In Korea, tall apartments will have a better things because single houses are typically built one by one by a small company where as tall apartments are built by the giant house companies, kinda the opposite from US.
Those big cities get expensive. I've always wanted to move to LA, but I could never justify the price of things there. Also a friend of mine lives in chicago and has been rooming with others for a while, due to the high cost.
I lived in Korea as an English teacher for 2 1/2 years. I loved it over there. I also come from parents that didn’t go to college and came to the US in their late 20’s from Colombia. I didn’t have an example growing up. I returned from Korea in June with my girlfriend. I currently live in Tampa while she gets her master’s. I enjoy your story. I also have a degree in exercise science from UCF. I returned and recently got a job as an exercise physiologist. Everyone has their own paths but our paths are quite similar which is cool to know. I would love to return to Korea someday hopefully do something similar to what you’re doing. You earned a new subscriber!!
That's awesome man! I cannot believe you are in Tampa and lived in Korea... So cool, very similar! I love to hear about people with similar stories making a life for themselves. You should definitely come back someday, Korea is amazing, I love it here.
@@izyobey4086 oh i find a house that i love it Its a townhouse its not too big and not too small for me You can go to ( design house) 👈🏻 seach on you tube and you can find it your dream house i already found it i love it so much 😝
That's very interesting! I haven't been down to Daegu yet, but some of the apartments in the area have normal bathroom drains, but most master bedrooms I saw when I arrived were definitely not huge. Any recommendations on activities/restaurants in Daegu?
In Korea the skilled workers for building houses & apartment can not keep up with the demand to build. That is why a lot of places are not finished or flawed.
@@ArielHernandez1 Go to Daiso and get some you can get them for like $1 lol I actually prefer Korean bathrooms with the drain on the floor because you can clean it much easier :D
Hmm, not sure if that's the case where you live. But the older homes where I'm from, with upkeep, can definitely withstand the test of time. Things do break, things do need to be repaired, but this is obviously a thing with any man-made object. I was told by my realtor that homes are typically built to last 30 years. He was not saying they wouldn't be livable after that, but with the rapid change and development in the Korean economy, you see many homes around or 30 years old completely destroyed, or near barely withstanding the test of time. It's a fast pace developing country and these homes get put up so fast, they aren't fully and completely insulated at times, and they do not put much effort into the finishing touches.
@@ArielHernandez1 I'm an architect in TX and I was comparing new builds. the US Wood framing homes life cycle/span of materials is about 40 years and many homes are constantly being remodeled and in need of repair. Hard to say that american homes "withstand the test of time" considering average US home is 35 years old haha But thanks for talking about the lack of craftmanship by these builders - really helpful to look out for! Definitely a helpful video :)
@@HomeWorkouts_LS Ah I see, well that makes total sense! You're the expert then, I'm just some dude giving his opinion, based on observation lol. I do love the larger buildings Koreans develop though, they're beautiful. I was just in Seoul the last two weekends, and many of their hotels, museums, and larger known buildings are gorgeous... But their single family homes, lack of attention to the smaller details, for sure. But for sure! :] Thank you for engaging!
I prefer korean bathrooms over american bathrooms anyday. The drain below the sink really helps keep your whole bathroom cleaner than the average american bathroom
Hye sir may i know something about property real estate in South korea as you mentioned inside in this channel, i want to know for those who buy the real estate in south korea how long the house can stand it is freehold or leasehold i hope there are freehold for real estate
I’m not sure to what kind of houses you refer here in the states… some 4x4’s put together with some horrible windows 😂😂😂 I find the average build quality in Korea to be by far superior to the US.
Man...you complain too much. You know you couldn't even afford to buy a house in Seoul with a military salary even if you wanted to. Houses in korea are expensive. I don't know what state you're from but just be thankful that you're renting a nice house in korea. Try to be humble dude.
As I stated previously another commenter. It is not complaining, it is simply stating an opinion. Homes everywhere are crafted differently, and have different finishes, details, and layout. Also, to address your, "Try to be humble" comment. If you think you know someone from one video you watch, you should maybe humble thyself. Thanks for the interaction H.S. Lee!

