[@caricakes]

where are you guys in the subtitle vs dub debate? i have never met a dubbed film that i could take seriously lol (other than howls moving castle!)

[@seyiosinubi]

I exclusively watch sub except for studio ghibli movies ( I just prefer dub 🤷🏾‍♀️ )

[@2lulubelle]

Sub all the way. I just like to hear the original language and don't mind reading the translation.

[@DancingKitkat13]

Both sub or dub is great it’s just your preference cari there is some bad dubs as someone who has watched a lot anime. I just prefer dubs because I’m too lazy to eat subtitles but if I love the show enough to watch it or wait for English dubs I do watch subs

[@ninamarie177]

The only times I watch dubbed movies are when I’m watching TV because Germany insists on dubbing everything. The quality of the dubs are really good, especially for popular movies and tv shows but I still prefer subtitles. The only downside is that when I’m watching something whilst getting ready I have to rewind often because I forget that I don’t actually understand the dialog. Weirdly enough I prefer English subtitles to German ones, I’m not sure if they’re better or if it’s that phenomenon that one can handle emotional things better in one’s second language so romantic scenes don’t seem as cringy.

[@mav7079]

[@yeki1217]

I'm Korean, my english sounds a bit weird. But please understanding me😂 I'd like to say I could find a lot of hidden great spots in Korea thanks to your videos. I felt like I was traveling! It is such a great thing to see my country through other people's eyes. Thank you so much for sharing your life! I'll keep watching your channel!

[@caricakes]

thank you so much! sometimes when you live somewhere for a long time it is difficult to find exciting places so I'm happy to be a fresh pair of eyes for you^^

[@allisonhosman3986]

This is really true! Having the chance to see a place you know and love through someone else’s perspective really does help you see those places through new eyes.

[@seyiosinubi]

this is so random but I absolutely love the rain?! I know a lot of people hate gloomy weather but it’s so relaxing for me even if I get wet (:

[@caricakes]

i like it when its not for 2 months straight hahah a random rainy day - love! a whole season - gimme some sun :'''')

[@luciaret]

Sameeeeee☔

[@CarliBABE16]

Living in Ilsan for 2 years and then Seoul for 2 more years really made me understand that I really thrive in a city environment. Also definitely the amazing cafés and love of art and all things aesthetic made living in Korea an easy decision. I miss it everyday. But not the cicadas in the summer, I hated that screaming sound 😅

[@caricakes]

the convenience is definitely hard to beat :') and omg yes pls take them away hahah

so glad you have good memories!

That thrifted yellow dress will be so cute with just a few adjustments. Shorten the sleeves and tighten the armholes a tiny bit when you’re taking in the sides and it’s going to be perfect.

[@caricakes]

* takes notes * hahahha

[@laradavis1771]

There are so many things I love about living in Korea, the convenience, safety, plethora of things to do. But the biggest reason I decided to stay in Korea was because of the connections and friendships I made here

[@caricakes]

I really didn't fully understand the "Wednesday and Enid" interraction being relatable to you two, but after this incident: Cari: *sings TS* Kurt: Cari.... Don't make me noise cancel you. I understood and level up the ship I have always root of you ❤❤😂😂😂❤😂❤❤😂❤😂 I really love your relationship😂😂😂😂😂

[@caricakes]

thank you!! im so glad it fit hahah

[@mouseinparis]

Wonderful vlog as ever, Cari, thank you! Had no idea Kurt & you considered coming to live in France! I’m half-French and half-English (born in the South of France), been living in Paris for 27 years now and absolutely loving it! Such a beautiful, amazing city! Glad your finger is ok- as a professional musician I am very careful with my fingers and made me squirm just hearing you talk about it 😱 Hope you have a great week!

[@caricakes]

thank you so much and omg kurt is the same (as an engineer, he's like as long as my hands and brain is ok, im ok hahaha)

[@allisonhosman3986]

I really like seeing the strategies people employ to learn a new language in refreshing and authentic ways like watching KZbin videos. It makes me language teacher heart so happy 😁

[@ratgirl107]

No feeling my best these days but this vlog brought me so much comfort. Thank you Cari ❤

[@caricakes]

hope things turn around soon!

[@RaymondwLin]

Going to have to try the matcha yogurt bowl! It looks so good!

[@caricakes]

So easy too!! Literally just mix in a scoop of matcha!!

