The North American term for "haberdashery" is "notions", and here in France it's "mercerie" lol

Growing up is realizing Martina was the driving force behind the editing, quality, and humor all these years

[@Melpomium]

She's crazy talented!

[@Mimlou]

yes, this!!! 👏👏

[@jenntiffany]

As someone from this funny island, this was suchhh a refreshing watch, it feels like you brought the magic back to this place and helped bring appreciation to the things that would go unnoticed

[@timothycrespin6836]

Sadly I think she was gently taking the piss on the mediocrity that’s is the uk

[@florabramwell2638]

Huzzah, you went to parts of England other than London!!!!! This is the first video in ages I've watched of someone visiting the UK and actually feeling like they really got a genuine taste of what the country has to offer. So glad you enjoyed yourself, though im guessing it wasn't always the most accessible, hope you weren't too sore afterwards 😅 if you ever come to Scotland we'll set you up with all the recommendations you'll need 😊❤

[@crabapples1995]

Absolutely! I’m a Londoner and get so annoyed that we receive ALMOST all the attention, especially as it is a pretty soulless finance capital anyway now.

[@GenevaCat]

😭 y'all are hogging all the whimsy over there!

[@chewyah]

I really loved this because as someone from England, it's quite dreary and depressing but seeing it through this lens makes me realise how beautiful our country is. Thankyou for letting me view my home through that lens❤

[@frogprinceling]

As a scot, I'm both crying and laughing at the fact that the beginning shows the pin clearly in Scotland followed by Martina saying "England"

[@KingKogi]

I wasn’t sure how many people would catch that haha

[@CyberBBtv]

We don't really carry umbrellas because it's usually also very windy and it turns your umbrella inside out :)

[@KingKogi]

Ooooh I see. I mean, personally I’d still risk it 😂

[@petrichor499]

​@@KingKogi I carry them. Always. Its england.

@@KingKogi Pro tip: In addition to emergency brolly we like to have a jack in a pack (translation: rolled up rain jacket) ready for when it gets soggy!

[@fuzziepeaches56]

Funnily enough I live in NL, Canada & I'm always shocked by how many people I see in London using umbrellas bc we fully consider them a waste of time here with the wind 😂.

[@llamabean529]

Wear it like a hat and it's a lot easier, also muji umbrellas.

[@reian9521]

so happy to see you thriving 🩷 I’ve been watching your videos since I was 10 (I’m 19 now!), and your videos have helped me through so much. I appreciate you, martina! keep keeping it cool 😎

[@katetsuder3Gen]

Martina, you've outdone yourself, this is an atmospheric, cinematic and comedic masterpiece, I love it! Also, yay, it's a Dan!

[@jkgannon1049]

WONDERFUL episode! An avid, shameless fan of England/Wales/Cornwall/Scotland travelogues, I have never seen such a brilliant piece! Well paced, humorous, delightful narration, great editing, exceptional photography, content is super. Can't sing enough praises for the content! *despite all the judgement over the Great Struggle of the Big Beach Chair from the three stodgy doggy jury TY Martina!

[@KingKogi]

Thank you for the kind feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and so did those three dogs watching me struggle 😂

[@ohrats731]

LEMON CURD AND CLOTTED CREAM ICE CREAMS?!? Shut the front door. That sounds HEAVENLY. Two spreads that are criminally underrated in North America. People here just don’t understand! I’m going to have to try to make those ice creams myself 😋

[@kauaijohn]

Dan!

[@Baeomran]

Welcome to the uk 🇬🇧 you should discover up north (York , Liverpool , Manchester , new castle , Durhams, Lincolnshire , Lancaster, Glasgow , Scarborough, Edinburgh, Aberdeen)

[@KingKogi]

Next time indeed! I’d like to see more of England, and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland are bucketlist locations 🥰

[@teamfurball6781]

I agree with @baeomran You need to visit the shambles in York for those Diagon Alley vibes.

[@jah060689]

Oh I just had the happiest little flutter in my heart! These videos are my comfort :) Thank you for being so lovely and sharing your adventures! ♥

[@I_am_Lauren]

This is a lovely format! I really enjoyed it! You did a good job of showing off stereotypical things that people would be drawn to England for as well as charming local spots. All while giving nostalgic anecdotes.

[@pikachupatronus7680]

I can’t believe you were in my neck of the woods (Dorset)! I hope you enjoyed your trip!! Lyme Regis is one of my favourite places (except for the hills).

