So today I'm taking you inside my Korean apartment.
Don't look at the code.
I hope you're not looking.
Hahahaha.
I live in a very small studio.
It's just a one bedroom apartment.
What you got in your hands?
Well, this weekend happens to be Chuseok, which is kind of like
Thanksgiving and this is the lovely gift set that I got from work.
Tuna and spam.
Ooooh!
Oooh lala.
Those are selling for 50 dollars at the store.
Yes, this is very expensive.
You better appreciate your spam.
You better.
It's a year's supply.
Playing guitar sounds
I am a very talented musician and I dream of one day playing with you to.
Because they like people who can playing the Ukelele.
They do.
Music playing.
hahaha
strum it.
The fridge.
And what is that?
This delicacy came all the way from Argentina.
Dulce de Leche.
Mmmmm.
As the Koreans say 'Mashikeda"
In Spanish it is deliciouso.
Deliciouso!
This is my small little kitchen and I cook so often that I paid 3000 thousand Won which
is about 3 dollars for 6 months of gas usage.
Korean toilets are very scary things.
As you can see there is lots of buttons with different options to wash your bum clean and
who knows what else.
oooh, the seats are also heated so in the winter time that's pretty sweet.
And this is my small little bathroom.
Basically whenever you take a shower everything gets wet.
This is all there is to it.
This is the view from my apartment.
Not too shabby.
You can see lots of apartment buildings, restaurants, bars, and the mountains off in the distance.
So this is my bed with my lovely Bolivian bed cover.
And if you look this way I have a nice shelving unit where I can keep my clothes.
Little television.
We just store things here.
Girly!
In this little area right in front of the door this is where you take your shoes off
because it is very bad manners to walk inside a Korean home with your shoes on.
They don't like it.
That's going to be in the bloopers.
Noooo!
Yeah!
Are you recording already.
Yeah.
Jeez.
I'm going to show you my apartment today.
Let's go take a look - over there.
The views from outside of my apartment - rice fields aplenty.
Don't look at the code.
Don't look at the code!
In we go.
And before I show you anything check out my awesome socks.
They're stripey.
Candy cane for Christmas.
Welcome to my bedoire.
It is just a bed, a couch, a bookshelf (which has no books on it) and a little makeshift
wardrobe and my dresser.
Also, a tv I never use.
I mean look at all of this empty space.
We've got to use it for something right?
Dance party!
Oh yeah!
Or maybe not.
We'll have to think of a better use for it.
And this here is my tiny little Korean kitchen.
I'm going to show you what is going on here.
I've got this small sink, which is basically just washing the dishes here and drying them
up on this rack.
I've got different Korean glasses.
This is a Korean beer company Cass.
In Korean beer it is called Makju.
I've got my Makju glasses.
Who could be in Korea without having metal chopsticks.
I can even use them.
Look at this.
Good for you - you should be able to after four years here.
I should.
Agreed.
Let's see if I can pick up something here - this little butter knife.
Excellent demonstration.
And you of course would do that in real life picking up butter knives with chopsticks.
Okay, so the other interesting thing about a Korean kitchen is that unlike western kitchens
you don't have an oven.
You can see here that we just have a heating elements.
There is two actually and there is a frying pan which I never use because I don't cook.
Being a well paid teacher in Korea, of course I have a plentiful supply of food, as you
can see - or not.
There is just condiments and water and juice and more condiments and bread.
It is a very - you can tell I don't eat here very often.
Bathroom time!
Come on in.
One thing interesting about a Korean apartment is that it is considered to be a wet bathroom
and a wet shower, so you put on your flip flops.
You can see I can just flip flop right into them all nice and dandy.
Well done.
If you look here this is the shower area - the wet shower area.
I've got my manly products and over here there is a little humble bathroom.
Something looks different about this place.
Yeah, there is something kind of wrong.
Maybe, could it be that it is clean for once.
For once!
Don't expect that to happen again.
Here is my spare room.
Come on in.
These are the two suitcases I brought in to Korea from me from Canada.
I've got my old camera bag, which I'm not even using anymore.
It is empty - just air.
Here is my tripod, which I haven't been using nearly enough this year.
My new prize possession - my awesome orange little camera bag.
Here is where I put my camera right in here.
It opens up.
So tell us what do you use this room for?
I use it for studying - uh, nothing.
Final part of my apartment - the balcony.
On the balcony we have of course the washer and that is it.
Look at the gorgeous views.
Look, of a parking lot!
Yeah.
Not.
You can flirt with the camera.
That doesn't look like flirting.
That looks creepy.
