seoul vlog 📹 lunar new year, freezing weather, cooking in my apartment, life updates, cute cafes
Hey Cari! I will watch this video later, but I just wanted to let you know how much your videos help me to relax when it's bedtime. It's weird, but everytime you upload a video I know that it has that cozy feeling that is so hard to find now in youtube and mass media in general. Thank you for the dedication you put in every single vlog and I hope you have a nice trip! 💕
thank YOU so much :') hope you have a lovely day/night!!
Hi Cari, I haven't commented in a long time but I wanted to say that I've been reading and writing out of my house a lot. You've inspired me to go out and find new places. Thank you for taking us to another adventure ⭐ love from Argentina! 💙
my favorite thing :'') thank you so much!
As a Canadian we like to think we are winter weather pros but we still struggle every year. My workplace literally sends out emails a few times a year about how to avoid slips and falls during the winter lol. Getting out and doing activities really helps to make those winter months more enjoyable.
I always get so happy whenever you mention Hungary, and I'm even happier now that I know you have Hunagrian heritage. I'm also Hungarian, and I love your videos.
yay!!! thank you!
Hello, Nice to meet you. I'm Korean. Koreans have an affinity for Hungary.
These are the words of Eom Seok-jeong, former ambassador to the Hungarian Embassy.
"Korea and Hungary are similar in many ways. Hungarians are the Mazal people, an Asian ethnic group living in Europe. Their ethnic origin lies in the southeastern part of the Ural Mountains, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Altai region near Lake Baikal, the origin of the Korean people. ....Unlike other countries in Europe, the Hungarian word order is the same as our Korean language..."
Have a good day.
Boy is Budapest beautiful! I remember when I've been there one summer I was sitting near the house of Parliament looking at Danube river at the sunset and I was literally crying because it was so stunningly gorgeous...
@@user-ir7tn6df7c as a Hungarian, I did not know this! Thank you for sharing! :)
Peaceful and rejuvenating watch, as always 🙏 And that photo exhibit looked awesome - I love seeing older images of Seoul/Korea!
thank youuu!
As a Hungarian, I always love to see when you make a Hungarian dish, also talking about this Middle-European area, which I think it's quite underrated. Hope you will have a lovely time in Vienna and Prague! 😊❤
You guys have amazing cuisine! I am always amazed how it not more wellknown, considering how Budapest is a hot touristic destination. The days I spend there were some of the best eating days I had outside of my country.
I got engaged in Vienna in 2022 and it was the most amazing place - such an easy place to wander and fall in love with. So excited to see the Vienna vlog.
omg hope i can bring back some memories for you!!! congratulations :')
Your videos make me wish every second building was a cafe 😊
hahhah there are never enough!
Ohhhhh my goodness those two ladies sweeping up snow into a pile was so so cute ❤❤ you really know how to make people feel nice and calm between your voice, the music you use, and of course the surroundings in Korea are drop dead gorgeous everythinf needed for perfect relaxing visuals ❤❤
right?! haha i think they were on a smoke break and decided to make it a snow break hehe
Thank you for taking us 'namjooning' with you :) I hope he really did message you....would be very cool :) I loved seeing the old photographs and the cafes. I don't know how you can stand the bitter cold, but I'd much rather have the bright white snow on the ground than the dark, dreary days. Stay healthy so you can enjoy your trip(s). ARMY grandma
I also wasn't quite sure if it was a joke or for real. I also think it would be cool if it d been real!!! I am no army, but I am aware what a big deal BTS are and would love to think that some of them watch Cari's videos 😄 ❤️
Watching your videos always bring me so much comfort especially during rough patches. I hope you know how much joy you bring to the people who watch you Cari
I love your videos, they are so relaxing. What a beautiful start to the new year. Corgi, namjoon, bakery, and art...can't get any better than that! 💜 It's gonna be a great year! :)
Thank you for this little escape. Life is hectic and emotionally rocky so your vlogs really give me relief.
