new haircut, apartment fire, home interior shops, rooftop cafe | my life in seoul, korea VLOG

[@lux3226]

Your irritation after that fire is similar to mine. I live on the third floor of a 5 story building, and our alarm went off at 3am. So the hubby grabbed our important papers, we both grabbed our phones, and we were out the door within minutes. As we stepped out, my next door neighbor poked his head out, looked at me in confusion, I said "uh, fire alarm...?" He just scowled, grunted "I have a TWO year old", and slammed the door shut, as if it was some sort of childish game we were playing, and I had any control over it. I laughed at his idiocy and went downstairs, joining the rest of the more responsible inhabitants of our building. Turned out to be nothing, and after the fire department left, we all filed back in. But what made me mad that evening was not being awakened at such an ungodly hour, but rather, his attitude, and the attitude of MOST of the people in our building. If it HAD been a real fire, if there had been danger, those idiots would've caused countless firefighters to put themselves into harm's way, all because they didn't "feel like" getting their asses out of bed. And that neighbor specifically, for putting his child in possible danger. It's like, I get it, you don't want to get out of bed at 3am, but it's not like ANY of us WANTED to do it. You do some things, not because you want to, but because it's necessary and responsible. That is what it means to NOT to be an entitled douchebag.

[@caricakes]

>:( thats so frustrating!! glad everything was okay though, ugh!

[@JH-hh3sq]

Mm not justifying their lack of action at all, and you're 100% right but I wonder if it's because so many people are now just too desensitised because of false alarms.. I live in NZ and back in my high school our fire alarm used to go off randomly so often (sometimes some idiot would set it off intentionally) that eventually even some of my teachers didn't really pay much attention and only begrudgingly- and slowly- evacuated the class.. It's still not a valid reason not to evacuate I know, but I wonder if it may not be just as simple as that they didn't "feel like" it but that they're too used to the alarm being false

[@caricakes]

@@JH-hh3sq I get what you're saying but when they were standing there looking down at 2 fire trucks and an ambulance and STILL weren't moving, that's when i lost my mind >:(

[@AnimeCutie48]

The confidence of wearing a white tank while eating 떡볶이 👏👏👏

[@TheKELLY111111]

The QUEEN and I mean the absolute QUEEN of montages. Also special mention to the music in your vlogs. It’s always an experience watching your vlogs.

[@caricakes]

😭🙏😭🙏 thank you!

[@Annasdreaming]

Totally! I got artlist just to get access to this kind of music 🥺🥺

[@raywils901]

Back home, we have a few huge male ginkgo trees in our back yard. We have never pruned them, because they don’t produce the stinky fruit that females do, which is the only reason why I would assume they would do that. Ours are close to if not over 100 years old so they are much larger than those as well. They could prune them, to keep the uniform or so they don’t potentially obstruct any of the surrounding buildings. Ginkgo trees are very resilient trees, so it’s unlikely that they caught a blight. More than anything they are more prone to root issues, and need well draining. So hopefully next year they will be leave filled and beautiful again!

[@caricakes]

thats what im hoping!! i think because they're so close together they might have pruned them to keep them from growing too wide? either way, as long as they're healthy :''')

[@mnj27]

My Sunday is going so well with a new episode of Hometown Cha Cha Cha and a new Cari video!

[@caricakes]

i heard that episode was emotionally a killer so i hope this vlog calms you down hahahha

[@cheesebroccoli2166]

i was gonna say,,,, im having an emotional rollercoaster of a day because of that episode lol

[@judyannausa5713]

Same ❤❤❤

[@Lyssdris]

OH no I'm about to watch that episode!!!

[@nisthatshrestha1739]

My face was swollen after a night of watching the grandma episode. My sister was terrified looking at my face

[@RainMcNeil]

I can’t wait for the autumn in Seoul vlogs now that fall is here 👀 I’m so happy it’s finally cool enough here to wear sweaters!

[@caricakes]

have you been outside yet?! its WINTER hahahah the weather is so cold :''') hopefully autumn comes back

[@Annasdreaming]

And now it's getting warm I cant wait for the cherry blossoms~~

[@hannahtan4410]

The way u capture the looks of seoul always fascinates me. When i was living in seoul i certainly didnot see all what youre seeing. Like everyone else comments here I also feel like getting a treat unexpectedly warm by watching your beautifully filmed and edited vlog. Thanks again:)♡

[@caricakes]

thank you so much! i love that everyone sees the same places so differently :)

[@Annasdreaming]

I come here every time before going to Seoul just to get ideas 🥰🥰

[@pauli_joy]

Hi Cari how are you? Watching this video kinda made me reflect and realize that your videos have really influenced my mindset in life wherein I end up appreciating the small bits of happiness in life Just wanna say thank you for that!

[@caricakes]

:'''') thank you always! im doing really good and hope you are too!

