  • Hey guys! Welcome to our ~mysterious~ vacation destination.

  • I'm going to give you guys some hints;

  • let's play a little game and see if you can guess where we are.

  • 'Kay, hint number one! It is VERY cold here

  • Well, I consider it very cold. It's a lot colder than Japan.

  • It's about -10C (14F) and there's some snow on the ground which is exciting!

  • Hint number 2, which I'm very thankful for: the floors in the place we are staying are heated

  • and that's a very common thing in this country, to have heated floors in your home.

  • Hint number 3; they drive on the RIGHT side of the road here, which is the opposite to Japan.

  • Not sure if you guys noticed in my vlogs but they do drive on the left side of the road in Japan.

  • And hint number 4! Here is what we had for lunch today.

  • Can you recognize where these foods are from?

  • Did you guess it? :D

  • I'm guessing most of you can figure out where we are, but if you didn't, we are in Seoul, Korea!

  • We're spending ten days in Korea with Keyboard-San's family, actually

  • Yes, he's Korean! Lots of you guys probably assumed he's Japanese

  • because we speak Japanese to each other in my vlogs

  • He doesn't speak very much but when you do hear him it's usually in Japanese or probably always.

  • And we speak in Japanese because he doesn't speak English and I don't speak Korean

  • So, Japanese is actually our only common language.

  • Which makes things interesting, I guess! (laughs)

  • It's a good excuse for both of us to keep up our Japanese, so in that way it's really good.

  • In the future we both plan on learning each other's languages

  • we're slowly working on it, both of us, keyword being "slowly"

  • I do really want to be fluent in Korean, sometime hopefully in the near future.

  • And he currently is learning English right now

  • But anyways, yeah! So we're spending 10 days in Seoul with his family

  • I'm so excited, cuz I really love Korea, I love Korean food, I love exploring Korea, because lots of it's still really new to me.

  • I have been here, uh quite a few times. I do come here quite often just because it's so close to Japan

  • it's really quite cheap and easy to fly over here and spend like a week here

  • So I have done that several times, but there's still SO much I haven't seen here

  • So I'm really excited to film some vlogs with you guys this week

  • and I've got some really good friends here as well, so I'm going to be visiting them

  • and I think it's going to be a really exciting ten days, so I hope you guys enjoy these videos!

  • Please give me some feedback down below if you enjoy my travel videos

  • where I'm outside Japan. I hope you do because it's a lot of fun for me

  • It's nice to like kind of change it up a bit and not just be sitting at home doing the usual every day routine

  • I love being out and exploring and like finding new things along with you guys

  • it's really cool to experience things for the first time and I get to share that with you guys on camera

  • So, I really hope you do enjoy these vlogs.

  • Today we're going to Yongsan which is the Korean "Akihabara" I guess you could call it.

  • It's Seoul's electronic town; they've got like computers, computer parts,

  • all the electronics you could think of, like household appliances.

  • And most importantly, or at least in my opinion, video games!

  • They sell video games, and there is a certain video game that I'm on the hunt for

  • I found it online a couple weeks ago and I've just been drooling over it like

  • the game play videos on Youtube

  • And I cannot wait to get my hands on this game.

  • It's several years old and I'm kind of worried I'm not going to be able to find a copy

  • But pray for me! Because I really want this (laughs)

  • and I think it would just be a lot of fun to have.

  • So we're going to head out the door now and hope that I find my game!

  • As you can see the weather has not warmed up here.

  • Its really really really cold! And the ground is covered in ice (laughs)

  • We just got out of this huge building behind us that had like

  • must have had at least like 400 different computer shops selling computer parts

  • and accessories. So it was pretty cool.

  • Now we're looking for the game store!

  • (Keyboard-san speaks first)

  • (loud kpop over speakers in shop lol)

  • (Sharla)

  • (background shop noise and music over shop speakers)

  • (Sharla)

  • (Sharla) Found it!

  • (Keyboard-san)

  • So we've been at this video game shop for like an hour

  • bargaining with the guy trying to get a cheap price

  • I'm going to get a Wii, like an old school Wii, not a WiiU

  • And they're going to put Final Fantasy stickers on it for me

  • And I'm going to get the KPop games and some other dance games that I wanted

  • So do I want the Mario stickers or do I want the Final Fantasy stickers?

  • (Sharla laughing)

  • We're waiting for a taxi now and we're going to go to a bakery that I saw on Instagram

  • So I'm dying to go there now I'm finally in Seoul

  • So we're going to go there and grab some sweets to eat

  • and then I think we're going to go back home for a little bit and drop off the Wii and stuff

  • since it's pretty heavy; I don't want to carry it around with me all day shopping

  • (Keyboard-san just telling the driver where to go and stuffs)

  • (Taxi driver asking Keyboard-san questions and he's saying 'yeah' etc)

  • (no dialogue)

  • (no dialogue)

  • We found a bunch of UFO catchers (Sharla laughs)

  • This like tiny game center on the side of the road and it's all Pokemon!

  • (Sharla) VENUSAUR!!

  • (no dialogue)

  • (no dialogue)

  • (Both) OH-ho ho ho

  • (Sharla first)

  • (Sharla) Dammit! We were close with the gengar

  • We found it finally~

  • It's called, Cafe "The Bread Blue"

  • I'll put the address down below so you guys can give that to the taxi driver

  • (Sharla speaking)

  • (Sharla reading labels) Soy bean powder... (then she speaks next in Japanese)

  • (Sharla) Choco-chip bread...

  • (Sharla basically says this is this one? In Japanese)

  • Ah scone~

  • Cranberry scone...

  • (Keyboard-san)

  • (Sharla) Ah.

  • (Keyboard-san first)

  • (no dialogue just baked goods~~)

  • Oh muffin!

  • MUFFIN!

  • (Sharla) Sweet potato

  • (Sharla) We went a little overboard, it came to like $45

  • 44,500 won which is about $45

  • But we got a lot of stuff; we're going to give some to his family, too

  • and I wanted to try a bunch of it, cuz

  • I won't get another chance to come here most likely, at least for awhile

  • (Sharla) They gave us a free melon pan

  • It's got like melon creme inside

  • And then I got the carrot cake! I love carrot cake and it's so hard to find it in Japan so I'm having like a withdrawal

  • And Keyboard-san got this pizza roll

  • The pizza bread's really good, I definitely recommend that you get the pizza bread

  • We got the chocolate latte

  • I'm pretty sure it's just like, a hot chocolate. I don't think there's any coffee in it.

  • It's really good~

  • We just finished eating and we're trying to figure out if we should go shopping or go home.

  • It's already 7 o'clock, so we could just go home and chill.

  • Or we might go to Adidas 'cause there's an Adidas close by.

  • (no dialogue)

  • We ended up just coming home; we didn't go to Adidas.

  • It was too cold and I really didn't want to walk there (laughs)

  • It was like 600 meters away

  • which isn't far but when it's like -12 outside

  • and you don't have a scarf and earmuffs

  • it's really freaking cold

  • so we're just going to chill inside tonight

  • probably watch a movie on TV or something

  • so i'm going to say goodnight here; Thanks for watching guys

  • Please let me know if you like this video leave a thumbs up or down and I'll see you soon, bye!
