We're moving!

我們在搬家

FINALLY omg I'm so excited!

終於！我的天 我超興奮的

A lot of you probably know we've been talking about wanting to move for years

很多人大概不曉得 我們已經考慮搬家很多年了

for a lot of reason.

也有很多原因

But one of the big reasons is we don't have any friends here anymore.

但最大的原因是我們大多數朋友都不住在附近了

Our last friend who lived close to us moved away... when almost a year ago now?

最後一位鄰居朋友搬走大概是...1年前？

I guess so, yeah.

應該是唷

Oh my gosh, almost a year ago now.

我的老天鵝 都快1年了

And we're so lonely!

我們好孤單

Turns out having a community and friends for you to go hang out with is like really important

後來發現有個能夠交流的圈子真的非常重要

to your mental health, so this has been a really depressing year for us.

尤其是精神健康 所以這一年對我們來說實在有些黯淡

We've been trying to go spend more time with friends

我們一直盡量跟朋友們多相處

like go visit friends, but it's really expensive to travel a lot

比如去探望他們呀 但走一趟過去實在太燒錢

so it'd be great if we could live a little bit closer to people we know.

所以我們搬去熟人多一點的地方會比較好

So we're finally moving!

最後我們終於決定搬家啦

And also we thought it's a good opportunity for us to show some

同時我們也覺得這是個機會

parts we don't like about this apartment.

告訴大家這公寓有哪些我們不滿意的地方

Okay this apartment is really beautiful and that's the main reason we picked it

首先我們選這的主要原因是因為公寓真的滿美的

because we have to be here so often to edit videos and I wanted something that

畢竟我們需要常在這拍片後製

makes me happy while I'm like in here all day staring at it.

還有即使我一天到晚盯著看也不會膩的住所

So like the colors are beautiful.

配色也美

I really love the white floor.

我特別愛這白色地板

I love the blue doors.

也愛這藍色大門

I love the colored walls.

和有顏色的牆

BUT this is kind of an old building

但是！這是棟老建築了

And if you start looking closely at things you notice some places where things aren't quite ideal.

一但你仔細去看 會發現有很多不便之處

So let us show you to our doorways!

讓我們先從門口帶你看看

I couldn't see your sick moves, Jun

我沒拍到你那動作 Jun

because I didn't have enough room to show your feet.

這相機不是廣角鏡 無法拍到你的腳

So yeah, this thing here...

唉 這東西

So all of the doorways to every room...

就是說每個房間的門框都太低

they are too low for Jun to be able to walk through.

壓根不夠讓Jun直接走過去

So he has to duck going through every single doorway in our apartment.

所以每次他都得低頭進房

I mean... I'm taller than normal, but still this is-

呃...雖然我高過平均身高 但這實在...

Even if I'm like average height, 175cm or something

即使我是平均身高175公分左右

still this is too low, I think.

這還是太低了

When we first moved here I went to the home center

我們剛搬來的時候 我去了家庭服務中心

and they have these like- hey can you come here-

那裡有賣...嘿你來這一下

They have these like... safety foam corner pads

他們有賣這種貼在轉角處的

that are supposed to be for professional stuff

安全防撞條

but I bought a bunch and then I spray painted them white to fit in with our apartment

我買了一些 然後噴成白色好跟這牆顏色一致

and put them here so that Jun doesn't...

貼在這 Jun就不會...

Mmmm... I think seriously though, literally I hit it more than 37

嗯...說實話 我在這4年間

times or something over the past four years.

至少撞到37次左右

Although if you look here at the thickness of this concrete beam here

而且你看這牆其實挺厚的

it's quite thick so another issue is not just running into it,

所以還有個問題就是低頭後如果起得太快就會撞到

R: And there's nothing I can do to pad this. J: Ahh please don't make me remember that.

R:然後我也無法再墊個東西上去 J:啊～不要讓我想起這事

Please don't remind me of it.

不要讓我憶起這惡夢

So this is the door that we use to get out onto our balcony

這是我們出陽台的門

which is where we store our trash and the cat litter and cat cage.

就是我們放垃圾 貓砂及籠子的地方

And it is really freaking difficult to open!

這門真的是極度難開

You have to open it from like a really low angle to be able to get a good grip to open it

還得用個低角度及巧勁來開門

and even then sometimes it just really does not want to open.

有時即使這樣做了 門也打不開

It... it's not great.

