    Every time I get sad or upset with myself I watch studio apartment tours. I like to think that even if I am not suited to being around other people, I can live a very happy life in solitude somewhere far away where I can make my own decisions and be myself.

      Apartment tour videos are pretty relaxing, I use to think the same thing and imagine myself living in a far off beach town. Hope all is well and who knows maybe one day you will be giving your own studio tour

      I just tried to find a link online which ill post at the bottom, pretty sure it was something like this not sure if is exactly the same model and all that. Are you going to be making videos as well?

    $570 not bad, can you stay short term like 1-3 months? Also do they require large deposits or middle man agency fees or is it flexible and you just may first month for first month rent

    • @Travelingjoe
      @Travelingjoe  2 года назад

      You can definitely find places that allow short term or month to month rentals (although some will raise the monthly rent in return). I find standard deposits here to run you 2 months rent.. which is kind of a lot, especially if you are only renting for a short time like 3 months..
      I have run into landlords that are willing to negotiate on the deposits, however the standard seems to be 2 months deposit plus the 1st month rent on move in day 😬

    Hello Joe, I live in 板橋區 during my childhood. The flat I used to live in is similar to your flat . May I know what is your point of view living in Taiwanese flat compare to your life in the United States ?

    • @Travelingjoe
      @Travelingjoe  2 года назад

      板橋 seems nice! (They opened a new MRT line to 板橋 last year) I need to explore that area more! I certainly do miss a few things about the USA, like being able to drive in my car on big nice roads with a lot of space.
      As far as apartments go I think... I think you for sure get more bang for you buck so to speak in the USA... Maybe that was because I was in Virginia and Taipei is more similar to NYC or something. The one thing I have regretted about my time in Taiwan is that I have lived solely in Taipei...I have heard the apartment situation is better in other cities!

      Probably about the same, it’s a bit out of the city center so more affordable. Also it’s a “rooftop structure” (cough cough not technically legal) which lowers the cost.
