taking myself on a date in seoul | museum hopping, snow at the palace ☕ my life in korea vlog

[@mel_sj]

I just love South Korea .. so many unlimited galleries to go to. As a art enthusiast i just wanna be immersed in these quiet spaces but my country doesnt have much to offer lol

[@caricakes]

hope you're able to visit!

[@selanaann]

Thank you so much for walking in the freezing cold. I love art galleries.

[@caricakes]

Thanks for coming with me 🥺

[@eliciakristine]

Galleries + snow + Cari = 🤌 Sending love from France 🇫🇷 and the US! 🇺🇸

[@caricakes]

thank you always!!!

[@soodiary543]

Awww the video is so calm and beautiful 🧡

[@caricakes]

thank you for watching :')

[@ziggyhale]

Cariiiii 🤍 Seoul always feels like this very distinctive character in your vlogs, coming alive just to join you in telling a story of its own, far far away from all its flashiness. You writing books makes so much sense, because you're already such an incredible storyteller, why wouldn't you transcend it to just another medium. All the love, as always - stay safe. 🤍

[@rockm4d]

the mood change with the men blowing off the snow was hilarious 😂 thank you for showing us Seoul like this, it was lovely! hope you have a great week finishing that video project you mentioned and also just enjoying stuff in general

[@caricakes]

thank you so much! hope you have a great week too :)

[@maybeceejay]

That close up of the snowflakes was amazing! I had no idea they looked like that either! How magical 💓

[@markhernden9472]

Every snowflake is an intricate pattern and no two are alike. Amazing but true.

[@caricakes]

right!!?

[@hk-tw6pm]

Among your gorgeous videos, this one is by far my favorite of all!!! The atmosphere, music, scenery, everything is just so calming and beautiful!

[@krispy777]

As a Canadian, seeing large snowflakes, gracefully falling, never gets old. It’s like living in a slow motion snow globe. Thank you for taking us to galleries again, Cari. Have a wonderful day.

[@Driskel11]

Such a tranquil and relaxing date with Cari ^^ Never feel guilty for doing absolutly nothing. Be free to do what you want. Even if its nothing.

[@caricakes]

thank you always!

[@RaymondwLin]

Hello Cari! Thanks for taking us on another trip round Korea (Seoul), it really brings me joy watching your videos, especially during these travel restrictions. Thank you and love you!

[@caricakes]

thank YOU always!

[@irenek6295]

앗! 반가워라. 저도 예전에 눈 많이 내리는 날 경복궁을 보고 나와서 저기서 칼국수 먹었어요. 너무 추운 날이었는데 따뜻한 차도 주시고 몸을 녹일 수 있어서 좋았어요

[@sandyhojunglee]

Omg I paused to read some of the exhibition description and I’m already hooked! That sounds so interesting to have art meet societal stressors, very unique but also relatable.

[@caricakes]

right?! so thankful they had info in english for me :')

[@MissEricaCourt12]

What a calm and inspiring day. It seems like Seoul has so much to offer when it comes to art. Thanks for bringing us along. Much love from the North of Germany where there‘s no snow unfortunately but it‘s ridiculously stormy.

[@caricakes]

they definitely have an amazing art scene here!

[@FalafelSam]

Snow is still one of my favourite types of weather to just walk around in and watch. It's great if you're not in a rush to get anywhere. I definitely have to get my hands on a leaf blower to try out on snow sometime like those guys in front of the gallery lol Watch your step out there on the snow covered streets !

[@caricakes]

definitely nice when you have nowhere to be hahahha

[@javiruizv770]

The snowww😻 so pretty! And that coffee place looks amazing too🙌🏼 cant wait for that new video✨

thank youuuuuu!

[@Lillyjoy]

Haha the calm music and then change to dramatic music with the snow blowing everywhere was funny. I have never seen people use leaf blowers for snow, that is a smart idea.

