It might sound strange but I love your at home or doing mundane tasks videos more than some big hyped up work video like going to another city. As a university student who's done with stress of assignments, mids and presentations I just love seeing a normal girl living an absolutely normal life in a country far from mine. It gives me confidence and peace I don't know how and why. One thing that really spoke to me in one of your old videos when I was new to your channel was you taking umbrella outside when it was raining 😅 It's strange but these little simple things makes me feel better. You shouldn't feel bad for anything you are doing in your vlogs, just keep it true and honest. That's all we want❤❤
The feeling of going into a cafe or place to sit having tea & having something to bite & try just enjoying the moment must be the most amazing feeling 🥺🥺
@@ma4269and I do :) but i meant she’s in seoul a place I never been and i think thats cool she documents from across the world where most of us never been
My whole TH-cam homepage is literally videos of irrelevant things from 8 years ago. There is not one relevant, recent video recommendation. I never submit feedback or complain about stuff but I actually took the time to send feedback to TH-cam about this because it’s ridiculous. I feel sad for creators - I haven’t watched tv in probably close to a decade and I basically rely on them for my entertainment. Hope they fix the algorithm for you guys soon. ❤
Instead of the homepage, I always go straight to the “Recently uploaded” tab - this one seems to show me more of the people I actually follow and types of videos I like.
It's so strange watching your videos now that I live in Korea. Keep having to remind myself that I could actually go find the places you visit if I wanted to. This season has been difficult for me too, it's my first full winter here (I came at the end of Feb) and it'll be my first ever christmas away from home and family. The end of the year is a weird emotional time
I'm really glad you're feeling better! But I'm also genuinely glad that you're willing to share some of those more "emotionally messy" weeks. We all have them, and I think it's just such a great thing to talk about them sometimes and normalize them through that. But I know it's not easy to do even with people you're close to irl, so I can't even imagine how much harder it is with an audience. So thank you! For sharing, and being authentically you - even when that looks a little messy, or more chaotic, or even just more mundane than "normal" for videos.
I love your vlogs because as an American that has crippling travel anxiety as well as not having the means to travel to different countries, I feel like I always learn something. While your video may be a normal thing you would do in your day to day, as a viewer, I get to see sights that I will most likely never get to see in person in my lifetime and that’s just really special. I love your vlogs as well as your bookish content and just you as a person so thank you ♥️
Southern Hemisphere gal here, it's a lovely 22 degrees celcius... I love your B roll, you capture the right balance of scenery and "normal life" as well as it keeping me motivated to get to Seoul (not in winter)
Cari thank you so much for these videos 😍 I love how you capture the architecture, the dogs/cats, the nature and just life buzzing around in your videos. One day I’ll travel to Korea and read a book in a cute cafe like you do 😅
Apple cinnamon tea? Sounds delicious! I'm always parked right here at 6PMET every Saturday because these videos are always, always worth it! Hope your holiday season is off to a great start!
Hi Cari! I hope you're doing well. I'm an inconsistent viewer, so I'm probably not helping much with your analytics lol but your videos always hit the spot whenever I'm sad or just need to feed my escapism for awhile. I love that even though I'm fickle, your videos provide the same level of comfort and familiarity each time I come back to them. I think you shouldn't feel pressured to have an "eventful" or full day (although I'm so happy about your progress on the mental aspect of it!), because I love just seeing you read in cafes, do laundry, set up for your booktube videos, and other mundane tasks. I'm a slow traveller, and I think the best part of travelling is the "lulls" where taking it slow allows you to discover local bakeries, bookstores, etc. So your videos provide me exactly that kind of happiness! I'm planning to travel Seoul with my best friend in the coming spring, and I have to tell you I'm more excited about eating a 711 triangle kimbap than going to Lotte World! All the best! and happy holidays!!
Always makes my day when you post Seoul vlogs! I started watching your videos just to get some info about Seoul, but now I'm hooked! Thank you for putting so much work into them ❤
every sunday, my heart years for Korea more after watching your video, so i’m glad while i don’t have the budget to visit again for now, i can always go back to your videos to soothe this yearning 🥹👍🏻 that apple cinnamon tea looks like a warm comforting cuppa tea too i feel like making oneeee 🥹
Hi just here to say that please keep going doing cafe vlogs and stuff in the Korea 🥹 I’m gonna follow your reviewed places a lot since I just moved from stateside to here. Thank you for the detailed and cute vids!
