  • Hey guys, I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Nancy

  • We just met like couple hours ago. She's in Korea for a week. Packing up her stuff cuz she moved. Where'd you move to?

  • Nowhere in particular. Just traveling around the world

  • That's pretty cool though. That's awesome

  • So we're having a picnic in the park. I found this really awesome park

  • I'm gonna show you guys around after because there's so much nice stuff to see here. Oh, yeah, don't mind the screaming

  • There's actually an amusement park right behind us. We're gonna have a picnic full of sakura snacks

  • cherry blossom snacks because I'm in Korea now

  • But they came out with so many cute cherry blossom flavored snacks this year. They're so adorable

  • Yeah, I don't think there were this many last year

  • Yeah

  • I think this is the first year that they're like really going for it. The pink packaging is so cute. These ones

  • Cherry blossom popcorn are apparently vegan so that's really exciting

  • Meagan told me that, and then

  • Honey butter cherry blossom flavored chips, that's lots of flavors in one

  • it will be very interesting to see how these taste and

  • They're just like some kind of wafer cookie

  • Yeah, the names really weird it's called Heim.

  • Yeah I haven't figured out what the Heim means, but the package is really cute. Actually what I'm most excited for are these

  • Sakura flavored sodas from the convenience store. This one is just cherry blossom flavor and then

  • this one is

  • Cherry blossom and green grape. Last we have

  • We can't eat these today, but I just want to show them to you guys. They're Bibimen, but they have little

  • sakura

  • fish cakes to

  • Sprinkle on top of it afterwards so I thought we could open the package and see what they look like

  • My husband could eat it later

  • That's just really fun

  • This is the most interesting thing I think

  • I never thought they would come out with something like this

  • They're really creative. Alright, what should we try first?

  • Should we pour the drinks?

  • Yeah sure

  • Yeah, we got some cute cherry blossom cups from Daiso

  • Better be pink or I'll be disappointed. Oh, it's cute. Yeah, I'm so glad it's pink

  • Well it looks delicious. Let's hope it tastes good. Yeah, oh it smells so nice

  • Does it smell like cherry blossoms?

  • It smells like, I want to say peach. Why does it smell like peach? Smells like a perfume like a body spray

  • Wonder if it'll be green.

  • This one smells like grapes

  • Oh what, it's like milky. What the heck. Oh, it's got chunks

  • Is that a good thing?

  • Grape chunks

  • Don't know how I feel about the word chunks

  • Looks-wise this one gets my vote. Yeah It's kind of cool how they're different though

  • Cheers

  • Mmm. Yeah, it's chunky. Oh it's chunks of grape

  • This one's really sweet. Is your's really sweet?

  • It's quite sweet

  • This is like candy that was melted into liquid form

  • Oh my god. It's sweet but it's not overpowering this one

  • Really like the chunks. I think it might be aloe vera. It reminds me of those aloe vera drinks that have

  • Yeah, the chunks in the bottom and it's quite nice

  • I feel like this one taste better, but I haven't tried it yet

  • They're completely different. Wow I thought they were gonna be similar but they're so different

  • Yeah I think it is aloe vera

  • I kind of like it though. This would make a really nice ice-cream float because then it would like water down the candy flavor

  • these are the cherry blossoms popcorn you can get them at the GS25 convenience store

  • and they still have them even though there's no cherry blossoms left. They're still celebrating with cute snacks

  • so if you're in Korea you can still get these and the sodas were from there as well

  • I really hope that these have actual cherry blossom smell, and they're not like

  • Cause I feel like, this didn't taste like cherry blossoms. Yeah it tastes more like cherry or strawberry or something

  • Hmm, that smell really good

  • But it smells like strawberries

  • yeah

  • I'm really bad at describing smells so I'm just like yeah

  • It's smells like

  • Strawberry milk

  • It totally does smell like strawberry milk

  • Here is our wonderful cherry blossom popcorn that doesn't smell like cherry blossoms, but at least the smell is really good

