My Korean Apartment Tour July/2013!

[@xkrnbabox]

awww thanks! The wall paper is sooo shiny! @0@ hahaha. I think that's the prettiest part of my apt. :]

[@xkrnbabox]

haha thanks. :D glad you enjoy them.

[@xkrnbabox]

Hey! I don't know if homeplus delivers so you might want to look into it! As for the other one, the purple one with hanging rack, I ordered that off gmarket and they do deliver! :D it was also cheaper than the one from homeplus!

[@xkrnbabox]

It's a "Cuchen" I like it a lot! :D It can make up to 3-5 servings of rice but I only make enough for 1-2. :]

[@xkrnbabox]

thanks! I can't take the credit though...the apt came with all that shiny and flowery wall-paper but at least the wall-paper makes it feel girly! :D I've just bought a lot of plastic things haha. :]

[@scandaliez]

I love it :) nice place.

[@sailenthillBoy]

ooh ^^ hahaha you sooo funny supa luvvvvve for your videos ^°^

[@xkrnbabox]

Thanks! No it's not too expensive but I live in a small town which supposedly consists of only "33,000" people. But I sure don't see them ahha. :D I'm near Gyeongju-si in the Gyeongsangbuk-do province.

[@xkrnbabox]

Thanks! I like my apt too. It's super cozy especially after work! Sorry, I don't have a kik? I don't know what that is... aigoo! Korea's making me fall behind in the social media scene XD

[@stephaniepike27]

I have a question, that storage thingy that you bought from home plus... do they deliver it to your apartment?

[@insamyoja2]

you have a cute rice cooker... what brand is it? cuckoo?

[@bomchickawat]

Is that kim soo hyun on your fridge? :D

[@xkrnbabox]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. YES! it is him on my fridge!!! :P He's supposed to be there as a reminder not to binge eat but...it kind of fails....and I ignore him. XD

How much does a apartment this size in Korea go for?

[@xkrnbabox]

It really depends where you live in Korea. Metropolitan cities, regular cities, towns, small villages, etc. I live in a town outside of a regular city so it's about 350,000-400,000won per month for rent and then there's also the key money involved (like a large deposit while you live there) In Seoul or Busan a place like mine can easily go for double the price since it isn't that old and some things were furnished.

[@Mf7d89]

it seems that most people live in apartments in korea

[@xkrnbabox]

Yes and No. Not many people in Korea actually live in what we might think as houses. Most people live in apartments or what we in the Western world would consider condos or full size apartments. They can be very spacious but I don't see myself ever living in one. There is no central A/C or heating! I'd die. :P ---I live in the country side and most of my students live in apts. -- People usually only live in a house if the family has money or lots of land and can afford to build a home. -- A home is just not advantageous over here in Korea because space is limited and I'm sure the taxes are higher on home owners than living in an apt. :\

[@KOTHFanRantsandVidsisawesome]

xkrnbabox Thanks so much for your answer. It makes sense that not as many would live in houses, since it is so densely populated. It might be a good place for me to live because I am single and don't need a whole lot of space and it seems like the officetels and apartments are bigger than many of the cheaper apartments in the US.

[@xkrnbabox]

***** I'd say that the equivalent apt size for most foreigners in Korea is a studio apt. That is essentially what a one room apt is. :] Not too big, sometimes too small...but tolerable to live in for one person. I can't imagine living with someone else in my apartment. I'd go crazy there's not enough space for my clothes and shoes with just me. :P

Are you Korean-American; can you read Hangul?
