harry potter is huge here! there's even a harry potter cafe that decorated itself soooo well :') but you're right, its like a harry potter/beauty and the beast dream!
@@caricakes Me and my partner tried to put a tree together, till he decided one year I'm best at putting the tree up. I don't mind doing it alone. I'm also a pefectionist!
I really wish I‘d be able to enjoy christmas time a lot more. For me it‘s just so stressful and I‘m glad when it finally is over. But seeing you strolling around christmassy Seoul is really a treat. Starting my sundays with your vlogs is always something I look forward to. Have a wonderful time at home Cari❤️
I love seeing Christmas in the city!🤩 I’m spending the holiday alone in rural Japan eating クリスマスケーキ and watching classic Christmas movies on my laptop. Nice but lonely, so it was really sweet to enjoy Xmas in Seoul with you through this vid🙂Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Your videos are wonderful because they show the rest of the world how magical Seoul is. Those coffee shops with mismatched decorations and messy displays that look aesthetically beautiful is quite an art! Thank you, Cari. You have an eye for unique beauty.
Thanks for the vlogs. It’s kept me sane. I’m heading to my sisters for Christmas . She finally retired after 20 years on the police force. She didn’t want me spending Christmas alone. I hope you and Kurt have a good one.
Haven't commented in a while on here! Hope December is good for you so far Cari, and that you have a safe trip to the States 🥰 Thank you as always for showing us this bits of magic in Seoul!! I absolutely adore your channels ✨❤️ Lots of love ❤️❤️
I never want to look away for one second... or even blink - Your videos capture SO many little (wonderful) details about Korea... things that one would typically only get to see by living there. I miss Korea every day, and I am SO grateful for your thoughtful and loving presentations of life in SK. Thank you thank you thank you! P.S. A bit about me: I am a vegan, cat-loving teacher from Ottawa, Canada who spent many years teaching in SK (first back in 2005).
I had to laugh a lot, because in this café there was a book on the shelf with the German title "Abnehmen mit dem inneren Schweinehund", which translates as something like "Losing weight with your weak self" or "Schweinhund" literally means "Pig." Dog ". It is the inner self, so to speak, that keeps you from losing weight. The illustration goes so well with it. And then there was such delicious cake and dessert everywhere. :D
Loved this vlog, very festive . City looks great . Laughing so hard when Kurt said he would say his wife decorated the tree 😂. Cool Christmas stores , obsessed. I love to watch The Nutcracker as well during this time and yes it's kind of disturbing lol . All the desserts looked yummy . Thank you for this long festive vlog !
I've a friend living in Tokyo and it always cracks me up when he sends on photos of the Japanese perspectives of what they perceive Christmas is including some very strange looking Santas in shop windows.
@@caricakes I'm in the west of Ireland. We get dark, dank, wet weather most Christmases. We were married in Sept 2011 and went on a honeymoon road trip over that Christmas and New Year across California / Nevada / Arizona. What was weird was driving down roads at night looking at plastic santas and snowmen in people gardens all lit up looking Christmassy and then the following day seeing those same houses surrounded with sand in the middle of the desert with no grass or foliage of any sort in sight mile after mile after mile. Enjoy your Christmas at home. We've just found out new restrictions here in Ireland because of the latest strain of Covid. All bars, restaurants and indoor venues have an 8pm closing time and reduced capacity. There goes any Christmas nights out of meeting friends out the window and several friends who have either just returned home or just about to return home questioning whether it was a good idea to fly halfway around the world to be stuck in the same house as their families after 2 years away....
Thank you for the amazing 2021 videos and introducing me to amazing music/song in your videos. My Sundays are better with your videos. Happy Holidays & Have a safe US trip. And about the sweater...
Just came back from a Christmas market with a friend and sat down with tea to watch this new vlog! Thank you for taking us around Seoul as usual, I loved the vibe in this, so christmasy (that's a word, right?) and warm - the same feeling I had today watching people meet up and be so happy. Christmas really pulls that kindness out of people. But I must admit that the blinking tree took me out, I was laughing so hard :D
I haven't felt the christmas spirit this year, as I've been through much pain in the past months, But watching this vlog made me feel the spirit of christmas, and I even smiled on how pretty those xmas decorations and lights are. It was a tough week on where I lived, as a strong typhoon rampaged on us and it made me down. Thnak you, Cari for these amazing vlogs!
So excited to see your U.S. Christmas vlogs!!! 🎄😊🎄It’s going to be an East Coast Christmas in your parents new home. Safe travels and have a wonderful time with your family.
My absolute favourite part of the holidays is the light displays and the ones that you saw didn't disappoint ! Stay safe and enjoy your holiday season !
