Hey guys! If you're new to this channel, my name is Alexandra Olesen. I'm half Korean and half Danish and I live in Seoul, South Korea. I honestly started this channel to sort of log my life for myself and also to share it with all of you beautiful people 💗In my channel you'll be able to find vlogs about my life in Seoul, food videos, fashion & beauty related videos etc.! I love doing a little bit of everything so if you have any suggestions please feel free to DM me on instagram @alexandraolesen or leave a comment down below!

[@Matric0623]

As a korean that building structure is so rare. Especially the second floor's ceiling is so enough to stand up! That height is so hard to find in duplex apartment in Korea! You're so lucky :)

[@yunamchoi2788]

i totally agree! never see before. you got a really good one :)

[@rebeccam.7249]

you speak good English and ur spelling is good my friend

That's brand new apartment block, probably that's new trend.

[@ushdbrr1293]

한국인인데 ㅈ 도 모르면서 이런 건물구조는 드물다고 나대노 오래된 아파트는 그럴지 몰라도 최근 5년안에 지어진 복층 아파트들은 이와 비슷한 구조를 가진 복틍 아파트나 오피스텔 많아 왜 아는척 나대냐 ㅋ 니 고정관념으로 입을 함부로 놀리지마라 ㅋ

[@demag2881]

그.. 윗분 말이 맞는게 지역 신경 안쓰고 내부 인테리어만 보면 저런 구조 꽤 흔해요ㅜㅠ..

The second apartment was SO pretty and didn't feel cramped despite the small size. Literally a perfect apartment for a single person

[@lunaunuagbon]

@@Blackerberrysweeterjuice I think I'm changing idea tho. idk if I really wanna live there permanently cuz like... - I need to go to uni cuz there's much competition even among themselves so foreigners who didn't go to uni will definitely be looked down upon - I'll have to use a new language (tho I'd still learn korean even if I'm not gonna move there cuz I love the language... but still idk) - I'm black so... hehe - the beauty standards are too high - I'd love to be a singer/actress but realistically speaking I don't see that happening there - it's too far from my family and friends for now I think going to uni there (at least a semester) or visiting korea during vacations when I'm older would be ok but I'm not sure about permanently living there anymore :( (I might prolly change idea tho cuz this might just be a phase)

[@Blackerberrysweeterjuice]

@@lunaunuagbon understandable I'm gonna go there for uni too I also have always been interested in being an actress and I'm gonna take a chance there cause you'll never know what could happen but living there depends on how much I'm gonna like it and I'm might move their with a friend so that'll be a big help to settle in but yea I get you

Suggestion - I would split the top area as bedrooms by moving the vanity in to the open area that connects the two open rooms and place a bed where the vanity currently is. You could turn the downstairs bedroom in to a TV room allowing all communal areas on the ground floor and sleeping/getting ready/quiet reading or studying areas on the top floor

[@tree3y763]

Ahh what a beautiful apartment! My favorite part was the double story Dining/living room with the large window. Can’t wait for the part 2!

[@kentucky5896]

@@larrynoelle-8950 Why though? Most of the parents purpose of becoming rich or to have money is to give their kids a life that they wouldn't able to have. They wanted their kids to live comfortably . I don't understand people like you, just because your parents aren't rich enough to give you what you've seen on others doesn't give you the rights to hate them. I am from an average family who have enough money to eat three meals a day but we are still struggling for our expenses on our education. That's why I want to graduate and earn money so that my future kids would live comfortably. If those "rich" kids seems spoiled to you. Don't hate them. It's their parents decision to spoiled them, not theirs. So instead of hating on them. Work hard and earn money so that when you would have money, you can provide for your kids too. You have the choice to either spoil them or discipline them.

[@larrynoelle-8950]

@@kentucky5896 I didn't say I hated rich kids, they just simply make me angry because I work 40 hours a week, my mum always had 2 or 3 jobs and we still can't afford much.
