    i like how small the apartments are. looks homey to me.
    does it get cold in your apartment?

    • @MelodyAlisa
      @MelodyAlisa  8 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      It is :) And yeah, it does, turning the ondol on during winter is definitely necessary but because I have a floor below and above me, I stay pretty insulated!

    • @TokyoDogz
      @TokyoDogz 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mel on the Move lucky you.
      i'm curious. have u ever tried watching korean dramas/movies. i mean u live there.. u got a tv. a beautiful one at that 😌

    • @MelodyAlisa
      @MelodyAlisa  8 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      lol honestly, I've only turned it on like once but I've watched some here and there with friends but I've never gotten into any.

    • @TokyoDogz
      @TokyoDogz 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Mel on the Move well, that's too bad. i don't know if you like thrillers, but if you ever have time. try watching korean movie: I saw the devil.

      I have no excuse, I love studio type places because I am LAZY. Cleaning is minimal and arranging is also minimal.

    This is such a great video! I'm moving to Korea in March to teach for EPIK so I love seeing what the apartments will look like!

  • @mischasweets1
    @mischasweets1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +91

    I always look forward to your vids. Could you do a "What to wear in Korea" video or similar?? I applied to Epik and I'm already thinking about packing lol

  • @ruaimaahasan6049
    @ruaimaahasan6049 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This was filmed really well, i have to applaud you. It was so smooth. Usually room/house tours make me sick because the person filming shakes the camera too much. You on the other hand did very well. Thank you for giving us a peek at your home, especially because i want to live in Korea

  • @jeantippenhauer6857

    @mischasweets1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +24

  • @icecol22
    @icecol22 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love your affirmations on your mirror,.I paused the video to read them.You keep seeking Him(Jesus Christ ).You have encouraged me. Thank you for sharing.

  • @Arantxa177
    @Arantxa177 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Your apartment looks so cool. (I kinda had an idea what it would look like. Result of watching too many Korean dramas) It's my dream to travel and live there forever.

  • @adienecuador

    It reminds me of my university accommodation in Ireland to be honest, small and cozy with everything you really need. Ilike it, it's cute!

  • @AssumesAllRisks
    @AssumesAllRisks 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is the first vid I've watched on your channel. I have been researching Korea and how to teach there and I can't wait to watch the other videos!! God bless from North Carolina!!!

  • @sweziarmywicks6692
    @sweziarmywicks6692 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am SO HAPPY that I have stumbled upon your channel 💜 I was first introduced through your Christian blog and happened to pick up the fact that you had previously been to Korea .👏🏽👏🏽 I am a former teacher with 25+ yrs of experience from which I have taken a “break” [only God knows His plans for me whether I return or not] to focus on my health since Covid.
    I actually became a part of the Ginormous “BTS ARMY “ during Covid and have NOT come out of the rabbit 🐇 🕳 hole I got stuck in!!! 😂🤣 I say as long as they are not leading me on a path to Hell, then I am going to continue to enjoy my journey with them and ride this HALLYU of music, fashion, culture; food, K-dramas [Yep, I’m STUCK in that hole as well 😜😅], and MORE…
    I Live in Tulsa, OKlahoma (USA , for foreigners watching and reading who may be unfamiliar) with my 13 years old daughter who is currently in Tulsa’s FIRST EVER K-pop dance group: “Synergi Dance Crew💜” 🤩👏🏽🤗😎🤩 God has opened a door I could NEVER imagine having gone through so I am cautiously being open and watchful for direction. I also have an older daughter (age 29) who followed in my footsteps as well and teaches at Tulsa’s first Public Montessori school . My oldest and only son (31) is a coordinator for a program for teen fathers in the school district. So we are ALL educators🙌🏾😇🙏🏾 (didn’t anticipate giving you my life story 🤪) “IN-Ti-wayyyy!! (anyways) ….
    Like I said, Im happy I stumbled upon you and found a WEALTH OF HELPFUL INFORMATION about Korea from your actual EXPERIENCE 😍🤩😎 I look forward to seeing the journey you captured along the way! 👏🏽👏🏽 You are bright, CHEERFUL, precise, insightful, knowledgeable, PASSIONATE, and MORE when it comes to sharing these videos with others and I hope they CONTINUE to enlighten others.
    I am currently trying to learn Korean via the “TEUIDA” free App that is 😮VERY INTERACTIVE and fun to use. I’m hoping to visit and possibly live at least 6mos -a year in Seoul or nearby before deciding to be Marian (on the move like you). My youngest and I have watched as many videos as possible about what life would be like as a black person there; but to have insight from someone who is following after Christ helps us further build a SOLID foundation built upon our CORNERSTONE(Jesus). I LUV that you gave this tour of the apartment from the entry all the way to the bathroom (and everything between) because I was DEFINITELY CURIOUS as to the details. Other have just briefly shown where they live but NOT as detailed of a tour; KUDOS 👏🏽👏🏽 QUESTION: THAT 🚿 SHOWER!!! THE WHOLE BATHROOM IS THE SHOWER AREA??? Floor and ALL w/ NO SEPARATE CORNERED AREA!!!??? (If it’s what it looked like (( and I thought I heard you say everything gets wet)) that would mean the toilet 🚽 AND THE SINK as well would be soaked! AM I GETTING THIS INFO CORRECTLY?
    Okay, ‘enuf ‘ for now 😝😇😁 GOD BLESS & THANK YOU 🙏🏾 Marian “NOT the Librarian 🙂”

