so how about 1600 a lot of you come to
Korea and a lot of you might
instinctively go what every toy does a
hotel we voice at Korea's cheaper but
hotels are not really that much cheaper
than anywhere else in the world in my
opinion
the next level down from a hotel which
are very expensive is a motel these are
kind of but not generally what you'd
stay long-term in is usually where
people go to hook up so we'll do a video
about that later on they run depending
on the area let's say like 60 to 80 or
more on a weekday in Seoul let's say
around nine area averagely but it get
more expensive on a week you might think
well how about an Airbnb I can just go
stay in an Airbnb because an Airbnb
might be cheaper and maybe I don't have
a nice apartment for myself from my
friends and say there yeah you could
stay in an Airbnb sure but there's a
cheaper option and that's what we talked
about today
this option is amazing and I've never
considered it myself because I I knew I
knew off I knew of the ledge but I never
decided to go understand one myself I
don't know why happy is gonna spray more
about it the dick is going to blow your
mind
this option it's not a budget traveler
this option if for the student this
option is not for rich folk like we
can't you know we're not ready to accept
million option for us this option will
cost you anywhere from $200 to two
hundred and seventy dollars maybe three
hundred dollars a month a month a month
now having said that you can you can
kind of expect what you're getting but
200 to $300 a month could be in lesson
time goals
she won or go she tell they're kind of
the same thing wonder it's a goshiwon
where's the ghost tale it's basically
like a dorm room so they've taken a
building they've taken maybe three or
four floors and then they've cut up the
floor into this tiny closet like rooms
when I say closet like I mean closet
like we're talking tiny tiny dorm style
room take a look
[Music]
this particular room is almost exactly a
square measuring in at 208 by 208
centimeters from board to M the bed is
192 centimeters long and 82 centimeters
wide most rooms will come with am a
fridge a small TV some storage cubbies
and a small closet you'll also be
provided a dry rag to hang clothes you
may wish to wash during your stay so as
you can see is nothing fancy the one
that we just showed is Lydia to me a
bike to me a room however but $200 a
month which we get one plus two hunters
are not aging through on by the way so
so might be more expensive to be honest
seven bucks a day similar to say and in
this one you get free kimchi and you
free right and free coffee which is
reporting credible cuz considering that
when I first came to Korea I said if two
weeks and I stayed in a motel for the
second half I already put like a hotel
for the first few days I was paying
seventy eighty thousand nine Tracey's a
price of three in a bit days I could
have stayed in the go she wanted for a
oh
I'll get extender got excited build my
milk tea that's congruent so basically
in English pound right now of stay at
135 pounds a month to stay in a place a
room by yourself my room share the
shared bathroom share toilet but I just
can't deal with price the price is
incredible we're not just saying oh it's
cheap you can stay here you can afford
anything else
I personally stayed in a goshiwon for 10
months when a look at maybe nine months
when I came on exchange in 2010 so I'm
putting my money where my mouth is or I
don't know if that's the route is that
the line putting money where out for
money whatever you know and it was fine
you know like it's just a place for you
to sleep if you come to Korea to stay in
a room the mantle does not come to Korea
right the whole point of the room is
somewhere for you stay for you to put
your luggage and to sleep and for you
ladies or gentlemen that want to get a
little bit freaky with the locals or
maybe the non-local for that one night
just go higher out the motel room you
don't need to have the whole
so motel or being be for your entire
stay there are rules and restrictions
you can't bring two guests over it can't
be hanging out with Jess you can't make
a lot of noise these are mainly for
students which is very little money and
he just handed over them you have a
little dead pretty sore can you study
you go to work whatever any sleep does
they do it is but beyond it is a very
good budget option or if you wanted to
be really smart really cool because all
you need is a passport some money you
could get more for these across the city
do you get one in Gardner you get one
hundred and if you'd like I don't to
spend $40 on a taxi at night why not
spend $200 on a month of ghost you want
and just walk out after the club walked
off and if you get lucky just killed old
motel smart that thing smart so here's
what you do in the beginning there is
that shoe area you're gonna have to take
off your shoes because the ones you take
up issues everything else is either
slipper Bay so you can walk around bare
feet that's up to you when you go to a
Goshen one usually you pay how the front
in Korean that it's some food whatever
it'll cost is 2 and abouts during the
bucks cash you pay the next month
upfront you stay longer they will give
you a pro-rated stay for example if it's
$200 for 30 days divide 200 by 30 and
then they'll give you that yeah yeah the
rest location but at a go shoe on you do
need to stay for at least one month
before they give you the prorate you'll
have to sign a contract you will need
your passport your name your birthday
and that's it
most crucial in the gorget else will
have a code that will give you to get
into the actual goshiwon itself and then
you'll get a key to get into your
personal room some go she wants have
your little cubbyhole for your shoes
that you could put your shoes in there's
different sized rooms the smaller one
which is only I think maybe 57 meters
small or on one side with $200 and in a
slightly bigger room which is 2 meters
by 2 meters $250 per month
incredible I can't believe it hey Ashley
can't believe it is stupid money it's
stupid not to do it I may as well get
one everywhere and every city paid all
up is travel around saying go showing
we do in your room anyway huh nothing to
get Jack open please you ain't do not
now don't stay in the room
get out explore career but if you want
someone to stay so what you want is that
for long term people jogging around
backpackers and stuff pretty good this
is a Goshen one episode we're going to
show you what five hundred fifty a month
looks like we're going to hopefully
we'll be able to find the Francis and to
show you what more expensive officers
looks like as we fancy but we enrich the
we live in anything more than 550 months
thank you very much for watching and as
always stay fancy
