Hey guys, I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Nancy
We just met like couple hours ago. She's in Korea for a week. Packing up her stuff cuz she moved. Where'd you move to?
Nowhere in particular. Just traveling around the world
That's pretty cool though. That's awesome
So we're having a picnic in the park. I found this really awesome park
I'm gonna show you guys around after because there's so much nice stuff to see here. Oh, yeah, don't mind the screaming
There's actually an amusement park right behind us. We're gonna have a picnic full of sakura snacks
cherry blossom snacks because I'm in Korea now
But they came out with so many cute cherry blossom flavored snacks this year. They're so adorable
Yeah, I don't think there were this many last year
Yeah
I think this is the first year that they're like really going for it. The pink packaging is so cute. These ones
Cherry blossom popcorn are apparently vegan so that's really exciting
Meagan told me that, and then
Honey butter cherry blossom flavored chips, that's lots of flavors in one
it will be very interesting to see how these taste and
They're just like some kind of wafer cookie
Yeah, the names really weird it's called Heim.
Yeah I haven't figured out what the Heim means, but the package is really cute. Actually what I'm most excited for are these
Sakura flavored sodas from the convenience store. This one is just cherry blossom flavor and then
this one is
Cherry blossom and green grape. Last we have
We can't eat these today, but I just want to show them to you guys. They're Bibimen, but they have little
sakura
fish cakes to
Sprinkle on top of it afterwards so I thought we could open the package and see what they look like
My husband could eat it later
That's just really fun
This is the most interesting thing I think
I never thought they would come out with something like this
They're really creative. Alright, what should we try first?
Should we pour the drinks?
Yeah sure
Yeah, we got some cute cherry blossom cups from Daiso
Better be pink or I'll be disappointed. Oh, it's cute. Yeah, I'm so glad it's pink
Well it looks delicious. Let's hope it tastes good. Yeah, oh it smells so nice
Does it smell like cherry blossoms?
It smells like, I want to say peach. Why does it smell like peach? Smells like a perfume like a body spray
Wonder if it'll be green.
This one smells like grapes
Oh what, it's like milky. What the heck. Oh, it's got chunks
Is that a good thing?
Grape chunks
Don't know how I feel about the word chunks
Looks-wise this one gets my vote. Yeah It's kind of cool how they're different though
Cheers
Mmm. Yeah, it's chunky. Oh it's chunks of grape
This one's really sweet. Is your's really sweet?
It's quite sweet
This is like candy that was melted into liquid form
Oh my god. It's sweet but it's not overpowering this one
Really like the chunks. I think it might be aloe vera. It reminds me of those aloe vera drinks that have
Yeah, the chunks in the bottom and it's quite nice
I feel like this one taste better, but I haven't tried it yet
They're completely different. Wow I thought they were gonna be similar but they're so different
Yeah I think it is aloe vera
I kind of like it though. This would make a really nice ice-cream float because then it would like water down the candy flavor
these are the cherry blossoms popcorn you can get them at the GS25 convenience store
and they still have them even though there's no cherry blossoms left. They're still celebrating with cute snacks
so if you're in Korea you can still get these and the sodas were from there as well
I really hope that these have actual cherry blossom smell, and they're not like
Cause I feel like, this didn't taste like cherry blossoms. Yeah it tastes more like cherry or strawberry or something
Hmm, that smell really good
But it smells like strawberries
yeah
I'm really bad at describing smells so I'm just like yeah
It's smells like
Strawberry milk
It totally does smell like strawberry milk
Here is our wonderful cherry blossom popcorn that doesn't smell like cherry blossoms, but at least the smell is really good
And they're pink
Yeah they're really cute
Wow that's sweet
It's kind of sour too - It is kind of sour
Yeah weird
It's like when you get a strawberry that's not quite sweet, and it's got that tartness to it. It kind of tastes like that
Don't know why I keep on eating it though
We're addicted. It's like, it is yummy
Definitely not bad
I don't know though. I don't think I would buy this again
I don't think I would purchase it to eat it
for fun
It's nice, but I kind of just want to put it in a bowl and smell it. Like have it smell up my room
cause it smells really nice - like potpourri
Oh my god I should totally try that
So you guys probably know that honey butter chips are like a big thing in Korea
They have been for the last few years, and they have honey butter everything
almonds
peanuts
they don't look any different, and they don't smell any different
Can you read any of this
Like here. There it says it's sweet
It's really sweeeeeet
Oh wait, I think down here it says. Yeah, it says it includes some
0.5%
cherry blossom
extract maybe
They smell quite good
She doesn't look impressed
I mean they're good but they just taste like
the regular ones?
yup I think so
Like really small amount of, like a little bit of floral
Cherry blossom with Heim
Yeah, it reminds me a German every time I hear it, but I still don't know what it means
They're cute
It definitely tastes like cherry
A little bit on the sweet side. I think it's good - Okay. These ones get a thumbs up from Nancy
These ones are there definitely still in the store these ones you can get at like a regular supermarket
Last thing let's see what the little cherry blossoms look like inside this beebeep beebeep beebeep
Bibimmyeon. Bibimmyeon. In Japanese it's Bibimen
So I always call them that
Where is it?
Where's the prize?
That's the sauce. It's not that one
Where is it!? No!
Where are the the little flowers?
There's literally nothing in here!
Is it just this?
