Good morning!
Today, I'm going to talk in Korean
I'm finally challenging myself to talk in Korean;
I'm currently at McDonald's for breakfast
with my brother
and dad
For breakfast,
Deluxe
for my dad
And this is the McMuffin
Sausage Egg & Griddles
for Abe
And here we have hashbrowns
I don't usually eat McDonald's in Korea, but since I'm in America
we have to eat it
wait, focus
I'm hungry
McGriddle
The bread looks fun
Pancakes!
Our Korean isn't fluent
so in this vlog
there won't be too much talking lol
However, I will try my best
Today, we have errands
How do I say that in Korean?
Well, I'll be getting a phone plan
and hmm we will be going to the bank
we have a lot of things to do
how does it feel to drive after a long time of not doing so?
it's fine.
my dad: what's that tone?
Right now, we are in front of T-Mobile. I usually take care of my data plan in Korea, but
it's cheaper to get it done here so I'm at T-Mobile.
I usually paid 11,000won for unlimited roaming a day
But here, you can get unlimited calls, texts, and data for $45 a month. A MONTH!
So. much. cheaper.
Abe: Do you recommend T-Mobile?
Yes, I do recommend T-Mobile.
Not sponsored. I am paying for this with my own money!
We are 909 (talking about area code)
Worker: Is that a battery case?
Oh no, it's just a case you put in a card
I get questions about this all the time, but I got my phone case at Gangnam Underground Shopping for 25,000won
But it's not coming off.
Should I just do it?
Wow! It's so cheap (x2)
We wanted to get Chick Fil A, but we saw a Chipotle
So what are we going to eat?
that looks so yummy
that looks so yummy x2
I always like to eat it with this sauce
We ate half, but are full already...?
I think we are used to the smaller portion sizes in Korea.
We should take this home for later
We enjoyed the meal and saved the other half for later
and now where are we off to?
I see a Toys R Us over there. Let's go over there!
Vlogging feels awkward because I don't normally talk in Korean
and it's a bit difficult
Abe: Not me, it's super easy for me!
I was planning on doing this challenge with the help of Erin
Abe: But you wanted to do this with me instead, right?
No, I just wanted to bring the Korean vibes to my USA vlog
J: But now... Abe: What a greatttt idea!
Abe: Your third channel, "joanidea"
We used to go to Chuck E Cheese often when we were kids
The pizza here is pretty good
Yeah, it's so good. I want to eat it, but I'm too full right now.
We didn't even finish it.
Our portions have changed since we moved to Korea.
Even though it feels like I eat a lot, I guess the portions are bigger in America.
You, 1 year? And it'll soon be my third year
So we've changed. I used to eat two of these burritos in college.
J: Seriously Abe: Wow, you are so proud of it
Look at this sky. Reminds me of Toy Story.
It's so pretty!
So you needed Yondu and who?
Nebula?
J: But do you even need it? Abe: Yes
This one is hard to find
Wow, rude bastards!
Some guys trade pieces
They buy it and replace it with other pieces and return the figure...
J: Why would they change that? Abe: Some people are just plain rude.
Wait, that's really wrong.
J: Isn't this leg Deadpool Abe: No, but look the pieces are not the same here
This is seriously so wrong. *THAT'S STEALING!!!*
Yeah, they are bad. And omg I waant this.
Nah, nevermind. I don't have a team for all of them.
But wow, the figures you wanted, Yondu and Nebula are seriously hard to find.
I should've just bought it for you in Germany...
No, it's fine. You can buy it off of Amazon for $19. *me basically repeating what Abe said*
Then you should buy it off of Amazon.
Okay, let's go.
I noticed that skateboarding is super popular in Korea.
So Thrasher shirts and what else? I feel like a lot of students are carrying around their skateboards.
We are currently passing by a Tilly's which sells a lot of those shirts for about $20.
But we are going to a Nordstrom Rack instead. It's the discounted version of Nordstrom where they sell out of season clothing and basically everything is MUCH cheaper here.
You can find lots of cute stuff
So shall we take a look?
See look over here!
They have Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, and everything! Let's take a look at this backpack.
It's a Coach backpack.
It's originally $495, but it's currently on sale for about $250.
This is what I love about Nordstrom Rack.
What did you buy?
I bought a backpack~
Backpack because I need to study
Now, we are going to Goodwill to donate some of our clothes
Goodwill is a popular thrift store in America
A lot of people donate clothes and Goodwill resells them
It's very affordable. You can find shirts for $1-2 (it really depends on what piece)
And belts are $1 too!
The car smells like burritos
Because of jetlag, he only slept for three hours
But I
slept for 10 hours!
Ugh so annoying
Going to donate~
There's so much to see at Goodwill!
Look at all the colors!
If you are curious about which Goodwill I donated to, I will link it down below (Lots of Korean Fashion hehe)
Let's go home now!
All those boxes are figures.
He packed all of it before he came to Korea
This is madness/amazing/dedication
What now? Do you just collect?
Yes, I had some of these since the second grade.
Second grade?
This one! Gambit!
Ahh this X-Men.
Ah the one that carries a stick and cards.
Second grade, huh?
Wow wow wow wow
I just finished the Chipotle leftovers and now, I'm getting ready to edit some videos as well as write description boxes for some of my videos.
This vlog was a bit challenging and awkward because it was all in Korean, but I think we did a pretty good job.
I'm not sure when I'll do this again, but did you guys enjoy this episode?
Anyway, today's vlog ends here. I want to thank these people for adding in subtitles
I know it takes a long time (SERIOUSLY, I KNOW GUYS) and I realllllly appreciate it!! 😭💕
