MY NEW HOME - Dutch Apartment $1400_month

Hello and welcome to my new apartment.

So I've been living in my new apartment

for about 3 weeks now, and I've been

trying to keep it a secret up until now.

But I feel like, um, it should be fine if

I just show you the place. What's the

worst that could happen? So today I'm

finally going to do my apartment tour.

Okay, so we start off in the first room.

As you can see, uh, it's pretty empty. I

don't really have anything in here. I just

keep my rubbish over here if I buy stuff

from the internet, and I've got cardboard

boxes. I just dump it in this pile.

Not sure if you can see that.

I don't really use this room because I

don't really have any need for this room.

The sofa used to be here and the TV used

to be here, but I moved everything further

inwards into the apartment because I like

to be isolated, more secluded, and I don't

really like to be near the entrance of the

building. So I moved everything out of

this room. This room is just kind of

empty. It's kind of like the entrance.

Keep my shoes here, keep my rubbish there.

Yeah, it's kind of a waste of space, I

guess, but I don't really need a huge

amount of space. Okay, so next we go into

the main living area,

and this is my sofa bed. It's an L-shaped

sofa, but it also pulls out into a pretty

big bed, and I just leave it out as a bed.

And yeah, this is where I sleep.

Got myself a pillow. These are the sofa

pillows, and I've got bedsheets and a

duvet. And I've got an Oculus Quest 2,

which is a really good VR headset.

And over here we have the TV, which I

never use. All of this furniture was

bought by the landlord. They bought it for

me. I didn't have to pay for it. And they

bought me a TV as well, which to be

honest, I don't really need. And I've

unplugged it because I never watched the

TV. I did watch it the first few days I

was here because I was a bit lonely. But

since I got my iPad Pro back— yeah,

since I got my iPad Pro back, I don't

really watch the TV anymore. I just watch

my stuff on the internet. So we've got a

big TV. It's only about 30 inches.

It's not huge. And this is where I sleep,

and this is my little table where I have

my food. So I'll just sit here like this

with my food, and I've got my iPad so

I can do some computing and internet stuff

like that. And then over here I have a

bunch of random stuff. Got my Galaxy

Fold, which I'm selling very soon. I've

got my wired clip-on mic, my shaver,

Switch, you know, just daily stuff.

Not really that interesting. So over here

I've got a full body mirror, which was

gifted to me. Very nice

for checking yourself out.

And then, okay, um, next we have the

toilet room, which is behind this door.

Go into here and we have the boiler, and

then into here and this is the toilet.

Very nice.

And then we have a washing machine here,

and I've got some washing capsules. The

squishy ones. Who are these made by?

Huh, doesn't say.

That's strange. Usually it says who

they're made by. Um, yeah, into the shower

room. This is the shower room. It's very

nice. As you can

see, this place is very modern and new,

newly renovated. And I've got my,

my underwear goes in here, my socks,

and that's my armpit

hair. And then I've got some towels.

This is a new, newly cleaned towel. This

is my shower. The shower is very nice,

very wide and open. Look at this shower.

I think this is one of the best showers

I've had so far. And I've got a square

light around the mirror, but I don't like

it because it makes— makes my skin look

bad because it's like a really bright

white light. If you're gonna put a light,

you should put a yellow light so it looks

nice, not a white horrible light. So this

is the shower. It's wet because I just had

a shower, which is why my hair is wet.

You see, my hair's wet.

It's not greasy. People keep saying my

hair looks greasy. It's wet because I

washed it with shampoo. This is where I

keep my shampoo. And yeah, this is where I

have a shower.

It's got this glass wall, which is quite

good.

Uh, what else? Yeah, that's the shower.

I'm very happy with the shower room. It's

a really nice design. Shower head is

really good.

Okay, coming out of the shower room, this

is the kitchen room, and they got me a rug

which I don't really use. And this is some

of Mila's stuff that she left here because

sometimes she comes over and stays with me

for a few days, so she brought a few

things with her. And this is the kitchen,

so yeah. Pretty basic kitchen, but it gets

the job done. Got an oven,

um, oven for

roasting things. They also bought me a

kettle, which is very nice.

Um, what else? I put this cardboard here

to stop oil splashing onto the wall, and I

bought this washing rack so I can dry

stuff on there. And they bought me all

this. They bought me these plates, the

knives. I had to buy this pot myself,

but they bought me the wok and the frying

pan, so they provided me with pretty much

almost everything.

Uh, yeah, I got some rice, some cups

up here, some green tea, and I bought

this. Electric grill so

I can do some cooking during livestreams.