Happy Lunar New Year! I've been watching your videos for the last year or so and every single time, you make me so happy and satisfied. Your choice of cafes and bakeries and other eateries and places to visit (cities, streets, exhibitions, parks, shops) and music, and truly everything, everything about your videos, I absolutely love and enjoy. Thanks for sharing them all. Hope you enjoy all your upcoming trips!
love all the cafes that you've brought us to! your videos always make me feel so relaxed and cosy. have a great weekend!
새해 복 많이 받으세요! ~
i hope you and kurt enjoy your upcoming trip to Hokkaido! i’m looking forward to seeing your little group trip to Japan (i’m always looking to your videos for new places to add to “must visit” lists) ☺️
looking forward to another year watching the world through your eyes!
thank you always!!! happy new year to youuu!
the vibes always ✨☕️
:'''''')
My university was in a place that got really cold (like 10°C is freezing for me). And I really didn't like it and it kinda depressed me. So as soon as the temperatures started going up for spring, my mood and energy levels blossomed.
Hope you can wait it out the winter peacefully and enjoy your upcoming trips ❤️
Thank you as always for sharing your adventures with us so we can experience all the cool art exhibitions and beautiful sights vicariously through you. Stay warm, Cari!
Oh gods, Prague is sooooo beautiful, one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. So I can't really recommend one place, but what I can recommend is an early morning walk through the city! Did it when I was there in April several years ago, and it was magnificent. You'll love it, I'm sure!
You should do a day trip to Bratislava when you are in that part of Europe - Vienna and Bratislava are the 2 closest capitals in Europe, and it's such a cute and cosy city, ideal for a solo day trip! :)
Prague and Vienna are two of my absolute favorite cities in the world! I hope you have a wonderful trip :)
I was just cleaning my room wishing I had something good to watch and here you come ❤ ❤
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I love your videos about everyday life. It's so peaceful. You make me want to go out and explore more in my own town!
Thank you for taking us along for your week! The photography exhibits look really interesting and I'm glad that you shared bits and pieces.
I love being able to see the world through your eyes
thank you for making comforting cozy videos sometimes life gets to us and we feel a little stressful and anxious even though we know we shouldn't. your videos help comfort and make us feel more relaxed to ease back into our lives with a more rested soul body and mind
forever adore your videos, they’re so warm and help me cope with the cold
thank you so much :')
Loved Prague! I think my favourite was the John Lennon Wall, maybe because it was such an unexpected find in the ancient city. Can’t wait to see your travels 💖💖💖
Great vlog. When its cold nothing better than soup your soup looked amazing. thanks again.
I’ve been missing Seoul a lot lately, I’m always so happy to see it through your exploration. Maybe I’ll just have to take that teaching job and make my way back over there
Viennese Person here! There is this place that fills a very special spot in my heart. I'ts called the "Strudelhofstiege". Its basically just a staircase, but somehow its really pretty and whimsical. There are some benches and its lit up at night and you can totally just sit there and let time pass. Right next to it is the "Liechteinstein Palais" and the "Liechtenstein Park" which are both gems in my eyes. It's kind of off the touristy route and therefore a lot less crouded. The park itself ist BEHIND the Palais and you actually have to know that and go around the building to find it. But its really peacefull and pretty there! There is a caffe as well! And HBO is currently filming IN this exact cafe for the series "The Palace". But only up until the 4th of February. So if you go there in March you could be there before it airs! I wish you a pleasant stay
Just discovered your channel in the middle of exam season and it's just the best to sit down and relax while watching your videos ! You're doing well with what you're creating !
Happy new year, Cari! Wishing you great year ahead! ✨❤
I really love your videos so I can't wait to see Prague, my hometown through your eyes ☺ all the historical places are definitely worth it but they will probably be really packed with tourist, so just be ready 😄 I always recommend any walk that brings you either near the river or with a view of it - so places like Kampa, Vysehrad or Letna, they're all really lovely.
Our coffee scene is pretty cool as well.