  • @shikarim9246
    @shikarim9246 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Seeing this video (aside from getting more insight of housing in Korea) has made me want to storage all of my collectibles I've invested in, and live with only the necessities. I live with my pets in my fully (if not overly ) furnished two bedroom apartment in the US.
    I can't stand having so much stuff.
    If anything's not in place, I would so easily be able to find it. Nothing would look/be cluttered, I would save more money if I don't have the capacity to buy more to keep with me.
    I've enjoyed some ganja and when I open my eyes to new things in life, it's an amazing experience.

    @JJuli 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Seriously the most random things are high tech, and then you still hang up your washing 😂
    The bathroom is exactly like that I see in Cameroonian homes~ The detachable shower head and EVERYTHING gets wet.. I wish they had that in America.

  • @geenapowers5609
    @geenapowers5609 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    @puriezeondy9425 8 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I really hope you answer. Have you found a church in Korea? It's the one thing no one seems to speak about.

    • @pleadthfifth94
      @pleadthfifth94 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There definitely are churches available , but you have to look. If you are Seventh Day Adventist or open to visiting another denomination, try checking out the SDA Language Institute in the area near you. The schools generally have services on Saturdays.

    @knoelluna 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just found your channel, and can I just say that I love you and your channel already?
    I’m part Korean and I live in the US, but I’m obsessed with everything Korean? I so want to go and live there one day!
    I just need to become fluent in Korean, and get a job once I’m done with school, and blah blah blah...(insert adult stuff)

  • @3rdeyetwaa
    @3rdeyetwaa 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What is the security like? And does your personal door have a lock? What are the stores like regarding grocery shopping for food. I watched your grilled cheese video, and while I love Pho I'd like the option to make a grilled cheese or veggie burger. lol. Is that possible there? Your videos have me thinking about this EPIK program.

    @koreanpeninsula8651 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do you that southern area ( 경상복도) is rich part of South Korea. Busan, Ulsan, that areas are nice. One thing keep in mind. You are staying in strong regional South Korea. Take pride in own accent, culture, food, region. Very different from Seoul or other areas in South Korea. Love East Sea. Apartment is nice.

  • @huniebee2999
    @huniebee2999 8 ปีที่แล้ว +56

    For no reason at all I got hype as fuck seeing Cantu and Shea Moisture in your bathroom cabinet. Anyway, is it difficult to shower in the bathroom? Knowing me, I'd probably get water just about everywhere.

    • @MelodyAlisa
      @MelodyAlisa  8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      haha! Water does go everywhereeee - no way to avoid it but you get used to it

    • @huniebee2999
      @huniebee2999 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mel on the Move I was discussing this with my younger cousin snd she suggested getting a shower curtain. I think it would definitely help to shield everything from getting totally wet.

