistic thought patterns. Thank u honestly.
Life is all about the little things and often the little things are the only things in our control! So definitely value that lil coffee or tea, or song on the radio 🥰
Thank you for uploading this video, I loved it!!!☺️ I was in quarantine in Korea back in August of last year when 14 days were mandatory and I ended up having a really hard time. For you to find the motivation to still pick up the camera and vlog is really great to see so I thank you for that. It was really funny hearing about your friend who didn't use their phone all day and then got a call, because something very similar happened to me: I was incredibly jet lagged when I arrived, so on my first day I just slept non stop; suddenly I got woken up by this loud, head ache worthy alarm from my phone telling me I hadn't moved in so and so many hours and that an officer had been informed. Luckily I didn't get a call and no one came by so I guess everything was fine, but right when it happened I was pretty shocked haha. It's reassuring to know that this has happened to other people, too. Have a great day and warm greetings from Germany ✨
omg my soul would have left my body!! glad that you got through it though, im not sure how i would have done it!
Marriage goals: being able to quarantine together without driving each other up the walls.
I’m going through isolation myself. Sadly I have COVID. Seeing this video motivates me to find some hobbies to keep me busy until I heal. And watching ur vids help a lot
definitely let yourself rest as much as you can! hope your recovery is quick and easy :')
You help me keep positive and remind myself everything will be ok, thank you 😊
it will!!! thank YOU!
Your Videos at 1am. Sure I’ll stay up and watch it immediately! Love your videos so much.
So glad you and Kurt made it home safe! I think in your other video in the US, you mentioned that time moves slower when you're not in Korea and I really hope that you get to also feel the same calming way you did in the US even though you're home in Seoul now :) I've also recently learned the importance of living slowly. Sending love from CA
im trying!! hehe it feels very weird to go about my day post-quarantine but i hope to have a routine up and running again soon :)
Glad you made it safe to Seoul and out of quarantine. Also, as someone who's temperature is usually bellow 36º I really felt when Kurt told you you were a dead person lol
thank you!! and yeah im used to it lol i have super low blood pressure so whenever people check it they're always sure im dead hahaha
This the highlight of the week for me hahah ~~ 🤍🤍🤍
taking a break from Swedish lessons to have dinner and lo and behold! new cari vlog! thank you so much for keeping me company while I try to not go mad with questions like "Vem", "Hur", "Vet", "Vilken" etc HAHAHA, so happy to see y'all safe and sound! and how lovely Louie enjoying his first snow omg
omg best of luck! any language with that many accent marks that english doesnt use intimidates the heck out of me hahahha
@@caricakes Spanish is my native tongue, so thank GOD I was able to acclimate fast to the markers because of it (I also just love pronouncing them out loud because it's so fun to hear my cute Swedish accent now lmaooo), but you learning Korean is something to bow down to because learning a whole new alphabet is SCARY to me
i quarantined for a full 14 days in a gov facility because i wasn't allowed to stay with my bf (who stayed with his mom who lived there) but i'd done my research and knew that ahead of going to korea. i went in the summer though, so i'm not sure what else has changed for how COVID is handled or how many others are vaccinated. when i was there, vaccinations weren't being given out to anyone besides the elderly but in the states i'd already gotten by second dose. i always enjoy watching videos of places i'd visited, i like seeing how things continue/change
I also sit by sun light windows to recharge !! Congratulations too you guys for making it though the mandatory quarantine
Thank you 🥺✨
Being married to your best friend is REALLY the best! 🥰 My husband and I have had to quarantine 3 times now and we are so thankful to have each other because it would honestly be miserable by yourself! Welcome back Cari! 🇰🇷❤️
Omg idk if we could do three times but youre right, we’re so lucky!!
The title is so funny. There’s this German TH-camr couple (she’s like the name of the channel and he does all the editing and also appears in the videos quite regularly) and they recently had a child and they never show him or even tell his name (which I find good, keeping his privacy) and sometimes they talk about him as their “(weird) little roommate”🥺 like “we had to keep the plants safe because our weird roommate keeps pulling the leaves” so cute🤧🥺
10:20 omg my heart wasn't ready for how sweet this scene was 🥺🥺
My quarantine time was so tedious. I just moved to Paris and start to living alone but I need to quarantine for 7 days and it really drove me crazy. I’m the kind of person who release my stress through walking around and on the third day I broke down 😂😂😂 I’m glad that you have Kurt with you to spend time with
Oh no 😭😭😭 glad its over tho!! Hope you’re enjoying paris now 🥰
10:27 you guys are so cute🥺🥺 definitely will follow that recommendation
I'm glad you got back safely! My country is still in semi-lockdown and I can't wait for the cafes to open back up, so that I can go out and read there. Just a little change of scenery can do so much, which is why I love seeing you going to cafes in the videos that you make. It feels like I'm there with you and it's comforting, so thank you!!