The restrictions on tall buildings are probably why so many shots of Korea look so cozy to me. That, and the way it seems like there are always mountains in the distance, embracing the land. EDIT: That plot summary wall...my fears have been realized....we're getting the sky-sex book.
i just got sick with the flu yesterday, so i have been on youtube trying to find something to watch- genuinely love your content & am so hyped to see what adventures you’ve been on lately!! have an amazing rest of your weekend :)
The energy you gave off this vlog is insane!! Watching this vlog while eating my lunch and I feel like jumping onto the next flight to seoul 😂 have a great weekend Cari 💗
05:05 I went to a Korean coffee/bread shop near my workplace before and happened to sit across from the Korean owner and they gave us 2 filled buns! I couldn't afford to try it and they gave it for free. Very generous!
Great video. Enjoy your videos in general. I started watching your videos because I love books, culture and travel. I know very little about South Korea and watching your videos has moved it up on my list of places to visit considerably. I do struggle with understanding the flow of where you live in Seoul. Maybe like people that have never been to New York City and know little about it as for-understanding the layout,etc. When you showed the street and building from the office it helped as your apartment area looks soo different and maybe far from downtown? Appreciate your content. Looking forward to the next video. Happy Holiday’s from Colorado
Cariiiii Ive been following you for years and I still dont know how u succeed in making the sponsorship part with the same sponsors always so fresh and new and never robotic and boring. They better give you the 💰💰💰for that!
14:45 this is so real. I’ve only just started making videos and am still in the process of finding my own style etc but I’m already struggling with this. I sometimes feel like I need to show everything when that’s just not true. I / we can also keep things just for myself / ourselves and enjoy them without anyone witnessing them. It’s really cool that you were able on those days to keep a balance ❤
I love your videos, cari!! it isn't the fun things you do that draw me in--it's your view of the world and the way you frame things. your videos are so comforting
Yes, I second that!!! I even love the very „everyday not exciting bits“ because- as lovely as they are- I‘m here for the editing style, the music transitions, the view on life and the not exiting things are even more relatable. As much as I‘d love to go to cafes and explore as much as Cari - and I truly love her for the inspiration to do so in my own life + seeing Seoul), the sad reality is - I love vlogs where the „I have to do chores, I‘m spending hours editing/working“ IS the content, much closer to my own life 😊. So really- Cari, you win either way :D film whatever you like and what keeps you sane 😅
Cari, just wanna tell you that you re my fav TH-camr ever. And I’m talking about your two channels. I love books, love cafe, travel, chill (introvert) kinda vlogs, nature and hearing your thoughts or talk about anything. So, yea, I don’t comment often but I just wanted to share some love ❤
Happy Holidays to you guys! Hope you guys are well and thank you for sharing your lives in Korea with us! Do you think you will ever move back to US and do the same thing you have been doing in Korea showing us around :) Sending you guys love and let us know if the movie is worth it :)
happy holidays! we're definitely going to move to the US at some point, yes^^ and i think the movie is worth it but might not be everyone's favorite. i was a little bored at times because i had JUST read the book hahaha
I'm watching this video at the tail end of a bout of sadness. Thank you so much, Cari, for speaking to us so candidly about your feelings. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying, it makes me feel a little less alone ♥️ wishing you a happy holiday season ✨
Cari, I'm temporarily stay at home mom, sunday mornings are my glimpses of hope through the groundhog's days - your new videos! i've noticed the changes on my home page here on youtube as well BUT. you're always on top of my page (and heart
I just wanna say thank you, cause I started watching your videos some months ago, just because I'm learning English and I found your channel and my english is getting better than ever. :)) I really love your trips to cafes it's so cozy and you are a lovely person as well. So thank you so much, I will always be here.
I thought my youtube was being weird! Thanks for telling me it wasn't me! What a lovely vlog, your emotions had a rollercoaster ride, but mine did too this week so it felt comforting. Today it was 24°C and sunny, so i would say perfect weather for a day out and adopting ~buying~ new baby plants. Hope you have a wonderful week cari!