  • And they're pink

  • Yeah they're really cute

  • Wow that's sweet

  • It's kind of sour too - It is kind of sour

  • Yeah weird

  • It's like when you get a strawberry that's not quite sweet, and it's got that tartness to it. It kind of tastes like that

  • Don't know why I keep on eating it though

  • We're addicted. It's like, it is yummy

  • Definitely not bad

  • I don't know though. I don't think I would buy this again

  • I don't think I would purchase it to eat it

  • for fun

  • It's nice, but I kind of just want to put it in a bowl and smell it. Like have it smell up my room

  • cause it smells really nice - like potpourri

  • Oh my god I should totally try that

  • So you guys probably know that honey butter chips are like a big thing in Korea

  • They have been for the last few years, and they have honey butter everything

  • almonds

  • peanuts

  • they don't look any different, and they don't smell any different

  • Can you read any of this

  • Like here. There it says it's sweet

  • It's really sweeeeeet

  • Oh wait, I think down here it says. Yeah, it says it includes some

  • 0.5%

  • cherry blossom

  • extract maybe

  • They smell quite good

  • She doesn't look impressed

  • I mean they're good but they just taste like

  • the regular ones?

  • yup I think so

  • Like really small amount of, like a little bit of floral

  • Cherry blossom with Heim

  • Yeah, it reminds me a German every time I hear it, but I still don't know what it means

  • They're cute

  • It definitely tastes like cherry

  • A little bit on the sweet side. I think it's good - Okay. These ones get a thumbs up from Nancy

  • These ones are there definitely still in the store these ones you can get at like a regular supermarket

  • Last thing let's see what the little cherry blossoms look like inside this beebeep beebeep beebeep

  • Bibimmyeon. Bibimmyeon. In Japanese it's Bibimen

  • So I always call them that

  • Where is it?

  • Where's the prize?

  • That's the sauce. It's not that one

  • Where is it!? No!

  • Where are the the little flowers?

  • There's literally nothing in here!

  • Is it just this?

  • Well, that's disappointing

  • We will inspect the package. Maybe it comes with like one little

  • resealable thing in the big pack

  • Disappointed in you

  • To be continued at the end of the video

  • We're just gonna eat some kimbap now

  • Yeah, and enjoy the view of the people on the roller coaster

  • And then I'm gonna show you guys around this area because it's so cool, so we're in

  • Seokchon Lake Park, so there's a pretty lake behind us

  • And then there's Lotte World an amusement park and then just behind this year is Lotte mall

  • And this huge shopping area. Lotte Mart, Lotte mall, a bunch of things. Oh my god

  • So Nancy's really good at Korean so she ordered some kimbap for us

  • How long did it take you to get comfortable with your pronunciation when you say?

  • I really have no idea probably like during this year when I moved to Seoul. Like my second year

  • Yeah okay so it took a while

  • Because that's my biggest struggle you guys like even when I feel like I know the words nobody understands me

  • And I think it's because I'm pronunciation really sucks

  • Look at that beautiful

  • Kimbap

  • All right we're done our picnics!

  • I'm gonna show you guys around so this is the amusement park in the background Lotte world

  • There's a castle here. Apparently you can't go in it though. I think it's just for decoration. I guess like the one in Disneyland

  • There's like a little transport train thingy that brings you over from the indoor part of the amusement park to the outdoor part

  • Yeah it looks fun

  • I don't like roller coasters, but I feel like I could handle that thing. Nancy on the other hand really likes them. She's crazy

  • This roller coaster does look pretty cool

  • I'm not gonna lie it goes through a cave, and it's kind of neat how it's over a lake

  • It's just a pretty cool setup they have here

  • It's a lot smaller than Disneyland, but I will visit it one day and see what it's like

  • That looks like a level of rollercoaster that I could handle

  • Think one day I will go on it. I'll let you guys know how it is. What else do they have to see here?

  • There's a couple other rides like the ones that go up to the top of the tower and then drop down

  • Have you been on that one?

  • No those kind of scare me

  • Oh so you don't like those ones. That's interesting. That's one I've been on like the Tower of Terror

  • at Disneyland. I've been on that and this looks. You know kind of like the same

  • That looked really fast. This kind of looks like the same deal

  • I think it's called like Gyro Drop

  • Yeah Gyro Drop. Does it spin?

