I will never forget Martina's promise to herself that she will find joy in any life situation. It is so inspiring, she is true to her word. That was over 7 years ago.

[@u140550]

Also as a Asian im really happy that found you long ago, because no offense; but you’re one of the westerns that respect our different cultural foods. It is great for you featuring japan, and Korean food!!!

[@KingKogi]

I try my very best to learn, understand, and respect the food culture wherever I go, as I think food is the window into the soul of a culture. Food teaches you about the history of a nation, family life, farming life, and so much more. I'm glad I've come across as respectful for all these years because I really do respect food and these cultures! 🙇‍♀

[@u140550]

@@KingKogi hopefully in the future maybe some other Asian cultures like the Philippines would be so great!! Thank you for your response/reply!!! I was kinda not expecting it, but it warms my heart. I rarely say what I say, and it’s nice to find one of many that cares to be respectful; as I’ve seen a bit too many that aren’t. Two that comes to mind is a “chef” named Jamie Oliver who just makes me mad teaching westerners how to make our food, and literally mess it up or Jake Paul going in a Japanese area that you’re not supposed to go to!! If I could see you, I’d literally give you a honorary Asian card; because you try different things that some wouldn’t try at least once… and are respectful. Anywho I’m on a tad of a tangent, but you get what I mean!!! 🙏😊

[@delphinedelmar3853]

I discovered the EatYourKimchi channel around 2009-2010 and I even emailed you asking about options for studying in Korea (and got a reply back!) I can't believe I was still in school then, and I'm 30 this year. I feel so nostalgic seeing this kind of content, it's like a trip back in time, and we're just the viewers, i can't imagine how exciting and nostalgic it is for you.

[@reiga9589]

Hi Martina! I've been watching you since 2008. Fun fact, you were actually the reason I wanted to get into teaching abroad. It was and is so nice that someone with the same conditions as me could travel and work. Sadly, although I did get my qualifications to teach, I haven't been able to do it yet because of my health hasn't allowed for it. Hopefully one day I can and if I can't, that's okay. It's important to have lots of little dreams rather than only having one big one and to be kind to yourself if there's any you can't achieve. What's important is that you stay hopeful and you celebrate what you can do and have done! It's so good to see you visiting Korea again, hopefully the fond memories outweigh the bad. Always so proud of you and inspired by you. ❤

[@fixxundfertig]

YAY! I can't wait to try out some of these places (when we get back to Seoul). Only been once and we didn't explore the foodie side too much. Massive regret. So happy to see you posting again.

[@kirstystevenson1450]

I first visited Korea on my own in 2012 when I turned 18, and your videos helped the trip be less scary. I visited again in 2018, but that time I went with my husband and our two young children. My husband is obsessed with Korean food now! I have Marfan’s and EDS, and always felt some resonance with your struggles. I’m grateful for all the effort you put into your videos/posts. And it’s wonderful to see you thriving. 😊

I loved living in Japan...but after awhile I was ready to come home..do you ever get lonely...I also got to visit Korea while living in Japan...

[@KingKogi]

For sure. And it’s definitely a bummer as your friends move away, or back home. I’m not feeling too lonely in Japan at the moment as I have made a new circle of friends (as my others moved away), but I do miss hanging out with my family in Canada. I’m getting worried with my mom and living alone (she’s turning 80). I think I’ll move back to Canada at some point soonish to spend time with her (and my cat) and reconnect with my friend in Toronto.

[@chibip6]

Wow this video is so homey and nostalgic.

[@etherdog]

I never commented when you lived in Korea, but there were some real nostalgic vibes here, Martina! I think in about 3 years Korea will be a destination like Japan is now--not that Japan will decline, just that there will be increased interest in the region.

[@LittleLostBunny]

So can’t help but wonder- which do you prefer? Korean style or Japanese style chopsticks? 🥢 are the ones in this video actually metal? Don’t they get searingly hot? I’m sure the difference is subtle. The only time I have tried Korean style I couldn’t do it, despite being super proficient with Japanese style ones. Again, thank you for a lovely video! Always makes my day!