門...門實在是不優

And also, the spot where you put your fingers is so shallow

另外還有凹槽拉手特別淺

that- well Jun's using his fingertips

Jun是用他的指尖

but I have to put my fingers vertically

而我必須得豎著放手指

because if you use your fingertips your fingers can slip so easily because it's really shallow

如果用的是指尖就很容易跑掉 因為凹槽實在太淺了

that it just like rips the nails right off of your fingers

也容易造成甲床分離

which has happened to me multiple times. It's really painful lol

我已經傷了好幾次 這真的好痛

It is not fun!

真不是蓋的

Our new apartment has a much better handhold so hopefully I won't have to lose nails anymore.

我們新公寓有個更好的把手 希望不會再犧牲指甲了

And I'm not sure if you can see here very well. This is single pane glass.

再來我不確定你們看不看得到 這是單片玻璃

All of our windows and doors are single pane glass because this is just

我們所有門窗都是單片玻璃 這完全體現了

how old buildings were in Japan. Everything was single pane glass, so as

這建築有多陳舊 所有都是舊式的單片玻璃

you can imagine there's no soundproofing with this. There's no heat insulation or

你大概能想像這完全沒有隔音效果 沒有禦寒效果

cold insulation. And because the door doesn't even shut all of the way... like

或隔熱效果 正因為這扇門無法完全閉合

none of the doors shut all of the way... like the heat just goes right out.

所有門均無法完全閉合 於是房間內的暖氣就外流了

The cold air comes in in the winter. If you put your hand here you could just feel like

冬天冷風灌進來 如果把手放在這

cold air vents coming in-

完全可以感到冷風咻咻的灌進來

Aww, hey buddy.

喔～嘿 小傢伙

-which is not ideal

所以不是很理想

And then also, our downstairs neighbor is a very heavy smoker.

另外我們樓下鄰居是個老菸槍

And he smokes on his balcony or in the stairwell or literally everywhere.

他經常在陽台 樓梯間或其他地方抽菸

J: He's made of cigarettes. R: He is.

J:他根本是菸做的 R:的確是

J: He just smells like them. R: He's 90% cigarettes.

J:他全身散發菸味 R:他大概有90％是菸做的

And the smoke just comes right through these cracks in these doors into our apartment

菸味直接透過縫隙直衝我們房間

and it makes us smell like smoke and it's gross.

使我們也沾上菸味 特別噁心

When we sleep, yeahhh that's an issue.

尤其是睡覺的時候 是的那是個大問題

Um here, let's show you something fun in the bathroom.

呃...接下來讓你們看些浴室裡有趣的事

So in one of the recent videos we made I showed you guys that they got the wrong

在我們之前的影片中有跟你們說過

door for this apartment. It locks from the outside so you can

這間公寓的門裝反了 是從外側鎖上

lock someone in the bathroom?!

完全可以把人鎖在浴室裡？！

We asked the realtor when we were checking this apartment

我們曾問過房地產經紀人

and asked if it's a mistake

這是不是弄錯了

and he wasn't sure, but he was like "Yeahh why is it outside?"

他也不確定 他也說：咦 怎麼是從這側鎖

But yeah, so that's just how this is.

嗯 這問題沒下落就這樣了

And they didn't use waterproof paint in the bathroom on the windowsill

他們的牆及窗台沒有使用防水材質油漆

so almost immediately after we started taking baths...

所以當我們開始洗澡後

...it flakes and falls into our bathtub.

它逐漸剝落 掉進浴缸裡

Here Jun, how about you sit on the toilet and show people how big our toilet room is.

Jun你去坐在馬桶上讓大家看看這間廁所的大小

There's no room. There's no room for tall people!

完全沒有多餘的空間給高個的人

I mean it's really narrow even for someone my size.

即使像我這樣矮個的也稍嫌窄了些

Woohoo, mErRy ChRiStMaS

喔 聖誕節快樂

It's not Christmas yet...

聖誕節還沒到

This is my job every morning.

這是我每天早上的例行公事

He says that like it's a job but he's the one who bought this

他說這就像是他的工作 他買了這個

and decided he was gonna do it and flip the day every day.

決定自己要每天更新日期

J: I've been! R: I didn't make this decision.

J:我每天都做 R:這不是我做的決定

J: I've been. R: I had nothing to do with this.

J:我每天都做 R:這跟我一點關係也沒有

I mean it's still big enough for me but it's nice if I can- *thrashes around*

其實對我來說是夠的 但如果更大會好些

Yeah, this isn't one of the worst things about this apartment.

是的這並不是最糟糕的地方

I'm surprised that there's no screen so every time I keep this door open to freshen the air

我特別訝異這沒有紗窗 所以每當我在夏天開窗通風時

in the summer mosquitoes keep coming in.