Hope you have a great time here and in Vienna too! 💜
Those photography galleries are the coolest 🥹 대박
Always love your food content and your book channel!
I love that i remember the noisy neighbour story like it was yesterday when it was almost a year ago?!?
Just back from Seoul and missing it, so your video was a wonderful walk down memory lane, thank you 💚
Hope you can come back soon 🤍 thank you so much!
Sending love, hope you have a wonderful lunar new year ❤
So excited for your trip! Love watching your videos 😌
Sapporo in the winter is going to be insanely gorgeous. I’m so excited for that vlog when it comes ☃️❄️
“I’m going to Prague…”, u said that and my heart dropped 😂 I was like “it would be so cool to meet you!! I’m gonna stay the whole month at my sister’s, just to accidentally meet you on the street. Like screw school, Cari is more important!”❤❤❤
you’re actually the number one person on youtube for me, it always makes me so happy, when I watch your channel, it’s so relaxing (it has almost the same effects on me as zen meditational music has😂😂)
Ps: 🤚🏼If you need to help learn Czech, at least a little bit, I’m here to help you 👍🏼🤟🏼
Your sweater you're wearing while making the soup is so darling
Hi Cari~ love your energy and your vlogs 💕 I love Cafe Onion! Missing Seoul so much and living vicariously thru you!
i loved this vlog!! the second photo exhibit you want to was stunning! and the soup looked delicious. last week, i made potato and leek soup for the first time and it was actually really good!!
Can't wait to see your Europe and Japan adventures! Love your vlogs :)
ohh this vlog just appeared in my feed and can't say HOW I LOVE IT !!💕 reminded me about my semester abroad in Seoul and please I want come back rn
Everytime you make videos like this I get so jealous of everything you eat. It all looks soooo good!!
Hey Cari! I had to stop the video and come here. I love your videos! It makes me feel normal. Helps in appreciating my normal days. In the era of reels and tick tock everything has become so chaotic but your video brings that calm normal feeling gives reassurance. Thank you for making them. I know you always say that you are not sure what value your "normal day in your life" videos brings to audience so here's your ans it's relatable and makes you feel calm. Hope you are having good calm days! Love from India🇮🇳
I admire your energy, you try to get out to put some new pictures & experience...
And also showing us regular mundane life honestly which I can related & uplifting my moods. Thank you Cari
Hey Cari! Cannot wait for the Prague vlog! i went there myself for the first time last year during Summer and fell in love. Cannot wait to revisit it during other seasons as well. So beautiful city and so good food! Our favourites were Restaurace U Mlynáře and Vegan's Prague.
Love all the photo exhibitions you took us to this video.
Also super happy about the alternative milk options at Onion 🙈 hope to see it in more places!
Sad you won’t be stopping by Budapest in March, but Prague and Vienna are beautiful!
That bowl of mushrooms looked so aesthetically pleasing.
These vlogs are my fave Sunday evening activity….thank you for making them!
thanks for being here :')
You chose the PERFECT month to visit Prague!! You will love it (I really encourage you to visit all the castles you can, they are amazing, also go to the Saturday market, next to the river, if you want to try czech food...), can't wait to see your videos! 🌷
You have a good taste in travel destinations - I also happen to have a first time trip planned in later March to Vienna and Prague - very excited!
Ahoj Cari! Here is my recommendation as a Slovak living in Prague for years! :) Definitely spend some time in the streets of Old Town. Typical tourist places are usually packed, but worth visiting, if it´s your first time. "Václavské" and "Staroměstské" náměstí, Charles bridge etc. Also don´t forget to check the National library! There is a fun "infinite book tunel" at the entrance. :) If you are close to the Prague castle on Malá strana- there is this secret garden - Valdštejnská zahrada, I used to work there and I love it. Really close is also Lennon´s wall, Museum Kampa, little English bookstore "Shakespeare a synové". If you would like to see some nice views, try the Metronome view in Letná (part of Prague) or Petřín. For coffee: I would recommend something outside of old town - Acid coffee, Coffe cube, Mama coffee, Cafe Letka, or something more special like momoichi cafe or funwari pancakes. But I bet you can find some nice coffee places anywhere you go. Enjoy your trip!
