Your apartment is lovely. Here are my suggestions: place your bed at the corner where you put your clothes, head of the bed against the wall. Then move your mirror closer to the window. No need to buy a sofa /coffee table, instead put your mat, your chair closer to the window and buy some easy plants (such as bird of paradise) and put them nicely near the window, imagine sitting on the floor mat, closer to the window. You can place some cushions on the floor mat when you are having your makeup. Hope they are helpful ☺️

[@sherendev]

LEA THANK YOUUU for this :')

[@lemonleaf1880]

i can see why you really love this room, it’s not too big but not too suffocating… looks so cozy!!

[@sherendev]

you’re right! as someone who’s lazy to clean the room, i think this one is just perfect hahaha

[@keithng2517]

i am chuckling, you are saying finding a perfect apt is finding the right person. haha, funniest part of the video.!!!!🤗

[@sherendev]

hahahah i think that’s always been my go-to phrases whenever i recorded an apartment tour video 🥲 it’s just the perfect analogy lol

[@user-zu1rc9hc8b]

오랜만에 vlog 보네요 😊

[@renrose2386]

I'm from Brazil but I'm obsessed with videos about living anywhere in Japan or Korea, it's very interesting, I love videos showing moving and organization.

[@sherendev]

ahh i've never been to Brazil :') thank youuu and hello from south korea!

[@taysoo___]

WOW! your room looks so cozy and comfy!!

[@sherendev]

aaaa thank youuu!!! 🥹❤️ hehe indeed!! I’m so happy with this room

[@kiyoshitakeda452]

I like your new apartment. Seems roomier and much brighter. Feels better. Thank you enjoyed your blog.

[@sherendev]

aaa thank youuu!!! and yes it does i feel so good to be at home like it's less suffocating :')

[@cheungchoiwan6402]

The kitchen looks complete and very neat, I like it. And your tea collections 😍

[@sherendev]

hahaha right! everything built-in is just so minimalistic. :) and yep as a tea lover i'm still looking to complete my tea collection hahaha

[@amandaborgesdn]

Hi sheren, I started watching your videos today, and I'm loving it!! you are very good! Loves from Brazil

[@sherendev]

naww thankyou Amanda :’) im glad u loved them hehe i’m still learning to make better videos. much love

[@jeannelle90]

Love watching ur vlog as always. Just mho for the bed you could position it vertically or move to the side of the room just as u plan. Stay away from UVA/B :). Anyway enjoy the experiences whatever it is ❤️

[@sherendev]

aaah thank you jeannelle for the tip! :)) now i'm really keen to move the bed hahahah i'll prolly update how it goes (just hoping i'd have the motivation). thanks a lot! x

[@wonforthebooks]

I'm sorry to hear about the curtain situation but I love how your room is looking. So cozy! Happy for you :)

[@sherendev]

nawww thank you!!!😚💗 hahah the curtain situation was tough indeed but looking back it’s just another adulting experience :’)

[@andleeb1122]

Absolutely amazing and beautiful shering really enjoy

[@sherendev]

thank you so much!! :)

[@patrickafortune3181]

Love the video as always,most definitely bigger this time around,and all your rooms are basically the same colour,is that by choice or a fortunate coincidence 🤭

[@sherendev]

thank u!!! most of officetel (this type of apartment) in korea is designed all in white, wooden floor vibes so yeah just my luck hahaha

[@patrickafortune3181]

But also prices in Hong Kong and South Korea are insane,here in Cape Town it's not alot,Like I know South Africa money is half of Hong Kong,and our money is rand,so one rand exchange in HKD is 50c and 1 HKD exchange to rand is 2 rand,but in Cape Town,so in general an apartment in South Africa is about 2000-3500 rand, that's about 1000-1550 HKD,so yes we lucky and I know people think South Africa isn't at the standards as USA and Europe but you be surprised how advance South Africa is,we more modern then most of Europe

[@PuputUtami27]

