KOREA DIARIES 💌 days in my life in korea- cafe hopping, noryangjin fish market & shopping in seou

Hi guys, good morning, it is day 6, day 7, I don't even know what day it is, but Vanessa is still sleeping, so that's why I'm whispering. I don't know why, but this entire time that I've been in Korea, or just like in this time zone, I've been thriving. I've been such a morning person. I think I've been averaging a 7am wake up, just like naturally. But anyways, I'm just going to grab all my tech and go to a Starbucks to edit for the next hour, and then I'm going to come up and get ready for the rest of the day. So, let's just get productive. Mobile charger, phone, computer, headphones, external hard drive. I feel like I'm going to the library right now. And also a wallet. Okay, this is just my outfit of the day, this dress is from Princess Polly, and then this I got in Korea. Let me just throw my hair up in a clip. I'm going to grab a mask, and then let's get going. So right now I'm just in Olive Young, which is kind of like a Korean Sephora. But right now I'm looking for a cushion foundation, and also just like a good eyeliner. I really want to try a Clio foundation, but just the shades are so limited. These are the foundation shades, and darker than the darkest shade. Out of us, we took it in the wrong direction. But we got it this time. So the cafe that we're at right now, called Mildung Cafe, is actually one where you can send yourself a letter and receive it like one year later. I've been to a few restaurants where you like can send a postcard to someone. This one's like $6.50. So I think it's really sweet. Especially just because I don't know when I'm going to be back in Korea. So me and V are going to do that right now. And it's also only like 4,000 won, which is like $4. So like this is like the station. This is basically the instructions to sealing the letters. And these are basically just all the different dates on which letters have been sent out. July 25th. This would be ours right here. And everything's also vegan. I'll do... I think I'll do red. Do red. And international address correctly. Write down the date you want to get it. Minus 14 days. Okay. I just got an iced matcha latte. Double shot iced latte. And then I got a vegan chocolate cruffle, which looks amazing. So this is the envelope. And this is the letter I picked. My message just goes on the back. And then we also just got the wax for the wax deal. Good? Hi guys. Voiceover Brianna is back. I haven't done a voiceover in a Korean diary yet, so I thought this would be the perfect time. I'm having a really wholesome and reflective moment writing this letter that I'm going to receive in a year from now. I'll be halfway through my first year of graduate school. I'm going to be 21. And I'm also just writing down all the emotions that I'm feeling on this trip. It's the first time I've flown by myself. The first time I've ever spent my own money on an international trip. I've never even been to Asia. So it was just a really big deal. And I would not have been able to do any of this without you guys' support. So I just want to say thank you. Yeah. Sabotage of the day is filling hot wax on my hand when I was trying to move the candle. Oh, it's upside down. And this is my envelope. And I'll get it in one year from now. Long booties. We're done with the letter. It's time for lunch. So right now we're just in a Seongsu pop-up shop. And it's like a concept store, kind of. And it's so stunning, guys. And it smells really good. I just got served some tea. Just have some tea. Oh, it's just water. I don't actually remember the name. And now we're going to an all-you-can-eat K-Barbecue that also has shellfish for Vanessa. It's really popular on YouTube and TikTok, actually. So I'm super excited. Because I actually haven't had Korean barbecue since being in Korea. Which seems like kind of a cardinal sin. So we just have some cheese. And then also two types of pasta here. More clams and shells. It also just looks like clams, just with different sauces. We found out that what's in the tin is tomato juice. So now we're just going to meet Katie. And we're going to have like a little picnic at a hot burger. These are actually huge. So we're just having a little picnic by Han River. Katie just ordered in some bingsu with all the different toppings. So while Grace and Katie get cutlery and stuff, we're just going to set this up. I'm literally craving this after having hot seafood. For the matcha bingsu, we have the syrup to put on top. We're going to go to I-Park Mall and do some shopping. And then go to the other side of the Han River and go to a fish market at night. Where you can pick out the seafood and then they cook it for you and eat it upstairs in the restaurant. I see it in so many mukbangs. Look at how many floors this mall is. Like what the heck. Jess and I haven't eaten today yet. So we're just trying to find a place to grab a coffee and then also just get a snack. So for lunch, I decided to get one amu rice and a Korean fried chicken with rice. I'm back in another Gangnam store with all the figurines. Like the Nendoroids. I found the JJK cast again. But they're literally sold out of everybody. Aki is sold out in the back. So I actually just picked up one Megumi right here. For my friend Pernod, we watch anime together like literally every week. And then I also took Naruto, but they only have three. Literally the coolest ones are sold out. Like I really would have wanted this one or even this one, like the Ninetales. This store is literally stacked. There's so many things in here. I didn't even think Inuyasha was that popular. Because I'm surprised that they have these figurines and that they're actually sold out. I would have loved to have a little Kagome Inuyasha on my desk. And Eren and Levi are sold out. Everything in this case is sold out actually. I'm so tired that we're taking a small break in the kids section. I look like a freaking princess right now. And we're going to the fish market. Look at this. Oh my gosh. It's so cute. I want one. It's so cute. It's exactly like all the videos I've seen on YouTube. There's different like size shrimp and like prawns as well. Why is it smudging me? That's snow crab. And then what I was just holding is king crab. This looks so good. We have grilled abalone as well. Like it's so thick. I'm wearing all white. Guys, we absolutely beasted that entire meal. I'll insert pictures. It was so good. And now we're on the way back home. We're just going to swimming right now. And this is like our fourth time having it in eight days. Root Cafe. And I just got a salmon poke bowl. I literally beasted that. They moved me four shades lighter. Wait, this one's cute. This one. It actually turned out really cute.
