The only thing I "don't like" about your vlogs is that my "Places to visit" list gets longer every time I watch haha Which, after all, is not necessarily a bad thing :)
I think I might’ve mentioned this on one of your other videos before? But I really love seeing these like historical sites and just really appreciate the fact that you also show us this more historical side of Korea. Also that iced 유자차 looked sooo refreshing 😩
I believe about 30-40% of the rice produced in the country during Chosun period were forfeited to Japan. These were mostly used as supplies for Japanese military. I’m glad u got to experience and appreciate the sad part of Korean history. And I appreciate u informing it to people. Not alot of foreigners are aware of that.
1. Never in my life would I have guessed you went to Gunsan on your instagram question about guessing where you were going 2. I can't believe you just up and went to Jeolla for a day trip dang
My dad just passed but I used to force him to watch your vlogs with me as I would try to show him the beauty and charm of Korea hoping he would take me one day as a father daughter trip since he’s always been so fond of food and travel, more so than my mom. You’ve always done an amazing job. Your vlogs always have that Cari touch to them, with your old soul and artistic persona. I hope to go next summer after I turn 19, I hope I get to meet you so we can share in our fondness of tea, films, and also as I’ve just discovered through this vlog - blacks sesame. Lol. Please never stop making vlogs! x
I am so sorry to hear about your loss! Good to hear you're keeping up his love of travel, and I hope your future trip is amazing. If we're both in Seoul at the same time I'll treat you to some black sesame bingsu!
Korea is naturally beautiful, the vibe is so nice. I hope one day I can go and visit that amazing country! :') ❤️❤️❤️, Cari your videos are so nice as well as your personality. Hope you can always be happy and healthy.
I love to see and “explore” Korea through your videos, and hopefully one day I will finally organize myself and take a vacation there! Thank you for making these videos! 😄
Super interesting comment about the similarities between Irish and Korean history! Korean history is always so complex and every time I think I understand it I find out something new that creates a whole new perspective 😮 loved the video as always 💕
In the very beginning, when your hair is in a ponytail, it looked like you had short hair & omg it also suits you LOL! Plus, i also really appreciate these videos because you literally take us to places we probably won't even know to visit when going to south korea, so thank you for that. 💖
i have the trip planned, just need to set time to get there haha i want to stay overnight and have multiple days to explore so hopefully sometime this summer :)
Could you make a video on the nooks and crannies of HongDae, like on the unknown hidden gems there? I would really appreciate that. Loved the history lesson in the beginning!
Beautiful video. Great to see Gunsan City after so many years. I spent almost two years from 1990-91, then returning in 94 and staying until 99 stationed at Kunsan Air Base. I wish I could go back for a visit and see some old friends. Most Americans would leave after a year, so I had more Korean friends than American ones. So many changes have taken place in the years since I left.
South Korea is really place for aesthetic cafes. WOW! Thank you for taking us to Gunsan! The city's history is so interesting and beautiful. I want to travel.
These little daytrip videos are always so inspiring to watch, can’t thank you enough for these vlogs 🙌🏽 Interesting to see how all the old buildings have been preserved I also love that no matter how far you go away from Seoul, there’s always an entourage of aesthetic cafes to go relax in 😂
lol i feel like its a requirement to be a city in korea: must have a minimum of 1 aesthetic cafe hahah and thank you for always being there for my adventures :)
Oh man. A nice little trip down memory lane. Gunsan was the first travel me and my (now) wife did after I was stationed back in Korea for a second time. Loved this video!
I am a newer subscriber and you just are awesome! :D I love to watch while I'm studying the Korean language. I'm going to visit Seoul in late September! I am so excited! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Can't wait for your next video. :D
Im rewatching all of your videos bc I caught up a while ago and just cannot wait for every new vlog 😂 Im having fun though! Your videos are always such an inspiring mood booster. Thanks! 😊
I'm now in the blackhole that is clicking link after link in Wikipedia but I LOVED the connection you made between Gunsan and Ireland being in similar situations as food producers for their colonizers. I am now reading up on Gunsan during the occupation and it's fascinating and heartbreaking. Thanks for another great video, CarI!
yeah, i took countless korean history courses for my major and even i am still finding out new things every day. glad we could learn a little bit together!!
I’ve always thought the Japanese occupation in Korea was so interesting. It’s sad but really fascinating to see how Korea came back from such an attempt to culture strip them. Great video, Cari! (Also, your summer dress is absolutely adorable!!) ❤️❤️
ahh i'm not sure how i missed this vlog back when you posted it like a year ago but seeing this gives me so much nostalgia - i lived in a town close to gunsan from summer 2017 to summer 2018 and seeing just common places like the bus terminal and the retro traintrack street feels so cool knowing how many times i have been in that exact same place! now i need to go back and visit these other places you went!