Well, that's disappointing
We will inspect the package. Maybe it comes with like one little
resealable thing in the big pack
Disappointed in you
To be continued at the end of the video
We're just gonna eat some kimbap now
Yeah, and enjoy the view of the people on the roller coaster
And then I'm gonna show you guys around this area because it's so cool, so we're in
Seokchon Lake Park, so there's a pretty lake behind us
And then there's Lotte World an amusement park and then just behind this year is Lotte mall
And this huge shopping area. Lotte Mart, Lotte mall, a bunch of things. Oh my god
So Nancy's really good at Korean so she ordered some kimbap for us
How long did it take you to get comfortable with your pronunciation when you say?
I really have no idea probably like during this year when I moved to Seoul. Like my second year
Yeah okay so it took a while
Because that's my biggest struggle you guys like even when I feel like I know the words nobody understands me
And I think it's because I'm pronunciation really sucks
Look at that beautiful
Kimbap
All right we're done our picnics!
I'm gonna show you guys around so this is the amusement park in the background Lotte world
There's a castle here. Apparently you can't go in it though. I think it's just for decoration. I guess like the one in Disneyland
There's like a little transport train thingy that brings you over from the indoor part of the amusement park to the outdoor part
Yeah it looks fun
I don't like roller coasters, but I feel like I could handle that thing. Nancy on the other hand really likes them. She's crazy
This roller coaster does look pretty cool
I'm not gonna lie it goes through a cave, and it's kind of neat how it's over a lake
It's just a pretty cool setup they have here
It's a lot smaller than Disneyland, but I will visit it one day and see what it's like
That looks like a level of rollercoaster that I could handle
Think one day I will go on it. I'll let you guys know how it is. What else do they have to see here?
There's a couple other rides like the ones that go up to the top of the tower and then drop down
Have you been on that one?
No those kind of scare me
Oh so you don't like those ones. That's interesting. That's one I've been on like the Tower of Terror
at Disneyland. I've been on that and this looks. You know kind of like the same
That looked really fast. This kind of looks like the same deal
I think it's called like Gyro Drop
Yeah Gyro Drop. Does it spin?
No I think it just goes up really really high then
And then drops fast yeah, I heard they're putting like a virtual-reality
Portion to it so even though you're only up like a certain height if you wear the glasses
And it looks like you're way up high. Yeah, so it sounds terrifying
So there was a cherry blossom festival here that ended on April 13th a couple days ago, so we just missed it
But I did manage to come here and take photos of the cherry blossoms so I'll insert some here
So you guys can pretend that there's like a really pretty cherry blossom background for this video
But there is one
Cherry blossom tree still blooming, so I'm gonna take Nancy over to see this one
I was here yesterday
And there was a lineup of people lining up to take a picture in front of this tree
There's like ice cream and over by the pretty tree there was a diner kind of thing
There's lots to do here. I really like this area
I come here quite often for Pokemon because I find it's a really good area for Pokemon
We found the tree it still exist. There's only a few people taking photos today
There's like petals flying
So this is the area where the bus car was yesterday on this little stage in front of the lake. It was so nice
and then everyone was sitting on the stairs here looking
more cute things to take pictures by
I took some nice photos here the other day
Show it to you guys. I wish I knew more Koreans. I could actually read about the place and tell you about it
At least you could enjoy the beauty of it for now
This would have been a nice area for our picnic. It's cute
So there's little lanterns up everywhere and
I wasn't sure what they were but Nancy said that it's Buddha's birthday
It might have passed though. I think
I'm not sure what the date of that is
But she told me that it's actually a holiday here. Some people get the day off
It's cute they have them all over town
Wonder if they have a celebration or something
Maybe at the temples
Oh yeah that would make sense
I'm not sure if there's an actual temple around this area or not
So we found the temple the mystery is solved, that's why there's decorations all over this area of town
You can kind of see it. In between here
That's so weird. It's like on top of a business building or something
That's cool
So we were just looking for a cafe to chill at for a little bit, and we found Billy Angel
Which is actually like one of my favorite cafes that I've found so far because they have this rose mojito
It's actually like really overpowering in taste, but it looks so pretty and it tastes really yummy for like the first
I don't know 10 sips or something before you get sick of it. But Nancy has never been to Billy Angel
Yeah, so we gotta go because they have really cool-looking drinks. Let me show you guys the menu
This is the one I was talking about. It has actual roses in it. It's so pretty
Then they have other drinks, but I never get them because they're not as pretty
Look at the rainbow crepe
I think their bestsellers are like the carrot cake and their red velvet cake
They're nice teas. I guess they have their own teas
Yeah I want to check though which brands
Yeah I want to buy this. They probably sell it
Ok we're gonna go back to my place and we're going to
Examine those noodles. I'm so curious. I going to be really bad if there's no cherry blossom flakes in that package at home
Ok we are home. It's time to see what's going on with these noodles
I can show you the package and it says something about cherry blossoms, I wasn't imagining it
There is a packet of them ok
Only one?
Well that's really sad
Six packages of ramen with one pack of this
I guess you can only have the fun cherry blossom noodles once. Well, that's disappointing
Aww they're adorable
They give you a lot so you could use it on all of them
Alright well. The bibimmyeon are just like the regular ones with one package of flowers
Would not recommend
We're finishing off our day together and Nancy's gonna go on her travels now
Yeah to the airport
So if you guys want to follow her on her adventures check out her channel
I will link her down below. Her videos are really fun
She has lots of really cool videos from when she was in Korea, too
So like go back and watch her old ones as well. I learned lots about Korea from watching hers alright guys
I will see you soon. Thanks for watching bye
