I have my pair of vessi. I keep saying to my self I will post it on instagram and tag you but I forget.😬😆😆😆 I will try to remember this week.
Ohhh, you should definitely do it! Curious to see which style you went with! 👟
Great video! Thank you for being yourselves and comforting us
Not shipping to Germany 😭😭😭
@@thebrommuters6220 Es gibt vessideutschland, weiß aber nicht, ob die legitim sind und vessi antwortet darauf nicht.
You guys, I’m so glad, that Beemo keeps fighting, he’s a warrior 💪🏻 I wish it would only get better from now on…🍀
Best of luck 🤍
We really hope so too ❤️❤️
I love how you guys answering the questions in different places & vibes. Such an effort. Thank you guys for your extra effort. I really enjoy it😊
Hope the best for beemo❤
We wanted to mix things up rather than just sitting in the same location at home-glad you liked it ☺️
Most important question, was that chocolate cake as good as it looked?
YES, omg.
I am so glad and happy to hear the news about Beemo, I cried thinking he'll leave maybe soon and didn't want to ask to not stir up any negative thoughts.
But I am glad ☺️🍀
Look at Kyuho on 20:57, how adorable and lovingly he's looking at Sarah. 🥰
What am I saying, later on the both of them are 🥰🥰🥰 at each other. aaawwwwwwwwww
🥰🥰
Im so happy for Beemo.
I cried so much when I heard the C news in December.
Please Beemo be happy and more healthy. ❤❤❤❤❤
Same! That little kitty has worked himself into hearts around the world!
Great news about Beemo. My most recent cat was diagnosed with a tumour in her stomach which was supposedly incurable. It disappeared and she happily lasted several more years. Miracles can happen and hopefully he'll continue to enjoy life for some time yet. 🐈 Many thanks as always - looking forward to my return trip to SK in less than 2 weeks. 🇰🇷😊
I admire the authenticity and simplicity. Glad I followed your channel. At first, it was just about being a cat parent too and looking after stray cats that got me here. But now I’m learning so much more. Great to know you wanted to visit the Philippines, Sarah. Hope you could visit soon and perhaps have a fan meet. 😀 I will definitely come. 😊
Hi guys, so happy to hear about your little cutie Beemo, I hope he’s around for a long time xx
Thank you ❤
I currently work in a kindergarten in a very remote area of Korea. We have just started our new school year, and surprisingly, we have a lot of kids. They opened two extra classes due to the demand, and there’s even a waiting list. I’m always surprised by the news, but when I see how many kids we have starting from age 4, I get kind of confused.
Same in my area! We have so many children here, had to build more public schools and classes due to complaints from parents. New big cities near Seoul(Hanam, Gimpo, Dongtan, Yeongjong etc.)are in the same situation).
Is it possible for a non-native English speaker to find a school job there?
@@luminouslink777Maybe in private foreign language schools yes, but not in public schools in general.
This is so interesting! There have been so many schools closing down these days across the country. Maybe they ended up closing other schools in other areas, and the students from the closed schools ended up at the school you currently teach at? These days they’re having to combine schools like this.
I was literally crying (in happiness) about the news about Beemo might not have the cancer and that his tumor is shrinking! ❤ God knows how I am praying for a miracle for Beemo and I’d like to believe that my prayers were heard! ❤❤❤ I still am praying for a complete healing (I hope I got the right term) for Beemo and may he live more loving years with you Kyuho and Sarah! 😍
I love you guys and I can’t wait for you to come visit the Philippines! ❤😍
I’m so happy it’s not cancer!, and that it’s shrinking! We love Beemo
Thank you 🥹
I almost started to cry when you told us about Beemo. I'm so glad to hear that he keeps fighting 🥺❤
Another lovely video to begin my Sunday. I appreciate the calm, chill vibe of your channel. You both are so thoughtful and caring. Thanks for sharing.
I ike your Q & A videos and I enjoyed you answering them in different places. I'm also very glad that Beemo doesn't have cancer...I know he has other health struggles but, with your love and care he is doing well and I hope will continue to get even better!❤
I'm half of a DINK couple and we were fairly firm with our families about it without being rude and no one really bugs us about it anymore. I kept waiting to want to have kids and it never happened. I love my nephew so much and I'm going home for the birth of my niece in a month and so excited! I am definitely meant to be a cool aunt, not a mom. I'm so happy to hear that Beemo's tumor is benign--fingers crossed that it continues to shrink! So much love to you three!