[@말수니-g5f]

woke up at 8am in the morning, took a shower, made coffee and watching your new video, urh what a perfect sunday 😘 btw, love your new hair!!!

[@caricakes]

love it!!! and thank you!

[@mollymarie4354]

i love how casual you where- oh just a new haircut, A APARTMENT FIRE, home interior shops and a rooftop cafe :)

[@caricakes]

LOL

[@trinity9295]

I barley found you're channel today, so far im in love with the content you post! The vibe you give off is so sweet and so kind. i cannot wait to see more vlogs in the future

The little 🐈‍⬛ kitty getting scooped up broke me… I’m very Pisces tonight

I thought it was a stray and then that girl just GRABBED HIM 😂😂😂

[@moni.l0425]

saturday afternoon with another cari video🥰 i’m so close to my seoul trip i can hardly wait!!

[@caricakes]

yesssss!!!!!

[@melopepo]

Always appreciate the captions! I’m hyper sensitive and sometimes need to keep sounds at a low level so this is so nice 🤍

[@justjenniexxitic]

“Apartment fire” oh god I hope you’re okay! Stay safe, Cari! Also, your videos are so relaxing! Thank you for being so open minded and kind and treating us like we’re all there with you on your adventures! This past week has been nothing but exams, and I have more next week, too! Your videos really distract me and calm me down. Thank you! I love you! 🤗♥️✨

[@caricakes]

good luck on everything!! you'll be done and able to rest soon i hope!!

[@justjenniexxitic]

@@caricakes thank you! ☺️

[@SmileyCroissant]

Cari just btw, If you ever feel like doing this, I always thought you’d look beautiful with a short in the back, long in the front kind of haircut! But your hair looks BEAUTIFUL with the layers! Definitely a good choice! About the trees, I wonder if they do that to promote more growth? I know that is commonly done with lots of plants 🤗

[@caricakes]

thank you!! unfortunately the shorter my hair is, the harder it is to control hahah even the layered look takes more styling than im willing to put into it :') and yes i hope so!! much better than cutting them down^^

[@kod-ee-wom-pl]

안녕하세요? Thank you for the relaxing vlog. Agreed a new hair cut make a different and bring the good mood. Enjoyed watching. Happy Sunday 😊

[@caricakes]

Happy Sunday!!!

[@Daniel_A_Hernandez]

Thank you for always making such wonderful videos, I recently moved to Daegu from the US and have so much to learn and love about Korea. I’ve been able to make some great friends here. I love how alive the city feels compared to anywhere I’ve been in the states. Love all the positive energy. 😊

[@caricakes]

daegu is one of my favorite cities here! hope you settle in well :)

[@ziggyhale]

My maternal side is firefighters only and seeing how often people don't take fire alarms seriously gets me all riled up every time, wow. I'm glad it wasn't anything major and that everyone is safe.

[@caricakes]

Pretty much same! My grampy was fire chief and i feel like its my duty to be annoying about fire 🥲

[@leeleeg4169]

I’m loving your hair! Such a flattering cut on you.💕👩🏻‍🦰💕

[@tyencee]

im only 6 seconds in and the music immediately greeted me brightly and with cari's warm welcome ❤

[@FalafelSam]

The reactions of everyone in the theatre, especially in the horror movies I've been watching recently, are actually my favourite part of going to the theatre. Horror is not really my genre lol but it's fun nonetheless. And that radiometer you got is a really cool little thing and it should apparently react to light from flashlights and even the heat from your hand if you hold the bulb !

[@caricakes]

i agree!! i remember going to a movie that was sort of psychedelic and every time the movie got sort of nauseating, the audience would groan hahaha

[@satyakidas572]

I have been following many vloggers since a long. But beleive me , cari , the way you vlog , it creates a calmness that no one else in this world can create. My wish for travelling to South korea is increasing day by day. Love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳. Hope I am able to visit the country soon!

🥺 thank you so much!!!

[@joecamel3891]

I love the new haircut! haven't had my hair done or cut in 2 years now. and I actually miss sitting in the salon chair and have someone do their magic on my hair. 🥰 I guess this is the sign!!

I don't know but the "BECAUSE YOU THREW ME AWAY " in the background is so funny to me cause you're doing calm random things while there's an angsty narrative being sung in the background lmaooo. Anyway UR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING WITH THAT CUTT AND BLOW DRY. Looking abs fabulous ❤️❤️

[@caricakes]

LOL always angsty!!!! and than youuuu!

I am moving in February to Korea, through EPIK do nit sure which area yet. So i love looking at all your travel vlogs around korea to get to know it better before i move

The cafe's are so aesthetic 🥰 I love rainy days (when I'm not walking around hehe). Lovely vlog! Hello from a filipino viewer 🇵🇭

[@CookieMonster32102]

When i saw the radiometer(?) thing in the shop it reminded me of Howl's room in howl's moving castle. And i was really excited that you bought it in the end! it looks so cool and magical :)

Omg yes that’s exactly what it reminds me of!!!!!

