So what is going on YouTube! I'm in Kyoto Japan! I just got here a couple days ago
and I figured I'd give you a tour of my apartment here. My apartment is right in
the heart of the city and I've really been enjoying taking in all
the sights and eating all the sushi. I couldn't have asked for a better place
to live. So I mentioned this before I travel with Remote Year, so my place is
included in the cost of my monthly fee for Remote Year. But if you were to try
to find a similar apartment here it's actually pretty expensive on Airbnb
you're talking between thirteen hundred and three thousand dollars nomads list
says you can find a one-bedroom here for around $700 but I haven't been able to
find that so if you know how to find a cheap place in Kyoto let me know I live
in a studio apartment here I'm not sharing this month so if you share
accommodations you might be able to find a little bit more affordable place so
I'm actually coming up on my ability now I live in this pretty cool little alley
here I'll show you here real quick and then I live up in this building with all
the colorful doors it's called cheese Oh solitaire what's really cool about the
city is it's super safe like a bunch of my friends rented bikes oh right here
and nobody locks their bike up here you just don't have to worry about it
getting stolen there's no elevator here but it's easy to find your floor because
the doors are all really colorful and I know that my doors are orange so I'm on
the third floor
I'd say here's my orange door I mentioned this before I prefer studios
so even though this place is really small I actually kind of like that and
so when you come in the door there's this little kind of like carved out area
and that's because in Japan you do not walk around your apartment with your
shoes on so my landlord actually gave me these slippers but they're way too small
for me so I just have to walk around barefooted
all right so pretty much see my whole apartment here in Japan they recycle so
I have a bunch of trash bins have this cool
stand up mirror and then we have the kitchen over here I've said this before
I don't cook so there's not much of a kitchen here there is a stove but again
I don't cook I eat out and I'm in the perfect place for eating out because the
food here is great it's like a little Hotel style frigerator which is perfect
for me the only thing I put in here is coffee soda and tea I'm actually
starting to really get into green tea especially the I tio in I really like it
and I think I'm gonna switch from soda over to green tea so if you think that's
a good idea comment below so over here is my bathroom it's really small but it
is what it is kind of cool my place actually came with conditioner shampoo
and body wash I'm a minimalist traveler I travel with only one backpack so
usually I buy that stuff when I get into the country so here I didn't have to do
that one of the really cool things about Japan are the amazing toilets they have
I don't know why the rest of the world does not adopt Japanese toilets they are
phenomenal the seat is also warm which is pretty awesome alright so again this
is going to be a short tour so I have this little TV stand here I haven't used
it yet I'm not sure if I have any channels but at some point I will and
then I have this little desk area so I can work I think 30 and a wake up is
playing right now so that's what I do all my video editing it's perfect for me
and then over here have my little small bed I would prefer a little
bigger bed but this one works it actually was pushed up against the wall
and I originally got here and I moved it this way long ways it just works better
for me and then a lot of places in Japan don't have closet so I'm pretty
fortunate I have a decent sized closet and finally we've got this outdoor area
I've got a nice view of the alley if I can get this screen door open yeah not a
great view not as good as my view in Chiang Mai but it'll work also something
that is so important to me a washer it's not as humid here as it was in Chiang
Mai and Vietnam so my clothes actually dry really really quick which is nice
all right so that's my apartment here in Kyoto Japan I plan on making a bunch of
travel videos doing all kinds of really cool things here in Kyoto so if you
