it was definitely an interesting process... glad you've found the right apartment!

[@sherendev]

YESSS so glad that it's finally over & now i just gotta decorate my room :D

[@blackbelt2000]

My notes: 1) Yeah, Seoul buildings are built practically on top of each other so its really hard to find a place that has a view and gets sunlight. 2) I never really understood the reasoning behind the "shower where you poop" bathroom layout. It is definitely common in the older buildings...maybe its a space saving measure? Just be glad you don't have squat toilets like they do in the countryside. I don't have the legs for that. lol 3) Not gonna lie, I have a soft spot for Seoul rooftop apartments but seeing all those air-conditioners all along the outside of your door makes me think it would be really noisy because of the fans running. 4) Anybody who works on commission is going to pressure a customer to make a sale but still you made the right choice by sticking to your priority list. 💪Its you that is paying to live there not them. Until next time!👋

I love it when you talk/sharing more in your vlogs. it feels like getting to know you in person and I thank u for uploaded this despite of your hectic schedule. take care sher!

[@sherendev]

naww really 🥹 sometimes i feel like i dont wanna talk too much because it’d be boring hahaha :’) thanku for your kind words & u too take care!

[@MyBrokenPassport]

Wahh I have the same problem in HK right now. My rental contract in my current apartment is already up but I just can't find an apartment I really like. I want somewhere that I can stay for a few years instead of moving flats evert 12 or 24 months 😩 Great video though, really enjoyed it. And rental prices seem a lot better than in HK!

[@sherendev]

ohh :O have you tried 28hse instead of fb groups? honestly it’s pretty hard as well for me to find a place that i can commit to, especially for more than 2 years lol Goodluck on the flat hunting!!! And yep what’s mindblowing for me is that, the rental price in korea for a very legit apartment 😂 hk could neverrr

[@MyBrokenPassport]

@@sherendev Thanks, I will continue the struggle 😄 I’ve been checking 28hse for the past 10 weeks 😢

[@r4shifreyr603]

happy 8,23K subs sheren!

[@sherendev]

thankyou!!! i just realized ahahah brb cyring

[@patrickfortune5819]

Like you said once, finding an apartment is like finding a boyfriend 🤣🤣🤣

[@sherendev]

HAHA i still stand by my statement... 50% effort 50% luck honestly

[@user-zu1rc9hc8b]

[@sherendev]

[@rachellll0.0]

[@sherendev]

omg i'd love to share toooo! pls pray for me so i have some motivation to clean the house first :( ahahaha

[@rachellll0.0]

@@sherendev hehe all the best

[@coffeeshin2788]

I used to live in the town lol It seems like you're getting 오피스텔. Just be careful with the utility. 오피스텔 utility fee is usually a lot more expensive than 빌라 or 원룸 types.

[@sherendev]

yes hahaha i've always been wanting to try renting an 오피스텔 :D thanks for the note, so far it's still reasonable... maybe during winter when i turn on the heater, my 관리비 will be expensive :')

[@chitnoy5612]

for apartement like that around 3600 HKD is pretty cheap 🤩 in HK you could never get that price. Berat di deposit sih 😅

[@sherendev]

righttt!! not everyone can understand why i was so happy when i signed this flat hahaha im paying half of the price for a typical HK flat, for something way more decent :''') tp ya skrg jd bokek krn bayar deposit dompet lgsg tipis huft

[@paulagv_]

Sorry to ask, but I am a relatively new follower, so do you speak any korean? I loooove your videos, btw. I think I watched all of them in a week hahahaaha ❤

[@sherendev]

hiii nice to e-meet you and no need to be sorry! :D my korean is actually still very basic, i'd say i'm more comfortable in writing & listening... for speaking it's pretty tough ;-; alsooo thank you for the loves!! hope you wont get sick of me after watching the vids in a week hehe :3

[@foreign_neighbor]

Hahaha the headaches of finding an apartment, I feel you! But I love your journey ❤ I do room tours and interviews with foreigners living in Korea. I’d like to do a collab with you! Please let me know if you’re interested!😊

[@xysgsvvxvdv8315]

Are you staying in Seoul now, Eonnie...?