How lovely to see you on the cafe where you tasted the apple cinnamon tea,qute cats,books,you walking around, you lift my spirits every sunday!!!! Thank you Cari for being you!!!
I have never read or watched The Hunger Games so I can't wait to hear. I totally understood " lumpy" it is gray and it hasn't snowed in days BLAH. I am so going to make an apple cinnamon tea like that YUM!
Oh i would definitely recommend them! Though it was a lot harder to read now as an adult who can clearly see that the dystopia in the books is not far from where real life is :/ The movies are all great too!
Just wanted to drop by and say that my husband and I enjoy watching your weekly vlogs during the weekend. Feels like we're hanging out with you and just chilling. Hubby refers to you as "our bestie" LOL. We've gotten so many cafe/sightseeing recommendations from your vlogs and we're super thankful for them! Thank you for always generously sharing your days with us, no matter how mundane you think they may be..sometimes it's the little things that help us connect with you. Have a great week ahead Cari!
I do love your vlogs and watch all of them. I sometimes forget to comment though as I watch them on my TV. I love all the different cafe’s you visit and so wish we had ones like that here in the UK. Thank you for showing such amazing and beautiful places…❤
Hi Cari, I just realised that I have been following you for a while. And never commented. But let me say that I like your video's because you transport me back to Seoul everytime. And you do it in such way that I get to enjoy all the feelings or new happenings as if I would be there myself- because we notice the same details. I love reading and cafes and its fun to experience how it is to live in another country. keep doing what you're doing :)
Happy holidays to you and Kurt 😊, may this year end in the best ways for both of you❤❤ your videos are always on point! Keep shining and thriving dear Cari🥰
Your video’s are my guilty pleasure on early Sunday mornings ☺️ you also triggered me wanting to learn more about Korean life , the café’s all seems so esthetic also the food and beverages. I am even into watching Korean series on Netflix 😊 and the language . And it’s good to show real life as it is 👏🏻, thanks for sharing , have a lovely week 🍀
I just discovered your channel and I love books, cafes, and Korea so thought I would subscribe. I enjoy how you are down to earth, yet have an artistic soul.
i love your vlogs; your book tube channel. you have a charming demeanor & though i dream of traveling to South Korea, your vlogs certainly make that journey more appealing. I agree about youtube. not sure what/why this is happening. i have to actually search for channels that are my subscriptions. happy holidays! from the States.
I haven’t been updated with your videos for a while because I’ve been so busy. Now that finals is almost over, it’s such a treat to have this video. Thank you Cari 🤍
the new algorithm brought me back to your videos after a long hiatus ~ so i’m happy abt that, but sorry you are struggling 🥺💕 i agree ballads and songbirds and snake was a bit depressing. i could feeel the paranoia.
You're getting the VIP treatment at these cafes! That looked so good. I wish I had a theater here, I love them. I need to see the new Studio Ghibli movie.
LOVE your podcast - it's been singularly helpful as I plan my trip to Seoul in May. I'll be there for 3 weeks and I am so excited about all the things on my itinerary.
Love your candle warmer. Got on Amazon and have one picked out for me to buy too! My cousin's cat knocked a candle over and it burnt their house down, so I was happy to see you make the suggestion. Now I feel confident about having a candle in my bedroom. Thanks! :)
That’s so great to watch comfortable videos during this lovely month , thank you for showing and creating splendid content 💕🥹now I’m gonna save for later after done with work 💕🤍
every time i watch your videos i just pretend that i am also there and it makes my "i miss seoul"-feelings sooo much more bearable (lol) so thank you for all your beautiful videos they make my week !! xxx
That apple cinnamon tea looked so good. I feel like it would make me feel better...bad cold. Love all the little decorations (I'm a teacher, I wasn't laughing at you until you made that comment, that was funny).