蚊子總會飛進來

R: Oh yeah. J: We got this mosquito killer.

R:喔對 J:我們有個驅蚊的

We do have a really fancy toilet, which is nice.

我們的確有個豪華馬桶 確實不錯

But there's no ventilation in here which is also not good.

另外這並沒有排氣裝置

If you have to go to the bathroom right after someone else sometimes it's not great.

當你需要立即使用別人剛用完的浴室時 特別不好

And then the toilet paper roll,

還有這個衛生紙架

they put it so close to the wall

他們裝的特別靠近牆邊

that when you pull the toilet paper off your fingers like scratch the wall and

當你要拽出紙時 指甲酒會刮到牆壁

then we've ended up with like a whole bunch of little scratches on here

最後牆上就會出現一堆爪痕

because you just, you can't help it.

這完全無可奈何

Your hand moves in a motion toward-

你的手會從這方向拽

It's right here!

就在這

J: Can you take that guy back?

J:你能把牠弄出去嗎

Haku! C'mere buddy.

Haku！來這

J: Also, the next day- R: Hey. Hey. Excuse me. Excuse me.

J: 還有某天 R:嘿 嘿 借過一下借過一下

J: -I moved in and opened the door of the toilet then it just came off like that.

J: 我打開廁所進去後 把手就這麼掉了

R: Oh yeah, the handles come off a lot. J: Yeah.

R:喔對 把手經常掉下來 J:嗯

I mean, all things considered this is not one of the issues that bothers me the most.

這些還不是最頭痛的事

The thing that bothers me the most about this apartment is the water pressure.

這公寓最惱人的是水壓問題

This is our kitchen sink. Here, let me turn it on for you, full blast, right now.

這是我們廚房水槽 讓我們開到最大試試

WOOBOI

哇嗚

WOOBOI THAT'SA SO MUCH WATAR

這水量簡直絕了

It's actually really low.

低到不能再低

And the thing is, I don't care about the kitchen sink

其實 我並不在意這廚房的水槽

R: What bothers me is- J: It bothers me in the kitchen sink.

R:最介意的是這裡的 J:這是我介意的

We have the showerhead that makes like the water pressure the

我們有個能加壓的蓮蓬頭

strongest possible. Like we have the best showerhead for that, and it's still not

真的好用的蓮蓬頭

strong enough to penetrate my long frickin hair while I'm trying to shower.

但仍然不夠沖我這種厚度的頭髮

So for three years I have been during the traditional

所以這3年來我都是坐在洗澡椅上

bucket and stool method of filling the bathtub with water and then dumping

把浴缸裝滿水後用水瓢

it on my head with a bucket to take a shower.

這種傳統方法來洗頭

It takes forever. I HATE IT.

實在太費時了 極度討厭

It doesn't even get the shampoo out of my hair very well.

甚至還洗不乾淨

This is the probably the biggest issue for me.

這大概是我最最最大困擾

It is such a hassle to have to take a bath with a BUCKET

用水瓢沖洗實在太費事了

every single time you wanna bathe.

每次洗澡都這樣

So this isn't a bad apartment.

這真的不是間不好的公寓

It's really beautiful and it's really really cheap, too.

它確實漂亮 而且非常非常便宜的

We just wish we had more space. And I really want to be able to take showers again

我們只是希望能有更大的空間 我也特別想回到能用淋浴的洗澡方式

and for Jun to not hit his head walking through doorways.

也不想要Jun不斷地撞到頭

And I miss hanging out with friends. We're so lonely.

還有我想念跟朋友們一起生活 我們好孤單

I miss our friends, yep.

確實很想念他們

This is pretty low.

這個滿低的

For poor tall Jun.

對於高個來說 Jun

No one expected the tall Japanese man cook.

沒人會料到有個高個的日本廚師

I am gonna miss our spotlights.

我會想念這些聚光燈

We have a lot of spotlights like on this side and the other side. It's really nice.

我們有滿多這樣的聚光燈 裝在這及另一邊 滿好的

R: When we first moved in we got LED lights for everything. J: *calling the cat* Hey baby.

R: 我們剛來的時候就把燈都換上了LED J:嘿 小寶貝

They're nice and bright but also really cheap.

這些燈又亮又便宜

J: Hey Poki. R: But I'm excited.

J: 嘿Poki. R:我滿興奮的

J: Me too.

J: 我也是

We're moving to... do you wanna guess?