That’s great to hear no one bugs you about it anymore! Kyuho feels the exact same way about his niece and nephew-he’s ’uncle Kyu, the cool uncle’. He loves them to pieces, runs around and plays with them when he visits-then immediately passes out from exhaustion when he gets home 😂 It’s definitely not something either of us could handle 24/7, but being the cool aunt and uncle and going back to our quiet apartment ar the end of the day is perfect for us.
Wow, that's such remarkable news about Beemo. May the force be with him for a long time!!!
I love this video format!!! Vlog/Q&A ❤❤❤
Love this style of q&a vid!! 😃
Glad you like it! 😊
Me too! 👍☺️
Glad to hear Beemo is feeling better. I wondered how he was doing since it looked so bad for him in December and we were still seeing him in videos.
I am so happy that Beemo is getting better, have a great week
Hi Guys! Thank you for the video and great news on Bemo! We are visiting Seoul soon :) with family
So happy to hear about Beemo, love your videos! 🇨🇦🥳💕
Love the talk! Love the sincere, honest, and personal sharing❣️
Always looking forward to watching your videos, they are so enjoyable and feel homey. Thank you for sharing ☺
Your videos always give me a sense of peace and calm.
I don't always comment, but always leave a like. 😊
Great news about Bemo!! And thanks for sharing the Q and A. I like these video formats.
SO HAPPY for Beemo
Love the Q&A throughout the video. It makes it fun to watch. Thank you. Love to see more.
Loved today’s video. Thank you guy’s. Sending my love you and beemo from Mexico. Hopefully one day I can go to Korea and meet with you.
Thank you for a wonderful video as always! This was a fun way to do a Q&A that I'm sure took a lot of work to produce. I miss Korea and love your vision of it that you share here; it's so beautiful even in winter.
Also so happy to hear to Beemo is doing well! As a cat parent I cried so hard when you shared his recent health scare. Still sending positive thoughts for him.
Have a great week!
Oh, I'm so glad to hear Beemo is doing better. Praying that growth will continue to shrink.💜
Thanks for a very interesting Q&A. It was a fun idea to do it in all kinds of different locations. I'm glad to hear that Beemo is doing a little better...I hope it continues!
Ohh I am very happy and felt relieved about Beemo🙏🙏 , sorry I kept commenting on the process coz I am just excited.
This is a really nice and dynamic way to do a QA !
I’m really glad the Beemo’s growth is not cancer 🙌🏽
So happy to hear about Beemo❤️
Ah the shot where you all were across the river was really nice! 😊
Kyuho’s hard work 😂
@@2hearts1seoul The dedication ❤ we love it 🤣🤣🤣
I 100 percent totally agree with all of your answers and are all valid. To each his own they say. I support you guys ❤
Highly agree on the tech part. We only use an action cam ( cause we would risk falling on our faces while cycling 😂) and our phones and that's completely fine for the stuff we wanna create
Omg I love your username 😅
Glad to hear Beemo is cautiously stable at the moment. Hope all continues well for the foreseeable future. As always, I enjoyed the video.
Really happy and amazed at Beemos condition! I’m very glad for you all!
So happy to hear that Beemo is doing bit better. ❤
Love your earrings collaboration with Ana Luisa! Simple elegant and classic. I wear them most days to work.
I really love how film and edit this video! 🤍 Hope Beemo only gets better and better, he always makes me smile 😊🐈⬛
Thank you! 🥹❤️
I like how down to earth you guys are, a lot of youtubers as soon they get brand deals and start growing they start buying brand things, cars showing off the money they have. It's better to be smart about your money and of course you can splurge on more things but use your money wisely and continue living a normal life because as soon you start spending too much your cost of life goes up and if your channel not continuesly doing well you can't sustain the life sfyle.. you guys are smart and i like your way of simple living.❤Fan from Aruba
Love this question and answer vlog posting. And what wonderful news that Beemo has more time to share with you both! You both make the most of your time- low birth rate is fine if quality of life isn't also diminishing. My cousin is a world traveler and a genuine polyglot, and she doesn't have children. She is also making the most of her life.
