Earthquake in Korea: Safety Words!

There was an earthquake in Korea last night off the coast of Ulsan (slightly north of Busan)

(minor, no huge damage reported but there is a risk of mud slides!)

Here's the word for earthquake:

지진 - Ji-jin

Here are a few words to know if you're in an earthquake in Korea:

도와주세요! - Please help!

(doh-wah-ju-seh-yo)

주의 - Caution

(joo-ui)

비상구 - Emergency Exit

(bi-sang-gu)

기다려요 - Wait, stay

(gi-da-ryeo-yo)
But really, if you're experiencing an earthquake, find something hard and stable to hide under. Running around trying to get out of a building can actually hurt you more as you might fall or be hit by falling objects. Try to wait out the shaking, then find a way out.

Have you ever felt an earthquake?

I'm from Southern California so I've been in quite a few :/

ALRIGHT Y'ALL WE'RE GOING TO KOREA
Screw Kpop, I'm going to Korea for THIS. ITS CALLED CHEESE A LOT. AND IT LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN. You just get a little basket of fried potatoes, sausage (i'll pass), jalapenos and bread. As if that doesn't sound delicious enough...they put a mound of melted cheese on top. LOOK AT HOW THEY PUT IT ON. I AM SO IN LOVE. WHO IS WITH ME?!
There is a Cereal Cafe in Seoul!
Midnight in Seoul is a cereal lover's dream come true. I headed over to this new cereal bar this weekend and loaded up on SO MUCH SUGAR. You can mix cereals, choose toppings, different milks, etc and it was SO GOOD! I got cocoa puffs + reeses puffs + bananas + soy milk + whipped cream + cookies + choco sauce. I was practically shaking from all the sugar hahahahahaha cafe here: https://goo.gl/iQyW1s You can also find me here: Tumblr Instagram Twitter Facebook SnapChat: cari.cakez
Busan - a get away trip.
Recently, I have been tired with the busy life of Seoul. So I decide to make a small trip to Busan and few more southern costline city of Korea. I am really surpised how the Korean loves to eat raw fish. They tend to believe that for the seafood, if you eat it raw, the taste of the ocean would still remain freshly in the fish, rather than cook it with some spicy. So i went to Busan fish market to give it a try. It was good experience for me though.

Kpop, Korean Food, and Gangwon-Do
A little over a year ago, I was on a bus to Eastern Korea. I had never been to Gangwon-do, and only knew that that is where the winter Olympics would be held in 2018. My friend was visiting Korea and wanted to see at least ONE kpop performance while she was here, so my best friend and I found free tickets to a concert about 3 hours outside of Seoul. We took the bus through fields of golden rice (the rice changes colors in fall and its gorgeous) and stopped at a rest stop to get AMAZING cheese and sweet potato ddeokbokki. Eventually, we made it to the ski resort where the concert was being held. It was a great show! We saw tons of groups including BTS, SHINee, GOT7, EXID, VIXX, CLC and more! I'm so glad my friend got to see all these groups and I'm extra glad that I was able to experience how great Gangwon-do is :)

Speaking English in Korea
So many of us will want to visit Korea even before we reach fluency, so I found this experiment pretty interesting. Keep in mind, Korean schools force students to study English starting in elementary school, its a huge portion of their university entrance exams (which basically makes or breaks their life) and most parents will try to get their kids English tutors if they can afford it. One man asks random Korean strangers questions in English to see their reactions! Does this make you feel less nervous about traveling? Would you feel comfortable speaking English to strangers?

First Blossoms in Seoul and a Cherry Blossom Latte?!
Spring has finally reach Seoul! To celebrate I visited the first apricot blossoms to bloom and then grabbed a giant, BEAUTIFUL cherry blossom latte from my favorite cafe. The footage of the blossoms is super calming so I suggest at least watching the last half of this video if you're having a stressful day :) PS thank you to everyone who helped me out on the last video, its never nice to see so much hate on the internet but you guys always remind me there's a lot more good in the world^^ Is it feeling like spring wherever you are in the world!?

Visit Busan With Me: My Weekend in Korea's Second Largest City
I'm from San Diego, so I grew up right next to the beach. The ocean has always been really important to me (even though I barely go waist-deep) and I do miss it a lot when I'm in Seoul. This weekend though, I traveled to Busan which is Korea's second largest city and sits right on the south eastern tip of the country. No matter where you are in the city you can either see the ocean, hear the ocean, or at least see one of the many canals that juts through the city. I wish I had more time there to really explore and even though I've been there before, I haven't seen even a fraction of this gorgeous place! Here's my weekend in Busan, I hope you enjoy!
