    The way you are letting your viewers know the importance of spending time alone without directly saying it but instead just showing it through your vlogs are actually amazing. 😩

    Omg this is insane, I moved to Gwangju to teach back in February and I've done my fair share of cafe hopping here - and I've visited Damyang a couple of times as well! I recognize literally every single shot that you filmed this video!! It feels so strange to see you in all the places that I recognize like the back of my hand now

    I also get that temporary relieved feeling when I'm outside and I'm sick. I hope you'll return to full health soon! It looks like you made the best of your time and enjoyed beautiful Gwangju. I'm afraid to get sick, so I've been wearing a face mask every time I ride the train because there are so many people not covering their sneezes and coughs. I look forward to seeing you wearing your finished scarf in upcoming videos. I think the colors look good together, but maybe it just needs thinner brown rows. I just finished crocheting myself a sweater that I started in April and I'm so happy I finished it in time to wear it in Korea's early winter! Stay warm, Cari!

Thank you for taking us to see that jiggling rabbit (who looks more like a cat to me :D ) and for this vid (I discovered new music again!!), it lifted my spirits up because I'm so tired I don't even have words.

And then as I'm watching your video today, you and Kurt are sick! On the other side of the planet no less. When you were out walking around in that beautiful area, I'm surprised you didn't try grounding yourself as a possible remedy for your ailment. Would have been an interesting experiment. That scarf just has to be... well, it shows what knitting under the influence of a virus can cause lol. Stay safe and get well soon!

    Despite the fact that I rarely get sick and that I had 4 vaccines before leaving, 3 days into my Paris trip I caught that cold too. I was worried about Covid but only had a couple of similar symptoms. I think it was the long airplane ride, wet, rainy and cooler weather in Paris and other sick people on the Metro. Several people in my group also developed colds. Feeling much better now that I'm home.

    I got the same damn sickness over here in New England, USA around the same time too. It was awful and just hits you like a ton of bricks! I’m on my 2nd week and I’m still not fully better, it’s the damn mucus and lingering cough! But I hope you’re feeling much better. I feel for anyone who gets this cold. It’s SO nasty. 😞 New subscriber here and loving your vlogs! ❤