I had said a prayer for Beemo when you last told us about his medical condition. I am pleasantly surprised that the growth shrank! ❤ I’m so thrilled he doing well. We love Beemo so much.💕 He’s definitely a tough little guy. 😊
So happy Beemo's doing better. Fingers crossed the growth continues to shrink. Thank you for this lovely cosy vlog, loads of interesting questions and I'd be interested in a docu-vlog about Korea's birth rate too!
I love this style of video! Watching you try new delicious food & answering a few questions in different locations. As for apartments, I love yours! It's so cozy.
So glad to hear Beemo is doing better. 😊❤
30대로서 너무너무 공감되고 힐링되네요! 늘 잘 시청하고 있습니다 ㅎㅎ
I really like this type of vlog Q&A style. A month by the sea in Europe with no responsibilities does sound super nice 🏖 I ordered myself a Moft phone stand after seeing it in one of your videos and love it btw
I am SO glad that your Beemo boy is doing better.❤
love the video and your thoughts on everything
It’s so reassuring to hear Korea is embracing “honja” culture, I’m visiting for the first time next month as a solo female traveler. I’m a big introvert and I love going out to eat by myself so I love to hear I’m not gonna be judged about it in Korea lol. I think only bbq and fried chicken are the problems in terms of eating solo 🤔 By the way, that chocolate cake looked absolutely DIVINE ❤ That café is definitely in my Naver maps list!
Yes! So many things you can enjoy alone here, and no one will even bat an eye 😊
some restaurants may not allow solo diners so don't be surprised!
I really enjoyed the format of this vlog. You guys really incorporated the questions into the video really well!
Thank you so much! ☺️
Hello from CA! I love 💗 watching & enjoy all of your videos especially with Sharon ( I’m her fan since the 80’s, did I just said my age). A big thank you to both of you I can virtually see Seoul. Hope to visit S Korea again & again.
I think being bored is relative. It's what you make of your time. So if you choose to be bored, ok then, that's on you. But you don't have to be bored. Kiddo keeps me busy, but I have hobbies outside of that that sometimes I get to do when I don't have parenting duties lol.
When we went to Hawaii a few years ago, we wanted to swim with manta rays. That was a tour you could do. We totally wanted to do that, but because wifey was preggo, it probably wasn't a good idea. Just an excuse to go back and do it in the future when the kiddo gets older lol. But just reminded me that it's kinda similar to your whale shark experience you'd like to try.
Totally agree! Everyone is so different :)
And ohhh my gosh, swimming with manta rays has just been added to my list after whale sharks 😳
Nice to hear better news for Bemo❤
Love the style of this video,out and about and back at home.
Old(er) um,sorta mature single woman here.Glad it is getting abit better there,doing things alone.Sure,i have friends,but with my job i have weird days off,not everyone can go,when i want too.
Still get silly comments about being child free.
Never wanted them.Love kids,just not to raise into healthy functioning adults.
Thanks so much for sharing!❤
I really want to hear Sarah speak Korean during a video. She mentioned she can she just doesn't feel comfortable. You go Beemo.
My comfort vloggers ❤ sending love from the Philippines
🥰
You guys love your pastries and cafes. You seem to find the cutest bakeries, cafes, quaint areas of Seoul. You make me, and I’m sure countless others, want to visit. You guys look nice in whatever branded or off brand items that you wear. 😊
Wow, thank you so much 🥹❤️
I love the conversations your channel opens up. Single person families are growing in the western world. I remember reading something about how in Scandinavia residential buildings were being built with single family units because it was the fastest growing demographic. I know these have been in Korea and Japan for a while, but in the last year there was a ramen shop opened in downtown Toronto that had single person booths.
I really like the style of this video. The questions were interesting too. I like going out to eat and watch movies alone, I’ve done it since my early twenties and people would look at me strangely then, not so much now. If my boyfriend is not feeling something I want to do one day or I just want me time, I don’t have to wait for someone else.
The footage is this video is absolutely beautiful
Thank you so much 🥹
Y’all are my favorite couple. Always looking forward to new vlog❤ and yes! You will love the Philippines😊
Thank youuu 🥹
Thank you for the tips I started with my own RUclips channel last end of December and just also using my iPhone ❤ your channel 😊
Great video!!! Greetings from Boston!!
I think it would be an interesting topic. I saw a foreign documentary on Japan's low birth rate. It's sad, but it's interesting that we can learn from it.
