Tokyo & Seoul VLOG 📹 a week in japan + korea, my husband's first trip to tokyo, thrifting, snow days
Dear passengers, we have landed
at Tokyo International Airport the local time in Tokyo is 9:45 pm. Hi there, just back from Pilates and
I'm setting up a movie that I've been meaning to watch...yes here it is, here it is. Polite
Society. It's on Netflix, I've heard good things about it so I'm going to watch that.
This Vlog should be pretty fun because in the middle of this week we will be heading
to Tokyo. I said it in my last Vlog but I'm not quite sure how much I'm going to film because
t
his is 100% a Kurt production - I have made no plans. This will be my maybe 7th or 8ty
time in Tokyo, it will be Kurt's first so I've handed him the reigns for this one. But
that's really what's going on. Welcome to the Vlog and let's just have a cute little
movie night so let's watch Polite Society~ Also my friend just opened a
vintage shop on Instagram so I bought some things and I'm going to show you what I got. Also
the movie was wacky but I still recommend if you like martial arts movi
es? Here's the label with
her precious puff Mongi - we love him. I think for this I'm going to put a white T-shirt
under it but it's a little silky yellow fun little apron looking top. I might take out the
shoulder pads for this one...good morning good afternoon good evening. Little cats. I might
even bring this to Japan actually. I love the little sleeves. So that's that - I even got a note
from the CEO. All right now I'll see you tomorrow! Hey this is where I get to tell you that I
actua
lly didn't speak at all while I vlogged so this is just going to be a little montage of
our 4 days there, our three days there and we just had a really wonderful time and it was so
nice to for the first time in my life really just kind of be the passenger princess on a trip
and just wander around. I really only helped figure out like transportation and stuff
like that yeah it was just very relaxing very chill. We're very thankful that
we got to take this trip and I hope you enjoy~ Hi everyo
ne very quick checkin. I know I
haven't spoken but this is our second full day. Kurt has been calling all the shots,
the weather is perfect, we thought it was going to be a lot more crowded than it
was but it doesn't feel much different considering that it's Lunar New Year
and it's just been fun to kind of explore with eyes that are not mine. So right now
we're in the middle of the like food and like kitchen district? I've never been around
here before. Overall it's just been it's been rea
lly fun, so sorry that I haven't checked
in but I'll catch you guys guys later! And hello we are back from Japan. Thank you guys so much for watching even
though I didn't speak. It felt very nice to just kind of record without constantly talking
to the camera. Yeah that was Kurt's version of a Tokyo trip - had a lot of fun and before I dive
into what we're doing today, I have a Japan haul for you (mini haul) but first I just want to give a
shout out to the sponsor of this video who made our
trip to Japan possible which is Squarespace - as always Squarespace is a place to host your online presence. I use it for a personal blog, you can use
it for things like a community or a shop because they have monetization features, a great analytics
section, they have ways to connect your social media accounts as well as adding email lists
and comment sections. They also have a bunch of free templates that makes making a website very
simple so right now you can go to squarespace.com and pla
y around with all of those templates and
features for free and then when you are ready to launch your website you can go to squarespace.com/
caricakes to get 10% off of your first website or domain. As always mine is linked down below - caricakes. net if you want to see my Squarespace so thank you as always, that information will be
in the description box. And what did I purchase? Neither of us are really like shoppers when we
travel. I know that a lot of people when they go to Japan they ha
ve very specific things that they
like to pick up. Normally I would stop in like Uniqlo or GU just because their jeans are always like for people who are my height but we didn't do any of that. Kurt ended up getting some really beautiful
glass cups because he's very interested in that but for me, I hit a tea shop. Luckily Kurt was there
to like kind of control me because I did have an empty suitcase so I could have gone ham but I
didn't. I ended up getting two different canisters... will it
focus, yes here we go - this is like
traditional washi paper around just your classic tea tin. I have a lot of loose leaf teas and I'm
going - I have this one and then I got it in yellow as well - and so yeah I have a lot of loose leaf
teas that I just kind of forget about. They're sort of like my tea cabinet is very disorganized and
kind of chaotic so I'm going to use these to put the teas that I want to finish, like this season
cuz I have teas that are definitely like more of a winter fla
vor versus a spring flavor Etc so I'm
going to put my more wintry teas in here to try and push myself to finish them. They're
very bright colored, I will put them at the front of my tea cabinet so I will try to go for these
whenever I'm going for a cup of tea. So that's what I got - they had huge ones too, I figured these
were just the right size for the amount of loose leaf tea that I buy. So I got this and then I got
this apple tea in tea bag form. It's just something Ringo - that's all I
know I can't read the the kanji.