[@valeriageorgieva13]

Hey Cari! I want to thank you, first of all, for all the hard work, dedication and love you put into every video. I am not someone who usually enjoys vlog content, as I tend to get easily bored and distracted, but your filming and the way you structure and plan out your journeys, is truly a joy to watch. I love how you show us a different side of Korea every time, rather than the usual coffe culture and shopping vlogs that everyone else does. I watch your videos with much interest and great anticipation to learn something new and see all the breathtaking views this beautiful country has to offer. I've been wondering - how do you find out about all the places and events you go to? Is it posts on ig from accounts you follow or do you keep track of websites that offer different events in Korea? You seem in tune with a lot of new places opening up and happenings around you. Would be awesome if you share your main resources, I'm very curious! Keep up the good work and don't forget to take time to heal when needed. Lots of love and warm hugs from your biggest fan from a very snowy Bulgaria!

[@012Luci]

It's been over two years at this point and STILL this is my favorite thing to wake up to and eat my breakfast with

and you're still my favorite thing!!!!!

[@thenanlife1141]

Fantastic close ups of the snow flakes Cari ... wonderful photography xxx

[@dead_poet143]

This was such a lovely video. I almost felt like I was walking through those galleries myself, so atmospheric! I have been severely lacking motivation to write, this vlog really helped with that, so thank you! Sending love! 💙

[@caricakes]

im struggling to write right now too so wishing us both luck!!!

[@jnnyw2717]

As always such a lovely vlog! The music, the shots, the snow - so perfect❄️ I am definitely going to check these galleries out this week. Thank you for always taking us with you and giving your recommendations of places to visit in Seoul!

[@CharviMathur]

Honestly, I was watching this video, it made me miss art galleries, I paused midway, went to an art gallery, made 4 new friends there, came back, and now finishing it 🌻💗

[@caricakes]

wahhhhhhhh!!!!

[@anyaguinzbourg8609]

I have nothing special to comment, so I’d just like to say your videos always make my day, and your music choices are perfect!! Exquisite music taste 👌

[@caricakes]

💓💓💓

[@Liezzzs]

hi i study built environment so wanted to make a quick note on the sidewalks. Sidewalks made of tiles and brick prevent water flooding cause it can drain to the soil through the gaps, also it's easier to repair compared to concrete. There's also an aesthetic side to it but it's mainly about water drainage. In the Netherlands we also have mostly tiled sidewalks like the ones in Korea. :)

[@nuradibahnasuhah7403]

good morning Cari!! always happy to be waking up to your vlogs, they really do make my sunday mornings 🤍 thank you as always, & stay safe 🧡

[@caricakes]

hope you have a wonderful day!

[@oliviabarnes1837]

Hi Cari! I’ve watched you for a pretty long while especially because you’ve always been able to capture the wonder and beauty about being curious in the world. I’m in isolation at the moment and feeling pretty sad, so I just wanted to let you know that you and this vlog has made me feel warm and soft and okay. Thank you for everything ❤️

[@caricakes]

thank you so much! hope you're able to keep finding little pockets of happiness in iso - im sure you've tried it all but dancing to old music helps, or turning your room into a noraebang/karaoke all night hahah wishing you well!!!

[@wgima3857]

What a wonderful video, Cari!....the places you visited, your music choices, your editing....lovely.

[@georgianasstudio]

OMG you saw Louise Bourgeois’ work in person! I love her.

[@caricakes]

i took so many pictures to try to recreate at home! sooooo detailed!

[@georgianasstudio]

@@caricakes I can’t wait to visit South Korea for the exhibitions. Tasmania is beautiful but we just don’t get the kind of exhibitions I crave seeing like what you have access to.

[@georgianasstudio]

@@caricakes also, have you seen Eva Hesse’s work? If not you must! Also, there’s an excellent book on her you would find fascinating.