[@KingKogi]

It was very hilly indeed, but these hiking sneakers I bought are so amazingly grippy.

[@mjc00610]

It's so weird seeing Martina in my country! I'm glad you had a good time! I forget how many funny place names we have lol

[@mediocreascanbe4381]

YES! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A DECADE FOR YOUR OBSERVATIONS OF OTHER CONTINENTS! I am loving this for you, Martina!!! 🤩

[@Blue_Caribou]

I'm so glad you enjoyed visiting the UK - and got outside London! Yes, we really don't consider that sort of light misting drizzle as "proper" rain - it's only a bit blustery after all! One of the UK's comic authors joked that there are over 200 types of rain, including, but not limited to: Type 11: breezy droplets Type 17: dirty blatter Type 33: light pricking drizzle which made the roads slippery Type 39: heavy spotting Type 47: vertical light drizzle Type 51: sharply slanting light to moderate drizzle freshening Types 87 and 88: two finely distinguished varieties of vertical torrential downpour Type 100: post-downpour squalling, cold Type 123: mild cold gusting Type 124: intermediate cold gusting Type 126: regular cab-drumming Type 127: syncopated cab-drumming Types 192 to 213: seastorm types Type 232: Bucketing down

[@KingKogi]

I love this! Thanks for sharing the rain descriptions, I’ll pass this onto Dan 🌧️

[@Starmongoose]

Videos like these remind me that the UK is a beautiful place and not to get too down about my homeland. I hope you visit Scotland sometime!

[@ItGetsDarkatNight]

As someone who lives in the UK. Can confirm the South West is beautiful! Lyme Regis/ Sidmouth and Exeter are a great part of the country! I also collect milk bottles from vending machines across the UK! I think they look so cute as decoration and gets me out and about sometimes!

[@KingKogi]

Oh my gosh there is more than one milk vending machine!!?? Such a cool adventure idea, I love it! Please let me know where another one is so I can head there next time

[@hx0ad5]

i am SO unnecessarily hyped that you met the bristol goats, they are my best friends and seeing people's reactions when they had no idea about the goats (especially non-brits, do we just have a built-in immunity to goat surprise??) is infinitely entertaining. now then... i hope you get up to scotland at some point!! the highlands aren't the most friendly for those of us with Special Joints but finding a suitable spot to explore up there is 100% worth it, sorry england but i will forever miss the true wildness of wilderness up there

[@KingKogi]

🐐 I was like GOAT GOOOOATS OMG GOAT!!!

[@BoogieSnacks]

I'm a simple man, I see a new King Kogi video go up at 4am - I simply get no sleep and watch

[@Justskiddin]

So glad you had a good trip and enjoyed the UK, so many people bash and put down the UK, for our food and other things, but when we have nice weather, there is a lot of nice things to offer, and friendly people outside of big cities, most tourists only go to london, it isnt the only place in the UK ahaha

[@coffeew1tch]

Biggleswade is giving Kogi’s British cousin 😭🫶🏼 p.s the first umbrella you have is so cute!

[@KingKogi]

My cute sunbrella from Japan that was so tiny, but helped me be less wet when everyone said “you don’t need it” hahaha 😂 ☂️

[@naeriface]

So cute and fun that you show Dan Canada and he shows you the UK!

[@Hopstar88]

This video was entirely surreal for me! I've really enjoyed your Japan and Korea content for a long time. Then you decide to visit the UK...amazing... only you went to Exeter 20 mins from my house, and Sidmouth 20 mins from where I used to live. I wasn't expecting that. The world is small. I'm glad you had a great time in Blighty! 🐷

[@ClockworkFaery]

Wetwang is a village near me in Yorkshire. Thought that might make you giggle. 😂 ❤

[@KingKogi]

WETWANG I want to wear the shirt

[@skinobie42]

Bristol repped by wild goats and diagon alley, lol! Was lovely to have you over. Look forward to next time x

[@KingKogi]

I loved the goats and of course, the amazing people in Bristol too ❤

I was totally expecting a CROD sticker to pop up at the end there! 😂 thanks for sharing your joyful travels with us Martina!

[@sass2836]

It's magic seeing the UK through your eyes, Martina! So glad you enjoyed. I'm now both nostalgic and ravenous!

