    I love how korea makes their trails more easily accessible to people by adding stairs, rails, paths, etc and takes care of them! It’s such a beautiful country and they really do a lot to showcase it.🥺

    Cari, I feel so privileged to have been taken along on this hike with you! Seoul’s history is so incredibly long and rich. Being from such a young country (The US), I really appreciate how proud the South Korean people must feel about their country’s long and storied heritage. I hope that nation continues to prosper, and grow. Your videos show how much you love South Korea, and I always look forward to them. Blessings, Cari!

    For people who love to hike: You can climb [Baegak(Buk-ak) mountain - Inwang mountain - Mu-ak mountain] all three at once!
    They surround northwestern part of Seoul and the view is amazing! Mu-ak is the easiest and Baegak is the hardest to climb but all three are beginner level I would say.
    Individual mountain takes about 1~1.5 hrs to go up and down.

    Seriously, if any one could win awards for the way they style their vlogs and show us around Korea...I always find myself waiting for the next one. (I know which day it is, just always look to see if its posted yet.)

    cari cakes 님께서 마치 한국사 전공하신 것처럼 말씀하셔셔~~깜짝 놀랐습니다. 보통 한국 사람들도 역사에 조예가 깊지 않으면 잘 모르는 것들인데 설명하시는 것을 보면
    전공자 같거든요. 계단이 많아서 힘드신것 같아요. 그만큼 좋은 한국의 가을을 즐기셨을 것이라 믿습니다. 덕분에 잘 봤습니다.

And now you’re hiking too, oh my poor heart 🥹😳 Atleast I get to see it on video😂

Thank you for showing us all this. And I‘m very proud of you for conquering the endless stairs 😅 💪🏼Once again, I wish I could beam myself to Seoul to spend a day like that.

    thank you for this video! so informative. i went last Friday at a whim after watching one of your previous videos on it and thoroughly enjoyed the hike up. glad this video came after my hike cause i may not have gone after seeing the steps in this video. 😂 but there were plenty of elderly people climbing up the mountain so it’s very doable and it’s definitely a must go. hopefully i can do this again with some friends when i visit Seoul again.
    i was a bit concerned about taking video and photos with all the signage saying you can’t take any of the military buildings. but it seems like you can? i did still take a lot of photos though. 😅
    and thanks for clearing up Baegaksan vs Bugaksan. i clearly remembered it as Beagak, but when i looked at Naver maps it was Bugak. 😅

    • @caricakes
      @caricakes  2 года назад +2

      yeah they were STEEP! haha and i think (hope) those signs meant that you couldnt zoom in close on any military parts - but they're also slowly getting rid of the military section so we should be free to take photos without fear of imprisonment soon ahahhha

    Wonderful video! I was winded just watching you lol. You need to do more like this. Maybe a tour of old town, with a mix of photos of 'how it used to be' and how it looks today, that sort of thing. Since you have a 7th degree black belt in pastries and places to eat, maybe a video of the history of Korean cuisine? Just some ideas.
    I really liked this one!