Sending you support and positivity 🫶 please keep going and just stay the way you are, we are happy to see your face and hear your thoughts whether that’s in a a cafe or at home all day. We love and support you no matter. ❤
@@caricakes of course! also, if you would like any books, please reach out! i have so many and would love to hand deliver them to ya in the city! i primarily read literary fiction! 💫
Hi Cari! I've been watching your video lately. I'm so happy and think back to my childhood. The place was born and grew up in .인사동,종로,가회동,사직동, ..Thank you so much❤
Waited for this all day ❤. Happy holidays and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the year. Thank you for all you do to get these wonderful videos to us.
once I saw this tiktok about how think of the people that liked your post as real people in one room, and you'll see how 500 people is a big number of people. Even if your video does poorly, the people who appreciated it are enough. I know you can't help it sometimes but it's a good reminder :") I am one of those people that haven't skipped a single video of yours for the past three years because I genuinely enjoy them. Wishing the best for you, Cari 🤍
Cari, I love your at home vlogs. I mostly watch your vlogs when you are in seoul or travelling within south korea. Occasionally, I watch those that you film while visiting family in the US. All to say that even if you don't appear in my subscription home page, I look up your name in my side bar and look for the most recent cozy-coffeeshop hopping-books-shenanigans-smol-adventure. I love hearing you talk, your choice of music, the editing. Big big hugs xoxo
Im visiting Seoul again in like three weeks as I’m treating myself to a little solo trip, and I’m honestly saving every place you show in your vlogs in Naver maps lol
I always look forward to your videos and they do not disappoint. You videos make me want to visit Seoul like yesterday! I made the mistake of watching the first Hunger Games and I could barely sit through the movie. It was hard to watch. From that point, I had no desire to see the sequels or read the book. Just a FYI, I am now looking at Amazon for a candle warmer lamp. 😂
omg… so I want to go see the songbirds and snakes movie too, so I also started reading the book as well to read it before I go for the movie. But I’m a slow reader, so I’m very impressed by your ability to finish books in a day, idk how you do it 😩
Love how I get to spend Sunday breakfasts with your vlogs for company, Cari. 🥰✨️ (And is that... a plot summary Christmas special aka Court of Frost and Starlight I smell coming in on the bookchannel?? 😱👀)
Your videos just bring me so much joy. I try to find any sadness within me when I watch your videos and I honestly can't. Why bother trying you know? During such a stressful time, I love taking breaks watching your videos. I'm sorry that your videos aren't doing as well as you want. Just know that I and the other people watching your video will support you. Happy winter!
omg spooky! i literally just explored this neighbourhood myself and i had no idea it was trendy! i was literally just visiting jongmyo and walked around this area because i thought it was beautiful haha
My youtube list is a mess too. I usually watch your video on sunday morning while having breakfast. It didn't pop up as first as usually. At first I was thinking there wasn't a video this week or someone messed up my account. I went shopping today and looked everywhere for a candle lamp but couldn't find it and noone even knew what it was!
I thought the algorithm thing was just me. No I don't want to watch a 14 second video of a random person blowing out candles from 7 years ago thank you?!? Lol I've been thinking about how you were feeling in the vid you mentioned a bit lately because I'm having a rough time & I keep reminding myself that you told yourself it will pass & it will all be a memory. It helps to know we're not alone so thank you x Also, love the Christmas content! 🎄
whenever you say you are sad about one of your videos not performing the way you hoped I feel guilty because I want to support you, but at the same I need time to sit down and really watch your videos (whereas other stuff can just run in the background, but yours are too precious for that). so I usually take a slow Sunday and binge everything I've missed up to that point. but I can see how it affects the algorithm. I guess what I'm trying to say is: don't be fooled by the numbers, your content is great and highly appreciated!!!!
Cari, what fun it is watching you go around different neighborhoods, but even better was hearing you use your Korean in a real life setting! The amount of progress you’ve made seems impressive to me. 😊
I definitely have always spoken a lot more korean than this, but i typically dont like recording other people speaking so i never have my camera out! This was just a case of her sneaking up on me while i recorded so i actually had footage to share lol!! But thank you!
@@caricakes I can understand that but it was such a sweet conversation and wonderful chance to hear your advances with the language. Since Kurt won’t do it, we never get to hear you actually speaking in a conversation. Well done!
Thanks for consistently producing 20mins week after week. That is dedication. Will be in seoul for the countdown, cnt wait. Btw where can u buy that fireless candle?
I’ve just discovered you through your book channel and honestly these videos are so cosy and relaxing!! Happy Holidays! Also, did I see ACOTAR going back up on the wall?? 👀
It might sound strange but I love your at home or doing mundane tasks videos more than some big hyped up work video like going to another city.

