    Hey everyone! PLEASE be aware of some flashing from the lights if you're epileptic the setting was wrong on my camera and I didn't realise. Loving the vibes in Seoul, I wonder if you've been before?!

    Korea is colder than Japan (except Hokkaido) mostly and China (except NE provinces), so be prepared for full winter when visiting Seoul in December - February.

    You were lucky though.
    You avoided the coldest weather in Seoul..
    Today, Seoul is -12
    But the actual temperature felt was -15 degrees.
    Because it feels colder with the wind.

    I would have to eat kimchi and rice for every meal while I was there lol. My best friend in high school was Korean and her Mom made the best kimchi! She would just eat it with rice all the time and she was the one who got me doing that as well.

    Hi from a cold Finland, -12 degrees and lots of snow. You are so brave walking around in thongs when the weather is that cold, wouldnt cross my mind when its below +15 degrees 😄 Seoul seems like a really great place. Love your vlogmas and having a great video to look forward to every day😊 Thanks!

      Finland!! What a cool place to be! It's FREEZING haha how do you do it all the time!! My toenail got ripped off last video so I couldn't put a closed shoe on it - definitely would have worn them if I wasn't in pain haha! Seoul is awesome, didn't expect to like it as much as I did!! Thank you so much for watching vlogmas!! 😊

    I can't get enough of your vlog and video from your main channel. They are awesome! And I'm so impressed that you edit and upload them so fast. Keep it up, Josie!
    Edited: Perhaps you can mute the video and then do a simple voice-over or some words explaining it? or just show us your reaction will do.

      I bought winter gear haha. I had a singlet, 1 $100 thermal long sleeve shirt on, a long sleeve shirt, a jumper, and I bought trackpants specifically to go to Korea. There's really no issues here guys besides the fact I had thongs on which in the previous video I showed I ripped my toenail off so I couldn't wear closed in shoes haha. (It hurt a lot) 😂

    We don't buy fruit too often in Japan. It's pricey. If we do, we usually get a kilo of grapes at costco for about 1000yen., but that's not a fair comparison.

    • @josievlogsthings
      @josievlogsthings  Рік тому

    I realize Korea is so different than Japan, I had a misconception that they would be similar. People are more expressive and overall the place looks different to Japan.
    Let’s hope it’s affordable compared to Japan. Thanks for the vlog!
    BTW love this video blog format.
    I hope there is some why that UA-cam automatically remove copyrighted music part and you don’t have to edit this heavily.

    • @josievlogsthings
