Living it "LARGE" in Korea...

[robins1818]

One room studio..

[BibleBurnr]

lol happy sale

Dang, I never thought an appartment would be smaller than my room. Although it does look cozy, I'm just not too sure about the Shower thing, LOL. Oh well, I won't knock it until I try it.

[StringsCrusader]

We take our shoes off at the door here in Canada too lol. It just makes sense to take your shoes off to keep everything clean. I mean, what happens if you step in something a bit nasty without noticing. You'd end up dragging it all over your floor lol.

[tokee1234567]

@StringsCrusader well not all Canadians do it. Trust me, I lived in Canada for 9 years. some of my canadian friends even wear their shoes on their bed

[StringsCrusader]

@tokee1234567 lol I don't know why you're saying that living in Canada for 9 years somehow gives you more experience in the matter than me considering I was born here and lived here all my life so far. I know what you mean though... There are a few slobby people that leave their shoes on. It's just a lack of respect/ laziness on their part.

[tokee1234567]

@StringsCrusader well I didn't mean that, but through my experiences there I've seen that some families do leave their shoes on. But in Asia, it's a real mandatory thing to not wear shoes, but in western society it doesn't apply to all families, nor do they really think about it. I wouldn't call that slobby btw. I've seen this American family where they all wear shoes everywhere, but I never thought they were slobby or lazy. it's just a difference in culture

[StringsCrusader]

@tokee1234567 it's so dirty to leave your shoes on though... like if you walk through dog shit unknowingly, then you'd track it all through your house lol.

[xXKittyDollXx]

almost all the european countries remove their shoes before they go inside too... It's nasty NOT to..

[KGuy135]

Of course you're living large in my country. If it wasn't for your fake degree, you'd still be washing my brand new lexus back home.

[Aggiesgigem]

@KGuy135 Someone has to teach you dummys English :)

[JayCeeMuzik]

lol at the end

야 요기가 이마트이잖아!!!

[JayCeeMuzik]

nicee

i live in daechi dong but im not an english teacher u cud say tht im a "foreign" student even tho im a korean and ive lived in boston for most of my life

[nkkim1002]

Hahaha your apartment reminded me of my dorm when I lived in NYC. It was way smaller than yours w shared bathroom and and kitchen. I had to pay $800 per month.......

[korea148]

i Love You ,

i'm korean .

fighting !

[parsprincess]

is ur apartment part of ur contract? like i mean is it free? do u get payed well for teaching?

[qiranger]

Compared to what? I find Korea quite affordable.

[vsonic86]

Is it really expensive to live in Korea?

[NICKST3R182]

u couldn't afford something bigger?

[thechoos]

omg, i could not but burst out laughing!! your place is so teeny weeny!! i am assuming you are a tall guy, so this must mean you feel squashed?

lol!! are you o.k?

[tyvolous1]

One thing I don't get. It's your apartment right?

So why do you take off your shoes in your own apartment if you're not Korean? Theres no one to offend in your own place so I'm not sure why you do that.

[qiranger]

To keep the floors clean.

[tyvolous1]

okies

[gabyxccs]

@qiranger  ooooooooh! I always have wondered that!

[pcab]

Very cool! I would love to live there for a while! How much is the apt. per month?

[qiranger]

I have no idea.... the school provides it.

[dudadeda1234]

Cool, positive and unbiased presentation of somewhere in Seoul, Korea. I appreciate your conciseness.

[melonbarmonster]

I don't think it's Seoul.

[qiranger]

It was Yongin.

[forestgump65]

You are so great! You made my day!

Very Intelligent and honest!

[jhk2h]

live near jookjeon, eh?

for plugs.. try 문구점(stationary store) small ones, not big mart types.. but ones that's in front of elementary schools..

[ronbrendon]

great video.. love it so much

[u4casper]

It's an interesting video.

My...you resemble Enterprise captain on Star Trek Next Generations. (compliment)

[ShutterBug717]

OMG...I couldn't live in that small space for too long. Thanks for sharing this video. Interesting.

[dohyunhan]

nice video dude

[cooksterz]

Wow that is a grea tour. I was traveling also, and now catchin up on your Korea updates! its a cute lil stay, but im sure takes some getting used to!!