Hoping you’re reading in a cafe soon 🤞
Seoul is so beautiful! I used to live In South Korea as well and it was a blast and a blessing to experience.
So glad you both made it back to Korea safe and sound and that you got through quarantine. Here's to an amazing 2022!!❤❤
thank you always!!!
@@caricakes ❤
My favourite thing to do is stay up layer to wait for your upload on a Saturday night around 11pm-12am 😅 ( UK time ) so glad to hear your safe and had a great trip 😀
Thank you! Hope you have a relaxing night 🥰
My mom used to knit and crochet for high-end boutiques and it's still the wildest thing to me that people can DO this, it's the coolest thing, I always feel like my brain can't wrap itself around the patterns
the pattern for the hood thing i made a wild (an old pattern from the 70s) so its sort of a franken-pattern of a bunch of different ones LOL but yeah people who can make sense of all that are amazing hahah
Love this video. Especially because of the music; it's a cover of "This Charming Man" by The Smiths, which I haven't heard in a long time. One of my favorites growing up. Just an FYI.
I feel like leaving a comment today. Missed your video on the "upload day" since I was out of town for a very short vacation trip.
Anyway, why do I always feel like I need to grab a coffee every time I click on your newly uploaded video...so I pause the vid and prepare myself a coffee and continue watching..like always...hahahahah
I recently bought your Ana Luisa necklace when it was on sale! I’m so excited to pick it up from the mailroom!!
when you showed the letter I was kind of shocked bc it feels like it wasn’t that long ago when you uploaded the video with letter. I still have to remind myself that it’s not 2019 or 2020 anymore.
it feels like forever ago but also yesterday!
american in the uk here -- i also brought back tons of trader joe's tea from home !!!! loved seeing that haha
Your excitement to see Han river again was so cute 🥰
it was painful being able to nearly see it from my house but not go to it hahahah
@@caricakes The struggle! hahaha You made it! 🥰
I highly recommend the best K-drama 'The Red Sleeve', which marked the end of 2021. "The Red Sleeves" is a beautiful true story of the love between a king and a court lady.😢👍
Has it already been two years since the write yourself a letter café video????
Time… wow… what a relative concept am I right?😅😅
CONGRATS to being a free soul again!!💪🏻
Thanks for the vid as always and have a nice day! 🤗🥰❄️❤️
Right?! Time is such an odd thing 😂 and thank you!!!
happy new year Cari!! I left Korea in October 2020 and watching your videos bring me a huge smile. Wishing you so much fortune this new year
happy new yeaaaaar!
Oh my god, the letter!!!! When you showed to the camera, I was like: Is it what I think it is... Woah, ever since the video (which I actually saw at the beginning of 2021) I wondered if you ever received them. But obviously there they are now.
the second i saw the seal i was like WAIT haahahaha
The crochet work you did is so beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
Free and alive - congratulations!
Love the title! ^^
lol ;)
Welcome back cari. It's so nice to watch your seoul vlog again and i can't wait for the next video!
Thank you always!
Your vlogs are like a part of my routine.
:''')
Enjoy your freedom , can‘t wait to see what you get up to next. I love your vlogs! That scene with you crocheting with Kurts head on your leg is the cutest🥰
Thank you!!!
I just love when you show in your vlogs a glimpse of your cute moments with Kurt 😍💕
🥲🥰
11:49 IDK where it's streaming: Attack the Block was... interesting. Also UK goodness: Kinky Boots. Never gets old: Ferris Bueller...
love kinky boots!!!
cari, the happiness you felt after being free from quaratine was vibrating through the screen!! 😄 anyway, i am so looking forward for your trip/vlog to the Uijeongbu Art Library!!!! aaaah lucky you!!
It was such a bonus that the air was super clean that day 🥲 a perfect walk!!
That Starbucks and that library look amazing. I’m glad that you’re done with quarantine.
Me too 🥲😂
Very happy to hear TV Girl back on the videos 😁
^_^
Looking forward to your visit to the library that Namjoong visited😅💜
surprising. I've lived in the UK for 2 years and I'm Korean, but I don't like Korea's quarantine rules. In the case of Korea, it is too complicated and strict. you are so awesome I support your blog.
Hi Cari, i'm glad your back home and safe, good to see you out and about.
