Hey guys! So if you follow me on other social media, you know that I'm actually back in Korea now

Present continuous

I'm still working through editing all the videos from my trip through Japan

Past simple

So there's still lots more of those coming. But today is actually a really fun day and I wanted to vlog it for you

I'm here today with Greg and we're having his little birthday celebration and I'm actually going somewhere

really awesome later that I've been wanting to go ever since I moved to Korea and I finally - it's gonna happen today!

It's gonna happen. I keep it a little surprise until later.  Happy very late birthday Greg!

When was your birthday actually?  - November 17th But because I was in Japan at the time we couldn't celebrate it together

So we're doing that today. We've come too...Well, it's my favorite restaurant

And I know Greg loves it too. It's actually a vegan restaurant. Highly recommend their burger!

So if you come to Seoul do check out "Plant" - but let's eat I'm starving

Are you hungry?  - Starving.  So I got the new menu item, which is actually an irish stew

It looks like something my grandma would make - it looks really delicious

I can't wait to try that and Greg always gets the same thing. What did you get Greg?  - Chili-cheese fries in the chili-cheeseburger

(Sharla) Chili cheese everything - Chili chese everything.

Red velvet, I've never had this one and there's a cathair on it. Sorry. That's definitely from me - present from Maro

Happy birthday. And I got the hummingbird cake, my friend Megan's recommendation

She always raves about the hummingbird cake. I had never heard of hummingbird cake until I talked to Megan

Tastes like banana bread with a coconut whipped cream on top

How was lunch, did you like it? - Yesss! ... I loved it

The red velvet cake wasn't exactly what he was expecting.  - Yeah again, oh..

Well, it's hard to replicate it exactly cuz this is a vegan. It's like a hundred percent vegan

Restaurant so they can't put cream cheese  - I think it's just a lack of something...Korea is lacking something

like regular bakeries. It's like they don't spice them enough or so - let's go

It's like there's never enough nutmeg and cinnamon in the carrot cake. It is frustrating cuz it's so close, but it's not there.  - Yess!

But! I'm just happy that Korea has carrot cake at all because Japan doesn't and - You can't find it anywhere  Nooo and

Carrot cake is probably my favorite type of cake

Carrot cake, zucchini cake, I like cakes and vegetables...apparently

but yeah, Japan doesn't have it and I really missed it.  So, it's cool that we could get it anywhere in Korea

really. We're gonna head to a cafe down the road now called "a twosome place"

It's a really weird name, but it's one of my favorite chain cafes in Korea

They have really nice desserts and their drinks are really nice as well and they do soy milk

Soy milk for all their lattes and stuff. So I really like that

I got an iced earl grey they use TWG-tea here, which I had never heard of

until one of you guys very generously sent me some in the mail a couple years ago, and I love it. Greg got:

Well like a scone or... - Oh okay, yeah okay

I was like, you like dipping toast in it or something?! The fuck?

You know what it is? - Is this for the same place we went to?

Yeah! Greg and I went to make an appointment at my nail salon

We were gonna go together and get our nails done. Like he's never had his nails professionally done

But they didn't have an open time that would work with Greg's schedule so...

I got you a gift certificate so you can go whenever you want or we can go together. It's good for years

Back home for a bit gonna get some editing done before I go out to the event today, which I'm super excited for

Warning you in advance. There will be lots of fangirling in this vlog

So I've got lots of videos left from the Japan trip to edit. Are you guys enjoying them so far?

I really hope you are I had such a blast and I hope that's coming across in the videos

And I also really hope that it's giving you lots of places to add to your bucket list for when you visit Japan

there were so many cool spots on our trip and

Yeah lots of new stuff for me too. So it was very exciting. I'm also starting Hungarian this week

I posted on Twitter that it's one of my new year's resolutions. Two things

I want to do next year are:  bring my Hungarian back up to a level where I can have a conversation with my grandpa

Once a month, maybe five six, kilo each  (Sharla) the bread?!

That's better (explains better pronunciation)

And then my second goal was to start playing piano again

I played a lot of piano when I was younger and I miss it. It's lots of fun

So I think I'm gonna get myself an electric piano and get back into playing again. Today's video is sponsored by Skillshare

I worked with them before and I really liked their website

So I'm happy to share it with you guys Skillshare is an online learning community with over

25,000 different classes that you guys can choose from to learn new skills, like design or business or

languages. There's lots of Japanese stuff on there and I was really stoked when I saw that they had a Hungarian course

It's a really simple course taught by a hungarian woman, which is cool because my teacher in university was male

So it's nice to have a female voice to copy. I know I've got several hungarian viewers

So I'm gonna get you guys to tell me how I'm doing. I'll test some of my hungarian with you in a second here

Skillshare is gonna give away a two-month free trial to the first

500 of you guys that sign up using the link in my description box and then if you decide to continue on with a subscription

afterwards it's only about ten dollars a month. So consider signing up and getting a head start on your New Year's resolutions

Okay. Are you guys ready for me to butcher some hungarian?

Here we go. I'll do the numbers 1 to 10 for you.  And hungarian viewers: please tell me what I can improve on.

Hungarian's a pretty difficult language. Apparently, it's one of the most difficult languages in the world

languages but I have the motivation to learn it because I really want to be able to speak with my grandpa in hungarian

So that's pushing me to - to try really hard. Alright guys

I'm gonna get some editing done and then in a couple hours

We'll be off to Hongdae to go to an event and I'll tell you guys what it is when we get there

because the place I'm going I need to be there in, like now

The surprise is, that I am on my way to see a free concert by...

Korean artists there is two that I really like.  I love lots of Korean music. I like kpop

I like all styles of Korean music really, but there's two artists that I really love: g-dragon and

But it's the next best thing. We're going to see Junoflo live

He has a concert in front of a store here in Hongdae today. It starts at 6 p.m. and it's like

5:58...so shit. The station was so crowded. I've never seen so many people there Hongdae like the

Shibuya of Seoul if you've been to Japan if you want to compare it to a Japanese area there is young people everywhere

It's like the fun place to hang out at nighttime on the weekend.