Thank you so much and hope school is less hectic so you too can be a normal girl doing normal little things 🥹🥹
The feeling of going into a cafe or place to sit having tea & having something to bite & try just enjoying the moment must be the most amazing feeling 🥺🥺
its my favorite thing to do :'''')

Please, how did you submit your complaint? I want to do this, too. Thank you!!!
Instead of the homepage, I always go straight to the “Recently uploaded” tab - this one seems to show me more of the people I actually follow and types of videos I like.
It's so strange watching your videos now that I live in Korea. Keep having to remind myself that I could actually go find the places you visit if I wanted to. This season has been difficult for me too, it's my first full winter here (I came at the end of Feb) and it'll be my first ever christmas away from home and family.

Can we all agree she picks the BEST songs for her vlogs on TH-cam?
Hi just here to say that please keep going doing cafe vlogs and stuff in the Korea 🥹 I’m gonna follow your reviewed places a lot since I just moved from stateside to here. Thank you for the detailed and cute vids!
I look forward to these vlogs every week! They're so comforting especially during finals! :') Thank you Cari!

My Sunday morning: breakfast, cafee and watching the new video from Carie. Plus it is snowing in Budapest. Totally december wibe.
너무 재미있어요!! 이것저것 세심하게 영상에 담으시니 눈이 즐거워요!!

Thanks for all the great links Cari, I just love touring S.K. from my desktop.
thanks always!!!
Just wanted to drop by and say that my husband and I enjoy watching your weekly vlogs during the weekend. Feels like we're hanging out with you and just chilling. Hubby refers to you as "our bestie" LOL. We've gotten so many cafe/sightseeing recommendations from your vlogs and we're super thankful for them! Thank you for always generously sharing your days with us, no matter how mundane you think they may be..sometimes it's the little things that help us connect with you. Have a great week ahead Cari!
I do love your vlogs and watch all of them. I sometimes forget to comment though as I watch them on my TV. I love all the different cafe’s you visit and so wish we had ones like that here in the UK. Thank you for showing such amazing and beautiful places…❤
thank you so much :')
Hi Cari, I just realised that I have been following you for a while. And never commented. But let me say that I like your video's because you transport me back to Seoul everytime. And you do it in such way that I get to enjoy all the feelings or new happenings as if I would be there myself- because we notice the same details. I love reading and cafes and its fun to experience how it is to live in another country. keep doing what you're doing :)
Happy holidays to you and Kurt 😊, may this year end in the best ways for both of you❤❤ your videos are always on point! Keep shining and thriving dear Cari🥰
Thank you always! Happy holidays to you too🤍🤍🤍

Your video’s are my guilty pleasure on early Sunday mornings ☺️ you also triggered me wanting to learn more about Korean life , the café’s all seems so esthetic also the food and beverages. I am even into watching Korean series on Netflix 😊 and the language . And it’s good to show real life as it is 👏🏻, thanks for sharing , have a lovely week 🍀
Thats amazing!! And have a great week too! ✨✨✨
12:48 What is this song over here?????????????????? It's so good!!!

Uploadddddddddd i wassss like she here she here cutie cari with her cute little talks🤗🤗🎄🎄🎄much love & have a warm cozy December 💜

Cariiiiii love seeing you once a week living normal ordinary life excitedly! Love from india 🇮🇳
i love your vlogs; your book tube channel. you have a charming demeanor & though i dream of traveling to South Korea, your vlogs certainly make that journey more appealing.
I agree about youtube. not sure what/why this is happening. i have to actually search for channels
that are my subscriptions. happy holidays! from the States.
I haven’t been updated with your videos for a while because I’ve been so busy. Now that finals is almost over, it’s such a treat to have this video. Thank you Cari 🤍
the new algorithm brought me back to your videos after a long hiatus ~ so i’m happy abt that, but sorry you are struggling 🥺💕
i agree ballads and songbirds and snake was a bit depressing. i could feeel the paranoia.
welcome back ♥🥺💕
You're getting the VIP treatment at these cafes! That looked so good. I wish I had a theater here, I love them. I need to see the new Studio Ghibli movie.
a free chestnut, a free cat cuddle - they really rolled out the red carpet for me hahhaha
LOVE your podcast - it's been singularly helpful as I plan my trip to Seoul in May. I'll be there for 3 weeks and I am so excited about all the things on my itinerary.
