🇰🇷 how much i spend and eat in a week in seoul, korea 🍜 cooking at home, a newish job, autumn vlog
It poured last night and I havent been outside yet to confirm, but I think the autumn leaves are all gone already :''''') how's autumn/spring going where you are?
We've gone from fairly warm days (high 20's to low 30's) to miserable rainy cold days in Sydney. Glad for the rain but it's meant to be spring 🙃 Also this vlog made me super hungry lol
Between London and Turin (Northern Italy), safe to say we have reached a stable 10 (celsius) degrees or less in both locations 😂✌🏻 good thing I was missing my winter hats lol
Just moved to Las Vegas and am missing fall. Your videos are giving me life while everything is still warm. I love this cozy corner of the internet. ❤
Fall has taken over all the way, there was no ice cream to be had anywhere ...the other day on our walk my son really wanted chocolate ice cream!!! But all the ice-cream stations in the cafés were closed for the winter😅. We live south west end of Berlin Germany, but we were walking in a park in Potsdam. That's just a stone's throw away/ hardly apart from Berlin at all, yet immediately a lot more rural and provincial.
In Arizona it's still getting into the 90's F semi regularly, though a little cooler at night (like 60°). I'm so jealous of all you folks out there with a little chill in the air!
I don’t know why exactly but your hair looks extra beautiful in this vlog✨✨ you look like a princess Cari
Thanks!
life has been super weird and i feel like i haven’t had the chance to sit down and actually enjoy one of your videos in such a long time. it always feels like sitting on facetime with a friend and catching up
i hope you’ve been doing well, Cari! as always, thank you for sharing yourself and Korea with us 💜
hope youre doing well too! and hope there was some 'good weird' sprinkled in your life lately.
"I have crazy movie scenes that play out in the my head as I walk." Awww, you too? I thought I was the only one! Great video, Cari, hope your Halloween was great and you're off to a great start in November! 🙂
its the only way to listen to music hahah and happy nov!!
Fun things happen when you don’t wear headphones. Its like the universe knows you’re receptive. I had a cute conversation in French this morning because I heard a parent switch to French while next to me at an outdoor vegetable stand I paused at on my walk (I’m not in France but it’s my target language)
omg thats so sweet :'') and yes i agree! being more present is always a good idea!
About the no headphone talk - I couldn’t agree more!! Sometimes I feel like instead of letting my thoughts run wild, I overstimulate myself by listening to music. because at the end of the day, that is what music does to us, and if there is already a lot going on your mind - it can be a bit too much without us even realising. just hearing the sounds of nature, calms you more than any music could.
yes!!!
Hi Cari, I hope you're doing great! I lost a friend recently and I've been binge watching your videos to feel better, your vibes and little trips have been helping a lot. As always, sending you beautiful energy and lots of love from Argentina ♥
Hi, Cari, I'm one of your Korean subscribers. I've always wanted to tell you that your videos bring joy to my week. I love your videos so much, and I appreciate you for that. I wish you a wonderful November♥
Thank you so much! Hope you have a happy november too!
Lovely coincidence. Exactly one year ago, I was on that same bridge in Seoul Forest, starting off my 2-week holiday in Korea 🥲🥲🥲 Missing those days more than ever!
i’m usually a silent watcher but i love your videos they became a part of my weekly sunday routine :) thank you for the wonderful content!
hi Cari, just wanted to say how much i appreciate you and what you do spreading awareness on IG. & ofc thank you so much for this new vlog 🥹🤍
i’m missing Seoul so much since my summer exchange (when i was hoping to magically bump into you 😆), and pray that i’ll be able to visit again soon :”
have a great Sunday! 🧡
going back home after an exchange trip is SO hard so just know that every feelnig you have is valid and more importantly you're not alone :''') hope next time youre in seoul our paths cross!!!
Such a lovely vlog, Cari. Thank you again for sharing this beautiful season in Seoul with us. Some of the scenes had the most gorgeous light and your hair looked especially beautiful against the blue sky. I laughed out loud when you were watching the line dancers.
Thanks so much for watching!!
Thanks for this chilling vlog. Your videos are definitely a highlight of my Sunday mornings! I'm an expat living in Switzerland and here the autumn is gorgeous -- unfortunately, work's been too busy for me to enjoy it. I hope I can still enjoy some autumn scenery before the leavers are completely gone!