I really gel with a lot of your thoughts and opinions. Thanks for these glimpses and insights into your lives! My hubby and I have kiddos but my brother and SIL don't have kids. My Korean parents are really understanding and gives them no pressure. They are Americanised though because they've moved to the US in the 80s.
Yes Vessi is the best! I have a pair same as Kyuho's it is so much better than Nike. It protects from the rain we get alot of rain here in Malaysia and my feet is still dry. Excellent video quality. You can always rely on iPhones. They are good. I think Koreans dress very well and always look good. Regardless of brand. Good news for Beemo. He is so loved by you guys.
I remember seeing you guys visiting kyuho’s sister & her apartment is absolutely gorgeous with a gorgeous view ! That is the kind of apartment I saw you guys living in !
Her apartment is super nice! But the area isn’t our jam 😅 It’s over an hour out of Seoul, and there’s honestly not much for us to do out there when it comes to our interests. Public transport isn’t great, and you have to travel to the nearest subway station by car. An apartment like that in Seoul would likely be around $1.5m+ USD.
Hi guys.. Just came home recently frm my first intl trip; Singaporeee 🥺 was late watching your Sunday vlogs then after about 4 yrs of watching u on time.. Haha.. Come to Philipppinessss! Summer time is felt now here, I think the snorkling thing is somewhere in Cebu?.. My bday is approaching & gonna celeb it hoping in Seoul very sooon by that time, summer here & late of spring there hopefully, have a nice week ahead for all of us❤
That cake looked delicious! I really like how you guys express your points of view.
On the 20 to 30's question i think I'm beeing more self concious about my age but my guess is that it is cause i just turned 29 a few days ago. I was never a party/drink person so I wonder what other differences do you see.
Also about studying abroad I really agree with Sarah, it has been one of the best experiences of my life (exchange student in Daegu on 2016) i still think about those memories as if it happened last year but almost 8 years have passed by.
Anyway hope you guys have a great week!! 😊
When I lived in Korea (2015-2020), going and doing things alone beyond the gym or whatnot was unheard of, and honestly I missed out on doing a lot of things because I was too scared to do them alone because I never saw anyone except maybe older men doing things alone, and once I went to a small diner by myself for a quick dinner and the ajumma's that worked there were either weirded out or felt sorry for me. And that makes me sad. The few times I visited Japan it seemed like a more feasible thing, but not in Korea.
Oh my! You guys made me laugh with "magnesium before bed", I'm 35, I totally relate.
Hahah, we actually bought magnesium spray, so we’re going to experiment with that-so exciting 🌝
Thank you for the video. It’s great that Kyuho’s parents are understanding and supportive of your decision not to have kids. My hubs & I are also a DINK couple married for 9 years. His mom is super traditional and constantly pressuring us to have a child. Actually she doesn’t care if the child is not biologically mine, as long as it’s biologically his, I.e. she wants him to get an egg donor and surrogate to have his baby. I’m standing my ground and saying no but he might give in to the pressure. This is putting a strain on our relationship. Anyways, I love your videos and wishing you both the best! 🤗
Kyuho felt respected by his mom for his decision not to have kids, was partly because his mom is well educated (she has a PHD). Most of our parents are NOT educated, they are Stubborn and controlling, always think their values are correct and enforcing onto the younger generation, therefore they dis-respected Us.
As a result, many of my peers and myself left home, stayed single or childless and we loving our freedom of choice :)
I think a Vessi store has opened somewhere in the GTA, although I live 4+ish hours away (Windsor) and only go to Toronto once a year or every few years for just the day, but if I were to invest in a pair of Vessis shoes, I don't know if their shoes are good for someone with wide, flat feet, and feet that go inwards when they walk (I'm one of those people). I hope Beemo gets better and gets to enjoy more time playing with you guys and with his kitty toys (I wish we had a vet like yours for when our dog Snickers (he had glaucoma, heart murmur, and kidney failure) was still with us this time last year in his final days before the Rainbow Bridge).
We’d love to see the stores in person! In our opinion, Vessi’s ‘Everyday shoes’ are great for wider feet-but since neither of us have flat feet that go inward, we can’t speak on that. Maybe next time you’re in the area to can try on a few style and see if any of them work out for you 👟
Our condolences about your sweet Snickers ❤️
In Korea the family finances are interconnected from one generation to the next. There was a time you could have 7 kids and only 3 survive to adulthood, or even their 1st year. The miracle that is was respected.
