Hello everyone! Now I need to buy something to tidy up my room
because my skin care and makeup products
are lying on the desk
It just looks so messy
It's Monday so all shops are open finally
It's getting warmer but a bit windy
I'm not wearing a scarf toady
and it's my first time wearing only one pair of pants
I usually wear two
this is my neighborhood
a residential area
 
with many houses around
 
I live in this house
 
with a blue rooftop, a lovely one
I prefer blue to those red ones
So here we are in the "One Euro" store
like the "Japan City" store in Hong Kong
like the "Japan City" store in Hong Kong
offering low priced products
Then I come to this store called "Woolworth"
which Ding Jai recommended me
to grab some daily commodies
Things are so cheap and they sell a variety of goods
The dishes only cost one euro for most of them
 
But the point is that they are not made in China but in Spain
 
So I've just arrived home
 
It's a bit noisy outside
because our neighbor might be cutting grass
as Spring is coming soon
so I guess they are gardening
to welcome the arrival of Spring
I'm going to show you guys this messy room at the back
so you can see the difference of before and after
 
starting from this side with a bed
then a writing desk
 
 
and then some food here but still fine
but
these bags are all from my shopping
 
so I can use them to pack up things
then make the desk tidy
then make the desk tidy
I'm going to make a room tour
to show you guys where I live in Germany
This place is called Goettingen
"Gor Ting Gun" in Cantonese
It's a university town
so the main population is student
we need to look for a room
or apply for the student residence
As there are too many students
so the student residence is undersupply
like in Hong Kong
so we need to look for a room in the private market
meanwhile waiting for an offer from student residence
but there are different types of student residence
with different renting fee
we don't know if the offer meets our expectations
 
For example my flatmate
she introduced this place to me
she got an offer of student residence but she didn't rent it at the end
she said because she liked it there so much
that she decided to stay here
Each semester many students come here
for exchange, internship or a degree program
or a degree program
It's hard for international students to get a room
if you don't speak German
I started sending emails
the first week I arrived here
trying to search on internet
 
some people invited me to visit their apartments
but only a few of them
As I don't speak German
the emails I sent out were all in English
I feel lucky that I posted on a Facebook page (for international student)
asking people for help
Then my flatmate here
a Bangladeshi girl
doing a Bachelor's degree here
She told me, " there is a vacant room next to my room."
you can contact the landlady for a visit
then I WhatsApped the landlady
They are a German couple in their 50s
their children have moved out
so they have some vacant room for rent
so far I like it here
having a big room for myself
made me feel satisfied
you know it's so crowding in Hong Kong
I used to share a room
with my sister and brother
I've been wanting my own space
like everyone else wanting to move out
or at least have my own room
but it's almost impossible in Hong Kong
 
I'm paying 300 Euros per month here
including all the utilities
 
 
It seems that they are all out today
I don't find them in the house
It's also well connected
I can take the bus to the university
only involving 2 mins walking
to the bus stop
10-15 mins bus ride
and a few mins walk to the campus
but Ding Jai always persuades me
to get a bike
because it's more convenient
it's stressful to take a bus
like missing the bus or encountering a strike etc
Alright. Let's go on to the room tour
This little rice cooker was brought here from Hong Kong
 
others were bought here
I'm doing my laundry later
I do love this mug for its special design
it's slantwise
Now let's do the laundry
and look at the house
My room is on the third floor, the top floor
the view is nice
 
the funny part is that the shower place
is located in the kitchen
we need to lock the kitchen door when showering
Each house in Germany
has 3-4 trash bins
we need to classify the trash
maybe I'll introduce this complicated classification of trash
in another episode
On the right is a toilet
quite small one
the office of our landlady is on this floor
this door is to the garden
it's not finished yet
in summer we can sun bath
and eat outside
the son of our landlord is working in China
He bought this door
the white door on the left in the kitchen
leads us to the basement
 
I feel scared to go to the basement according to some movies
you can't receive any signals in the basement
Except the laundry room
there is a music room
for the landlords to play music with friends
the landlady play musical instruments
and the landlord can even craft musical instruments
so amazing
