Good morning, everyone from Seoul it feels so good to be back. I'm finally over the jetlag
I fully adjusted to the Korea time zone and
Good news is it's looking very sunny today the moment I landed it was very gloomy
rained a lot and I just didn't want to film videos in such a dark mood and
Now that I feel like myself again. I wanted to do a sit-down video giving you guys an update on my
apartment situation
so I'm moving and
I know I didn't really have the chance to update you guys ever since I filmed the apartment hunting video
But it's happening apartment. Hunting was so stressful first off
It is extremely hot during the summer time
and so walking from one apartment to another it was a
struggle and to a lot of the places weren't big enough or it was too pricey and I just felt really
Discouraged but I finally found an apartment that I will be showing you guys
Later on in the upcoming weeks because I will be moving out of this apartment very very soon
And so I'm gonna show you guys the moving process because now I have so much stuff like a couch to move a refrigerator
TV stands desks beds
So I'm gonna show you guys that process and I'm going to film the current apartment tour
Because there are rooms that I didn't really share officially on my channels. So stay tuned
No less static intros outros
today's John Day is just going to be a sit-down and
A little bit of the serious type of video, I guess so before getting started
I wanted to cover the three different options you guys have for an apartment
The first is worse' which is a monthly rent
You pay a deposit and then you pay monthly
The second is Chauncey where you pay a bigger
Deposit and you don't have to pay that monthly rent and the third option is to buy the place
So the most frequently asked that I received was why are the deposits so high?
Basically the landlord earns money by investing in it and they make money off of interest
every month
so that's why the deposits are so high deposits can range from your monthly rent price all the way to
Six hundred thousand dollars, and I'm not exaggerating with you
it really
depends on
How big your apartment is where your apartment is how?
New the apartment is and of course the owner it's really up to the owner of the apartment
Do you get the deposit back? Yes, how much of it do you get back?
It really depends on the landlord but so far
I've always got all of it back and my friends also shared that they didn't get any of it deducted as well
They usually get all of it back. But again, it really depends on your landlord. Let's talk about location
living in Seoul is expensive living an apartment in Seoul can be very expensive and
there is comic book and
Kana, and of course condom is going to be a lot more expensive
I do have friends who live in calm down and they do say that whenever they come over
They always point out that my space is a lot bigger yet
They pay a lot more or they pay a similar price for a smaller space. So
Con book is a lot cheaper than con man. My first year in Korea. I actually lived in Charlotte
oh and book pool to be more specific and the school that I worked for paid for my
Accommodation and I found out that it was 300 or 400 dollars a month
I'm going to start my own tour now, okay?
When I move to Seoul I live in the sunshine woman University area and of course college areas can be a lot cheaper
I
Remember painting I think about
$600 a month for that one room
And of course that is on the expensive side for Assumption University
But I wanted like a clean new space and that's why I went with that officetel
so those are like two examples outside of
My current apartment right now and if you guys are curious about my current apartment
I pay about a thousand five hundred a month and the deposit for this place was 50k
a
Lot of you guys were shocked by how I am moving out of this place already
But it's because I didn't purchase the place and ideally I wanted to renew the contract but the owner
wanted to
Lease it up for chums head instead of horses
Why don't you just buy instead of renting now if it was America?
it would be a lot different for me because as an American I can pull out loans and I can talk to my bank and
Figure something out, but here in Korea
I am a foreigner and it's not easy for a foreigner to just pull out a loan. It just doesn't work that way
It's the law and it makes sense
so those are the frequently asked questions and the next thing that I noticed that a lot of people pointed out was the numbers and
If they were confused if I meant it in dollars or one and I did mean it in dollars
I'm sorry for confusing you guys. It's because for example all Chun is 5000 or chump or is
$5,000 or Chun man on is about
$50,000. So while editing I did edit in the correct
Price for each of the apartment. So everything you read on screen is correct. And so I just wanted to clarify that and
I think that's about it
I really want to film the current apartment tour because it is the first apartment that I saved up for so
I'm going to clean my apartment and also pack I have a lot of
organization that I need to get done and
I'm going to look at the new
Apartments layout to see how I want to arrange the furniture. So it's going to be a lot of
planning today and so
Let's start with the beauty room. It's gotten a lot better since the last time I do have to organize it though
Yeah, so maybe you guys will get an aesthetic talk show. All right, let's go clean
So an update on this room. I actually got a lot of the beauty products organized
let me show you most of the beauty products are organized now that box is for my friends and family and
Maybe we'll do a giveaway for those products today. I'm going to focus on clothes. This is a chair
full of
Clothes that I need to organize and I'm going to take a closer. Look at this. The rack is falling down
So I'm going to look at this today and try to get this fixed
For clothes, I am probably going to donate
And I think my friends also wanted to take a look at them
So that's the plan