Love your candle warmer. Got on Amazon and have one picked out for me to buy too! My cousin's cat knocked a candle over and it burnt their house down, so I was happy to see you make the suggestion. Now I feel confident about having a candle in my bedroom. Thanks! :)
Loved seeing the little interaction between you and the cafe owner, and of course the cats too :) Also that apple-cinnamon tea looked delicious!!
Oh that look of experiencing really good coffee or food. And, my brain just went: hit me with the holiday cheer!
🥰🥰🥰
❤❤4:34. Passing Through Cafe is lovely.
the owner was so nice too :'''')
That’s so great to watch comfortable videos during this lovely month , thank you for showing and creating splendid content 💕🥹now I’m gonna save for later after done with work 💕🤍
have a great rest of your day 💕
my country is still hot in december, but watching cari’s winter vlogs makes me wanna wear a cozy sweater too lol
Loved this vlog and your honesty 💕 getting little glimpses into your thoughts and process is inspiring and relatable.
♥
finally doing a Cari thing, sitting at a Korean cafe having matcha and earl grey croffle! I’m so happy right now
also watching this vlog at the cafe!
okay but an earl grey croffle sounds like a DREAM pls enjoy it hahahha
every time i watch your videos i just pretend that i am also there and it makes my "i miss seoul"-feelings sooo much more bearable (lol) so thank you for all your beautiful videos they make my week !! xxx
♥♥♥
That apple cinnamon tea looked so good. I feel like it would make me feel better...bad cold. Love all the little decorations (I'm a teacher, I wasn't laughing at you until you made that comment, that was funny).
Hahhah thank you!! And hope your cold goes away soon!!
Sending you support and positivity 🫶 please keep going and just stay the way you are, we are happy to see your face and hear your thoughts whether that’s in a a cafe or at home all day. We love and support you no matter. ❤
thank you always ♥♥♥
can always count on cari for a sweet cozy vlog! thank you for this!
thanks for watching :'''')
@@caricakes of course! also, if you would like any books, please reach out! i have so many and would love to hand deliver them to ya in the city! i primarily read literary fiction! 💫
I love a good messy and honest vlog
:''''')
Hi Cari! I've been watching your video lately. I'm so happy and think back to my childhood. The place was
born and grew up in .인사동,종로,가회동,사직동, ..Thank you so much❤
Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍
Your doing great, love the vlogs, just continue and do your thing. You actually remind me me of a girl I like at school ❤
hahah thank you :'')
Waited for this all day ❤. Happy holidays and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the year. Thank you for all you do to get these wonderful videos to us.
Happy holidays ✨🤍🥹
Btw so excited for the next book summary. Gonna rewatch them so I can be ready! So glad the funk has gone.
항상 잘 보고 있어요!
감사합니다 ❤❤❤
once I saw this tiktok about how think of the people that liked your post as real people in one room, and you'll see how 500 people is a big number of people. Even if your video does poorly, the people who appreciated it are enough. I know you can't help it sometimes but it's a good reminder :") I am one of those people that haven't skipped a single video of yours for the past three years because I genuinely enjoy them. Wishing the best for you, Cari 🤍
Cari, I love your at home vlogs. I mostly watch your vlogs when you are in seoul or travelling within south korea. Occasionally, I watch those that you film while visiting family in the US. All to say that even if you don't appear in my subscription home page, I look up your name in my side bar and look for the most recent cozy-coffeeshop hopping-books-shenanigans-smol-adventure. I love hearing you talk, your choice of music, the editing. Big big hugs xoxo
I love watching your vlogs to wind down ❤
I love candle warmers so much!
Life changing!!!
Im visiting Seoul again in like three weeks as I’m treating myself to a little solo trip, and I’m honestly saving every place you show in your vlogs in Naver maps lol
hope you have an amazing time ♥ pack warm clothes hahah
I always look forward to your videos and they do not disappoint. You videos make me want to visit Seoul like yesterday!
I made the mistake of watching the first Hunger Games and I could barely sit through the movie. It was hard to watch. From that point, I had no desire to see the sequels or read the book.