[joshlsulli]

I have a professor that travels to Korea to every year and really enjoys it. We also have a large Korean population at the Seminary, since Korea has the fastest growing Church. When you go to a nice restaurant, order something other than steak. It will confuse the waiter. What are you teaching?

[qiranger]

Basic English.

[f3xpgm]

You can't buy too much stuff otherwise you will get a full apartment! lol

[myblueart]

that was fun to see, thanks for showing us. I love seeing where people are and live and everything. It reminded me of my travels :o)

[katatonickate]

Awesome. I'm just catching up on your  recent vids. The apartment is um.... compact :P looks like you are having fun :D

[qiranger]

For Sure!

[dorotwhy]

Luxury accommodations! Watch your head! BIG CITY!

[dr3dnaught]

Btw, what is pizza like in Korea? LOL

[qiranger]

Not too bad. Similar to supermarket pizza.

[sharnale]

Thoroughly enjoyable to watch. I am hoping and pulling for you. You have courage, man! Thanks for showing us a bit of your new life. Can you show us the school where you teach?

[qiranger]

I probably will swing by there on the weekend and take a few snaps.

[dr3dnaught]

Wow. Looks like you have quite an adventure ahead of yourself. I hope you have fun! First seeing your room brought to mind what you had to say about possessions in your Life Philosophy vlog.

[mrobertb]

Wow, that room isn't big enough to swing a cat in, if that's your idea of a good time! (Groucho Marx 1938)

[OhCurt]

Wow, quite a switch from what you were used to here in the states! Thanks for the tour of the area - I've never walked around Korea before.

:-D

[qiranger]

Should be a lot of fun!

[Joevector5]

good luck man , this looks like it will be the best time of your life , what an adventure . JV

[qiranger]

Yup!

[ingypop]

you know i've never really known much about korea and im going to be stopping over there next year on my way to vegas.. so thanks for showing me whats the go over there :)

[qiranger]

Really, flying into Seoul to go to Vegas. That's just crazy!

[lolypopzncigretz]

So glad that you are having a good time in Korea! You look SO happy!

LNC

[AustDingo]

Thanks for showing us. love the outside footage.

take care big fella

[CliffBetweenTheLines]

At least you're not going to get tired walking around the apartment! :) (But you might want to be wary of using the toilet while doing laundry, therer seems to be some opportunity for unpleasant surprise.)

[qiranger]

I could do laundry, shower, and shit all the same time. What a time saver.

[TheFatAussieBarstard]

OMG Steve...that floor looks like its covered in plastic mate...why u gotta take off ya shoes....lol..nice apartment mate....this remonds me so much of Hong Kong .....

[qiranger]

It's customary in Asia.

[amillionfaces]

Very cool! I have a friend who has an apartment like that in the Netherlands. It was pretty fun to cram in on the floor when I visited. :)

Was that dog wearing doggles?

How are you finding ordering things like food when you go out to eat?

Thanks for the tour!

[qiranger]

Pretty easy to order food. I point to the picture!

[amillionfaces]

Ahhh pictures. That's always helpful. :D  I'm heading to southeast asia for a few months this fall and I'm a bit nervous about the food thing! Especially because I need to make matters all complicated with the only vegetables thing. ;)

[vierge]

안녕 스티브 :) gosh I'm so jealous!!! my parents were in Korea a few weeks ago too :) someday I want to go back. so do you like pot bing soo? :) I haven't met anyone who doesn't like it!

[qiranger]

I love it all. I'm having a blast with the food thus far!

[Stuka87]

Great to hear from you again steve. Salime is sitting here next to me :)

[qiranger]

Awesome!

[yesjaide]

Eek. Spartan.

I am reminded of Elwood's apt in the Blues Brothers!

Stay happy. Yeesh.

[sweetqueento3]

WoW! "Friken AWESOME" Thanks for posting:o)

[Zipster08]

WOW, they really cram a lot of stuff in a small space!! My showers in hotels in England were like that too...confused the shit out of me! I'm like "where's the shower curtain?" Love you buddy, ENJOY!!

[qiranger]

When I fist went to wash my hands, I didn't check the knob to switch it from sink to shower... and got a wet surprise on my head.