also RELATABLE with almost missing the bus being at the wrong terminal - I did that in Cheongju about a year ago IN THE RAIN but luckily they're like, also across the street from one another, and i BARELY made it
I am mostly housebound due to chronic illness, and you going out and taking us places is like we're there with you. I'm enjoying these vlogs so much! Thankyou x
I felt the same Irish-Korean history connection in the Seodaemun Prison History Museum in Seoul! Forcing the colonizer language on the people, the arrests, the hangings, etc. That's an excellent museum! I'd love to see you vlog about it someday.
Good morning~c.c How can you travel to Korea more than I am, a Korean....Wow. (ENGLISH) Hi everyone! Last week I headed down south from Seoul to the city of Gunsan! I have never had a bad time in Jeollado and this was no exception :) This is definitely a fun little stop for some sunshine and history. Thanks for coming along with me! (KOREAN) 안녕하세요 지난 주에 나는 서울에서 군산시로 남쪽으로 내려갔어! 나는 전라도에서 한 번도 나쁜 시간을 보낸 적이 없었고 이 또한 예외는 아니었다:) 이곳은 분명 몇몇 햇빛과 역사를 위한 재미있는 작은 정류장이다. 같이 와줘서 고마워!
Quoting my biochem teacher "internet is very good if you use it for the right things, like with RUclips, we can get to know about so many places that we probably didn't even imagine existed or that we want to know but we can't go to[...]" thanks for taking us with you to such interesting places ❤
I was stationed at Kunsan AB in the early 2000s. I loved the city due to its historical significance. Plus, if you showed interest in the local heritage, the people there were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Suggestion: there is a train that runs from Seoul Central station to Seocheon just across the River from Kunsan- it took about 3 1/2 hours, but seemed to be a better way to see the countryside compared to being in a traffic jam on MSR-1. Loved the people, loved the food, and love the country.
I lived there for a year in the late 90s, but learned more here in a few minutes. There's a lot English info there because there is a 4000 plus American military base only a few miles away.
I hope that ministry of tourism of Korea financed your blogs . They are full with a lot of information and of course they are very inspirational for me and i am sure for other people to come and visit.💖
Once again, i travel with you and it was so fun and i enjoy the images so much 💗 i never go in Korea but today with you, i learn a few thing about this country and about the history of Gunsan too so i'm really happy so thank you again and again and see you soon 👐💗🇰🇷
Beautiful little town with fascinating history, that's totally my jam 😊 Thank you for taking us along, I hope you'll be able to go back to keep exploring! ❤️
I haven't said much on your videos recently because I've been very unwell with the flu and an infection but I really enjoy your travel vlogs. I will get to Korea eventually and can't wait to check out all the places you've shared!
ok, after 3 minutes I added this destination to my "places to see in Korea" list haha :) I love the fact that you note the similarities between Irish and Korean history. I've noticed a few cultural and historical similarities already but I really don't know much about Korean history yet. There are so many cultural points that make the Korean and Irish so close. I find this quite fascinating, as an Irish citizen in love with Korea.
I LOVE your day-trip videos. Could you do a video on how you choose a city/region to visit, the coffee shops, etc. - basically how you plan your trips? I'm Korean and have lived here all my life, but whenever I watch your videos I'm like 'what have I done all my life?'
bahahah sure!! honestly a lot of it is just naver blogs! i find one cool looking spot like a cafe and then build my trip around it using naver or insta ;)
💖 If you like seeing cities other than Seoul, check out my Outside of Seoul playlist here: bit.ly/2YLR3h4
South Korea is really THE PLACE for aesthetic cafes... WOW!
Thank you for taking us to Gunsan! The city's history is sooo interesting... ^^
right?! hahahah every city has at least 5 gorgeous options and thanks for coming along~
The only thing I "don't like" about your vlogs is that my "Places to visit" list gets longer every time I watch haha Which, after all, is not necessarily a bad thing :)
LOL sorry, not sorry!
I think I might’ve mentioned this on one of your other videos before? But I really love seeing these like historical sites and just really appreciate the fact that you also show us this more historical side of Korea. Also that iced 유자차 looked sooo refreshing 😩
im so so glad cause i genuinely love going to these places too!!! and omg it was exactly what i needed on a hot summer morning hahah
I believe about 30-40% of the rice produced in the country during Chosun period were forfeited to Japan. These were mostly used as supplies for Japanese military. I’m glad u got to experience and appreciate the sad part of Korean history. And I appreciate u informing it to people. Not alot of foreigners are aware of that.
im thankful gunsan had so much information around the city to help me learn!
yay it’s always a happy day when cari uploads
gah! thankyou^^
I'm always love your video touring around south korea, not just seoul 💕 keep going, Cari
im glad, cause i love making these heheh thank you!!
1. Never in my life would I have guessed you went to Gunsan on your instagram question about guessing where you were going
2. I can't believe you just up and went to Jeolla for a day trip dang
Love me some long bus rides 😂
My dad just passed but I used to force him to watch your vlogs with me as I would try to show him the beauty and charm of Korea hoping he would take me one day as a father daughter trip since he’s always been so fond of food and travel, more so than my mom.

