Hey guys, good evening from Korea
I'm currently in South Korea
because
I'm looking after the cats for a week whilst their dad goes on vacation
it's been really nice to catch up with them
I haven't seen them in probably
half a year now and I miss them so much
so it's been really nice so far
Maro, come here
this is Maro's new favourite toy
apparently, he's chewed it all to shit
but, he still loves it!
he thinks it's a real bug
'cause he like, he chirps at it
you know when cats make funny noises when they see birds and stuff outside
he does that with this, it's really hilarious
Maro, wanna play?
where are you going?
they're both doing really well
Luna, you wanna say hi?
you wanna say hi?
good girl, they haven't seen you in a while
yeah!
they're both doing really well, they're really healthy
and they look really happy
so I'm really relieved
we're still deciding what to do with them
we don't know who should take care of them
we want to keep them together
but then it doesn't feel fair
that one of us doesn't get either of the cats
so, we're currently
deciding what to do
if we should each take one
and then maybe get them some new friends in the future if they feel lonely
or if we should keep them together and one of us should take them, we don't know
but, in the meantime, I've started preparing them both to come to Japan, just in case
because we don't know what we're going to decide on
so that process has been started, but in case you guys don't know Japan is
horribly strict when it comes to importing animals into the country, so
the shortest that I can prepare them to get ready to enter the country is
eight months
they needed to get a rabies shot
and then they'll need to get a second rabies shot
a month following that
and then a month after that
their blood will be sent to an overseas laboratory to see if the rabies shot worked
and they've developed the proper antibodies in their blood
and once we've gotten the ok from that test
if it's isn't ok
then six months after that date
they're allowed to enter Japan
so it's a very long process, it's kind of expensive
I think it costs around $750 per cat
but it's a lot of work so I felt like it was worth it to pay the
vet to take care of all the documents and everything for me
I found a really good animal hospital
so, if for some reason you find yourself in a similar situation
with cats in Korea
and wanting to move to Japan, or I suppose any country overseas
I have a feeling he would be really good at dealing
with import regulations into any country
but it's Animal Hospital May
i'll put the name up here and their information down in the description box
the doctor is super nice and I've been really happy with them so far
so that's the cat update
other than that I've just been hanging out with my friends here in Korea
I made a new friend named Taylor, I'm going to see her again tomorrow
and I'm going to see Sunny!
and I'm going to see Megan!
and it's going to be a crazy day tomorrow!
so I figure I'll vlog some of it
we're going to do a little bit of shopping, I'm going to buy some souvenirs
that my friends have requested for me to pick up from Korea
and that's about it
tonight i'm going to build
a new cat tower
Luna
you excited about your tower?
what's in the box Luna?
you wanna open it, you wanna see your tower
their old tower is getting a little rickety
they have clawed the absolute shit out of it
yay, happy girl
happy girl!
but first can we please put some air-con on
'cause it is so hot and stuffy in here
can I show you guys something
so
this is all in Korean
and most of these words, I have no idea
what they mean
so
I use Google Translate
instant translating function with the camera
select instant down in the bottom corner there
and you just put it over top
and it translates it!
it's a little wonky
but in general, it does a good job
I choose to translate it from Korean into Japanese
just because they're such similar languages
that I feel like it gives the most accurate translation
ok
so, turn it on
please work!
so I build a nice new cat tower
Luna's in the box
and Maro's on the old cat tower
what are you doing?
go on your new tower!
why are you on that one?
it's gross!
why are you on that one?
go on your new one!
ridiculous
I think I'm just going to chill for the rest of the night and watch some Netflix
I'm currently watching 13 reasons why
the newest season, I'm probably like
four to five episodes in, it's pretty interesting so far
gonna see how many episodes I can get in before I fall asleep
but we got a busy day tomorrow so I probably shouldn't go to bed too late
and I'll see you guys in the morning
for that, we're going to go shopping at COEX Mall with Sunny
it's like one of the biggest malls in Seoul I love it it's so much fun
and we're going to meet Taylor in the morning, not sure where we're going to go
if the weather is nice we'll explore outside somewhere
so look forward to that and I'll see you guys in the morning, bye for now, goodnight!
