I've moving! After a dramatic apartment hunt, I found the Beijing apartment of my dreams. In this video, I'm taking you along on as I move out of my old apartment and into a new one in Beijing, China. You'll see me pack up all of my stuff, the full on moving process and a tour and unmakeover of my new apartment.
You'd think that moving in Beijing as a foreigner is stressful, but the truth is.....it's not!
If you are curious what moving in China is like/have any questions about how it works, drop a comment below, and I'll try my best to answer them in the next video or in the comments below.

That disappointment was for the better!!! This one is so much nicer. That other landlord was something else; if she pulled that during the negotiations who knows what she would have been like in the future. Plus, your real estate agent was totally worth it; he looked like he walked you through everything. In another person's video they mentioned they are expensive but it seems worth it to me.

Aleese , as we all know , moving is an ORDEAL , but you persevered and truly succeeded , your new apartment is looking good , I'm catching a warm mellow vibe just viewing the place , the only change I would attempt is the couch in the living room , I would prefer a single couch , but other than that , place looks great , so happy for you , put on some Teddy Pendergrass , and start unpacking , hope you have a very " Merry Christmas " , and a fun filled ' Happy New Year " , here's hoping 2022 is a wonderful year for us all , God Bless

In the summer, my mom would wash all of our clothes and we would it outside in (obv with a protector so bugs can't get in) and it'll dry in a few hours. Around late afternoon we would take it inside and fold it. In the winter we would hang it inside where it would take it longer time to dry but it's still convenient bc we just grab it whenever we need it lol