I hope you're feeling better and please take care and stay healthy!
Hope you get to see it too 🥹🙏🥹🙏
I think it's super cool to have those communal dance classes, I live in Mexico, and here in some cities, you will also see that in some parks or plazas, I find it cute.
I agree! I had just never seen one so big and the gangnam style threw me for a loooooop hahha
Watching your vlog on sunday afternoon while enjoying a cup of coffee, is one of my favourite parts of the week. It has become kind of a tradition now haha 💜 Also, I'm going to seoul in march so this was really helpfull! Hope u are doing great, Cari! Thank u as always for sharing with us
I’ve been feeling extra anxious and stressed recently and this vlog took me out of my brain for a bit and actually calmed me down. Genuinely thank you🥹
🤍🤍🤍🤍
This vlog was so light-hearted and fun and lovely, it made me so so happy
I always watched your seoul vlogs before coming to Korea and imagined myself going to the places you showed us... now I'm here and it feels so aaaaaa can't even explain it. it would be so lovely if there was a meet up while I'm here 🥺
🥹🙏🥹🙏🥹🙏
Same here!! And I will be in Korea in two weeks!!!
I'm on a 2 months trip in Korea (currently in Busan) and I'm so happy to now recognize some places you go to in your vlogs 😊
I was at the drone show too the night it got canceled because of the wind... so disapointed...
Anyway, I've been watching your vlogs for 2 years now I think and it always sends me good and cosy vibes. Thank you! 🍁🍂🌻
Hope you have a lovely time here!!!
I love this type of vlog! I wish it was Autumn for me, but its spring here, but its very cold and rainy so feels a bit like Autumn!
its so strange to see my friends in the southern hemisphere posting pictures of cherry blossoms this time of year hahahha
Autumn in Los Angeles really begins in November so trees are just starting to turn and I’m excited!🥹
It looks so lovely. I love the Fall season because of the color makes me feel more alive
agreed :')
It is actually so good to walk around without having constant magnetic waves coming inside your brain from headphones 😄 definitely makes walks a lot healthier
Cari, I live in the states and I watch your vlogs whenever I miss Seoul or Korea. Thanks always for great videos🥰
I miss Seoul 🥲 Cari, thanks for your vlogs❤ your vids will be my comfort space for a long time
Thank you 🥹
I needed this one! thank you for speaking up on IG and also still sharing your vlogs. they help with my anxiety SPECIALLY right now. 💕
sending love!!
I live in central Florida, so Autumn is kind of an illusion here haha But the high temperature has dipped significantly since this time a month ago! And I LOVE that!
I just wanted to say thank you for all the videos you make and share. I feel inspired and motivated to read and practice my guitar and I know that when you share sincerely your struggles and even exciting walks in SK it inspires others. Blessings!!
Hi Cari! I just found your channel a few weeks ago and I am so glad I did. I’ve been having such a difficult time in my program in university and your videos are just so calming to me and bring some joy to my weeks. Thank you 🩷
A beverage girly after my own heart. Super lovely vlog :) I really enjoy how relaxed this was, and your editing is beautiful. I now need to make an iced lemon chamomile, that sounds magical
20:08 i'm so sorry for sounding superficial, but gosh, i loooooove your hair. i've been a follower from way back and i really love that i got to watch your contents (especially your book recos). kudos to you Cari! you're such a beautiful person. 🧡
Thank you so much 🥹
Given the timing now, this video pierced my heart unexpectedly 😭
Cari ending this video in a Power from CSM shirt makes me incredibly happy 😍
Thank kurt hahha i stole it from him!
@caricakes BIG THANKS Kurt 😂 Also Cari is What the River Knows on your tbr? Cause HOLY HECK. I just finished it last week and I can't stop thinking about it. It's gonna be a series but the ending had my jaw on the floor 😫
The leaves are still falling here, and it feels great outside. I'm trying to enjoy it before the seasonal depression sets in 😅
ugh the double edged sword of autumn
Mangwon shijanggggg. How I missed the vibrant energy during the day and the quiet calm nights 💗💗💗
Mangwon misses you too!!
Really love how this channel feels so small and intimate, even though you have many subscribers
The shot of the pond at 3:15, for a second I thought it was Central Park.