[boobtubious]

There's probably a whole factiry of those power adapters somewhere near you. In any case it looks very cool there, you have a great adventure ahaed of you.

[qiranger]

Well, I picked up one in Lotte Mart, but I was hoping for something compact. It will do.

[DeadVideoGamer]

Would be cool to be there once in my life. Hope you enjoy it.

[qiranger]

I am so far!

[sign543]

I'm so jealous...I want to do that! :)

[qiranger]

Maybe in a few years.

[EmCSpiteri]

A place like that will drive me to drink, smoke and possibly murder :(

[qiranger]

Wow... Better not take you camping.

[ChristopherMast]

braver than I am... I don't think I could live in that apartment, much less in a country like Korea...

[qiranger]

If I didn't enjoy camping as much as I do, I think I might have a hard time. But it's really no different than that.

[PragueVlogg]

Friggin awesome. Glad you are settling in well.

[qiranger]

Absolutely! Thanks!

[Arnack221]

Cool

[CountryComesToTown]

Hey Steve. Thanks for a great tour. It really cool that you are able to share you experience with us through YouTube! -Jim

[qiranger]

It should be a fun time.

[xgobobeanx]

oh thank you steve!! :) such an interesting apartment!

[qiranger]

You're welcome Jill. It was a blast walking around with the camera!

[13thDimension]

cOOL!

wow....your new apartment looks about the size of my new place....hA! nifty :)

[qiranger]

;-) I love it.

[blackcat2enterprises]

Very cool, with a few exceptions it looks like any big city anywhere. =)

Interesting bathroom... probably easier to keep clean =) I noticed you drying your clothes inside though... do you have a clothes line?

- Heidi

[qiranger]

I have a table for some things and then some hooks around the apartment.

[dubaiedge]

awesome! love watching these. you always make the most interesting vids, from az. road trips to korea adaptor hunts.

[qiranger]

;-)

[gstockton]

"Happy Sale", that's hilarious! If you can, and they allow spectators, can you get some video of the politicians fist fighting. LOL!

[qiranger]

LOL

[creegirl9]

wow that apt. would make me claustrophobic.

[qiranger]

Oh hello no. It's awesome! Very Cozy!

[Fringe111]

Wow I've really been gone for a long time. I had no idea you were going away and for what. I'll check your page to fing out why unless you'd like to tell me. Good luck. Your apartment is functional lol

[qiranger]

Teaching English for a year.

[Fringe111]

That's great. I'm looking forward to your vids from over there. Awesome

[Imasofat]

Pretty cool tour. Keep'em coming.

[qiranger]

For sure!

[Digitz111]

Nice to see what its like around there. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay mate.

[qiranger]

Planning on it!

[Loadie]

Your apartment is WAY bigger than the first one I had when i went to Japan. Lucky man!

[qiranger]

I have the largest one... but the ceiling is about 4 inches too low.

[TrueBlueAustralian]

holy shit 78 degrees in a small place like that would be all most boiling.

Hope you find a converter one day but make sure things are the same voltage...

[qiranger]

Nah... it's all good. Don't need it that cold in here.

[GoretexRobo]

ohh too cool! great vid steve thanks for taking us around its great to see things I know I never will.anyways be safe bloke

[qiranger]

Will do. I can't wait to show you guys some really cool stuff!

[filmidioten]

Yay finally a real outdoors video of your new home :D You're so lucky, always wanted to go to Korea!

And love your ingenious bathroom Steve. You take a shower AND wash the entire room all at the same time!

[qiranger]

And I supose you could also pee or poop!

[filmidioten]

THAT could also come in handy! ^_^

[JimmerSD]

Nice cel.....ahem...Room. Functional. I lived in a travel trailer for a couple years and got used to it pretty easily.

[qiranger]

I love it. After living in a 3000sqf house by myself for a long time (and not to mention how much I love camping), I am loving living in such a cozy place.

[qiranger]

Ceiling in my apartment is a few inches too short... no worries tho!

[Goobian]

You were so excited to move there lol just kidding! You'll be used to it by no time. I think the apartments are tiny because they don't spend much time there do they?

[qiranger]

Perhaps. I try to get out as much as possible. this weekend was tough, since I was cleaning and doing laundry... I'll have to figure out something else when I do my towel and sheets.