😯 thank you for sharing about Gunsan, I love that they turned it into a prideful and beautiful place 😍
Korea is naturally beautiful, the vibe is so nice. I hope one day I can go and visit that amazing country! :') ❤️❤️❤️, Cari your videos are so nice as well as your personality. Hope you can always be happy and healthy.
thank you so much, hope you're happy n healthy too :)
I love to see and “explore” Korea through your videos, and hopefully one day I will finally organize myself and take a vacation there! Thank you for making these videos! 😄

Super interesting comment about the similarities between Irish and Korean history! Korean history is always so complex and every time I think I understand it I find out something new that creates a whole new perspective 😮 loved the video as always 💕
im so thankful for towns like this that have so much information to help us keep learning!! thankyou^^
I live in Gumsan. Thank you for coming to Gunsan.^^
Hello, can u tell me how is Gunsan? Is it safe? We live in India n planning to shift to Gunsan for couple of years.
Plz reply
Love that you visited Jeollabuk! Wow that blue sky @7:29 ! Beautiful video and Gunsan!
looooooove jeollado!!!
i love the history lesson in this! knowing the historical background of the places you visit only makes the experience richer!
In the very beginning, when your hair is in a ponytail, it looked like you had short hair & omg it also suits you LOL! Plus, i also really appreciate these videos because you literally take us to places we probably won't even know to visit when going to south korea, so thank you for that. 💖
hahaha i dream of being able to have short hair but my hair is way too thick - maybe someday tho!! and thankYOU!
I think so tooo!!! :D
Would love to see you visit Gwangju, there's so much history there that not many vloggers show.
i have the trip planned, just need to set time to get there haha i want to stay overnight and have multiple days to explore so hopefully sometime this summer :)
Could you make a video on the nooks and crannies of HongDae, like on the unknown hidden gems there? I would really appreciate that. Loved the history lesson in the beginning!
im always scared of doing that because there are sooo many and i'd want to show them all but cant feasibly hahah maybe i'll try to start small heheh
@@caricakes you could make it into a mini series 😊! Do 2 - 5 each time. Maybe like, one cafe, one photo op place and one shopping place/quiet area?
so excited to visit Korea next year and visit some of these different cities other than Seoul! love the relaxing & unique vlogs 😌 💜
the transportation here makes it so easy to explore! hope you have fun^^
I was stationed at kunsan Air Base in the 70s.
I love to see how much is changed in almost 50 years.
Oh my gosh this city is gorgeous! That cafe was so nice! I loved the vibe of this small-ish town! The architecture and temple area were so pretty too!
Cari anywhere she goes: omg the owners were SO nice 🥰🥰
Beautiful video. Great to see Gunsan City after so many years. I spent almost two years from 1990-91, then returning in 94 and staying until 99 stationed at Kunsan Air Base.

lol i feel like its a requirement to be a city in korea: must have a minimum of 1 aesthetic cafe hahah and thank you for always being there for my adventures :)
Absolutely love the vibe of this whole video. Great learning about all the history and beautiful architecture. Also, temple cat sighting!
i would have been so sad if i hadnt seen the temple cat hahaha and thanks!!
Oh man. A nice little trip down memory lane. Gunsan was the first travel me and my (now) wife did after I was stationed back in Korea for a second time. Loved this video!

AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME VLOG CARI!!

