The fact that Kurt reacted 'obviously..' about Jongro is so funny because I just can imagine him saying that by watching your videos! haha
😂😂😂
Seoul resident here, mindblown by the Jong-ro thing daaaang
hahahahah right!?
LMAO when you started to explain that bell is '종' I paused for a second and was like "wait didn't she say she was in 종로? OH WAIT IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE" I love things like this. Similar story, it was so funny to learn words like 물고기 and 콧물 mean fish (water meat) and then runny nose (nose water)
right?! and omg nose water...got to love korean being so logical hahaha
@@caricakes something a foreigner would notice.
Don’t forget 눈물!
pretty sure namjoon (from what he's posted on twitter) was in that museum recently too lol. seoul seems like it's never-ending, always something new to see and explore 😍 i often (and now mostly) write things for myself that i just need to write, sometimes i feel bad for not sharing but i think it's also good to just write for the sake of it and for creativity and for just getting things out of your brain (if that makes any sense). stay healthy, we'll be here waiting patiently for your next video ❤️
thank you so much!! and ah namjoon, always copying my vlog ideas hahaha stay healthy too!
cari cakes Hahahaha! To the namjoon comment!
"Treat it like a baby" she says, as she takes a giant knife out to cut it. Maangchi's videos are an unprecedented tier of humor, lmao.
💯
it’s so weird for me my to wrap my head around the fact that seoul has 10 million people, while the population of my country is at 19 million!
right?!
my country's population is only 4m, imagine my fascination hahaha
hello from indonesia with 200+ million! hahaha
omg right! also apparently Tokyo has more ppl in it than all of canada....that’s just crazy
moominie It’s about the same now, but it’s still crazy: one metropolitan area vs the 2nd biggest country in the world!
Rainy Korea vlogs = me so happy💜
☔☔☔
I feel like I ALWAYS comment on how much I love your videos but truly I live for these 20 minutes that allow a break from reality. I always get huge motivations spikes after watching!
i feel the exact same way!!
thank you so much :')
😭 I just love your channel, my husband says I'm obsessed but I just love the editing, content, etc. Your hard work is noticed keep it up. ❤️
hahah thank you so much!!
Ordered Maangchi's cookbooks after discovering her channel. The recipes are so delicious, well worth the try.
yes!! kurt is always amazed that i can make decent korean food but its all maangchi not me hehe
I really like these “Cooking with Cari” segments :)
Hehe thank you!
That magical music towards the end of the vlog is amazing xx
🥰
Ahhh it’s so awesome that you’re writing again!!! I swear being filled with a world that exists only in your head is one of the most exciting feelings
yes omg!!!! and character building?! amazing
cari cakes yesss you get to create all these new people to fall in love with 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am so amazed by how frequently you post! Every time I get a notification that you've uploaded a new video, I get so excited! The jeju matcha coffee looked amazing! I just ran out of my O'Sulloc matcha collection I had brought home with me from my last trip to Jeju including my green tea chocolate T.T
thank you so much and uuuuugh osulloc matcha is the best!! hope you're able to restock again soon :')
It truly is sooooo good. Had to cancel my trip back to Korea this year, but am hoping by next May I can visit again and restock. Also your dubu dish looked delicious. I’ve tried many other Maangchi recipes, but never that one. Gonna add it to the list. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Your "grey days" are an adventure in of itself!
Also, the plate of sand to heat the coffee? Brilliant!
hehe thank you and right?! what an incredible way to heat things!!
I've been subscribed for a while, but I've never commented before. But I just wanted to say, I appreciate your tendency toward the supernatural and fantasy, and how, whenever you're walking in nature, you include music that really underscores your fantasy imagination so we, as viewers, can feel and understand your thoughts without even needing words to let us know. And when you called that one lovely lady in the raincoat a "flower fairy", I found it charming beyond words. I enjoy your videos for giving me those glimpses into Korea that I truly miss (as a Korean who has been living in the US for decades), and I appreciate the calming and soothing nature of your videos. I've also purchased for myself more than a couple of the books you've recommended, so thank you for the new friends and worlds you've helped me discover.
Hi there! I've only been subscribed to your channel since the beginning of the year, but I want to let you know that they bring me such joy! They're one of the few things I look forward to whenever I open TH-cam. We're facing some gloomy days here in the U.S (metaphorically speaking), but it's nice to know that I have some pleasant videos from Cari to cheer me up.
thank you so much!! you're not alone :)
the simplicity and openness in your videos always brings me such a sense of calm. love what you do as always ❤️
💕💕💕
Ohhhh my goodness. Did you just call that woman a flower fairy, or am I missing something. Because if you called her a flower fairy, that is the most precious, wholesome thing, and I love it and got teary eyed. I cannot put words to how much I love that wholesome, sweet description of a gentle stranger.
That first café was soooo cute I can't!! 😍
the flower garden with that music just healed my soul💕
Same hahha
that fairy-in-the-rainy-woods song was so incredibly fitting !! you really found a gem that fits the cozy vibes of your vlogs :)
heheh i love it!! and thank you!
edit: actually that pride flag was putting by the Mexican embassy
This video & the music in particular was so pleasant. It helped me realize I've been so stuck in the stay home & isolate mindset that I haven't gotten to enjoy a walk outside in so long. If only galleries were open again too that would be the best day. Thanks for the reminder to get out and enjoy time wandering😊
Hope we’re all out safely enjoying life again soon!!
