Living in Chongqing - Apartment Tour with Amelia

[@keladry100]

I'm moving to Chongqing in about 5 weeks. I was initially supposed to be movinng with a friend...but going it alone now. I'm pretty nervous, so thanks for this reassuring video. I was planning to get a much more basic (I.e cheaper) apartment though lol. Yours looks so luxurious! 😍 Haha

[@keladry100]

I see my comment has now been pinned. I have been living in china for 7 months now. So if anyone has any questions please feel free to comment.

This is legit the best Chinese apartment I’ve ever seen in these apartment tour video

[@justino2096]

Came upon this clip about 7 months ago by chance. Had never even heard of the place before, checked it out, loved what I saw and heard... so flying out tomorrow! All because of this vid 😂 thanks for thaaa!

[@FirstLeapChina]

Awesome. Best adventures are spontaneous ones. Chongqing is pretty amazing.

[@lejaders]

I also use the heating lamp to dry the bathroom after I shower, since it's a wet room it makes it dry faster. But I live up North where it's cold...

Moving to Chongqing in August, Place looks amazing.

[@Chanchothecorgi]

are you heading as a teacher? and if so, how did you acquire your TEFL (if you did). thanks so much!

[@dorkyproductions2990]

@@Chanchothecorgi Look online mate theirs heaps to choose from.

[@Chanchothecorgi]

Best of luck, man! If you have any tips for someone getting started, I’m all ears. I’m just trying to do the research and not be fooled. Hoping to be able to teach English to kinder. I have my bachelors but would need to get a tefl as well as passport. I’m sure there are 100 more steps but any help along the journey would be appreciated.

Everything about this video is so Beautiful

[@Fabler]

Cool city. Trying to figure out how to move there for sure

[@omni3670]

Greetings from Malaysia! Wow! You have found for yourself a truly beautiful apartment with beautiful views of the city. And that sofa you bought - so big and bright. Good as a spare bed!

[@이하나-m2h]

My dream is to move there.. i love china never been but i know my dream town is chongqing and yangshuo. Hope i get there one day

[@Collerz7]

Thanks Amelia this was a good watch. I will be working for first leap in Chongqing very soon :D

LiamC22 welcome to Chongqing,I am Chongqing native,if you need help can ask me

[@reginanyirubugara4428]

I am just in love with your view!! I really wouldn't mind the squat toilets at all if I saw the view of your apartment!! I now hope that when I move out, would also get that view. I've never been this jealous oh dear

[@KevinAvery-r5l]

Great apartment. Guess I am looking for recommendations. I am thinking of taking a job in China. Am a teacher and examiner. I have lived in South East Asia (from the UK) but don't speak Mandarin yet. Would mainly be working from home with family here. We have an 18 month old girl. Either Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing or Guangzhou. Maybe Shanghai better for newcomer but would save money in Chongqing. How is it living in Chongqing? It looks like a good city. What are your experiences of life there? Would you recommend it for us?

[@chinita_doll]

Looks so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! 🥰 I will be moving to Shenzhen in the future!

[@KevinAvery-r5l]

Are you still in China or maybe back again? I guess we have a lot of stories to tell from the past crazy few years. Good luck whatever you are doing :)

[@nothingbutcash]

Wow this place is amazing

[@hermesliteratus882]

It looks like a decent apartment.

[@FirstLeapChina]

Not a bad apartment for sure.

[@Tomuvalerie]

How much is your monthly rent cost ?

[@jq881]

Valerie I am Chongqing native, I think it is 2000-2500Rmb a month in Chongqing

[@Balcaceres_Art]

In the Video Description she mentions it is 361 dollars per month

[@comraderat]

唐JQ 2500 for quite big 2 bedroom apartment in 2019?! Damn... I’ve paid 4000 for a tiny 1 bedroom apartment in Beijing back in 2011-2014. Now the same apartment is rented out at 8000 per month.

[@meixingmichael2480]

Valerie 2500

[@yaqiwang5242]

唐JQ this is so damn cheap! Living in a small north west town in US, an apartment is not as nice as this one but cost me more than $1000...

[@jessbaldwin]

Looks amazing xc

[@tanisheamagee1712]

Best auntie about♥️

[@fayyaznoor1962]

Such an apartment in a Big city like New york will have a rent of about 5l to 6 thousand dollars per month, how much are you paying?

[@chairmanimao7982]

good job

[@demitakaye1773]

Definitely got lucky getting this place!

[@JediFight]

Are you still there?

[@kiaramurray3298]

What is the name of these apartments?

[@FirstLeapChina]

Oh... Not sure. You can connect with Amelia on IG and ask 😁

[@deepdude4719]

How expensive is to have a housekeeper for your apt on daily basis?

[@FirstLeapChina]

You can hire a live in house keeper or even one who comes in every now and then for a good price. It'll vary depending on city and depending on what you want the housekeeper to do (cleaning, cooking etc.)

[@Shanemanarrow]

I watched all the way to the end to find out how much it costs, only to get some weird ambiguous answer

[@gohyonghongluke3443]

As Asian squat toilet is really good for bowels and it's really doing daily bowels movement very smoothly and not like sitting one and I will choose this when outside (em from Singapore)

[@seansundance9017]

another fun video. just a comment about you guys kept saying this was western or that was western. To me, there is not much difference between the western or Chinese style of the items used in a house hold. Actually, almost all of them are made in China including the ones you used in your own countries. lol

[@gabriele5615]

Are you living in Himalaya ?

[@meixingmichael2480]

downside is toilet for foreigner ？

[@opticandersonopticanderson3364]

oh, heck, I didn't even realize until you mention it. You are quite right, using squat toilet actually help to stretch your spine, and it can fix back pain and sore in a certain extend. But some Chinese apartment having squat toilet in the living room is more of a hygiene thing, they don't want to sit on something others had sat on (and took a dump, not to mention possible skin disease and so on).