Seoul Forest is like a mini mini central park 😂
Thank you Cari, for a great vlog. I was thinking it would be fun to see what physical books you have in your apartment. Some people would say that's being nosy, others would say (me) it would be interesting. Anyways, enjoyed. 🤗💕💕
thank you so so much!!
@@caricakes 😘
Always enjoy a Cari Cakes video ❤
Also: nice shirt in the end. Yay Power! She is best girl.
Thank you! And its actually kurts shirt hahhaa
Yessss! When I studied abroad we saw the line dancing class it was like a fever dream!!!
omg the dog having the photoshoot. 😍🤣
i couldnt believe my eyes ahhah
Great vlog as always... I'd be interested in what you can thrift for winter clothes in Seoul... Even if you don't buy anything, would be great to see some locations and if they are organised or chaotic
ooh you definitely can!! i actually have some thrifting videos (i think i have a playlist!!)
I’m too scared to walk with headphones because I’ve watched too many true crime docs and think I’m gonna get unalived by a serial killer from behind or something 😂😂
the “no… it’s gangnam style” is killing meeee 😂
quickly turned into a nightmare hahahha
09:12 What a beautiful View, of the Moon and the City. Thx for that 🥰
This is the season I am most excited to watch in your channel (but all of your vids are soooo good) I've found a virtual friend in you, taking me to great places in Seoul or any part of South Korea. Hoping that I can finally go there and see it with my own eyes too. Haha. My "pahuway" in this chaotic world. Love this vid anyway! Stay healthy & happy, Cari!
That makes me so happy thank you!!
@@caricakes nooo, I am more thankful for your existence and doing that tough job a.k.a youtuber/vlogger. Rooting for your vlogs, especially the transition period from autumn to winter hehe more cafe hopping, finding the best hot chocolate!
really sweet vlog, as always! Stay healthy! 🥰
thank you, you too!!
Since you live in Korea have you ever thought about trying taekwondo? I've done it for years in the states and, especially as a woman, it changed my life. I just thought of it since you mentioned kick boxing. Thanks for the great video as always!
Such a random and fun moment but when I saw you film those leaves blowing in the wind on the ground, it reminded me of my 6 month old puppy chasing all the leaves this season as she thinks they're running away from her 😂
🥹🥹🥹
Loved your vlog as always! Have always loved your vlogs because of the random details you pay attention to and that makes life seem so beautiful. Loved the little clips at 9:05 and 10:15 - Seoul looks so safe at night time! 9:05 also sort of reminded me of Pondicherry, India which I visited very recently. Ugh, staring into the sea by the beach at night time is glorious! (Coming from a person like me who lives in the hills).
Thank you again so much, Cari!
Thank YOU so much!!
I am just seeing your blog just for your smile and mesmerised voice and manner also ❤

👋🏻❤🇫🇮❄. Beautiful last leafs on autumn there🍂.
Here this weekend is only 0/-5°c, any other day & week it's been -10/-15°c (around 10-20cm snow). A couple of months and winter is well and truly here and the freezing cold too.❄
omg noooo already in the negatives :'''')
@@caricakesyes negatives (ands snow) started begin on october, will last all way to march/april ❄🙈
It's so interesting to learn about prices for every day things like food and transport around the world. I was shocked when I did a full weeks shop for my husband and I and it cost over AUD$300! I eat 99% of my meals at home including coffee which I make using a Bialetti coffee pot and Bialetti manual milk frother. My husband buys two coffees a day at work which is around AUD$50 a week. We have very little public transport here so it's all driving for us. Petrol here is AUD$1.80-$2 a litre. Our cars cost around AUD$500 a year each to service. I'm trying to make more things from scratch at home so bread which is AUD$5-$7 a loaf is $2.50 a loaf made from a quality bread mix at home. I made shortbread for AUD$0.67 per 100g. I find it very interesting to learn how much it costs others to live. We are in a semi-rural 'city' of around 20k people. We are fairly remote.
Wow that is 33$ USD for your husband's two coffees? That's too much 😮 aren't even large Starbucks orders like 6$ a piece? I haven't been out in a while... First pandemic then inflation - so I genuinely don't remember 😅
Oh no! That’s 10 coffees a week at work. 2 coffees each day at work.
@@georgianasstudio ohhh I see ^^ that makes more sense and is very reasonable then
AHHH THE INTRO IS SO PERFECT ♥️♥️♥️♥️ great video already, and only 15 seconds in!!!!!
thank you so much!!