Being in the middle of a heatwave while watching your video just relaxes me so much🍃🌧️💧☔
Just wanted to say your videos give me so much peace & positive energy 💗 The editing, music and everything... so perfect! Thank you for your hard work!
thank YOU so so much!!
i really love your content, this is so calming, just thank you for sharing all this and your videos are amazing!!
Just a tip is to wait until the melon gives when you press on it with your fingers, it has to feel bruised almost and that makes you know it’s perfectly ripe and orange! That was just a very unripe cantaloupe not a honeydew melon, which are usually smooth skinned :)
Actually this is the color its supposed to be! In Asia, this melon is green (google “japanese green musk melon) to check 🥰
I’ve watched a lot of vlogs but your vlogs are the only ones that calm me and bring good vibes ❤️
Im loving watching these vids during lockdown. When I can get out again I'm having a gallery / coffe shop / vintage shopping day!
The happiness of a fellow booklover when 1 says they are reading, writing and love to their heart's content. It really puts a smile in my face
I’m loving your videos so much, the music you use, the beautiful places you go - i’m mostly stuck inside atm so your videos are my escape 🧡🌿
Ahh, it's been raining a lot here in New York too! Which always makes me think that Seoul and New York have pretty similar climates even though they are on different sides of the world. We get really hot humid summers with rain and then really windy cold winters, brrr. Loved this vlog, as always!! Especially loved the shot at 16:14 with the reflection in the coffee - so dreamy.
It’s good that you found something to do that makes you excited it’s ok if you take 1 day off always appreciate and love your videos.
thank you!!!
I live for your vlogs, they calm my anxiety and just make me really happy 🥺❣️
thank you!!!!!
Cari's resident Norwegian is back and I just wanna hang out with Cari because she likes to do all of the things I like and she just comes off as such a wonderful person to talk to💕
Don't worry, you blew my mind about 종로😅😅
🙈😂🙏
Maanchi came up in my recommended videos a week ago and I'm OBSESSED with her now. I'm sure that the algorithm gave me that gift because I watch your videos, so thanks for that. :)
These videos are honestly so calming
Thank you for being such a kind spirit 💛💛
thank YOU!
I love the rainy vlogs, they’re my most favorite! (as hard as it is to choose my favorite vlogs from you) 💗
wahhh thank you!!
So nice to hear you talk about finding comfort in writing, that just makes me so happy to hear for some reason. This was a beautiful vlog and I’m in love with that painting from the beginning! Enjoy your day of rest and am so excited for your first ever BookTube video! 😊
that jongro fact blew my fucking mind. i love how literal korean can be
right!??!!!
it's rly helpful for memorizing new vocab
I loveeee when Cari cooks. Thank you for giving me so much peace as always ☺️❤️🇧🇷
🥰🙏
It's so nice to see a lot of people out and about again. It feels *almost* normal :)
that shot of the reflection of the trees swaying in the coffee was so beautiful!! all of it was!!
Another awesome vlog Cari!!! I always find your videos so beautiful and relaxing, sending big appreciation vibes your way!!! 👏☺️💕
i'm really living vicariously through cari's vlogs!!! thank you for always sharing these beautiful clips! i get really happy when i watch them :)
🙏🙏🙏
I love how you are taking us to so many beautiful places in Seoul.I've been 2 months locked up already, so is really soothing for my soul.Thank you so much Cari :)
🙏🙏🙏
Your videos Cari, always give me such a sense of peace. A true remedy to fix a shitty day. The music is absolutely stunning also! I'm looking forward to when galleries and libraries open back up here in Scotland. Thank you for your videos ❤️
maangchi is just iconic😂
she's the BEST
This was a chill video, just what I needed to pry me away from my obsessive reading of Kingdom of Copper ;-;
I always find it amazing how you can bring so much beauty and positivity to simple/mundane things. Your videos are great!
I always love watching korea through your lens!
Thanks! Heading over to the book Vlog!
oh cari i love your clips filled with love for living life, i bet seoul would be reminded of a place where cari lived to many online.
Found your channel through Taylor and already love it!!! I was born in Seoul but adopted and live in the US. I’ve only had the ability to go to Korea once a few years ago but am quite fascinated with the city! Thanks for sharing!