[@kaeppy]

hi cari! thank you so much for your videos, theyve helped me so much more than you'd ever know. i got an adhd diagnosis last monday, but way before that, i'd often put your videos up to motivate me into completing my tasks and being productive and it'd always help me get work done; your videos are always such a welcome motivator. i have extra help now in being productive, but i just wanted to thank you & let you know your videos are a bright spot in my days and weeks!

[@elfhchan]

Carri and Kurt are the most adorable couple ever!!! The way you too are so lovingly sassy with each other makes me smile, I hope you had a wonderful week!

[@caricakes]

[@katieb.4574]

These vlogs have become the highlight of my day

[@caricakes]

[@denissemondragon]

So excited about the possibility of you guys coming to live in France one day! I am Mexican and American, I've lived here for 7 years and I love it (La Rochelle, Grenoble and now Paris for the past 3 years). I can already picture you reading in a bunch of cute coffee shops and discovering hidden places! I also have some Korean friends who say there's a relatively large Korean community here in Paris so maybe that's also reassuring!

[@camilaascencio9855]

omg I jumped and screamed when you mentioned you were watching Maddy's vlogs! It is the inception of the content in youtube I love to watch, wonderful crossover!

[@kitkat2263]

This is my reminder to continue my korean learning journey haha. I also want to learn mandarin and japanese lol ,man a girl can dream. Lovely vlog as always. I like asian media like dramas, anime, books, but when it comes to Korea, I think I fell in love with it because of you Cari. Sadly I haven´t visited yet, hopefully I'll master the courage to travel alone and go next year.

The black and white dress looks great on you - def a great find. It's a heat wave all over the world - we are having to turn on our A/Cs in Northern California which is pretty rare. I will be going down to Southern Cal next week (Anaheim) so will have to see how hot it is. Arizona is just roasting with 110 degrees F temps on the daily. And Death Valley hit 130F! Even with dry heat, at those temps it's deadly to be out for even a few minutes. You can basically cook eggs on the pavement.

[@sophievng]

Omg! Please tell us more about moving to France some day!! ❤❤❤

[@clairvoyantpegasus]

I loved, loved Into the Drowning Deep! It's like niche, but it went full-fledged niche. I read it when I was at my peak drunken fondness towards mermaids in literature, so I ate this one up deliciously. Loved the disability/neurodivergent representation as well, and also what it explores in terms of language, climate change (making humans their targets eventually), and that so much of Earth (plus the universe) is unfathomable, and often lethal/dangerous. Sorry to ramble, I just remembered how fun it was to read this book that I needed to share! 😆😅 Thank you for the video as well! Made my day 💗✨

[@caricakes]

I lived in Seoul for about 18 years and 15 years in France, UK and Australia all combined together. I think Seoul is really convenient in that you just get everything near proximity. Cheap public transport and feeling like I won't ever need to buy a car and most of all, it's the safest city that I have lived in. I really like to watch indie films and go to film festivals, there is really good independent theaters in Seoul which I love.

[@caricakes]

yes yes and yes!

Hi Cari, I always watch your videos, they give me peace and make me want to go have a coffee with you one day. For some reason I feel like we would get along haha. I want to tell you that my father passed away a few months ago. Right at this moment while watching your video she was texting with her boyfriend and I got really sad. Suddenly the shot of the window where it says "Take your time" came on and it comforted me, it made me realize that I have to give myself my time when I need it and that everything will be fine. I know it was not intentional, obviously, but I want to thank you and know that you are great company for me. Greetings from Uruguay! I hope one day we can meet and have a coffee together

I haven't lived in korea but this country seems very evolved and developed to live.especially islands and villages, not the cities. it will be a cool to live a slow paced or life where you can find peace. and in Korea so much has changed over the years so if i wanna work in entertainment inudstry or maybe live a slow life i would prefer it. It can give you both.

[@untitled1464]

my mom grew up watching anime in Mexico in the 70s and 80s and the shows/films she introduced to me were all Spanish dubbed given that back then it was cheaper and easier for Japanese companies to export anime to non-English speaking audiences as American companies had very expensive demands but also preferred to focus on domestic shows. so it honestly depends on the film. If I was already exposed to it dubbed as a kid, I will watch it dubbed. Most of the time though I will read subtitles. even when I watch English shows I have subtitles because the audio or whoever was editor did not mic up the actors right 😂