Gunsan is a beautiful city full of culture and history. This is a beautiful city to explore. :)

당신의 열정에 경의를 표합니다.
예전에 대전 유성쪽 영상 즐거웠어요
군산 선유도도 갔으면 더 좋았을텐데
국내 돌아다니다 뵈면 맜있는 차 대접하고 싶네요. 부라보
Every time you upload a something I just stop what I am doing and to watch your fantastic videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you so so much!
I felt the same Irish-Korean history connection in the Seodaemun Prison History Museum in Seoul! Forcing the colonizer language on the people, the arrests, the hangings, etc. That's an excellent museum! I'd love to see you vlog about it someday.
i still need to visit!!
Good thing I stayed up :D I can finally watch this as it got uploaded ^^ love from Serbia♥️

Am jealous of all your travelling!
I need to get out of Seoul more!
Good morning~c.c
How can you travel to Korea more than I am, a Korean....Wow.
(ENGLISH)
Hi everyone! Last week I headed down south from Seoul to the city of Gunsan! I have never had a bad time in Jeollado and this was no exception :) This is definitely a fun little stop for some sunshine and history. Thanks for coming along with me!
(KOREAN)
안녕하세요 지난 주에 나는 서울에서 군산시로 남쪽으로 내려갔어! 나는 전라도에서 한 번도 나쁜 시간을 보낸 적이 없었고 이 또한 예외는 아니었다:) 이곳은 분명 몇몇 햇빛과 역사를 위한 재미있는 작은 정류장이다. 같이 와줘서 고마워!
good morning!!!
Jaejoon on your bus❤️ another wonderful vlog, beautiful scenery & very informative. Thank you, Cari!
i could watch him for hours LOL
@@caricakes i'm surprised he can get on a tv show tbh, but yeay 🎉
Very beautiful aesthetic place!!!! wow!
Thank you for sharing!
Quoting my biochem teacher "internet is very good if you use it for the right things, like with RUclips, we can get to know about so many places that we probably didn't even imagine existed or that we want to know but we can't go to[...]" thanks for taking us with you to such interesting places ❤
Making sure I watch your videos to complete my duty as a viewer even when I’m on a road trip. I really hope my mobile data works with me
omg!! have fun on your trip too^^
cari cakes my mobile data and service cut out as I was watching so now 12 hours later I am finishing your video

thanks so much!!
I couldn't stop think about Pachinko the whole video
I love those rest stops in Korea and those long distance buses are pretty comfortable too!
"I'm going to figure out where Kurt is, we're gotta get some dinner" married things lmao
I lived there for a year in the late 90s, but learned more here in a few minutes. There's a lot English info there because there is a 4000 plus American military base only a few miles away.

Beautiful vlogg .. thank you cari xx 💖 💖
군산 서울에서 가깝고 분위기가 너무 좋더라구요 ㅎㅎ 역사적인 맥락을 살펴보면 슬퍼지지만 흔적들이 많은 생각을 하게 합니당
Another impressive video! I really liked the history lesson at the start and the attention you show to Korea's history.
Beautiful little town with fascinating history, that's totally my jam 😊 Thank you for taking us along, I hope you'll be able to go back to keep exploring! ❤️
I loved your outfit for this vlog, especially the blouse!

korea is filled with these gems its crazy!
And the list of places to go is increasing but i love it. Thanks you so much for show us places out of city that looks amazing!
As I was watching I was going "Oh no! I think she's getting sunburnt!" and sure enough haha
lol! i knew it too haahha its finally gone now!
This video is so pretty! I like watching your videos when I want to wind down for the day.
I haven't said much on your videos recently because I've been very unwell with the flu and an infection but I really enjoy your travel vlogs. I will get to Korea eventually and can't wait to check out all the places you've shared!
Ahh I’ve been living in Gunsan for a year and this video just made me want to explore to places I didn’t even know we had :o
I basically just stopped watching one of your vlog to watch this vlog 😩
omg thank you ahhhh!
난 군산에 24년살면서 저런곳은 첨봐요ㅋㅋㅋ
Really made my day...all the breezy wind & hestoric place 😍
^^~
I'm from gunsan and I think you introduce here really well!!!! So impressive
I think you knew about here more than I am =]
Amazing video of Gunsan!
😄😄😄
Love the short histry lessons you make in your vlogs
ok, after 3 minutes I added this destination to my "places to see in Korea" list haha :)
I love the fact that you note the similarities between Irish and Korean history.
I've noticed a few cultural and historical similarities already but I really don't know much about Korean history yet.
There are so many cultural points that make the Korean and Irish so close. I find this quite fascinating, as an Irish citizen in love with Korea.
Wow!! i saw you!! i live in gunsan. When you came to Gunsan, I walked around and saw it by chance. hahaha
If you come to Gunsan again, I would like to introduce you to another place.
Thanks for taking us along! 💞
thanks for joining!
Super cute and interesting video! Love that you're always exploring different areas of Korea.
thank you for joining me!!
It’s a funny, pretty video!!
I’ll come see you again 😍
I LOVE your day-trip videos. Could you do a video on how you choose a city/region to visit, the coffee shops, etc. - basically how you plan your trips? I'm Korean and have lived here all my life, but whenever I watch your videos I'm like 'what have I done all my life?'
