Came down here.

來到這裡。

Welcome back to my channel.

歡迎回到我的頻道。

I'm sorry.

我很抱歉

I've been gone for so long.

我已經走了這麼久了。

As you can see, I'm in an empty room in my apartment, which you can all probably guess that.

如你們所見，我在公寓的一個空房間裡，你們大概都能猜到。

Yeah, I've moved out.

是的，我已經搬出去了。

So I'm very happy to have a new fresh start.

所以我很高興能有一個新的開始。

So because I've moved out of this apartment, I've been gone for about a week.

所以因為我搬出了這間公寓，我已經離開了一個星期了。

I really wanted to give you guys a full empty apartment or to show you guys where I lived for the past two years.

我真的很想給你們一個完整的空公寓，或者讓你們看看我過去兩年住的地方。

I'm also going to be talking about the prices, the rent for this apartment.

我還想說的是這個公寓的價格、租金。

Why we chose it at the end of the video.

為什麼我們在視頻的最後選擇了它。

So without photo do, let's start the tour.

那麼不拍照做，我們就開始參觀吧。

Here is the kitchen and living room.

這裡是廚房和客廳。

And this is what you see when you first entered the apartment.

這就是你第一次進入公寓時看到的東西。

So as you can see, it's pretty spacious and has a lot of room.

所以你可以看到，它的空間相當寬敞，而且空間很大。

The kitchen is quite large.

廚房挺大的。

I think I really love this island because it makes things so much easier when you're cooking.

我想我真的很喜歡這個島，因為當你做飯的時候，它可以讓事情變得更加簡單。

Luckily, the apartment came with a fridge and a washing machine, so we didn't have to buy our own.

幸運的是，公寓裡有冰箱和洗衣機，所以我們不用自己買。

So we save some money there.

所以我們在那裡省了一些錢。

The stove is pretty standard.

爐子很標準。

But I was so happy to find out that we had gas stoves.

但我發現我們有煤氣灶，我很高興。

I don't really like those induction stoves.

我不太喜歡那些電磁爐。

I much prefer gas.

我更喜歡汽油。

We have an oven.

我們有一個烤箱。

The storage space in this kitchen was actually quite decent, but I found that it wasn't enough, especially when I started baking inside the country.

這個廚房的儲物空間其實還算不錯，但是我發現不夠用，尤其是當我開始在國內烘焙的時候。

This is where the microwave goes and yet lots of space in here and in these drawers.

這是放微波爐的地方，但這裡和這些抽屜裡卻有很多空間。

This is where our cutlery goes.

我們的餐具就放在這裡。

And then I used to put my pots and pans plates inside here.

然後我就把我的鍋碗瓢盆盤子放在這裡面。

This is one of my favorite things in the kitchen.

這是我在廚房裡最喜歡的東西之一。

This pantry.

這個茶水間。

I love it so much, So much space to put all my herbs and spices.

我很喜歡它，這麼大的空間可以放我所有的香草和香料。

I have a dishwasher.

我有一個洗碗機。

I actually never really use it that much, but it's there, and it's handy when I needed it.

其實我從來沒有真正用過那麼多，但它在那裡，當我需要它的時候，它很方便。

Now one of the main things that drew us to this apartment was this storage room.

現在，吸引我們來到這間公寓的主要原因之一就是這個儲藏室。

I have a lot of stuff, so I need a lot of space to store it.

我有很多東西，所以我需要很多空間來存放。

So this room was perfect for that.

所以這個房間是最適合的。

Then, next to the storage, we have the laundry area.

然後，在儲藏室旁邊，我們有洗衣區。

We've got a washing machine and a dryer.

我們有一臺洗衣機和一臺烘乾機。

I actually never, ever touched the dryer.

其實我從來沒有，沒有碰過烘乾機。

We usually just hang stuff ourselves.

我們通常只是自己掛東西。

Just let it dry naturally.

讓它自然風乾即可。

But yeah, this all belongs to landlords.

但是啊，這一切都屬於地主。

So it was great that we didn't have to spend money on it.

所以，我們不用花錢買，這很好。

So this here is the living area.

所以這裡是生活區。

Now I look at it, it's quite spacious, but when we had furniture in here, we didn't have enough room to put a dining table in, unfortunately.