Just complained the whole time 😅😂
I would refer to it as a critique.
And here I am in Chicago paying $1500 a month for a one bedroom next to train tracks.

There's some good realtors in this area!
Wow, kind of different than the places in Daegu. I have a huge master bedroom suite, bathrooms drain "normal", etc.

I don’t have a pair of these 👀

@@OhKeiSyd I’ve grown to love it. And I actually went to Daiso yesterday! 😬 got some goodies
It's big even compared to Hungary where you should get a smaller apartment fort 1500-1800$ monthly. And it's even more beautiful.
All Korean houses have beautiful floors?
Wait.. the gas access and feed is right above the range? LOL
LOL.. Yeah..... It's safe-ish.
What do you mean these concrete homes only last 30 years? And no, US homes are not built to last “forever” haha

If you don’t mind me asking…
1. Who’s your realtor?
2. Where is this? Arrived not long ago…
This is near Songtan, my realtor works for a company that is local to this area.
🙂 - I gathered. We’re looking (now) for specifics. I’m on FB and the global if you don’t want your details on blast.
@@romainerussell2808 Absolutely, haha. I can send you the information!
@@romainerussell2808 I sent you a message on facebook (I think). If you didn't receive it please let me know.
I prefer korean bathrooms over american bathrooms anyday. The drain below the sink really helps keep your whole bathroom cleaner than the average american bathroom
How much was the key money for this? And what area are you in? I am looking to relocate and I have been looking for homes.
Around the Songtan area. Cost about 1800 usd a month. There are lots of appartments and a few decent homes here.
Drawers in kitchen is a must
Most definitly!
tip.. get a large ziploc bag and fill it with water and place it on top of the drain when you're not using.. the fxkn mosquitos are killahs in Korea
That's a hell of a tip! Thanks!
@@ArielHernandez1 i havent seen a mosquito since i did that.
But man you are in *Korea not in America* be happy with what you have or just move out 🤷🏽♀️
Sorry, did I offend you? I was simply stating observations and making a comparison. Thank you for your comment.
Wow you pay $1800 for that beautiful 3 bedroom apt? I’m paying $1600 for 2 bed 2 bath in Florida.
Yes ma'am! I know your pain of Florida living. I'm from Tampa, the rental market is crazy!
@@ArielHernandez1 well I was kind of your neighbor. I live about 10 min from Tampa. Stay safe
Did u buy the house?for rent a very good house
No, just renting
How much to buy a house like this ?
Where in Korea is your home?
ChloeLockGames about an hour or 40km south of Seoul.
was your house furnished?
Mine wasn't, but there are some that are.
Recommend bringing your own?
@@iamsamtv4232 If you have some, yeah. But there's also an Ikea here. Some realtors can also help coordinate furnishing your place.

How's living in Korea so far?
Khirstie Evangelista I’m enjoying it so far. Just kind of sucks with COVID. And now it’s starting to get cold 😅
I’m not sure to what kind of houses you refer here in the states… some 4x4’s put together with some horrible windows 😂😂😂 I find the average build quality in Korea to be by far superior to the US.
Great to hear Max!
@@ArielHernandez1 I think you got an excellent deal for 1,800$!!
@@maxmaximus2608 It wasn't bad, but definitely have a much better place now.
how much deposit did you have to pay
No deposit, I paid for the whole year upfront.
@@ArielHernandez1 oh not bad apart from the bugs and all😂
@@Jypsignal LMAO, its terrible in the summer. Right now, not a huge deal. Thankfully.
@@ArielHernandez1 does bug spray actually work or do they just keep coming back (in the summer)
@@Jypsignal The bug spray works, but they were still coming back in. I will have to see this summer how it goes.
Imagine keeping your laundry room window open to stick the dryer hose. Burglars and rapists would be in and out every day, omg.
Good thing it's Korea and the likely hood of that happening are VERY, very low!
Are you leaving at seoul?
No I live somewhere else
Woooow bro
People in Africa : not having clean water