我們要搬到...你們要猜猜看嗎

Jun, do you wanna say where we're moving? I'll give you a drumroll.

Jun你要不要來說一下我們要搬到哪 我給你一些鼓聲音效

☆ Somewhere in Kyushu! ☆

九州的某個地方

We're moving to Fukuoka.

我們準備搬到福岡

Right now we're in like... mid-Japan?

我們現在住在日本中部

Almost pretty exactly center... kinda?

應該剛好在正中間吧？

...ish?

是嗎？

R: We're pretty central in Japan. J: Mmm yeah, we're in the middle.

R: 我們比較靠近日本中部 J:嗯對 在中部

And we're moving to the very southernmost main island of Kyushu.

然後我們要搬去最南方的九州

So this is a pretty big distance for Japan.

在日本 這算是一個滿長的距離

Kyushu is kind of considered like really far away from here, yeah.

從這裡算起 九州確實挺遠的

Wish me luck driving down to Kyushu...

我要開車去九州 祝我好運

J: Ugh... it's gonna be a long drive. R: I'll drive.

J:噢這將是個長途車程 R: 我來開車

That's one of the reasons that our videos have been extra slow, even considering us

這也是我們最近不常更新影片的原因

because we've been visiting all of our friends and talking to real estate agents

因為我們一直在跟朋友聯絡 跟房產人員聯絡

in their cities and trying to figure out if it would be an okay place to move to.

研究到底要搬到哪裡去

So we finally found a place in Fukuoka so that's where we're going.

最終我們決定去九州

I still have been trying to make cooking videos and I have a few coming up so.

我仍然有在做廚藝影片 有幾個即將發佈

Thank you guys for being so patient with us while we take our time making videos and moving.

感謝大家有耐心的等我們做影片及搬家

We're going to film as much about the moving process as possible

我們會拍一系列有關搬家影片

over on our vlog channel Rachel & Jun Adventures.

然後發佈到我們vlog頻道‘’Rachel & Jun Adventures‘’上

But that won't be until a few months from now

但距離那時還有幾個月

because we have to go to America

因為我們得先去趟美國

like tomorrow.

明天出發

SO.

所以

I can't wait to do cat litter DIY.

我等不及做些貓砂的DIY

Oh yeah (x3) Oh that's one of the things I forgot to show you guys!

喔對＊3 喔有個東西我忘了

But that's not about our apartment.

這跟我們公寓無關

Yeah! Yeah it is! Because this is the size of our apartment.

不 有關係跟我們公寓的大小有關

This is our main litter box. Note its proximity-

這是我們主要的便斗注意看它的距離

Did you just say this is OUR main litter box?

你剛是說‘’我們‘’的便斗

R: Yeah, this is our cats' main litter box. J: Our CATS' main litter box.

R: 對 主要給貓使用的便斗 J: 給我們的貓使用的便斗

Note the proximity to Jun's desk

看看這與Jun的桌子距離

and to our TV

還有電視的距離

and to our kitchen

廚房的距離

and I forgot to show you MY desk.

還有我忘了給你們看我的桌子

I sit here on the corner of the couch to edit videos- hang on

我平時坐在沙發上剪輯影片

I always bang my knee on this corner over here.

我常常在這撞到膝蓋

This is where I sit and edit videos

這是我平時剪輯影片的地方

or play Overwatch

或打鬥陣特攻遊戲的地方

or watch cartoons.

或看卡通的地方

I guess when people watch my videos, my cooking, I always set it around this angle.

大家看我廚藝的影片 我都是把鏡頭架在這角度

It does look kind of wider and spacious I guess.

這樣看起來比較寬廣一些

R: Yeah, whenever we have someone visit us- J: It's just this.

R: 當我們有訪客的時候 J: 就這樣

Every time we've had someone visit us they've said "Wow it looked a lot bigger in your videos."

他們總說 哇～這裡比你們影片看起來還要小很多

"I thought your apartment was nicer. What is this shit?"

我以為你住的地方更好些 這是什麼鬼

It's like a movie magic sort of perspective thing.

就像個魔法角度似的

I don't know, maybe because it's white?

我也不曉得 可能因為是白色的？

J: Yeah, the color does help. Yeah, the white. R: It's a lot smaller in real life.

J: 沒錯 這顏色造成的視覺效果 R: 這比實際要小多了

It's an expansive color.

是個會膨脹的顏色

Anyway, super excited. Omg so excited to move!

無論如何 我特別興奮 我的天好期待搬家

R: We'll see you guys later. J: See ya!

R: 下次再見囉 J: 再見