  • No I think it just goes up really really high then

  • And then drops fast yeah, I heard they're putting like a virtual-reality

  • Portion to it so even though you're only up like a certain height if you wear the glasses

  • And it looks like you're way up high. Yeah, so it sounds terrifying

  • So there was a cherry blossom festival here that ended on April 13th a couple days ago, so we just missed it

  • But I did manage to come here and take photos of the cherry blossoms so I'll insert some here

  • So you guys can pretend that there's like a really pretty cherry blossom background for this video

  • But there is one

  • Cherry blossom tree still blooming, so I'm gonna take Nancy over to see this one

  • I was here yesterday

  • And there was a lineup of people lining up to take a picture in front of this tree

  • There's like ice cream and over by the pretty tree there was a diner kind of thing

  • There's lots to do here. I really like this area

  • I come here quite often for Pokemon because I find it's a really good area for Pokemon

  • We found the tree it still exist. There's only a few people taking photos today

  • There's like petals flying

  • So this is the area where the bus car was yesterday on this little stage in front of the lake. It was so nice

  • and then everyone was sitting on the stairs here looking

  • more cute things to take pictures by

  • I took some nice photos here the other day

  • Show it to you guys. I wish I knew more Koreans. I could actually read about the place and tell you about it

  • At least you could enjoy the beauty of it for now

  • This would have been a nice area for our picnic. It's cute

  • So there's little lanterns up everywhere and

  • I wasn't sure what they were but Nancy said that it's Buddha's birthday

  • It might have passed though. I think

  • I'm not sure what the date of that is

  • But she told me that it's actually a holiday here. Some people get the day off

  • It's cute they have them all over town

  • Wonder if they have a celebration or something

  • Maybe at the temples

  • Oh yeah that would make sense

  • I'm not sure if there's an actual temple around this area or not

  • So we found the temple the mystery is solved, that's why there's decorations all over this area of town

  • You can kind of see it. In between here

  • That's so weird. It's like on top of a business building or something

  • That's cool

  • So we were just looking for a cafe to chill at for a little bit, and we found Billy Angel

  • Which is actually like one of my favorite cafes that I've found so far because they have this rose mojito

  • It's actually like really overpowering in taste, but it looks so pretty and it tastes really yummy for like the first

  • I don't know 10 sips or something before you get sick of it. But Nancy has never been to Billy Angel

  • Yeah, so we gotta go because they have really cool-looking drinks. Let me show you guys the menu

  • This is the one I was talking about. It has actual roses in it. It's so pretty

  • Then they have other drinks, but I never get them because they're not as pretty

  • Look at the rainbow crepe

  • I think their bestsellers are like the carrot cake and their red velvet cake

  • They're nice teas. I guess they have their own teas

  • Yeah I want to check though which brands

  • Yeah I want to buy this. They probably sell it

  • Ok we're gonna go back to my place and we're going to

  • Examine those noodles. I'm so curious. I going to be really bad if there's no cherry blossom flakes in that package at home

  • Ok we are home. It's time to see what's going on with these noodles

  • I can show you the package and it says something about cherry blossoms, I wasn't imagining it

  • There is a packet of them ok

  • Only one?

  • Well that's really sad

  • Six packages of ramen with one pack of this

  • I guess you can only have the fun cherry blossom noodles once. Well, that's disappointing

  • Aww they're adorable

  • They give you a lot so you could use it on all of them

  • Alright well. The bibimmyeon are just like the regular ones with one package of flowers

  • Would not recommend

  • We're finishing off our day together and Nancy's gonna go on her travels now

  • Yeah to the airport

  • So if you guys want to follow her on her adventures check out her channel

  • I will link her down below. Her videos are really fun

  • She has lots of really cool videos from when she was in Korea, too

  • So like go back and watch her old ones as well. I learned lots about Korea from watching hers alright guys

  • I will see you soon. Thanks for watching bye

Hey guys, I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Nancy