[@L0ckE08]

This was such a lovely video! I feel like this is one of the reasons why Koreans are knowledgeable when it comes to arts, there are so many art galleries in the city that offers a wide variety of art forms. If I go back to Korea again, I would def go to an art gallery or an art store. Got into painting first few months when pandemic hit. :) And, living in a city where we have 2nd or 3rd winter, we walk like a penguin and make sure you don't put your hands in your pocket to keep your balance. See you next week! 💖

[@caricakes]

and they're free!!! and omg yes i learned the no pocket trick quickly hahaha thank you so much!

[@monica_.]

I was so sad today and this is a welcome respite. Thank you Cari. Wishing you all the good things.❤️

[@caricakes]

hope everything feels a little better tomorrow!!

[@DaraCartujano]

Great way to end the day: watching Cari’s vlogs! Thank you for bringing us to these dates with you 🤍

[@caricakes]

thanks for coming along :')

[@joanahenriques8863]

That museum-hopping-in-the-snow day with the warm food was SO incredibly cozy... to the point that it made me miss the snow... And after living in the north of Sweden where we had insane amounts of snow, my relationship with it isn't always the best... So you made the near-impossible happen! Also, forgive me for going on a sappy tangent, I'm for some reason feeling incredibly emotional today (could it be the second jab I got yesterday, I wonder?) but I just wanted to say a big thank you for sharing your journey and your thoughts about productivity. For actively putting this out there... I find this SO important and meaningful, especially in today's climate. In a world where we demand so much of ourselves, sometimes with very little kindness, it's very needed to take a step back and rethink our way of life. What you're doing matters so much Cari, thank you

[@caricakes]

thank you always :''') luckily this is only my 7th real winter so it still feels fresh to me heheh and thank you for your kind words :') hope the second dose treats you well and cant wait to share some of my thoughts in a future vid!

[@FogCityASMR]

this was such a lovely vlog! Very calming and you are such a joy! thanks for taking us along!💕

This was so fun to watch 😍 wish we had some snow here as well🥺

[@davidherd1855]

Hi Cari, good to see you in the snow. Thank you for taking us with you into the gallery. Mind you, i'm happy to accompany you anywhere, you always cheer me up. No snow here but a strong wind today, quite a few trees have fallen. Take good care till next time. 😄😄😄😄😄X X X X X

In Daegu there has been no snow this winter. So good to see beautiful white view in Seoul!

Seoul is seriously a dream for artists. So many free galleries with a huge variety of artists and art. I was just once in Seoul in 2014 for one week but busy exploring everything else but art *sigh* next time when I will go, I will just hop into galleries, sit in cafes, eat all the good food and enjoy myself. LOL Seriously you should make a Seoul guide for people who love cafes and galleries. I would definitely buy it. haha

come back ASAP!

Watching this on a very snowy day here where I've decided to stay inside. We're expecting about 12 in/30.5 cm of snow between today and tomorrow. I really loved the music composition for this video, everything fit so perfectly, and the bit for the "war zone" where they were clearing snow was very funny. All of the galleries you visited looked fantastic and worth the trip. Those types of cultural resources are a huge perk to living in a large city, and I want to thank you for bringing all of us along on your tour of them in Seoul!

[@lajimolalaaa]

Fun fact about Leiter, he sometimes used burned or expired film, because he loved to be surprised by the odd shift of colors. Thanks for taking us with you Cari 🧡!! It was a much needed escape from finals😪. Closing with a little quote from Leiter: "I simply looked at the world, not really prepared for anything"

[@caricakes]

Thank you for this!! I loved the fact that in the 50s, most photographers still shot in black and white because they thought color film was distorting reality but leiter said screw it and still used color so he's one of the few street photographers of the time that gave us color photos!!

[@lajimolalaaa]

@@caricakes Exactly!! And many of his coworkers criticized him for that...There is a sweet little documentary about him, titled "In No Great Hurry" (he co-produced it), I think you may enjoy.