Thank you for this wonderful video Cari!! Your videos are the most comforting things for me, to just cosy up with a cup of xmas coffee and biscuits and knitting ❤️ have a safe trip back home and have a wonderful Christmas 🤶 x
I used to dance so The Nutcracker music and story in forever in my mind. It's true it's got darkness in it, but like any other 19th century tale. I wouldn't say it's gothic, but it definetely has some gothic elements to it. I hope you have a good flight and happy christmas Cari!
Hi Cari, thank you for the Christmas video. Glad you remembered Oban. I am looking forward to seeing your parents new home, lived in and decorated. 🌲 Don't give up the day job he he. I take it you are in the States by now. Wishing you and Kurt a very merry Christmas. 😄XX
Great video full of Christmas things. Dogs and Scottish Biscuits which ive tasted before and they are delicous with coffee But the Gingerbread men i remember when i was about five we had a school reding lesson and it ws about the Gingrbread men which scared me/ Love the sweater and the earings
That strawberry compote cake (scone?) at the second café where you got the teddy bear cake looked amazing. That is definitely what I would order if I walked into that café.
17:10 I was at this cafe back in November and I just clearly remember the painting of the adult baby on the wall 😂 also the cheesecake was *chefs kiss*
Cari i'm so glad you had your break you seem so much happier and healthier! wishing you all the xmas cheer and happy holidays! thank you for all the content this year i'm obsessed with u and can't wait for what the new year brings you!!!
Such wonderful X-mas decorations and awesome Coffee places , it is great to see how you explore all those places , it is a wake up call for me as a homester I need to discover new places in my own tiny country Belgium. Such cute mini Labradoodles in that shop and btw I loved your green pullover at the end . Merry X-mas to you and your family . Looking forward to see your next videos xx
Wow! Kurt throwing u under the bus😂❤️ I am not a ”christmas-y” person and do not really celebrate christmas, but I really enjoyed this video, so sweet!😆❄️☃️ The music😍😍😍 Hope u have a great christmas! Christmas wishes from not-so-snowy anymore west coast Sweden❄️❄️
Love love love this vlog ! I'm an elf at heart so this was wonderful in my 👀 I live just outside London so my boyfriend and I are having a festive day at winter wonderland in Hyde Park tomorrow 🤍❄🎄
This was very funny. 😂 With all these scary Santa Clauses... The book in the bakery "highwaist" with the happily laughing pig on it, the title says translated "reduce weight with your inner temptation", literally translated "with your inner pig dog". Very funny and irritating. 😂
The Various versions of the nutcracker yup! The rats and the rat king ( who has seven heads some versions) ,the battle ….. ⚔️🐀💥and then where off to gumdrop land with that happy music 🤣 . The happy tree as a weeping angel from Doctor Who “ don’t blink “ 😂!
wow Shinsawgae looks amazing,, I used to love to pop into all the hotels and make a day of visit them and checking out their decorations. Watching ur videos do make me miss Korea a lot. Have a safe holiday stateside.
Oh my gosh the Christmas lights in Seoul are unreal 😍 But not a fan of those dancing and saxophone playing Santa’s.. haha 😂 Have a safe trip back to the U.S.!!
Ha ha why is this spooky Christmas-vibe making me think of Beetlejuice hanging Christmas lights on Elm Street? ^^ scarrrrry Christmas vibes ^^ and so many of them .... Hallo-mas and Christ-ween ^^ all mixed up.
17:06 The red book with the pig on, is in German and says "how to loose weight with the inner temptation" but the literal translation would be with the inner swinedog (Schweinehund):D its a unique German word for your inner lazy and temptative character... funny to see it being dsplayed in a korean cafe... and "bitte"/"bitteschön" means please/your welcome in German
btw it snowed a ton in seoul last night and its a winter wonderland so see you next week for a snowy vlog (finally!)
Hype :D
20% of this video was Cari making terrifying Christmas things, but I'm here for it!
bahahah spooky christmas it is!!
i cried because how beautiful Korea's hidden places are, those little cafe in a corner or low profile places 😭😭😭😭😭
🥲🙏🥲🙏
THE CHRISTMAS TREE IS HILARIOUS 😂 But you guys did a great job putting it up!
thank you :''''') hahhha
If the Harry Potter movie franchise actually reached Korea,COEX would be the perfect venue for it omg that indoor library straight out of Hogwarts
harry potter is huge here! there's even a harry potter cafe that decorated itself soooo well :') but you're right, its like a harry potter/beauty and the beast dream!
Our tree decorating always turns into a mini family feuds because everyone’s finally old enough to have an opinion😅
I wish we were as cute as you two!
LOL i can imagine!! luckily im an only child so hahahaha

17:06 The red book with the pig on, is in German and says "how to loose weight with the inner temptation" but the literal translation would be with the inner swinedog (Schweinehund):D its a unique German word for your inner lazy and temptative character... funny to see it being dsplayed in a korean cafe... and "bitte"/"bitteschön" means please/your welcome in German
omg i love that hahahhha