現在一看，還挺寬敞的，可惜我們這裡有傢俱的時候，空間不夠，放不下一張餐桌。

Um, but yeah, let's go outside of the balcony.

嗯，但是是的，讓我們去外面的陽臺。

One thing I loved about this place was a view like, Look at this, guys.

我喜歡這個地方的一個特點就是，你們看，這裡的景色。

We have a city view.

我們有一個城市景觀。

So as you can see, we lived right in the middle of the city, and it was great.

所以你也看到了，我們就住在城市的中心，很不錯。

Um, you can see down there.

嗯，你可以看到下面。

That is George Street.

那是喬治街。

You can see the trams sometimes.

你有時可以看到電車。

Yeah, it's very, very convenient.

是的，這非常非常方便。

This area outside was quite nice.

外面這塊地方挺好的。

I never really went outside that much because it was quite dusty because it's in the city.

我從來沒有去過那麼多外面，因為是在城市裡，所以灰塵挺多的。

And I'm like, highly allergic to dust.

我喜歡，高度過敏的灰塵。

Yeah.

是啊。

Yeah.

是啊。

Now going back inside to the left.

現在回到左邊的裡面去。

This was our bedroom.

這是我們的臥室。

So we were thinking of using the on suite as the main bedroom, but we realized that if we use this as a computer room, it would heat up way too much and we get too hot because the sun is quite strong inside this bedroom.

所以我們想把上套房作為主臥室，但是我們意識到如果把這裡作為電腦房的話，熱量太大，我們會太熱，因為這個臥室裡面的陽光相當強烈。

So, yeah, we decided not to do that and put our bed in here instead.

所以，是的，我們決定不這樣做 並把我們的床在這裡代替。

It is pretty small, but look at the view.

雖然挺小，但看看這風景。

Guys love it.

夥計們喜歡它。

It's so amazing.

太神奇了

This is the closet.

這是衣櫃。

So I had a lot of space.

所以我有很大的空間。

I had a chest of drawers in there, but I moved up to my new apartment, but yeah, there's a lot of room inside here.

我在那裡有一個抽屜， 但我搬到我的新公寓， 但是，是的，有一個很大的空間 裡面這裡。

It was just perfect for me.

這對我來說簡直是完美的。

The draws here also came with the apartment, So yeah, it was really handy to have.

這裡的抽獎活動也是隨公寓而來，所以啊，真的很方便。

I love having draws.

我喜歡有抽籤。

I can organize my clothes better.

我可以更好地整理我的衣服。

And there was this little area here where we just put a mirror and, you know, ironing board.

這裡有一個小區域，我們只是放了一面鏡子和，你知道，熨衣板。

This is the bathroom.

這是浴室。

So here's a shower.

所以這裡有一個淋浴。

It's quite small.

它是相當小的。

I didn't mind the size, but what I didn't like was that there was no door.

我不介意大小，但我不喜歡的是沒有門。

So water would, like, split out when we shower.

所以我們洗澡的時候，水會像，分出來。

We had a bath mat there.

我們那裡有一個浴墊。

Yeah, it would always get soaked.

是啊，它總是會被浸泡。

So we had to pull it back a bit.

所以我們不得不把它拉回來一點。

But besides that, everything else is great.

但除此之外，其他一切都很好。

I love how much storage that is in this bathroom.

我喜歡這個浴室裡的儲物空間。

So you guys know me.

所以你們認識我。

I have, like, so much skincare.

我有，喜歡，這麼多的護膚品。

So this was perfect for me.

所以這對我來說是完美的。

So see, that guy's the amount of storage in this bathroom was insane.

所以你看，那個傢伙在這個浴室裡的儲物量是瘋狂的。

I actually filled up most of these shelves towards the end.

其實在最後我把這些架子的大部分都裝滿了。

Um, yeah.

嗯，是的。

I had to get rid of a lot of stuff because yeah, I tend to hoard skincare.

我不得不擺脫很多東西，因為是的，我傾向於囤積護膚品。

Right.

好吧，我知道了

Moving on.

繼續前進。

This is the second bedroom.

這是次臥。

Now, we use this as a computer room.

現在，我們把這裡當成了電腦室。

So we had the computer and my makeup table here.

所以我們這裡有電腦和我的化妝臺。

We wanted to use this room as a computer room because it was darker and it wouldn't hit up as much apartments.