Also, I grew up really close to Vienna - it´s beautiful and there are nice galleries and museums- way better then in Prague, worth visiting. + schonbrun palace with zoo and maze
That soup looks amazing and so comforting on cold days. Can't wait to see your adventures in Japan, Vienna and Prague. ❤️❤️
thank you!!
prague is sooo beautiful, it's one of my favourite cities, after krakow in poland! in general visiting eastern european countries or cities is so underrated, even in western europe (i'm from germany but have a polish family, so i've been in poland quite a few times). i bet you'll love it there! i'm gonna be in prague in march too and i'm very looking forward to it!
also it's so cool you're going to sapporo!!! looking forward to your vlogs
💖
I am looking forward to your Europe trip in March. I have been to both cities. the rich history they have is spectacular
Saved this video for today since it's my 31st birthday and your videos are my favourite! Love from Spain! ❤
Your soup looked tasty. I’m looking forward to trying the recipe. The green tea tiramisu looked good too. I’ll have to try to find a recipe for it online. Enjoy preparing for your future travels.
Thank you for talking us along in your days in Seoul! For Vienna I highly recommend the opera house. And in Prague check out the library/astrological tower Klementinum.
I cant believe you are coming to Prague. I hope you will do a meet up here. Prague is super beautiful and there are so so so many great coffee shops. And the architecture is just amazing and there are also so many beautiful parks. I have been here for 8 years and Im still so amazed by how beautiful it is here.
The umbrellas in the snow fascinates me. We just deal. You never get that wet from snow.
so excited that you're going to Prague and Vienna in march cause I'll go there in May and definitely need recommendations ☺
I don’t get to travel very much, so I love seeing your travel vlogs. 🎉
thanks for coming along^^
Hey Cari!
I wanted to let you know how much my husband and I love watching your videos. It's truly a highlight of our day.
We are planning to visit Seoul and Jeju in May to see family and celebrate our honeymoon and I was wondering if you have any recommendations for coffee shops or galleries/ shops that we MUST hit while we are there.
Again, thank you for being...well.. you!
the best start to my birthday tbh (it's midnight rn) - I really really enjoy all of your videos so this is genuinely a nice way to start the day for me
happy birthday ahhhh!!! hope you have a wonderful day and an even better year!
@@caricakes aaaahhhhhh thank you so much!!!
Hello Cari! 😊
I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy watching your videos, almost went threw all of it, gives such a great vibe, always boost my mood, and makes me want to go to Korea so much! 🥲 Those cafes, food and the nature wow so pretty...
Always amazed by your music choices, love them so much!
I have two boys, so I have to choose wisely what to do with my "free time" (aka doing the dishes and other house stuff😅) but I always ended up at your channel, so thank you!!!!
Julia from Hungary 😊
There are these Ice/Snow Grips you place on the bottom of your boots and it does help you from slipping on snow/ice. I wear mine during Winter here in Canada.
Winter is a great time for Soup. There are so many kinds you can make. Stews are very good in Winter.
Try making Biscuits to go with your Soups/Stews.
I really want to go to Sapporo for the snow festival but I can’t even handle the little bit of cold and snow we’re currently experiencing in Osaka so I don’t think I’d survive 😆 So excited to have you come to Japan!
luckily it looks like its going to warm up on the weekend we're there thank goodness hahaha
Yes winter just feel like watching netfilx with a sip of coffee at hotel. Outdoors are just too cold and windy.
Worst of all luggage becomes heavier due to winter clothing.
새해 건강하시고 하시는 일 대박나세요
Thank you cari for this great video, hope I would have time to visit Korea one day!
Hi Cari! Thank you for another comfy and happy-making video 🥰 I spontaneously tried your mushroom soup this evening and it was very delicious! Perfect food for cold days 😊 My boyfriend added some chili and other spices because he prefers it more spicy. This suited the taste very well, too.