Got orange. I've got a dishwasher as well,

but I've never used it. I don't even know

how to open it. Oh, there we go. Yeah,

I've never used the dishwasher because I

don't really have that much washing and I

just wash it by hand. It's a lot easier.

And out here we have the garden, which

looks a bit ugly, to be honest. The garden

is not nice. And people from upstairs keep

dropping stuff into my garden. It's

happened twice now. They dropped a towel

and a bed sheet, and the second time they

dropped earphones. They knocked on my door

and I had to get their stuff for them.

I didn't understand what they wanted at

first. They kept saying something, but

they didn't really speak good English.

And then they kept pointing behind me at

the garden, so I thought, why don't you

just come in and do what you want to do?

Thankfully they didn't rob me, but it's

kind of annoying because they, they keep

dropping stuff from above. I think they've

dropped this as well because I'm pretty

sure this, this floor mat was not there

last time I looked outside. And that black

thing over there, I don't know what that

is, but it's definitely not mine. They

keep dropping things in. I'm not sure if

these little cigarette butts from up there

as well, because I can sometimes smell you

know what wafting down. I'm not sure if

they're flicking the ends of them into my

garden. That's kind of annoying. And

there's these lumps of concrete as well.

I don't really care about the garden. I

haven't even gone out into it once. I'm

not sure if I'm supposed to look after it,

but yeah, I can't be bothered. I just

shut the curtains, pretend it's not there.

So here I've got some oranges and some

storage, plenty of storage.

Got some bin bags and cream soup.

And inside my fridge, I went shopping

yesterday, so this is my fridge stocked

up. Got some eggs, pasta sauce, onions,

milk. I'm gonna make this for dinner, I

think. Chicken wings. Got some bacon,

red peppers, broccoli. Yeah, I'm stocked

up pretty well. And up here we have the

microwave, and I've got some frozen

So you may be wondering, how much am I

paying for rent? How long am I going to be

here? How is my contract? So first of all,

my rent is €1,200, which is about

$1,400, and it's about £1,100.

And that is fixed, so all utilities and

bills are included— electricity, water,

gas. I can use it as much as I want and it

stays fixed at that price. Um,

I've got a contract for about 3 months,

but I could extend it, I guess.

Uh, yeah, I think it's, it's, it's not

cheap, I guess. You know, $1,400 is— you

can't really say that's cheap compared to

the place I stayed in Japan, which was

only about $700 or $800 a month.

But it's a lot cheaper than those really

expensive Airbnbs I was staying at, which

cost over $3,000 a month. So this place is

a third of the price of the previous

places I was staying in, and it's really

big and really spacious, and it's very

modern. I've got everything I need. The

one annoying thing is the people upstairs

are just very noisy. I don't know if you

can hear them now, but they've got kids

and the kids run up and down and I can

hear everything. Every footstep is audible

and it's just a little bit, a little bit

annoying sometimes. But I guess

that is something I have to put up with

living in a place like this. It is fairly

cheap compared to other places in the

city. My plan for this room is,

hmm, I could get furniture.

Would be nice to have a cool little

computer desk gaming— computer gaming

setup here. You get a desk, computer

chair, build myself a gaming computer,

get a monitor, some nice speakers. But I

don't know if I want to start buying big

furniture items because number one,

Um, I don't really know if I'm gonna be

here for a really long time. What if I'm

only here for a month or 2, or maybe

a few months? It's kind of hard to decide

if you want to buy big furniture items if

you don't even know how permanently you're

going to be staying. So I'd rather not

just— I'd rather not buy big stuff like

that. I was thinking of turning that empty

room into a VR gaming room because

look how big this room is. I can just walk

around with the VR headset in this room

and it'll be huge, huge area

to play VR in, which would be fantastic.

Don't know if you guys like to play VR,

but I really love VR recently. I got

myself a new VR headset, it's called the

Oculus Quest 2. It's wireless,

made by Facebook, and I've been playing

Beat Saber and BigScreen, which is kind of

like a social room where you can have a

virtual room, you can meet people in there

and talk to them, watch stuff together.

And I also play this free game called Echo

VR, which is like a,

like a cross between frisbee basketball

and Quidditch, and you're floating around

in this zero-gravity arena and it's all

sci-fi. And then you have to catch a

frisbee and throw it into the enemy team's

hoops, and they'll try and get the frisbee

from you, and they'll try and knock you

out and stuff like that. It's really fun.

Missus, meow meow.