我們想把這個房間作為電腦房，因為它比較暗，不會打出那麼多公寓。

Actually, pretty warm, because it's quite high up.

其實，挺暖和的，因為它挺高的。

We have a second balcony, To be honest, I don't know why we have a second balcony.

我們有第二個陽臺，說實話，我不知道為什麼我們有第二個陽臺。

We never went out here because if he's not that gray and I just used it as a storage.

我們從來沒有在這裡出去，因為如果他不是那麼灰暗，我只是把它作為一個存儲。

So put suitcases there, but yeah, this room is also pretty spacious.

所以把行李箱放在那裡，不過是的，這個房間也很寬敞。

This is Eric's closet.

這是埃裡克的衣櫃。

It's a lot smaller than my closet, but he doesn't have as many clothes as I do, so it was perfect for him as well.

雖然比我的衣櫃小很多，但是他的衣服沒有我多，所以對他來說也很完美。

So the closet is a lot smaller.

所以衣櫃小了很多。

And as you can see, we left the chest of drawers in there because we didn't need it.

如你所見，我們把抽屜櫃留在那裡，因為我們不需要它。

It looks really good in that it fits perfectly.

它看起來真的很好，在它完全適合。

This is the on suite bathroom, and I'm gonna be honest with you guys.

這是套房的衛生間，我跟你們說實話。

I use this as a storage.

我用這個作為存儲。

I didn't see the point on using two showers because it was only me and Eric in this department.

我不明白使用兩個淋浴器的意義，因為這個部門只有我和埃裡克。

And using both showers means more cleaning.

而使用兩個淋浴器意味著更多的清潔。

So, yeah, we also have a lot of storage in this bathroom once again.

所以，是的，我們這個衛生間也再一次有了很多的儲物空間。

So believe it or not, this bathroom is filled with stuff.

所以，不管你信不信，這個衛生間裡都裝滿了東西。

I also had a bathtub, which is really cool as well.

我也有一個浴缸，這也是非常酷的。

Now, we did have a swimming pool.

現在，我們確實有一個游泳池。

It was raining the day I filmed, so I didn't go into swimming pool.

拍攝那天下雨，所以我沒有去游泳館。

But we had a nice view of the city from the pool, and yeah, I mean, I didn't really use it that much.

但我們在泳池裡能看到城市的美景 是的，我的意思是，我並沒有真正使用它那麼多。

To be honest, we had a nice barbecue area.

說實話，我們有一個不錯的燒烤區。

Um, you know, I used to come down once in a while, but I really use it that is my empty apartment tour in the place that I lived in for two years.

嗯，你知道，我曾經下來一次在一段時間， 但我真的用它，是我的空公寓旅遊 在我住了兩年的地方。

So I'm now going to talk about the costs and the location and why I chose this apartment.

所以我現在要講的是費用和位置，以及我為什麼選擇這間公寓。

So the cost.

所以成本。

This apartment was almost $1000 a week to rent, and that was pre covid.

這套公寓一週的租金差不多是1000美元，這是前covid。

So after Copa, we actually got a little bit of a discount.

所以在科帕之後，我們其實是有一點折扣的。

But yeah, in Australia, they charged rent by week, so $1000 a week, approximately $4000 a month now.

不過也對，在澳洲，他們是按周收房租的，所以一週1000元，現在一個月大概4000元。

I'm very well aware that it's very expensive, but Sydney is one of the most expensive city to live in the world.

我很清楚，這裡很貴，但雪梨是世界上最貴的生活城市之一。

And also, if you do go a bit further outside of the city, it does become cheaper.

而且，如果你真的去城外更遠的地方，確實會變得更便宜。

But the reason why we chose this apartment when we decided that we were going to move to Sydney in 2000 and 19, Eric and I knew nothing about Sydney.

但為什麼我們在2000年決定要搬到雪梨的時候選擇了這間公寓，19歲的我和Eric對雪梨一無所知。

I've only been to Sydney like a couple of times before for work, and I would only say for maybe one day, two days, then go back to Perth straight away.

我之前因為工作的原因，只去過雪梨好象幾次，我只能說大概一天，兩天，然後直接回珀斯。

So I never really got the chance to explore other suburbs, so we decided when we moved to Sydney that we were going to rent in the city for a year, try and explore other suburbs and then eventually move out into the suburbs when we decide to move.

