I've been trying to think of how to describe the kind of warmth this video has and I've decided-- this video is fresh baked bread. With honey. That probably doesn't make sense but my brain likes metaphors loll

It wouldn’t be complete unless I saw you reading Murakami at 3am in an all night cafe through a glass darkly. That’s how I found your channel, by the way, looking for reviews of Murakami. Stayed because of the great cinematography.

서촌에 사는 사람입니다. 서촌에 대해 잘 설명해주셔서 고맙습니다. 내국인이 서촌을 소개하는 경우는 많았지만, 외국인이 소개하는 경우는 처음 봤네요. 이 동영상이 내국인이 아니라, 외국인을 대상으로 한 점도 인상적이었습니다. 멋진 소개였습니다~^^
As a native, I would like to thank you for kind guide on Seochon. It is quite rare for foreigners to introduce here for foreigners while Koreans to do it quite often. very impressive and lovely guide. Thank you!

[@galas455]

Hi there Cari, this I think is one of your best videos, it shows everyday life in the neighborhood, power lines everywhere, rustic buildings, and just an overall feeling of relaxation without a lot of ultra-modern buildings. May I suggest something . . . how about showing a map with a circled area where your walking so that it's easier to google map where you've been. I don't need a map because I can google map using your links in the description box, it's just a bit easier that's all.

I'm a bit jealous that you guys in Seoul can go out and enjoy life as always before. In Europe it is much more complicated at the moment and I'm really struggling mentally because I've been at my house for more than half a year! Hopefully 2021will be better especially bc I'm going on an exchange to Spain and hope to make some videos there and finally live lol 😭

Hoping the lockdown can finally get this under control and we’re all safe and free soon! Sending love!

TH-cam algorithm brought me to your channel and I am so glad I found you! I live in Paris currently, we've been locked down on and off almost a year and I was so depressed that I couldn't go back to Korea this summer. At least I get vicarious satisfaction through your video 😭

[@nancyholland1877]

Is the the palace where BTS recently performed around the Chuceak? I liked your Namjoon reference, beautiful time of year in Seoul.

[@LunaRoseMeya]

Cari!
I kid you not, I baked today, homemade rolls 😍 in preparation for today / this morning's upload! Enjoying the vlog with my tea and baked goods.
I have to ask, was it easy to adapt to Korean food? Aside from the spiciness, were there any kinds of foods you maybe didn't like when you first moved to Korea that you now enjoy?
Side note , although tourism in Korea has increased because of our amazing boys BTS, I will credit to you too!
For showing us the most amazing places and scenery, the hidden treasures and occasional overlooked gems. You really do show Korea in such a beautiful light. Let's just say you do Seoul justice.
I'm a book worm myself and personally really enjoy these little cocoon comfy kinda videos. Love the diversity and array of stores! How does one not get lost for hours and hours on end in the bookstores you've graced us with?!
Once again thank you so much Cari ❤️🤗

[@caricakes]

wow thank you so much!! for me, it wasnt hard to adjust but you definitely need to remember to eat more fruit hhaha its expensive here and less easy to find than when i was in california so i have to remind myself to buy it. And i eat a lot more rice than i used to :) and trust me, many hours are spent lost in bookstore hehe time well spent!

I used to pick up gingko from Kyung Bok Goog when I was young. I guess this reveals how old I am. I did not know how beautiful the palace was then. I was just anxious to roast gingko nuts and roll them over sugar to eat them. Wow, soooo..... long ago.