Just a FYI, I am now looking at Amazon for a candle warmer lamp. 😂
Cari your videos have the BEST VIBES. I seriously feel so good after watching. 🥹🫶
Carie, your videos is always a great companion and makes me smile!! I hope you have a great week! :)
same to you ♥♥♥
@4:26 거처 I think it means a place to stay for some time (it can also mean 거처가다 (pass by), but you usually use it as a verb).
yes but the cafe owners call it passing through cafe :)

@@caricakes ah never mind then!
omg… so I want to go see the songbirds and snakes movie too, so I also started reading the book as well to read it before I go for the movie. But I’m a slow reader, so I’m very impressed by your ability to finish books in a day, idk how you do it 😩
I literally read for 5+ hours, its sort of a sickness hahhaha
Thank you for the excellent vlog! Travel guide to emo to talking about candles-videos are exactly my kind of video.😄❤
Love how I get to spend Sunday breakfasts with your vlogs for company, Cari. 🥰✨️
(And is that... a plot summary Christmas special aka Court of Frost and Starlight I smell coming in on the bookchannel?? 😱👀)
🥰 and 👀
Your videos just bring me so much joy. I try to find any sadness within me when I watch your videos and I honestly can't. Why bother trying you know? During such a stressful time, I love taking breaks watching your videos. I'm sorry that your videos aren't doing as well as you want. Just know that I and the other people watching your video will support you. Happy winter!
lately your videos are exactly the content i want to consume
omg spooky! i literally just explored this neighbourhood myself and i had no idea it was trendy! i was literally just visiting jongmyo and walked around this area because i thought it was beautiful haha
fate!!!!
My youtube list is a mess too. I usually watch your video on sunday morning while having breakfast. It didn't pop up as first as usually. At first I was thinking there wasn't a video this week or someone messed up my account.
I went shopping today and looked everywhere for a candle lamp but couldn't find it and noone even knew what it was!
I thought the algorithm thing was just me. No I don't want to watch a 14 second video of a random person blowing out candles from 7 years ago thank you?!? Lol
I've been thinking about how you were feeling in the vid you mentioned a bit lately because I'm having a rough time & I keep reminding myself that you told yourself it will pass & it will all be a memory. It helps to know we're not alone so thank you x Also, love the Christmas content! 🎄
I keep getting 10 year old vids of people doing the randomest things but they have 2 million views???
@@caricakes I guess YT is in its I'll do what I want era 😂
oh my god that peanut latte looks scrumptious!!! i need you to go back and ask for their recipe so i can make it at gome 🤣🤣💗
whenever you say you are sad about one of your videos not performing the way you hoped I feel guilty because I want to support you, but at the same I need time to sit down and really watch your videos (whereas other stuff can just run in the background, but yours are too precious for that). so I usually take a slow Sunday and binge everything I've missed up to that point. but I can see how it affects the algorithm.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: don't be fooled by the numbers, your content is great and highly appreciated!!!!
Looove your videos!!! Please where did you get your coat?? Was funny you mention it, looks nice and cozy 😊
Cari, what fun it is watching you go around different neighborhoods, but even better was hearing you use your Korean in a real life setting! The amount of progress you’ve made seems impressive to me. 😊
I definitely have always spoken a lot more korean than this, but i typically dont like recording other people speaking so i never have my camera out! This was just a case of her sneaking up on me while i recorded so i actually had footage to share lol!! But thank you!
@@caricakes I can understand that but it was such a sweet conversation and wonderful chance to hear your advances with the language. Since Kurt won’t do it, we never get to hear you actually speaking in a conversation. Well done!
Thanks for consistently producing 20mins week after week. That is dedication.
Will be in seoul for the countdown, cnt wait.
Btw where can u buy that fireless candle?
thanks so much :') and i got mine on coupang!!
Love your content SO much, Cari! You're such a refreshing person🎉
♥♥♥
I feel you in regards to the air quality. It can be so bad in winter where I'm living 😵💫
I’ve just discovered you through your book channel and honestly these videos are so cosy and relaxing!! Happy Holidays! Also, did I see ACOTAR going back up on the wall?? 👀
wahhh thank you! happy holidays! and 👀👀👀
Cool lifestyle vlog at its finest ❤
🤍✨
Hello Cari’s coat ! We have been missing you around ❤❤❤