I love everything about this

[@MappingOutMyTheories]

You were in my homeland!? From the top I knew you were about to laugh us out of the room... Personally, I believe I was the correct amount of offended by this satirical commentary. I appreciate you pulling the colelctive chain of all us Brits watching 👏

[@KingKogi]

I know the Brits can take a joke and some fun banter, so I didn’t want to make a typical video. Glad you liked it! I had such a good time can’t wait to come back and explore again 😊

[@Pattabytes]

Ahh omg i live in exeter and its so awesome to see you enjoy the south west and uk! Love crankhouse coffee ☕☕

[@KingKogi]

Crankhouse was amazing! I’m jealous. And that little area where Sacred Grounds is located has such a cool vibe. Vintage clothing, tea shop, cider and beer shop… so neat!

[@francescabrooker-rao9534]

This is so wonderful!! I’m English and live in Devon 😊 plus I lived in Leicester for five years and I visit Bristol, Exeter and Lyme Regis regularly so this video was a stunned recognising of places one after the other!!

There's a place in Cumbria called Cockermouth, and people in South Yorkshire often use 'cock' or 'cocker' as a term of endearment 😂 it's nice to see someone visiting the UK and going to places other then London!

[@tch1005]

In Newfoundland, it's not rare to hear 'me ol' cock' as a term of endearment

I half expected to hear you bust out the ol' "Rooocks Sand" during the beach scene near the end after mentioning both rocks and sand.

[@KingKogi]

You were correct 🪨

[@snoozleblob]

As usual I love your perspective and commentary when you introduce places in your videos, but also shout out to your musical edits/choice! Noticeably important in this particular video on the vibe(?) here! Thanks, Martina!

i only started eating fish again after 2020 when we had fish in japan, so i was able to actually enjoy fish & chips when i moved to scotland.

Amazing video Martina ! I love your "spin" on things and the way you tell your stories! So fun!

[@itsmahree]

will we get more travel vlogs in the future? loved this martina!

[@lyntoamariyo]

A little fun fact. Whenever you see ye in places like "ye olde...", the y is actually a th sound. It comes from the letter þ (thorn) which in cursive looked similar to the modern y, when printing presses were starting to be a thing, it was cheaper (as it used fewer letters) to use a y given its similarity (and that y was not as commonly used in spelling at that point) in place of þ !

[@VN2L]

Thank you for not shitting on our food lmao, it gets such a bad rap but it's honestly not that bad, and I actually think we do desserts like nowhere else. I'll have a knickerbocker glory or banoffee pie or sticky toffee pudding after dinner any day lmao. I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself! And for some reason I couldn't believe this was your first time in the UK?? I love that you found such magic and charm in the ye olde towns, it's a lot harder to see when you're used to 500 year old buildings sitting about everywhere. I hope Dan has a newfound appreciation for it too! (P.S - Please come to Ireland some time for Halloween if you want top-tier super traditional celebrations, you won't be disappointed, I promise!)

[@brandon3872]

Lol exactly, we walk past ancient buildings every day and don't bat an eyelid 😂

[@wanderingjadah]

The attitude towards rain sounds like how living in Seattle was. A large part of the year there was just moisture in the air and I rarely saw umbrellas or rain jackets.

[@daisydherata1272]

I think UK people deal with rain the same way we do in BC. I was like you when I moved from Paris to Vancouver 13 years ago, and know I’m like “Meh…not raining enough to bother with an umbrella”. It drives my mom crazy when I go back visiting 😂 Glad you had a good time

[@arcanedame3015]

Loved this!! I just traveled to the UK on personal business, so I didn’t get to explore much outside of a few bigger tourist spots. It felt a bit intimidating trying to find cozier spots to go but that beach was exactly what I had hoped to see when I went but didn’t get to make it out there. Gonna take some notes from this video for next time I go!

[@ELTExperiences]

I hope you enjoyed your time in the UK, my home. So nice to see you visiting the UK. Oh, and if you are in to Tarantino movies then you may have heard "haberdashery" in "The Hateful Eight" when roll up at the winter cabin.

[@KingKogi]

I’m a fan of Tarantino, and I saw Hateful Eight but I totally don’t recall that moment! Time for a re-watch.

[@rachellwhelan]

This was such a nice video! Hilarious voice over, beautiful scenes, and so much fun.

As someone who has been with 2 Englishmen for nearly 10 years combined and countless of friends from the UK, I can really relate to a lot of these things. I honestly do really love England. It's just my kind of country and it feels like my home.

[@YenTomi]

i’ve started bringing back some sort of treat from my travels, and it’s such a good way to extend your vacation vibes!

The one staple food you missed according to every British youtuber I've seen is Greg's sausage rolls! Apparently sausage rolls are very popular there, as much as fish and chips