But yeah it's just a black tea with a fresh Apple flavor so yay that's, this is my haul,
this is what I bought in Japan and I'm very happy with it. But now I'm actually going to head out and
we're going to do some studying. I want to get more into my like proper classes again, I know that I mentioned I'm doing like canva and graphic design stuff on skillshare but right now I'm trying
to do more Humanities classes on coursera so I have a couple that I'm tryin
g to start and
I'm going to make it like a weekly thing instead of usually I will get super into studying and
on coursera you can just like breeze through a class so I will just like spend two or 3 hours
taking a class and then promptly either forget everything or like I never finish the course so
I'm going to try and come up with a schedule so that I do a little bit every week instead of like
exhausting myself. So that's what we're doing. I'm going to start with - I have a Linguistics cour
se
I think I only want to start with one right now that's that and I'll update you on what teas
go in here but let's head out and thank you as always for being here. I hope that you enjoyed
that Little Tokyo montage and let's go! Checking in from rainy Seongsu - very quickly, I saw the Holdovers which made me cry. Very great Christmas movie, I could see myself
watching that every Christmas. And yeah now I'm over here stopping in a couple
vintage stores. I wasn't expecting it to rain / snow
as much as it is so we're going
to make this a quick run. I might stop and read a little bit of my book. Nobody has
umbrellas it's so funny, like everyone is chaotically running around. Yeah I might
stop and read a book but then I need to go home, I have an unexpected meeting and I think
I got a package from a friend that I'm excited to open so it's going to be a little bit
of a messy Thursday but off we go! hi hello is it bright enough? Okay. I have a package - oh my what? - okay
so I hav
e a package from my friend Peri and I know one thing that's in it but according to the
customs declaration there's something else! Ooh you taped this real good girl. Okay good Lord I don't think that's how I was supposed to open it but here we are. This is when you know someone really
loves books, is the amount of careful packaging surrounding this precious cargo. They're wrapped so beautifully what the heck! Here's her packaging oh my gosh it's tied with such beautiful twine.
Oh thank you -
so this is from a bookstore that I apparently must visit. What why is this now my most beautiful book tote? Can you see? Oh my gosh officially added to my collection of most favorite
totes, thank you. I'm going to open the big one first because I know what this is. My third copy
of Once Upon A Broken Heart...however it's signed. Oh it even says my name! Oh it actually says to Cari, oh my gosh and then which one do I open first? I'll open this one first - extras from the Once Upon A
Broken Hea
rt world? Oh my gosh this is from the tour, they gave out for the book tour they gave
out I guess like the first chapter and then these beautiful Apple bookmarks. Did you make these
Peri? Did you? I am being so spoiled right now. Okay and then last one - this novel was an absolute masterpiece and had me gripped to the page, it's a literary fiction novella that slowly unravels a terrible secret of a town. Wait wait I know what this is - I know what this is. I think I read this
and I wanted...p
lease let - yes okay I actually read this Peri! And I wanted a physical copy. This is a dark little book. It is Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. Right I read this one right? Yes
okay. About a phenomenal on that I had no idea existed. We truly share the same mind Peri, thank
you so much. This was the best package I could ask for. I'm going to keep these little pieces as
well, I'm going to put this in the book actually. Okay truly the most spoiled girl on earth. Book
friends are the b
est friends, I've got to say. I am so overwhelmed and thankful. I did not expect that cuz we talked about this it was sort of like oh send it to me whenever and whenever was today!