Omg go to Otaru! Such a cute little seaside town and visit the aquarium as well ❤ also, Nijo market in Sapporo to eat all the seafood 😍
As an American ex-pat living in Prague, I would also recommend venturing out of the city center. Žižkov is a great place with unique art and great independent coffee places and is about a 15 minute tram ride from Masarykovo nádraží (trams 5, 9, 15 and 26). If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Cari, I absolutely LOVE your jumper you are wearing while cutting up your mushrooms😍😍. It’s absolutely beautiful. Me and my fiancé watch your vlogs together every week, and we love them!🥰. He even asks “do we have a Cari vlog to watch” haha, bless him! Hope you’re doing well beautiful! Lots of love from us both, to you and Kurt❤️
thank you! its from my grammy :) and ahhhhh love back to you two too!
me and my limited cooking skills are definitely going to try that soup, looks so good.
Black light theatre is fun in Prague and Cafe Imperial is a nice place to visit :)
Lovely video!
I know I'm very late, but I have some tips for Prague as I have been there 2 times now.
A walking tour on day one is the best idea as you get to see most important sights and get a feel for the city. There are usually tours for the city center and tours for the Hradschin (including some of Prague castle). I recommend doing both.
For cheap food, just hop on a cable car and go 10 stations in whatever direction, and then see what you can find. I'm not sure how easy this will be with finding something vegetarian, but it should be doable.
An event that I found very fun was the black light theater. They have very cute shows.
A very cool place to visit is the Clementinum, it has nice art on the walls, old artifacts and interesting architecture (though I didn't really appreciate it when I was 17 lol).
The best (free) view over Prague in my opinion is from the Pražský metronom.
Lastly, my favorite place in all of Prague is the Park Legií to just sit and chill right at the river when the weather is warm enough.
Hi Cari, I was watching your latest vlog on yt and learned that you have Hungarian roots and that you want to visit Hungary in the future. I’m so happy to hear that and let me know if you need any help or tips for coming to Hungary, what to visit in the country side, hidden gems, etc you know. As you helped me and inspired me to visit places in South Korea too, in April I’m going there and will def visit Gyeongju, your blog was amazing. Keep up the good work and take care ❤️
Always so magical 🥺✨
the surprise snowfall on thursday really got me!
i don't know if this is a weird thing to say but i love your talking voice so much, it's just so soothing
oh man you walked right past my workplace when you were in Seoul soop! I can confirm that those rollerblading classes happen every day, morning and afternoon, because I can see them from my workplace's windows and I get very invested haha.
I'm so excited for you to go to Prague! I visited last September and had the greatest time!! Such kind people and beautiful architecture! There's literally so much to do! Here are some of my favorite things I did on the trip:
1. Czech beer is famous so make sure you try a local pilsner! You can get one at literally any bar/restaurant. I also highly recommend pairing it with Czech beef goulash with dumplings! Doesn't matter where you get it, but you get a hearty filling meal for like $5 it's insane
2. My favorite bars if you want some good nightlife:
MoonClub - standard bar/club, super nice bartenders who will recognize you if you go on multiple nights (shoutout to Tom lol), tasty cocktails, can be very busy on weekends, cool aerial silk performances too
Hive Bar - went for karaoke, stayed for the bartender (her name is Sara and she was so sweet)
Berlin Bar - good cocktails, also great karaoke too
Buddha Bar - fun cocktails, great atmosphere, and apparently the food is good too, it's asian fusion
Harley's - an American themed bar and it was so fun but my god so nasty, just like good old American bars LOL this place gets sweaty for sure but plays great music
3. Wencelas Square, it's this huge walkable promenade up to the Narodni Museum, when I went they had small huts of food/gift stalls set up in the square, like a Christmas market
4. Old Town Square of course, it's the heart of Old Town with beautiful buildings