You always manage to make me smile and laugh at you just being you, not only clever, interesting, but funny as well.
Take good care. 😄XX
take care too!!!
Loving your crochet projects!
Thank you!!!
Any content from Cari is just pure magic ✨✨✨
🥰🥰🥰
I never get to comment because we always watch your videos on the TV. This vlog is so relaxing to watch, loved the crocheting, reading & going a bit bonkers with Kurt. It gets me smiling everytime we get to have breakfast with one of your videos. As always, thank you. :)
PS. Both Brais and I remembered the write a letter to yourself cafe vlog... crazy it came so late!!! xD
Aw come on Kurt isn't weird 🤭, I love your vlogs and you both are fun to watch wether together or apart. Cute little Louie, I bet he is missing you both. Welcome back!!!😀
i remember the letters of 2020! omg they finally sent to you! hahah so fun
i was so shocked hahahha
I also watched War of the worlds recently! Love love love disasters movies. About quarantine, I did mine in Canada around New Years and we were supposed to have someone call once a day to check in as well but that didn't happen! A big difference is that we had to swab ourselves at home with supervision from a nurse via videocall for COVID testing. Then we put out our tests to be picked up by a delivery company. I guess everyone was too busy checking on travelers at that time.
i need " here i am, trying my best" on a shirt or tote or something ... its 👌😂
😂😂😂
loved this so much cari! I feel like you could really feel your gratitude and excitement to be back outside through the video clips and the editing, almost made me a bit emotional :') and sidenote OMG i was just thinking about this cafe the other day, I can't believe you finally got the letter that's so weird it arrived at such a funky time! (cant believe that vlog was so long ago omg)
Thank you! I was def happy to be free hahahha
Your videos are like therapy to me. :) happy new year!
happy new year and welcome back! Have been following your channel from afar from the UK and learned a lot about Seoul, and visited the places per your recommendations last yr. Didn't realize you guys are living in the same neighborhood as my parents until this episode per the same testing center!!! Sending you guys positive vibes!! Thx for the skillshare class, will def check it out!
Thank you so much and happy new year!!
Glad you’re both back in Seoul safely!🥳🥳. And super pleased you are now out of quarantine! Happy new year🤩🥳💖
thank you!!! happy new year to you too!
Your weekly vlogs are now part of my routine and really helps me to relax and remember to enjoy my weekend! Thanks for sharing ❤️
hope this weekend was a nice one :) and thank you!
Hey Cari, happy new year!! Thank you so much for posting your quarantine adventures; I’ve been feeling pretty burnt out this weekend and your videos always bring a smile to my face! I hope you are well!! X
Hope the new week is better!!
Your vlogs bring me so much joy🥺🤍 thank you 💟
thank YOU!
I remember that letter cafe. That's hilarious
Omg I soooo want to do this letter thing now!
Love your vlogs so much - thanks for sharing them with us 👏
Thanks for watching 🥰
Had a busy day! Relaxing while watching your video Cari. Hope you are doing good 😊
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much for such good vibes and lovely videos! I’m currently doing quarantine (in Korea) too, still 4 days to go but I’m almost there! I found it very funny when you talked about having jet lag after the quarantine ‘cause is happening the same to me 😂😂😂
I’ve been trying to re-organise my home, finish a book that I couldn’t take with me on my trip and not doing much more, I was a little bored when your video popped out on my feed😍
I’m so happy for the opportunity that you have given me to join and try out Skillshare! I will fly to watch your class right away~
Thank you and stay cool😘
You’ve got this!! 4 days left was around the time kurt and i started losing our minds so be kind to yourself hahah maybe have a dance party with music from when you were younger! That always gets me out of weird moods 💖
So glad that you're free now!😍😍 much love ❤
hehehe thank you! love right back!
Ugh your vlogs are so relaxing and makes want to vlog so now imma join your class!
thank you so much :''')
binge watching cari is a must in sick days😆😊🤍
oh no hope you feel better asap!
Cari I want to let you know I totally love your necklace, it is just so beautiful and since you announced the collab with Ana Luisa it has been on my "to buy list" I always said I would get it when I feel like an actual grown-up haha kinda silly but I have been watching you since i was in high school and now i will be graduating college very soon and bought the necklace and I LOVE IT! I also got a matching one for my mother and i just wanna say thanks for all the videos over the years and for the necklace that has really made me for confident in me as i begin my young adulthood!
omg thank you :''') and congrats on graduating! its an absolutely wild time to be in school and thats amazing that you're seeing it through!