Peri, thank you so much. And sort of strangely on that note I'm actually going to end the video here.
I have a meeting in...very soon that I need to get ready for and then I'm going to kind of edit this up and start filming for next week. It's going to be a weird rainy week, I don't know what's
happening, I think w
e might be meeting up with Sissel, I might be meeting up with another friend
so good things on the horizon! I also managed to get like one of the last tickets to see Dune
in IMAX - I mean within like the opening weekend so yeah we're going to go see that which I'm so
excited for. Yeah just overall bright things on the horizon and I will catch you guys later so thank
you as always. Thank you for watching that very different style of Tokyo Vlog and yeah thank
you again to Squarespace for spon
soring this - information will be down below but squarespace.com
caricakes you can get 10% off your first website or domain, highly recommend as always and yeah oh I'm just so tickled. So okay I need to go set my life up on the computer and I'll catch you guys later thank you always and let me know what you're up to, let me know if you have any content

to check out and I'll see you then okay okay bye
Comments
This was the perfect "sequel" to your December 2019 Tokyo vlog (which is my all time favorite)! Different and yet it still had your AeStHeTiC! You and Kurt should travel together more often!
the background music choices for these vlogs is just chefs kiss so good! it's so fun how something as small as a song choice can brighten my mood but every one in this vlog evokes so much joy ❤
Other bloggers japan hauls: 5000$ purse, Cari: tea canisters This is why I adore your channel!
You know you're up too late when your sunday morning ritual watch turns up in your recommended the night before... Been looking forward to this though!!
The day of the week caption changing between Japanese and Korean was a nice little touch 😊
Cari, watching your videos makes me heart fuzzy, warm and calm. This is beautiful, inspiring! I love how authentic and real you are. This is rare to find now.
I live in Tokyo and seeing it through your lens is magical. Thank you, as always, for taking us along! ❤
Your vlogs are always so relaxing 😌 love seeing all of the trees blooming. Spring is so closeeee
excellent sunday morning coffee viewing. really enjoyed the atmospheric tokyo footage—didn't need narration. 🗼
Polite Society is a ridiculously entertaining time. Looks like you had and Kurt a good time with in Tokyo. Thank you for including that short of Helloy Kitty and a grandma in a wheelchair. No idea what kind of product that was but so cute.
It would be interesting to see some nature content - maybe some hiking videos when it gets warmer (if you're into hiking :) or maybe something about Korea's fauna and flora?
Oh I would love a trip to Tokyo. Someday. The Holdovers was great! I loved the LOOK of the movie, whatever filter or film they used. I miss that look from older movies. And Small Things Like These would have a great annual Christmas read. I've been wanting to get her new one.
Wow that view of Mount Fuji from your return flight!!
It’s so relaxing to walk through Meiji Shrine
I love the piggy cafes ❤🐷 Also, unpopular opinion but I think plum blossoms are even prettier than sakura. I am always happy when they start blossoming because it means winter is finally over!
That was a lovely video cari! Thanks for sharing! I love wandering trips and just walking around. Sometimes I take a "trip" through my city and visit a neighborhood I've never been to and walk around <3. Also those tea canisters! I repurposed twinnings loose leaf tea canisters I had and some glass jars. Yours look so pretty! and distinguishable, every time I go grab a tea is a mystery where the one I want is lol
You have no idea how much I enjoy your videos.. ❤ every time you upload I get excited and get cozy on the couch 😊
🐖❤️🐖OMG I immediately started to Squeeee and got tears in my eyes when I saw those little pigs!!! Pigs (and penguins) are my favorite animals, and playing with little baby pigs would probably make me the happiest (sobbing because im ridiculous) person on the planet! 😂🐖❤
your vlogs remind me to find magic in ordinary places
i love that you're getting into linguistics, that's what i'm studying in university!