good morning guys, I did not have a good sleep last night
I made the horrible mistake of putting in new
Invisalign tray in and I don't think I was ready for it
because my whole mouth is so sore
and I hope I'm going to be able to eat lunch
because I'm taking Taylor to my favourite bibimbap place
I decided I would take her there because I've had so much bibimbap
I, I love it and I eat it all the time
but this one restaurant, the way they make it
is just so delicious and I think she'll like it
so I'm going to take her there
and, I'm just chilling with the cats until then
good morning
say hi to everyone
happy boy
fun fact
I saw Maro in the window of a pet store, that's when I first saw him
and he was on sale for half price
and in Japan when a pet's on sale for half price
it usually means they're going to be
killed soon if nobody buys them so that's really what made me
want to go in and look at him
and I went in there and they let me hold him and he started chewing on my hand
and they were like 'yeah that's why nobody wants to buy him'
'he keeps chewing on everybody's hand'
and he hasn't given up the habit yet
it's been five years
still likes chewing on hands
don't you
yeah
good hand?
he doesn't bite hard, I don't know why
anybody saw that as a problem
I think it's cute
Maro's always cuddly in the morning
demands to be on my lap, he'll meow until I let him on it
and then later in the day
you can't get him up there if you tried, it's so weird
but he's always like this in the morning for some reason
Taylor's here!
she's streaming on Twitch at the moment
so if you hear her talking to herself
that's what's going on
I'll link her Twitch down below if you guys want to check here out
she does lots of like, in-real-life streams from Korea
just walking around outside
we're on our way to Bibimbap
I'm so excited I've been thinking about this all night
...cafe, it's a chain but this place makes them better than any other
of the shops, trust me it's so good
I've probably been here a hundred times and I always get the same thing
the menu might have changed since I was last here
I brought bread
oh they sell jook too, oh I'm sick, maybe I should eat jook
Yeah they're known for their jook but this place also has bibimbap
I don't think they have the one that I used to always get
I think they changed the menu but that's ok
I'll try something new
for the first time
I hate jook
don't get it, get a bibimbap
I ate so much bibimbap
these ones are good though
they're different
than usual
I ate so much bibimbap in my like...
I never get sick of it
...three years
here are the veggies
and they give you the rice separate
and you got to dump it in
and stir it all up yourself
and then
there's
spicy red pepper sauce
this is what it looks like after you stir it all up
it's not the prettiest but it's so yummy
so many different kinds of roasted vegetables
and Taylor got jook
which is a rice porridge
this is jook - It's like not soup but it is soup
Koreans like to eat jook when they're sick
because it's really easy to digest
mmm
It tastes the same, just without the tofu
It's pretty spicy
I put lots of the sauce in
it's spicy!
alright guys, we're going to enjoy our lunch
and we will see you afterwards
bye
we're chillin' with the cats
get the stick
her paws are so cute
they're so cute, yeah, aww
and Maro is still in Luna's spot
Maro that's Luna's spot
what're you doing?
he sees your feet coming in and he's like 'oh god who's that'
Maro, wanna say hi?
aw, he's so scared
say hi
aww
Maro it's ok, come on, come play
hey guys, we're at the mall now
we're trying to figure out my camera, I got a new camera
yes
we're trying to figure out the settings so if it's a little wonky at times that's why
I'm with Sunny!
Hello!
I'm holding the camera for Sharla today
we've got a tea and a coffee we're getting some caffeine in
a little bit sleepy
yeah
I saved on a bunch of money so I could do some shopping here but I haven't been able to find anything really that I like
hopefully we can find some stuff today
I haven't really been out much, I've just been spending time with the cats
I've seen Maro's belly this morning
his furry belly
hey did you know is opening up in Korea
Yeah, yeah bye
yeah bye
that's where I get my eyebrow pencil and I can only get it in so
this music is so weird, I feel like we're in a Disney movie or something
what is going on
aww
oh my god there's an ice cream tint
this is perfect right
yeah that is really cute
wonder what colour's good
maybe... Oh that's pretty berry
that's nice, what one was that?
was it lively pink?