Cari I have to know… did you use a pattern for you balaclava??? It’s so cute! I’ve been trying to find a tutorial (because I will admit I’m a novice at crocheting). Have a happy New Year! I look forward to seeing what else you do this year :)
i laughed at this title and when you called kurt your roommate! hope you managed to recover from your jetlag. i just got to london from boston and the jet lag!!!! so tired!!!!
Ughhh hope youre able to get some natural light to set your body clock straight 😭😭😭
Alien disaster movies...excellent choice. When was the last time you saw "Mars Attacks!" (1996), "Dude, Where's My Car?" (2000), or "Evolution" (2001)? ^J^.
dude wheres my car LOL
Hello from Australia! I'm currently in quarantine too with a housemate who has COVID. I will likely get it too in the next few days :/
Here in Melbourne we don't get any contact, we just get a text message to our phone outlining the rules we have to follow and when we have to get our follow up tests. It's a lot of 'honour code' here but you can get into a lot of trouble if you break your quarantine.
i'm really glad your video went up because it's perfect timing really!
Hey Cari! Happy belated Birthday and Happy New Years to you both! I’m so glad you had a good trip and you guys are home safe. Your videos make me feel like I’m hanging out with a friend and catching up about life once a week. I’ve been watching your videos for almost four years I think and your letter you wrote yourself from 2020 being delivered made me realize how much time has flown by! Thank you for all the love and kindness you share! (P.S. I wanted to give an update from about a month ago that I finished Sorcery of Thorns and OMG. Thank you so much for introducing me to Margaret Rogerson, I am forever grateful.)
thank you so much and ahhhhhh welcome to the margaret fan club!!!! isn't she the best :') and yes time is FLYING but i hope that life is treating you very well^^
@@caricakes Thank you!! And she is! I read she might also be making Vespertine a series which is super exciting! I also grabbed Enchantment of Ravens and am excited to start it soon!!
Great video glad your doing well and feeling good. I have a second booster jag on Monday 17/01/22 my luck its my birthday but i suppose its for the best. Looking forward to 2022 stay safe
hope it all goes well!! kurt and i had some pretty bad body aches (mainly just felt really tired!) but we're happy to be boosted :) happy 2022!
I just finished your skillshare class and it's sooo good! Made all the notes, got inspired. Thank you for making it! ❤
Omg thank you 🥺🥺
Hey Cari I just had a question about living in Korea. So do you have to have a job in order to live there, or can people live there from another country, and just chill? I have always wanted to try living in Korea for a year maybe and since I got family there too lol. Please help me out how you started. Thank you so much!!
This was so lovely and joyful to watch ❤️ thank you.
Thanks for watching!
It must feel good to be back home, and out of quarantine.
it definitely does!
Haven’t watch the videooo yet, because for me it’s a whole routine where I have to bath, then get smth to eat and get the chromecast ready ;)
Yay!! The letters!! I remember that vlog.
i cant believe it finally got it back hahaha
@@caricakes feels like it was couple of days ago. Can't believe it has been more than a year. Time sure passes fast.
Hi Carii this is not related to this video but I need to say, ur playlist Summer afternoon in Howl and sophie's garden it's like a lovely and slow hug i rll need these vibes and i rll appreciate it, lots of love from Brasil❤️❤️❤️
🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰
Every Sunday morning starts with a Cari vlog! 😊
🥰🙏 hope you had a nice weekend!
“I apologize. I’ll be quick. (no I won’t)”. The way I cackled way too loudly. 😂. Glad to see you guys made it back safe and through quarantine!
i can never be quick when talking to a camera ughhh :') and thank you!
Hope 2022 is kind to you, Cari. Great tarot pull too! Also, Happy New Year wishes to Cari vid viewers!
Ahh yes the below 0 degrees “frisky feeling”. Just like winter-loving dogs haha. It is refreshing. Although just finished having -30C where I am though 🙃
thank you! hope 2022 treats you well too :) and oh god -30 is WAY too cold for me hahahaa
I just flew my first flight ever and it was 6 hours I can’t imagine flying across the globe :’)
You got me into the video so deep that I forgot my 700ml big coffee-mug and now its cold xD
omg i am so sorry hahahaha
That little green bag that is perfectly book-shaped is so cuuute! I need one like that haha, it's so annoying stuffing books in backpacks or tote bags where they can be bent :(
Right?! I got it at gwangjang market about 4 years ago and its one of my best purchases 😍
Omg I love your balaclava. I’m knitting them for my finance and I before we go skiing! X
Thank you!! Hope yours turn out great too ✨
trapped inside due to a snowstorm and your videos just make it all the more cozy
hope youre safe and warm!