I really liked this type of vlog_x_q&a, it felt like being out and about with you and talking. 😁🙌🌸🌼🍀
So glad to hear this! That’s what we were going for 😊
DINK = dual income, no kids. I was not familiar with that acronym. 😅
My thoughts on the low birth rate is that it’s just inevitable. There’s a limited amount of resources and space for people to live, not just in Korea, but worldwide. Technology will be a huge factor to being able to stabilize any severe collapse. But, for now the symptoms of high cost of living, high housing prices, etc are going to further deter the current young generation from wanting kids. It’s the sign of overpopulation pushing against the limits of land and resources.
Thank you Beemo for fighting 🏆
I like all the products you refer
waahhhh, Kyuho, your mom and me, we have the same motto, rather build your own intelligence (and character), than carrying expensive stuff. 😁🙌 high5 with your mom (in my mind)
So blessed to have such a long video 💕
I love how Beemo just doesn't respect your personal space :3 So glad to hear he's doing a lil better! ❤
8:53 personally I was never into it at all. The most luxurious thing I wanted as a teen was a pair of Jordans as with all teenage boys. Parents said no. And I’m pretty much become indifferent to any luxury related items. Food is where I splurge or the occasional soccer/hockey jersey.
I am thinking of travelling to Seoul for my Birthday in Sept! Just wondering if you do any meet&greet or coffee sessions with your viewers? 😁 Your videos always end my Sundays with a relaxing mode (to fight away with Mon blues! ) Cheers, Jas.
I find Seoul very easy to navigate alone except eating out, especially at Hansik style places. I still find going into old local places alone difficult (& a lot of time they can only do 2 portions up) which is sad coz I have very ahjusshi taste buds 😂. I'm so so happy Beemo is doing alright ❤
Great video, I really enjoyed it! This is kinda random, but I'm going to Korea at the start of April, and I'm just wondering if you guys think I'll be able to catch the cherry blossoms? 😂 Looking at the weather forecast for Seoul next week, it looks like it's getting quite warm already? I feel like the season will come early this year again and I might miss it haha
Honestly, it’s SO hard to tell these days 😳 Last year they bloomed at the end of March (1-2 weeks early), but usually it’s early April 🤞
Nice video 🌸
Sarah, I just went to Cebu Philippines and swam with the Whale Sharks. They said a high percentage of the visitors to swim are from South Korea. It’s a destination for Koreans. I highly recommend!!
Omg amazing! 🥹🐋
Honestly I had no idea you filmed on your phone! That’s a great video idea for your viewers 😊 you could film yourself vlogging with a phone. Only if you wanted to that is.
I live in Australia and I eat alone in restaurants all the time.
If I was you I'd probably rent out a hanok every few months, because they are so damn beautiful, I love the architecture.
Regarding "Alone" culture, though, I will say Korea more than any other country I've been to, has the most places where its very tough to eat alone, since they require you get at least 2 portions or so - mostly traditional korean places likes bbq places, chicken gizzard spots, etc.
Any kind of bbq places usually! But pretty much everything else is fair game.
This is a win for me, because I eat 2-3 portions for myself haha.
@@2hearts1seoul I went in 2019 and will say the amount of places you can comfortably eat alone has dramatically increased even since then. But sometimes, I just wanna eat chicken gizzards alone 😭😂
Do come to the Philippines!!! 🇵🇭
@@bloomz8375 The irony there is that Filipinos are so warm and friendly, I have a feeling I won't want to eat alone very often haha
That's good news about Beemo. He's a fighter.
I enjoyed this Video.
There is a Vessi Store here in Toronto at Yorkdale Mall. I am tempted.
We’re hoping this dude will stick around with us for a good while yet 😽
Ohhh, that’s right! So jealous that you have a physical Vessi store near you!
Longue vie petit Bimo tu es trop mignon😼❤
😽
When I’m craving sweets during my period, I call that “period food!” I’ll crave sweets, salty! Kyuho has sympathy cravings lol
Hi. Would you be able to share what settings you use on your iPhone to film. Thank you! Love you guys!!!! ♥
We always film in 1080p, 30fps :)