I'll get one of those for my friend, we're doing some birthday shopping for my friend's birthday
trying to find some cute Korean cosmetics
oh that's a UV stick
aw cute
he's so adorable
so cute
maybe I'll get like a blush, a peach blush
yeah
there's some over here, maybe this one?
don't know if she likes the super orange one
so probably, probably that one yeah
this is a new lip tint from The Saem
moose candy...
...tint
aw I like these ones, look at those
oh my god
hot sauce?
what?
it does smell like green pepper
why's it called hot sauce?
do you think it's spicy?
I was thinking maybe it plumps your lips because it's spicy
the hot sauce red pepper one too
dang
shopping for Korean cosmetics is the best because they're so affordable
and these lip tints are only ₩6000
which is, I would say is about $6
so you can buy lots of cute little things and not break the bank
unlike American cosmetics which can get pretty pricey, and Japanese ones too
yay Korea!
Sunny found these
so they're like 0 calorie noodles with a black bean sauce
oh no it's 79
that's the sauce
I'll get them, I'll try them for dinner tonight
yeah, test it out
I hope there's no meat
we'll test it out later guys
I don't think there will be, it wouldn't be 79 calories
you can find COSEX products here so if you're looking for that, that's one of my favourite skincare brands
woah what is that? A balm stick?
it's a cleansing cleansing balm stick, so it comes like this
why did they put Shrek on it?
it's a 1 step cleansing balm stick
so it becomes...
kinda oily right
it becomes bubbly a little bit
oh, what?
it has like a little brush to make sure everything's clear
that's pretty cool
ordering some sushi rolls now
they're so cute, look at them
they wrap them up in little tubes like candy
I need to add more, apparently the minimum is ₩18000
oh really
so Sunny's getting her dinner right now
and it's a buffet of veggies and noodles
and then they stir-fry it for you
so you get to choose what you want
yep
this is the coolest idea ever I love it
and they're vegan-friendly too
yeah, because you can choose exactly what goes in it
yeah
alright guys we're all done shopping
so I'm gonna say bye to Sunny but I'll probably see her in Japan really soon
yes, we will see each other in Japan
we go back and forth a lot, so I'm sure we'll see each other soon
if you guys aren't subscribed to Sunny go check her out
she does a lot on her Indonesian channel but she also has an English channel
where she does lots of beauty stuff, she's really good with Korean beauty
so go follow her for that and fashion
I'm going to head back home, we're going to do a little with those diet noodles that you told me about
and I'm going to try the sushi that I bought
so I'll see you guys back at my place
bye!
In Japanese it's called jaw jaw mein, in Korean it's like jaw jaw miln
or something, I'm not very good at speaking Korean
but I love it I absolutely love it
and apparently this whole thing of noodles is only 79 calories
because they've replaced the regular noodles that they usually use
with konnyaku
it smells really nice
it's actually pretty yummy
it's definitely not as flavourful as the regular version
because the noodles themselves don't have much flavour
they're not salty
but the sauce is definitely good, it's tasty
and for 79 calories
if I can eat this many noodles you know
pretty stoked about that, that's pretty good
it's not bad at all, I would get that again, I like it
and these are the sushis I bought from the department store
so I got three different flavours
this one is vegetable
this one's wasabi
and this one's kimchi
they're about ₩2000 each
some of them more ₩2500
so about $2 each which is pretty expensive
but it was a department store so
and you're paying for the cute wrapping and everything as well right
so this is the vegetable one
Just looks like a regular
with the deep-fried tofu wrapped around it
it looks like there's some sesame seeds mixed in with the rice
and probably some vegetables as well
mmm
mmm it's so yummy
this is so good
the tofu, the deep-fried tofu is really sweet and nice
those are super tasty
I rate those 10/10, I don't think there was anything that could have made them much better
the noodles I would probably give them about a 7, but then again it's a diet food so I can't be too picky
for 79 calories they're decently tasty
alright guys I think I'm gonna say bye to you here and this'll be the end of my Korea video
I'll be back in Japan tomorrow
some more Japan videos coming soon, thanks so much for hanging out
say bye Maro, not sure when we'll see you next
bye Luna
Luna
say bye
wanna come say bye
yeah
come say bye
come here
say bye to everyone
good girl
thanks so much for watching you guys and I will see you again very soon
bye bye!