Cari! Can you do a what i get at korea convenience store Veggie/ Vegan edition pls! ily
If you haven't check out a book called The Creative Act: A Way Of Being by Rick Rubin, I've found his views on simple stuff like going for walks in silence and being present/observing/listening for ideas as they come and go to be very useful. Didn't realize how much content/apps were sucking away my ability to just be bored and let stuff come to me naturally again.
Ugh yes! Some of my best ideas came from being bored and staring into space and i feel like i dont do that anymore hahaha
Beatiful seoul 좋은영상 항상 감사합니당
Btw you look gorgeous. Idk what’s different, maybe the hair, but wow
Totally agree with "no headphone walking" When we ride our trainingsrounds alone, we mostly don't listen to anything anymore. There was a time, I listened to Podcasts, Audiobooks and so on while working, training and my head was always blasted with informations, I couldn't follow the Storys of the books anymore. And specially when it's nice outside, we rather be in the moment. That's why we suck at filming as well 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
When it comes to the exchange rate, I do the same thing. I just move the comas and make them decimals points. I do the same for the Japanese Yen. I do have an app on my phone that can help me with the real rate, but it's just easier to just move the coma 2-3 places (depending on if Japan or Korea).
Did you say you're going outside of Seoul next week? Yay road trip!!😁🚆🚌
Yes 100yen will always be a dollar in my mind and i end up coming home with more money than i thought 😂
I cannot walk alone in the street without music or listening to something haha or else I get in my head start stressing and thinking of everything I need to do or haven’t done haha it’s not a relaxing walk 😂
😂😂
Your hair looks so pretty and healthy!!!
thanks so much!
Oh, Power from Chainsaw man T-shirt at the end! /love!
😂 i stole it from kurt
Everything looks so yummy!
it was a successful food week hahahaha
Yes, that bench was calling you. As you've been improving your Korean listening comprehension via streaming content and listening to conversations around you, have you ever realized, "wait, do people only talk like that in dramas?"
Cari, your hair looks so great! It's like somehow different in this video
people dacing to gangnam style in seoul is iconic and ironic at the same time
your weekly vlogs are such therapy dupes for me 🫶🏻 also, random thought but how about making air fryer bagels??
Thank you! And omg maybe that will be my winter project hahaha
Long time no see. I miss you 😅
❤❤❤
Nice autumn vlog.
I have an genuine question, absolutely no hate or shade or anything of the sort. Do people in Korea do big grocery shops? I know that sounds silly but in Florida, you go to Publix and get a weeks worth of groceries. I noticed in these videos that going to the market and getting one or two things a day is normal, same thing with frequency a cafés.
My step mom is from a small village in Thailand and she does the same thing. I didn’t know if it was just a culture thing. Hopefully that’s not a stupid question!
Yes you totally can but within the city there arent that many so its hard to do. My local grocery store is more like a half grocery store. If you want to do the big shop you need an emart or something and the closest one to me is a 20 minute bus so imagine bringing all those groceries home hahha thats why i just do a lot of little grocery trips!
FYI a tuna gimbap in Milano (Italy) is 13€ RN.
26:33 My guess is something to do with pumpkin!
omg it's so chilly now in Korea. It's still warm in Hong Kong.
Even in january i felt like hong kong was warm 😂😂
It's a lot warmer now. haha. @@caricakes
your fit in the last video clip is so my aesthetic… I literally did a double take because I have the same glasses and I love my anime shirts (and power is one of my fave chainsaw man characters LOL)
😂😂😂
This was such a wonderful vlog! I love how you seek out the nice things in the city you live in - you always inspire me to explore my surroundings better!
Q: where is that shoulder bag from we see in the mirror at 14:25? 😍
Completely unrelated to your spending in a week but I just want to say your skin and hair looking radiant in this vlog!
Thanks so much!!!
Ah, I was waiting for this vlog because I was in Seoul during that time. It's so funny to watch you experiencing the same things for once.
Cari: I'm going to see a drone show.
Me: No, I don't think so. 😆
Also, you were in Haneul park literally the day before I went. And when I saw your Instagram stories that day I was so sad to be missing you by one day basically. I took the stair, though. That was so exhausting. 😅
Omg yeah i used to take the stairs and then i tried the shuttle bus and there is no going back 😂😂😂
한국인입니다! 영어 브이로그를 찾아보다가 발견하게 되었습니다 반갑습니다
Hello I'm korean! I found your channel when looking around English V-log Nice to meet you and I subscribed your channel :)
Buying meals here is very expensive. I think the cheapest meal for one is around AUD$20 but more like $30 for quality food. It's cheaper on the mainland, we are in Tasmania.