Those giant Joro spiders started appearing around the southeastern United States a couple years ago and they only appear in the Fall. They are big but they seem to only stay outside and are pretty chill, their giant webs are crazy!

[@alearguero]

Hey Cari! I’m from Mexico City and I was catching up with your video and let me tell you that I totally understand your feelings towards the fire alarm situation. In my city we are prone to earthquakes so we have to do several simulations to know how to act in a real situation and most of the people doesn’t take this seriously and I get really angry because people have died because of not acting correctly during the event. 😕 Just letting you know that you’re not the only one in this! 🤝

[@markhernden9472]

This video was more entertaining than about 90% of what's on TV these days.

[@caricakes]

😂😂😂

[@CarliBABE16]

I literally just watched The Village yesterday! I forgot what a great movie it is, like that plot twist ending 👀 also seeing a gutted myeondong is so sad. My mom sent me a video of us shopping there from when she visited in 2019 and it’s unrecognizable. I hope that it’s able to come back eventually.

[@caricakes]

yesss!! and yeah its so sad :( i thought it was bad in 2020 but seeing it now its so upsetting, i really hope it recovers soon and everyone who worked there is okay. and stay warm out there today!!!

[@Love-tq7tc]

My complex caught fire on Tuesday! I was in th bathroom when the fire alarm went off. I just stood there for a second like 👁️👄👁️ I don't know why I'm mentioning this so casually but yeah. Thank you for another amazing video!

[@caricakes]

omg hope everything was ok!!!

[@susanmaher3908]

That looks like the area near the Westin Chosun, where I’ve stayed twice on business trips. All the greenery and plants go along with the sudden interest in cacti and succulents worldwide. That’s my husband’s hobby business now (he has a literary and horticulture training)-he’s part of the “plant community” in Minnesota and sells a lot of beautiful plants. He works in a coop for creatives.

I guess because female Ginko trees make fruits. They fell down, stink and are very allergic(itchy). Even though they are delicious, maybe people decided to cut the branches for convenience. Thank you for filming all beautiful places of my home city. I miss them so much.

Helloooo, finding your blog very cute, delicate and relaxing,!!! As an Italian girl, that her fav pastry is "cannoncini", I want to explain you the difference between them and the "cannoli". Cannoncino is made of puff pastry, twisted in a cornucopia shape and filled with vanilla pastry cream, (or chocolate cream); "cannolo", (Typical from the south Italy- Sicily), are made of a special thin fried waffle, filled with ricotta cream cheese , with dried candy fruit (orange, cedar...), and chocolate chips. They are both fantastic....which are your fav?

Your new haircut is giving me Parent Trap vibes!

OMG I hate when they dead head trees!! When I was in Seogwipo, I lived on a street that was lush and full with beautiful trees. When I got home from work on day, they had cut almost all of the branches off! I seriously cried.

The Village was not well liked when it came out because it was so "quiet" compared to Shyamalan's previously successful films. But I loved it. I hope you did, too. It has an interesting vibe. I secretly would love to experience living in a tight community like that.

All i need in this life is CAT CAT CAT candle in both black and ivory and a churro scone. The large spider just makes me think of the time I thought it was a good idea to do a photoshoot in a wooded area here in SE texas and it was a maze of those big orbweaver spiders and their webs. Avoiding them was fun (terrifying).

you totally should do more movie/tv show commentary, I really enjoyed your "crash landing on you" one!

[@luluamu]

THAT SPIDER..!!! In a park in Paju, I stayed on the path, and I almost walked into the same type of spider. The only reason I didn't is because my friend said "Ay!" (or something), trying to warn me. My reflexes was thankfully fast enough to just duck as fast as I could without her even telling me what it was. I think it helped that we saw a humongous one 30 min earlier BESIDE the path. Oh, and I really like that you wrote the dates for the vlog, it kinda helps me immerse in the feeling of being there. Also, it is nice to get a reference if travelling there at the same dates a later year.

[@caricakes]

OMG your guardian angel was putting in WORK that day, i have goosebumps just thinking about it ahhhhh

[@velyvely6479]

man it also makes me so mad when people don't go out when the alarms go off! i lived in a huge apartment building in Sydney for a while (I'm from London) that's packed with wayyy to many people per apartment and people didn't come out! i ran out the shower in my dressing gown!! i few months before i moved to Sydney there was that huge and very famous fire in London that so many lost their lives to, people need to take these things seriously!! i think so many just cant imagine or haven't seen serious situations to realise that you need to act in moments like that and not chance it! ok rant over lol love the hair! and thanks for showing the gallery! :)
