Good afternoon everybody, it's Cory here.

I'm going to do my official apartment tour for you guys.

Today, I'm doing it with the GoPro here, that way you guys get the nice wide angle.

Plus we're going to walk through it, so that way you get the first person perspective of

We are in the Thuy Khue ward, and that is here in Hanoi city.

So you can see, this is just what the main road looks like out here.

There's traffic, and what not, just normal everyday Vietnamese life.

But then just off from the main road, is this little alley here.

This blue building right here is my apartment building.

And it's right next door to another building that has a kindergarten/preschool kind of

And there's some other residences around this area.

This is like a nice little back area from the main road.

So this is where I live, and it's $350 a month for a studio apartment in here.

And included is parking, so here's a pad lock, this is gated parking.

That lone black Yamaha Nouvo is the one that I've been renting, it's $50 per month.

So you get a nice secure place to lock up your vehicle.

And it is protected underneath this roof thing here.

So this is the first floor, this is essentially like a lobby where the building owner just

like chills out and handles business here.

What I really like about a lot of Vietnamese homes and businesses are the altars here,

to pray for fortune, wealth, health, and all those other good things.

They put money, or cigarettes, alcohol, like all kinds of stuff here as offerings.

But this is kind of cool you can see this as soon as you come in.

And there's always nice fresh flowers and stuff here.

First floor is just stuff for the office lobby area.

And there's an actual unit in here that they're doing like renovations right now.

Yeah, they're in there, I think they're painting one side of the room.

So there's two units per floor, except for the top floor, which is a single unit.

The one on the left is somebody, my neighborh, whom I haven't met yet.

The one on the right, here, this is mine.

Take off your shoes, because I'm Asian, and I am in Asia.

And that's how I roll all the time, it doesn't matter where in the world.

You can see it's a Studio apartment, it's got the bed, the living room, and the kitchen,

It reminds me of being back in college, kind of.

Except in college, I shared a room like this with another roommate.

I only have one lamp on right now, which is that corner lamp right there.

So it does get a lot of natural lighting, I got three giant windows and one smaller

I don't need to use electricity, really, at all, during the day time for lighting.

This is more than bright enough for me to like do work or write or whatever.

So on like a sunny day, it's really nice and bright.

In the morning, the sun comes in from this window over here, at an angle, so like all

Yeah, so it's just like a really nice, well-lit place by natural light.

I'm going to go ahead and show you anyways, what it looks like with the lights on.

There's the sconce lights, which I usually use at night and that's it.

And there's like these recessed lighting things in the corner.

Each corner has recessed lighting up in the top.

So this is what it's like with all the lights on, except for that lamp, I didn't turn that

So you can see, it's just very well-lit, it's a nice, bright space.

Although I never really use any of these lights.

Except for the sconce light, that's the only one I use at night.

I'll leave these on for now, for the video so you can see everything.

So this is the kitchen space, as you can see, it's very simple, but it's clean and that's

It comes with this little wine rack thing that I'm going to eventually have some wine

It came with all the cutlery, and pots and pans and stuff.

So what's interesting is this is not just a storage space, but it is a drying rack,

like physically the water will drip through the bottom here.

I just washed these, so they're all unorganized and weird looking.

I've got my little simple spices and whatever, olive oil and salt, pepper, soy sauce, red

I definitely need to go shopping for more herbs and stuff.

It definitely has this nice vented range hood here.

So, it's nice and clean, everything is clean.

And the only weird thing, I guess, for a lot of people, would be that there is a hot plate