[@KingKogi]

It depends on the situation! I have Korean chopsticks and spoons that I use in Japan for when I cook Korean food, as they hold up to the scalding boiling hot food much better, but they are much tougher to use as they are slippery. I think Japanese chopstick can be quite precise and pointed, but they might be stained by the kimchi colour and smell. So Korean chopsticks make sense to use with the intensity of Korean food, but I do wish they had different cute decorations!

[@LittleLostBunny]

@@KingKogi I didn’t even think about the lack of cute decorations!! Gah! That’s kind of a deal breaker for me 😂 Makes sense to have specific ones for specific foods.

[@anna8282]

​@@KingKogiWoot woot our Korean chopsticks have cute decorations! We have ones with some kind of flowers and our favorite ones have leaves. Of course they are not as colorful etc as Japanese chopsticks can be, they are still mostly plain metal, but they can still have a little bit of cute and pretty ^___^ I love the "pointiness" of Japanese chopsticks but wood is not a very good material for utensils, it warps and stains and is not that hygienic. Metal reigns supreme. 💪😎 And the Korean chopsticks + spoon combo is the best! (And it's a "normal" spoon, I don't like the Chinese style short clunky impractical thing)

[@NinjaDimes]

@@anna8282 Wood chopsticks are hygienic depending on the wood they are made out of. A lot of wood varieties are antimicrobial. Japanese chopsticks are usually made of bamboo and bamboo is pretty hygienic, its naturally germ repellent and is especially good for cutting boards. Steel chopsticks are good too, obviously easier to clean but it's a myth that wood utensils are bad or unhygienic. Obviously it depends on the type of wood used but it can actually be more hygienic than plastic because of the porosity of certain plastics. I use all bamboo cutting boards and have never gotten sick in 15 years of cooking.

[@ZuziFox]

All my favourite foods T.T . Seriously kalbi mandu is something i am trying to find a recipe for, as you said its literally the best mandu you can get.

This video took me wayyyyyyyyyyy back. Last time I was in Korea, it was 2012. I was watching you guys bcs you made Korea look sooo magical. I didn't have that good of an experience in the country anytime I was there, bcs of different things (ex-boyfriend drama, not speaking the language enough, being in the countryside more than Seoul, etc.). But the food....OMG. I miss it sooo much! I was in NYC a couple of years ago and went to Koreatown just so I can eat authentic Korean food. But they didn't refill the banchan and rice and I was so pissed! :D But at least I could eat the food.

amazing as always martina!!

[@KingKogi]

it is a lot more work for us to travel, what with us packing meds/wraps/mobility aids/pillows/ice packs and so on, but what I realized over time is that I don't need to push myself and get ill to have a good vacation or travel experience. We can enjoy travel as long as we accept our OWN pace. When I travel now, if I'm tired from the airplane trip, I no longer do the, "must be up early" to make "the most of my day". Instead I check my body and decide what I can do that day. It makes for a much more pleasant trip, and I no longer do any "pushing" myself. If all I can do is take a stroll outside the hotel and have a coffee or a simple meal, what a delight! I hope you'll give it a go one day, maybe start with a small local trip to a local town or city for two days!

Omg not cutting naengmyeon is such a choking hazard! I love mul naengmyeon but I always struggle to eat it like a civilized being because my throat tries to grab all the long noodles and steal them before I can chew.

Such a comfy video. I loved seeing you so happy and eating all your food that you missed. Wish I could eat some of them yum! That last chicken dish look delicious.

I really enjoyed this video but it felt rushed. It felt more like a commercial for Korean food. If I had not already known what each food item was then I would have felt a bit cheated I didn't get to enjoy each one more with you. I wonder if you have any additional footage or out takes that you would be willing to share. It would be nice to see you sit down and enjoy a meal and just talk to us.......

Wonderful. Looking forward to the Bucheon(?) vid.

Why can't adults also have cute adult sized appliances? I would be obsessed with minimalist small cute animal designs all over my house Like a Bathtub with cat ears that control the water and a tail curling up at the end that doubles as a neck rest

AMERICANO joa joa joa Will you release this good quest as a thatch guide? We went past the EYK studio back when, and I'm surprised that the sign is still up. Nostalgic.