所以我一直沒有機會去探索其他的郊區，所以我們搬到雪梨的時候就決定，我們要在市區租房一年，嘗試探索其他的郊區，最後決定搬家的時候再搬到郊區。

Now, yes, so one of the downsides of living in the city, the noise.

現在，是的，所以住在城市的缺點之一，噪音。

It's very noisy because Sydney drivers are crazy.

因為雪梨的司機都很瘋狂，所以很吵。

They just beef and everything.

他們只是牛肉和一切。

It's like just chill.

這就像只是寒冷。

Anyway, where was I at?

總之，我剛才在哪裡？

So the original plan was to move to Sydney, explore for a year, move out and then, you know, settle down.

所以最初的計劃是搬到雪梨，探索一年，搬出去，然後，你知道，定居下來。

But okay, Unfortunately, COVID came up when our lease expired for this place last year.

不過還好，不幸的是，去年我們這個地方租約到期的時候，出現了COVID。

And I wasn't really comfortable going out to apartment viewings.

而且我也不太喜歡出去看房。

Drink over now during covid.

現在喝過covid期間。

All the apartment viewings like they were all done online anyway, so I didn't really want to move into a place without seeing it in person first.

反正所有的公寓看房一樣都是在網上進行的，所以我真的不想在沒有親眼看到的情況下就搬進去住。

And also because of what was going on, I wasn't really comfortable moving, so we decided to sign for another year and got a red reduction because of you know what was going on.

也因為是怎麼回事，我不太放心搬家，所以我們決定再籤一年，因為你知道是怎麼回事，所以被減了紅包。

When we first moved to Sydney, I actually already had my eyes set on this apartment building because I was looking online for apartments for a couple of weeks before we came over.

我們剛搬到雪梨的時候，其實我已經看中了這棟公寓樓，因為在過來之前，我在網上找了幾個星期的公寓。

Now I believe we looked at eight apartments in this building.

我相信我們在這棟樓裡看了八套公寓。

This was actually the very first apartment I visited.

這其實是我參觀的第一間公寓。

And initially I didn't like it mainly because the corner apartment they looked like a penthouse because they were all open window, which looks stunning in the photos.

而一開始我不喜歡，主要是因為轉角公寓他們看起來像頂樓，因為他們都是開窗的，在照片上看起來很驚豔。

So when I went to look at the apartments in person, I don't know, like departments were smaller.

所以當我親自去看公寓的時候，我不知道，好像部門比較小。

Also, the layout was kind of strange.

另外，這個佈局有點奇怪。

And yeah, there was just a lot of things that I felt that wouldn't work for me.

是的，只是有很多事情，我覺得不適合我。

So I went to a few different buildings around this area, and this was apartment I kept coming back to, mainly because they had a storage room, so that was really unique.

所以我去了這一帶的幾棟不同的樓房，這間公寓我一直回來，主要是因為他們有一個儲藏室，所以這真的很獨特。

And also, the space in this apartment was really great for two people.

還有，這間公寓的空間真的很適合兩個人居住。

So whenever friends would come over, they would have a spare room that they can stay in.

所以每當有朋友來的時候，他們就會有一個空餘的房間可以住。

The location was good.

位置很好。

Size was great.

尺寸很大。

So yeah, that's why in the end we chose his apartment.

所以啊，這就是為什麼最後我們選擇了他的公寓。

I am very, very glad I stayed in this apartment because, okay, first of all because it's in the middle of the city.

我非常非常高興我住在這間公寓裡，因為，好吧，首先是因為它在城市的中心。

I can just literally go downstairs and everything.

我可以從字面上去樓下和一切。

Is that food, shopping, trained, whatever I wanted, just good as this convenience.

就是吃的，逛的，培訓的，不管我想要什麼，只要好這個方便就可以了。

This place was absolutely amazing.

這個地方真是太神奇了。

Love that.

我喜歡這樣

And I would definitely miss that the most about this place.

而我肯定會最懷念這個地方。

There are a lot of complaints I have about this place is, well, the main one being that there's no car park.

我對這個地方有很多抱怨是，嗯，主要是沒有停車場。

So I actually think that the fact that I was paying almost $1000 a week for this apartment and having no car park is kind of ridiculous, because there are a lot of apartments in the city going for around the same price or cheaper that has a car park.