5. You can go up the Petrin funicular to walk around the top of a hill that overlooks Prague and the Vltava, you might some views, there's cool buildings, I unfortunately couldn't explore all of it but I feel like there's cool stuff up there
6. Mucha Museum, so many beautiful original artworks by Mucha, it's a very small museum, but I highly enjoyed nonetheless
7. The Globe Bookstore, it's the best english bookstore in Prague in my opinion, very nice employees and there's a cool looking bar in the back! I wish I went in and had a beer lol
8. Hospudka Na Hradbach, it's a beer garden at the top of this fortress/hill and offers great views of Prague, especially at sunset. There's an old cathedral nearby that looked super cool too
9. Klementinum, apparently for $7 you can get a tour of this gorgeous old library, but unfortunately I didn't have time to go! So I tell you in case you're interested lol
10. Prague Castle, beautiful cathedral - definitely go there earlier in the day as it can get packed and there are other buildings to go into within its block, I just didn't have the time to go in any of them
Literally the only Czech words I needed during my stay:
Hello - "Ahoy" (informal), "Dobre den" (formal)
Thank you - "Diky" (informal), "Diky moc" (moc pronounced like between "motts" and "mutts", formal, like thank you very much)
Good Morning - "Dobre ráno"
Good Night - "Dobre noc" (pronounced like between "nuts" and "nots")
*Also if you know any Russian you're golden as Czech and Russian are super similar, plus like half the Uber drivers are either Ukrainian, Uzbek, or Russian
Cari these videos always make me smile! Stay warm!! Lol
thank you :''') stay warm too!
I can recommend getting lunch at Havelskà Koruna in Prague. Looks simple, but the food was the best we had on our trip.
your journal totally inspired me by the way i have a tiny pocket one so i can really only write 5ish words but i’ve written in it for all of jan already so i’m really happy 😊thank you for the idea! and happy new year to you! 🧧
omg yessss!!!! and happy new year :)
@@caricakes i commented too early! VIENNA!! so exciting, it’s my birthplace and home at heart. i hope you will have a great time (and that the viennese will be kind to you, they can be a bit rude sometimes…) 🤍
recommendations: museumsquartier (MQ) and then the neighbourhood right around there (Neubau) there’s lots of little stores and cute cafes a bit alternative and artsy :) def see and look if you can get tickets for a concert or opera or smth there’s always something going on and it’s actually quite common to go! Schloß Belvedere is my absolute must their collection is incredible. Schönbrunn has great views over vienna actually if you go up a little hill, but for parks to see i‘d say Türkenschanzpark. Also vienna is layed out in a semicircle, right? you can take the U-Bahn along it and it feels like a sightseeing-tour cause so many of the beautiful sights are along there ☺️
You, Sissel and Kyuho&Sara are my most watched channels here. :)
:''')
Pb + Nutella?? I need to try! Love your videos btw 🦄💕
Did I just see someone running in shorts just when you were talking it was freezing? Ouch 😂 The corgi was a nice surprise and I am now very hungry thank you very much.
I did exchange in Czech Republic back in 2017, and it was such a memorable experience. I wasn't in Prague, but I went there a couple times, it holds such a special place in my heart, one of the most beautiful places! i hope you enjoy it.
i cant wait!
Definitely making this soup today!
yes!!!
so excited you’re coming to Czechia!!! and knowing you’re a cafe aficionado, i recommend my prague favorite - ouky douky in holešovice ❤️ and for a more known spot, kyvadlo (aka pendulum, former location of a giant Stalin monument) has the best views and cool surroundings!
I moved to Tokyo last fall for school, and it's so lovely:) Are you planning on doing a meet and greet when you come to Japan if you're coming to Tokyo? It snowed a little bit here too!!🥰
I'm having mushroom soup tonight - yum!
Hey Cari .. wonderful vlogg as always .. ❤❤ love the music you choose , it’s so relaxing xxx Keep Warm ..
thank you always!
That fleece you were wearing while cutting mushrooms is gorgeous! Please tell me that's a thing that can still be bought. It's beautiful.