I don't know why but every time I watch you it calms me and makes me feel so much better, thank you for that I love your content and you 💕✨
thank you so much💕💕
I love fun facts like that! I noticed the same thing when I was learning Italian
I know I've already said this many times, but your VLOGS are pure relaxation! Seoul, the nature, your editing - perfect before I leave to work in a few minutes
🥰🙏
I've been binging your videos latelyyy
I got excited when I recognized that palace or whatever you call it with the bell! I was there in January!!! 😎
I don't know but this vlog is like therapy for me
i love your videos and aesthetic! so calming :)
Your videos bring me the most peace in these hard times 🌼 so glad you've also now joined booktube and am so excited to keep following your channels 💜
Cari I know you probably get these type of comments all the time but seriously, your videos are not only relaxing but inspiring as well! The fact that you can make your videos look beautiful helps to build this romantic aura about life, but also I love the fact that you keep it 100% real about how you are feeling and also talk about social issues. I just think you're really special, I love this corner of youtube that you have created and please don't ever feel preasure to create content if you're not feeling well. I'm sure all of us just want you to be happy and feel great, that's the most important thing :)
Also, I have to add that, personally, you have really inspired me as a woman. Seeing you explore all these places, sometimes alone and sometimes in company, I think it's amazing! Even if you're in a long committed relationship (I am too) I think it's awesome seeing you create your own space through everyday life.
oh my goodness! you! your aesthetic! your videos! omg ♡
looove the b&w intro! anyway a bit tmi but a couple days ago, i was supposed to study for this sunday's big exam but i just couldn't get myself to start. then i decided to watch one of your vids- it hit me hard that i've been so foolish to worry about something that i will finish in 2 hours. your videos make me realize that there are still so much beauty in this world that i haven't seen...and maybe everything will be okay in the end. thank you 💛
thank you!! best of luck on your exam! you're right, it's great to do good in school but its not life or death if you don't get 100% :)
Anytime you go to all these amazing cafes makes me feel like you're taking me on a new adventure and I really love that! ❤💕 I hope you and your family are doing well!!
Love your channel! Your editing and music choices are amazing. I have no idea why but I put your videos in the background while I do yoga in morning and i feel so relaxed afterwards!! haha. Came across your videos by chance and didn't know anything about South Korea at all (and now South Korea is on my must-travel to list ).
All of your footage is so beautiful and picturesque 😭 I loved this and have been loving your content
Thank you 💕💕💕
cari cakes no problem at all 💕💕 I’ve been thinking back and forth about moving to Korea after I’m finished my degree and I came across your channel while searching! I’m still really unsure about a lot but the beautiful scenery is almost winning me over 😩😂
your videos make me feel lot of things and that's big for me, i love how it feels bc it's been a while since i felt something, i guess (?)
im glad i found your channel, i luv u cari
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos
thank you :')
Rainy evening and the next day - brings out all the melancholy feels for some reason. The scenery + music is just 👌👌. I always save your videos for last because every single one of them is such a treat. Thank you for letting me continue to remember Seoul through your eyes❤️❤️
Thank you!!!
Hi Cari. Your videos are so authentic and realistic but watching them makes me get away from my own reality and stress and frustrations sometimes.. thank you.. this is truly your calling..
thank YOU! making these really help me mentally too so we're in this together!
Yesssss! Lawsy! Spread myself too thin as well. BIG and fun projects completed. Cari. I enjoy all you share! That cafe was so nicely designed! Thank you for taking us along! Be well!
Thank you always ✨

The last part of the video was so magical and relaxing 😌 So excited for your first booktube video!
Thank you!
I loved the music that you used from that cafe that makes Turkish styled coffee💕
Loved the huge wall painting of all the plants 😍🌿🌱 and that matcha was stunning lol 🍵
i wish my house had a wall like that!!
Hi Cari! Just passing by to say that your videos are so calming and fun to watch! Especially while having a somewhat stressful day because of uni exams 😥 Hope you stay safe! And I was so convinced that the melon would be orange too 😂 dang it!!
Thank you!!! Hope your exams went well 🥰
Always awake when you upload even though it’s midnight here haha, feels cozy to watch and fall asleep after

woaaah i’m also mind blown about 종로! i’m also studying korean these days, and i bought a 한자 guide to learn vocabulary through the chinese roots of words and literally EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW!!
When I see the notification of your new vlog I leave everything I do and just watch it, you don't know how much you inspire me and bring me in that place of positive and happy energy around me✨, you always made me feel that way ! . I'm a writer too but I didn't write for a very long time because of work and stress but since we are at the quarantine I start writing again and it made me feel so good 👏🏻hope I can keep up with that .. and hope you to do that as well Cari and who knows maybe one day you will publish your own book!.
Thank you so much Cari, love you 🧡🧡
I love watching your vlogs with my matcha in the morning. Thanks for what you do! I really enjoy every single one and the hard work you put in. I'm hoping one day the US can get its shit together so I can come to Seoul. It is like a dream city to me, the gardens and nature there wow. The VIBES.
ahhhh LOVED the little history/etymology lesson!! ♥️
💕💕💕
I love your vlogs so much! the nature footage at the end reminds me of a studio ghibli film! it’s totally okay to take breaks, hope you have a wonderful weekend! i always look forward to your videos! 🥰💕
This is such an odd timing for me because it’s like 4:30 in the morning here and I was just going to go to sleep but I’m postponing that cuz this is more important hehe thank you for you vlog, it never fails to cheer me up ✨
omg i hope you get some rest soon ahhhhhh!! but thank you!
You are spoiling us with so many videos 😭❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
I live for the floral shots, cari 😭 I miss Seoul so much 😌 Currently living through your vlogs. Stay safe!