    • @MelodyAlisa

    Oh! You're from Orlando? I too am also from Orlando and am thinking about moving to Korea as well some day! I've actually been watching lots of these kinds of Korean videos to get a better sense of how it will be like when I move there or decide to visit there, it seems very cool and interesting and I always wanted to immerse myself in a culture that isn't mine.

    • @MelodyAlisa
      @MelodyAlisa  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      heyyy fellow Orlandian! that's awesome, if you're interested, you should definitely do it. It's been an amazing experience thus far!

  • @oliviam469
    @oliviam469 8 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    Do you go out to eat a lot since you said you don't really cook at home? I always hear and see youtubers saying things like that and a lot of youtubers go to multiple cafes in one video so I was wondering if it was expensive to eat out a lot over there?

    • @MelodyAlisa
      @MelodyAlisa  8 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      Yep, the way it works out, eating out isn't that expensive in general and also bc most meals are communal so you split the cost 2 or 3 ways which makes it even cheaper.

  • @applesasch3608

  • @aVlokkie
    @aVlokkie 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @MelodyAlisa
      @MelodyAlisa  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      woo woo, thanks awesome! my school paid for my apartment but I believe it was around 300,000-450,000 KRW a month

    • @MelodyAlisa
      @MelodyAlisa  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, they don't. They only come with a fridge and washer machine and your school is required to provide you with a bed, table, chair, and TV.

      @SNSDforever2NE1 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      SARAH ISA I read that the requirements are being a native teacher and having experience teaching (more than 2 years) and having a degree (any degree).
      i'm in your same situation, even I'm not in college yet I have a certificate of English auxiliar teacher and I can teach in my country but I don't know in Korea because my first language is Spanish :(

    • @sarahisa4747
      @sarahisa4747 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah but it's optional and not necessary as long as you have the degree. I'm concerned about the nationalities that they ask for :(.

      Then the only thing you need is having a master in teaching ans having 2 years of experience teaching

      @SNSDforever2NE1 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope, I've seen the requirements and asked an American teacher from my high school who taught and both say even you have a degree you must have experience in teaching for at least 2 years.

      When she shows the bathroom, she says everything's going to get all wet! Shit. I'm outta there. I'm not going to get used to that. I would have to find my own place and pay like 1 million won or more per month, that's like half the salary. You get what you pay for!

    Do you think you'll stay in Korea another year? Do you have a teaching certificate? I'm asking because I'm interested in applying through Korvia. What cities to your knowledge would be great as far as social interaction and more African Americans or even friendly.

    • @MelodyAlisa
      @MelodyAlisa  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, this year will be my last and yes, I have a TEFL certification.

    Enjoyed your video!
    I'm going to Korea in February. I saw your suitcases, and I was wondering, how many suitcases did you bring with you initially to Korea? Was it enough to bring everything you needed or did you have to leave a lot of stuff at home?

    • @MelodyAlisa
      @MelodyAlisa  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching! I brought 2 big suitcases and a carry on and honestly, I brought more clothes than I needed to lol.

    • @musicify649
      @musicify649 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mel on the Move Wow, really?! I'm trying to pre-plan my packing and I'm nervous everything I want to bring won't fit in 2 suitcases. But that's good to hear that you had plenty of room! I'll just have to keep that in mind. Thanks!!
      Would you by any chance be willing to do a 'What to pack' video? Maybe of the stuff that you brought that you really needed, stuff you didn't need, and stuff you wish you'd brought? Thanks again! Always enjoy your videos :)

    hi! I'm not sure when you're coming back to the states (if you are), but one of my biggest concerns about going to teach in Korea is not knowing what to do or not finding a good job when I come back to the states. Do you have any ideas for work when you come back?

    • @MelodyAlisa

    I'm 13 and I really want to teach in the epik program, I'm willing to put in the effort for my degree's and education, as I've always been a hard worker. I'm currently in my second year of secondary school (I think that's middle school in America, not sure sorry) and I have the right standards for high grades in English, but our teacher is unbelievably strict with grading and the highest I've got is a C but he has graded everybody with a C, so u just wanted to know if middle school grades matter and also I don't even know if there will be an epik program in 2025 which is the year I turn 21. Could you help me?