😱
Great video as usual Cari! I'm heading to Seoul in five days, and I've been thinking about what to wear. I'm from a place where summer temperatures can reach as high as 42°C, so I'm not sure if I'll cope with the weather there. However, most sources say that the locals still dress lightly? I'd really appreciate some advice on what to wear! :)
Definitely bring sweaters and a jacket - the temperature will drop this weekend. Closer to 12 degrees 🥶
이제.한국여자 해도 되겠는데요.!ㅋ
항상.영상 잘보고있습니다.
몸건강하시고. 한국을 사랑해주고 한국에 살아죠서.너무 고맙습니다. 감사합니다👍👍👍
Love your videos would love to visit Korea one day. What is the conversion from won to dollars?
it changes every day so just google usd to krw :)
Hi, Cari,
This is my first comment :)
Your videos make me realize how beautiful this city is. Thank you always 😊
Hi, I am vegetarian and recently came here on a biz trip. Can i know how to get those vegan dumplings? Anything else you can suggest for easy to get vegetarian food?
Thank you for sharing all this information, a great vlog.
Also, glad to know you like Indian food - my home country.
Hey Cari!! Getting nervous about flying to London and was wondering if you have any tips or can let me know how your experiences flying on long flights has been!! Never flown over seas so I'm like overpreparing and constantly overthinking at night lmao. Thank you for all your awesome videos!!
my main issue is just flight anxiety so here's my video on that - th-cam.com/video/hUeA_v1GLvs/w-d-xo.html
but also just make sure you have your passport, any visa stuff, and then an idea of how you're getting from the airport to your next deatination (hotel, etc). London is a huge international airport so you can always find help if you need it. If you're taking the tube into london it got confusing because of the elizabeth line so make sure you're following signs to the Underground not ALL TRAINS. hahah have a wonderful trip!!!
and as for the long flights, i find that my nerves go away after the first few hours and you get meals so you'll be distracted hahah try to sleep a little!!
@@caricakes Thank you so much, love!! Gonna double and triple check I have everything and then just muscle through it lol. So excited though!! Have a wonderful week!!
I’ve always wondered how the heck you’re able to read in cafes😮I know you sometimes try to go to one’s that aren’t crowded but still with the music they play and just noise the workers make cleaning etc
I try to find cafes that have calming music (anything without lyrics haha)
Hi! I haven't watched all your videos yet so I'm not sure if you've already mentioned this but do you know any cheap bookstore in South Korea, in Seoul or Busan or wherever? Like secondhand bookstores that also have recent books. I appreciate your vlogs so much! I'll be traveling there solo this January and I've been watching a lot of your vlogs and tiktoks a lot!
Cariiii
I didn’t know you liked Chainsawman!
The park you went to looks really pretty!
I hopped on youtube hoping for a new Cari vlog and here it is!
yesss im back! thank you!
I did not just check out the entire series you just said you loved at my local library. Nope, not at all. Hopefully this gets me out of my reading slump :)
🍒 be stay healthy. ❤
you too!
Oh my gosh! Are you reading the Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante?! I finished the series very recently. Enjoy!
omg, did you change smth? you look extra pretty in this vid 😍😍
It has been in the 40's in the day and in the teens for two wks and many deer every morning.
🥶🥶🥶
@@caricakes LOL!
No fall where I'm from...bull I'll be in Seoul in a couple of weeks and was hoping to see some remnants of autumn! 😭
Hope you get some too but you also might get snow 👀
I guess we need to rethink our wardrobe!🥶@@caricakes
Love your hair at min 2.50!
WoW,좋은 영상.보면서 힐링되네요😊
Do all or most cafes in Korea give discount when you bring your own reusable cup?? I never experienced cafes in the States doing that for me omg that would be so nice
Most do! The only trouble I find is now a lot of cafes make you order on kiosks and they dont have an option to say that you brought a cup to get that discount!
@@caricakes oh right a lot of Korean cafes installed kiosks :(( But it's still nice that some offer to give you discount! I'll keep this in mind when I visit later this yr :)