所以，我其實認為，我每週為這間公寓支付近1000美元的費用，卻沒有車位，這有點可笑，因為城市裡有很多公寓的價格都差不多，或者更便宜，但卻有車位。

So that's one downside.

所以這是一個缺點。

But at the same time, I felt like we didn't really need a car for the first year anyway, because we were just exploring the city.

但與此同時，我覺得反正第一年我們也不需要車，因為我們只是在城市裡探索。

But now that I've been in Sydney for almost two years now, I feel like it's time to move on, and I really wanted to get out, get a car, explore other areas, so yeah, that was one of the main reasons why we wanted to move out.

但現在我已經在雪梨呆了快兩年了，我覺得是時候繼續前進了，我真的想出去，買輛車，探索其他地區，所以是的，這是我們想搬出去的主要原因之一。

Um, I mean, I love this location, but at the same time it does get very noisy, as you guys may have heard earlier.

嗯，我的意思是，我喜歡這個位置，但同時，它確實得到非常嘈雜，你們可能已經聽到前面。

There's always like beeping downstairs.

樓下總有像嗶嗶聲一樣的聲音。

You can hear the tram going sometimes on a Saturday night.

週六晚上有時能聽到電車行駛的聲音。

You'll hear people yelling because you know, there's bars and pubs around and you know what?

你會聽到人們的叫喊聲，因為你知道，有酒吧和酒吧周圍，你知道嗎？

Like it's not that bad, but I feel like it would be nice.

好像也不是很差，但我覺得這樣就很好了。

So for me to get a new place in the location, that's, you know, a bit more quiet so I can enjoy, like, a more quiet lifestyle.

所以，對我來說，得到一個新的地方的位置，這是，你知道，更安靜一點，所以我可以享受一樣，更安靜的生活方式。

But yeah, like I said, I just feel like it's time to move on now when I talked about rental prices on my blog channel, if you guys haven't yet follow my blog channel because you guys can see my whole process of moving to my new place.

但是，是的，就像我說的，我只是覺得現在是時候繼續前進了，當我在我的博客頻道里談到租金價格的時候，如果你們還沒有關注我的博客頻道，因為你們可以看到我搬到新家的整個過程。

And also I chat to you guys more on there.

也是我在那裡多和你們哈拉。

So, yeah, follow that channel if you wanna get up to date on what I get up to.

所以，是的，如果你想了解我的最新動態，可以關注這個頻道。

But anyway, I made a video on like, you know, me, looking at apartments and showing rental prices, and people ask me, Why don't you just buy a house with the rent, you're gonna be paying for that apartment, and I just want to quickly brush over there.

但無論如何，我做了一個視頻，就像，你知道的，我，看公寓，展示租房價格，人們問我，你為什麼不直接買房子，用租金，你要為那個公寓付錢，我只想快速刷過那裡。

But pretty much I don't think it's worth it for me right now to buy in Sydney, because I don't know if I'm going to be staying here forever.

但差不多我覺得現在在雪梨買房對我來說不值得，因為我不知道我是否會永遠留在這裡。

I may go back to Perth in a couple of years.

幾年後我可能會回珀斯。

I'm not too sure yet.

我還不太確定。

And also people, I feel like people just don't understand how expensive Sydney actually is.

還有人，我覺得大家就是不瞭解雪梨的價格到底有多貴。

If you want to buy investment property, I would go to other Australian cities, not Sydney, because foreign investors have driven up the price so much that it's so ridiculous.

如果你想買投資房產，我會去澳洲其他城市，而不是雪梨，因為外國投資者把價格抬得太高了，太離譜了。

Eric and I were actually looking at buying a place in Sydney last year and yeah, we were looking around in different suburbs and it's still very, very expensive if you're comparing to other Australian cities.

其實我和Eric去年就想在雪梨買房，是的，我們在不同的郊區看了一圈，如果和澳洲其他城市相比，還是非常非常貴的。

So for me and Eric, if we were to buy a place, I would want at least three bedrooms and I would want a house, not apartment to settle down in.

所以對於我和埃裡克來說，如果我們要買房，我至少要有三間臥室，而且我想買一套房子，而不是公寓來安家。

And everywhere we looked, everything was at least $1.5 million.

而我們所到之處，所有的東西都是至少150萬。

So if you were to buy that, you need at least 20% deposit.

所以如果你要買，至少需要20%的存款。

That's like 260 grand.