Dengan renting 630rb won untuk apartemen yg (sepertinya) ga se tiny di HK dan nyaman bgt tuh worth bgt 😆 secara di HK dgn harga yg sama cuma dpt space buat tidur doang, ya khaaan. So happy for you Sheren. Stay terus aja di koreaaa plisss

[@sherendev]

hahaha iya kan!!! sebenernya ini masih termasuk small studio tp kalo buat 1 org cukup sih, ada space kosong buat goler2an juga :') trs ada yg lebih kecil lg sebenernya (kyk di HK gt) dan jauh lebih murah, cuma ak udh gabisa deh wkwkw thank you yaaa!!

[@dennyk.677]

4:35 bruh.. tightening screws w scissor hahaha Anw, great footage as always ✨

[@sherendev]

HAHAHA i was so desperate 😭 soalnya gapunya obeng wkwkw thank you dennnn 🥹👋🏻

[@helloamalia1700]

MYDAY!!!!!!!!🌱 Will this apartment hunting series continue to other episodes ??? As someone who is equally 'mager', laundry is indeed the biggest enemy

[@sherendev]

MYDAY!!!! 🍋🌱 hahaha noooo this is the last one for apartment hunting/tour krn udh settle :)) and YESSS i hate doing laundry bener2 magerrr

[@lidiajamoh-qg3sr]

As someone who recently moved out of home and is settling in a new apartment ..i totally relate with the curtain situation, even i thought putting curtain was the most annoying and stressful situation😂 And not to mention expensive.

[@sherendev]

righttt finally someone who can relate to this!!! hahaha i was stressing out so much during the time i was curtain-less 🥹 adulting is hard lol

[@cheppicepi5279]

Maybe there are many differences between apartments in Korea and Indonesia, especially from the completeness of the rooms and others. I hope my friends will be happy living in this apartment

[@sherendev]

i have never rented an apartment in indonesia so i don’t know much, but i’m sure there’ll be so many differences too :’) and yes for now i’m quite happy living here!! thank youu for the warm wishes hehe

[@cheppicepi5279]

@@sherendev good luck always my friend

[@r4shifreyr603]

0:51 its me! love to to see your progress until now. sherendev another fact: she only want separated bathroom no matter what :D

[@sherendev]

THANKYOU for always being there since early youtube days 🥲 and for one sherendev (not so fun) fact every now & then!!! (i still remember the sheren 🤝 koyok one hahaha)

[@nicolebezanson731]

Your apt so adorable 🥰 ❤️🤗🇨🇦

[@sherendev]

yes i was so lucky!!! thank u nicole 🥰

[@aflor_0505]

4:12 OMG SAMEEEE HAHAHAHAHA, I also had a "culture" shock about the curtains' price.. like.. O_O??

[@sherendev]

HAHAHAHA BESTIE hugs!!!! ((internal crying)) adulting is hard indeed :') so many culture shocks lol

[@herlina146]

Apartement yg cantik dan nyaman

[@sherendev]

hehe makasi kakkk :)) kebetulan hoki dpt apartment yg iniii

[@uriengill]

It seems these flats are much bigger and cheaper than HK. It seems you’re also a handywoman, since you can use the electric drill to install curtains

[@sherendev]

yes trueee but there are other places that are similar to HK flats size too. this one, it’s very decent but still cheaper than HK flats (apart from the deposit fee of course). also i’m not a handywoman i just have no choice LOL

[@blace1200]

the deposit is insane.

