hi I'm Chen 31 years old and I still live with my parents in a beautiful small city in Yunnan China Today I'll take you on a tour of my parents apartment they bought this apartment in 2022 the total price was 600,000 RMB which is about 85000 US dollars the apartment is 83 square meters in total it has two bedrooms two balconies one bathroom one separate toilet and a living room this is the entrance of the apartment building there are three apartments on each floor and one elevator the staff clean the shared areas every day so the whole building is kept
clean and tidy we have a very good relationship with our neighbors they are not at home recently and because I need to repair my bike I temporarily parked it here today of course I asked for their permission first this small area near the door is where we take off our shoes and put our jackets hats and keys the small cabinet next to it is for my bags masks and other small things you may know that Chinese people care a lot about sun Protection especially in places like this where the sunlight is very strong there are two shoe cabinets here so we can put
more shoes inside this is the area with the fridge and the dining table I like putting some family photos on the fridge of course there are also many different fridge magnets for example these 4 fridge magnets are all traditional Chinese musical instruments this is the dining area but we usually like eating near the TV so I put some snacks and fruits here recently I really like fried chicken with sauce ordering food online is very convenient here these six chicken wings cost about $2 convenient and delicious our kitchen is not very big but it's enough
for us usually my dad or I cook luckily my mom is not a picky eater no matter what we make she always says it's delicious even when it's not exactly her favorite food she is a quiet but kind person this is our balcony for daily use because our kitchen is not big enough we keep things like the rice cooker potatoes and garlic here 啊啊啊 in most Chinese families we don't usually use a dryer we just hang our clothes in places with fresh air or sunlight to dry them by the way do you like a certain smell it's the warm smell that clothes have after being
dried in the sun near the living room there is a large storage cabinets inside we keep many different things and some books there are also two bibles here they were gifts from our Christian neighbors to my mom this is our living room area we usually watch movies and eat here recently I started watching cartoons again I guess I'm really a childish adult I really like black sofas but this sofa was originally gray so I bought a cover for it this cover cost about $10 actually I decorated all the soft decorations in this home my parents are not very good at
decorating but I enjoy finding cheap and beautiful little things online to make our home feel warmer and more comfortable this flower pot has a very special shape it was a gift from my aunt every time I open the door and see this flower for the first time I feel a little warmth in my heart this is another balcony the flowers here were also carefully chosen by me we mainly use this area for drinking tea having coffee studying and reading books this cabinet is made of solid wood the quality is very good and the design is really cute it cost $42 what do you
think isn't it quite cheap this ice maker was a gift from my uncle during summer I really can't live without ice how about where you live is it hot right now would you like a glass of ice tea speaking of this icemaker yesterday I took it apart and cleaned the inside because there was some scale build up I realize that machines like water dispensers and icemakers can easily collect dirt and bacteria so please also pay attention to the safety and health of the water you drink I really like the smell of sandalwood before studying or going to sleep I like to
light an incense stick to help me relax recently I've been watching an American TV show to practice my English English is not my first language and everyone around me speaks Chinese so I need to keep learning and practicing English every day 里奥里奥look up 里奥里奥look up next to this balcony is my room my bed is quite small only 90 cm wide I do all my work at this desk the small sofa next to it was a gift from my aunt I also put my master's degree certificate in a place where I can easily see it for some interesting little things I always try
to find a way to put them on the wall I have quite a lot of bags but they are all fake please don't judge me I just like how they look I really can't afford to buy the real ones most of them cost less than $20 the canvas bags are only about $4 wangzai come over shake my hand shake my hand my dog really likes coming to my room in the middle of the night she quietly looks at me for a while and then leaves sometimes she also sleeps on my carpet for the whole night we only have one bathroom but luckily it has a separate area for the shower and the toilet I
really can't stand having a wet floor after taking a shower I'm sorry it's a little noisy here because the parking lot outside is still under construction don't worry I won't leave you here let's go to my mama's room but she's sleeping my mom's room is very simple many times I wanted to help her decorate it but she always refused she says everyone has different habits I actually agree with her idea this is our home it is just a normal apartment and we are part of an ordinary Chinese family we don't spend money before we can afford it we try to save money
and comparing prices before buying something is part of our way of spending thank you so much for watching until the end see you next time