[@sherendev]

it is!!! i was really shocked lol and the higher deposit u can pay, the lower the monthly rent…

[@samudithaharshani2946]

😍

[@Hhhhhh-cf8rp]

Hi...is there an option to be in your own apartment while going to uni

[@sherendev]

yes definitely! dormitory is optional and even if you apply you might not get in

[@flammaro]

U r só lovely.....hugs from Brazil

[@sherendev]

hello from seoul! ☺️

[@lutfianafia]

Aku belajar bahasa Inggris dari sherendev semoga kedepannya banyak vlog sherendev berbicara dengan bahasa Inggris. Aku belajar bahasa dengan sherendev tolong bicara bahasa Inggrisnya lebih banyak. Terimakasih 😊

[@verzire]

Hi, which area is your apartment located at? I'm also planning to move to Seoul in a few months. Your apartment looks nice and comfy for singles. 😊

[@sherendev]

hellooo! i'm studying at SNU now and i don't really wanna commute for so long, so i got mine at the nearby area :)) it's pretty far away from the city centre actually... i'd suggest you to find similar type of apartments near your school (or work) area. actually this "officetel" model is really common in korea, have you tried looking at Zikbang app?

[@verzire]

@@sherendevwow! thanks for recommending me such useful website, though it's all written in hangul, glad that Google translate helped me navigate through the web. How much do you pay for deposit? I'm looking for a place near Gongdeok area.

[@sherendev]

yeah unfortunately it's all in korean :') i think once you get the idea about the keywords it'll be easier. and you can just send msg to different realtors with a template (like which area, your budget, preference etc). i'm paying KRW 10mio for the deposit (it's crazy), but usually officetel is around that price. also - not sure if it'll help but i have a video about my apt hunting process, you can also check it! :D

[@verzire]

@@sherendev OMG!! I just watch your apartment hunting video, it's that challenging hunting for housing in Seoul. Getting rejected by landlord just because of being a foreigner. 😥I hope my employer will arrange for me a nice place to live in. The amount of deposit is shockingly expensive. I thought 1000/65 means 1000k or 1million won/month, it turns out to be 1000만/65만

[@Smoses_senpai]

What do you eat then if you don't want to cook?

[@sherendev]

hmmm i usually eat outside, korean food at canteen if when i have morning class, or i'll go find some other food at the neighbourhood when i have evening class :D if i don't feel like anything, i'll go with indonesian instant noodle LOL

[@keithng2517]

are u back in hk? saw your instagram there!

[@sherendev]

yes! for a one week program of my uni :)

Sister, by doing part time job in korea, can anyone bear the expenses of living in an apartment until he/she gets a stable job....? 🙃

[@sherendev]

hi personally i am not too sure :( i don't really know the average hourly wage for part time workers, also part time here requires fluency in korean so i never really check. my advise is to plan your budget by finding an affordable apartment that doesn't require expensive deposit money...

[@divinagracepadas7922]

Hello 😘

[@sherendev]

hellooo! :)

[@claudialiau]

Kak, you take a master degree right ini SNU? So, you stay in south Korea +- 2 years, and Buying bed & gorden for +- 2 year just 😀 .. trus di Korea barang gede macem bed itu klo mau buang kakak harus bayar setauku, kecuali kalo Kakak mau jual lagi atau menghibahkan ke teman kakak. Tapi dapat pengalaman ya kak 👍 always healthy and success for you

[@sherendev]

Your apartment is lovely! Looking cozy and comfy! I really enjoyed this video. and I wanted to do a collaboration video with you! My channel is about people living in Korea, we do interview and home tours!

[@ngesubyutub4326]

You need microphone

[@sherendev]

I know! but then i’m broke so i’ll just rely on my phone for now hahaha

Finding the right appreciate is like finding a boyfriend 🤣

[@o5maelim]

i might predict this or what, you will be living in New York a decade from now 😆😅

[@sherendev]

whattt omg really why? hahaha i need to know cuz i never really wanted to move to the US :’) (at least until now i never really think about it)

[@o5maelim]

@@sherendev idk im just saying it coz im sure it's a big opportunity for you. but since you said you never want to move to the US, im wrong 😅 im sorry

[@sherendev]

nooo don't be sorry!!! hahaha i was also just curious because i think i wont suit the NYC life :') so i don't think about moving there ahaha but who knows right! >
