HOUSE EXCHANGE Jeanie 서울에서 도쿄로

하우스 익스체인지 서울에서 도쿄로!

  보더리스 쉐어하우스입니다. 하우스 익스체인지 프로그램을 이용해서 서울에서 도쿄, 오사카까지 즐기고 온 Jeanie 의 후기를 공개합니다!   현재 한국에서 살고 있으니 다른 아시아 국가를 탐험해보고 싶었습니다.   한국 이외로 제일 가보고 싶었던 나라는 일본이었기 때문에, 보더리스 쉐어하우스에서 제공하는 하우스 익스체인지 프로그램은 너무나도 좋은 기회였습니다. 보더리스 쉐어하우스 도쿄 지점은 지역별로 아주 많았기 때문에, 먼저 공식 홈페이지에서 어떤 지역에 머물면 좋을지 공실 현황등 쉐어하우스 스탭과 이야기 하면서 도쿄 쉐어하우스를 검색했습니다. 스탭과의 연락이 끝나면 모든 일정이 평탄하게 진행되었습니다. 일본에 도착하고 만난 보더리스 쉐어하우스 일본 스탭들은 하우스 가까운 역에서 만나 환영해주고 하우스까지 안전하게 데려다주었습니다. 일본의 어느 보더리스 쉐어하우스에 들어가더라고, 스탭으로 부터 하우스내 룰, 쓰레기 분리수거등 기본적인 하우스 안내를 받을 수 있고, 일본에서의 생활에 대해 궁금한 점을 스탭에게 물어보고 답변을 받을 수 있었습니다. 딱 9일동안 일본에서 체류하기도 했고 대부분의 하우스 메이트들이 일을 하거나 공부때문에 바빠서 매일 함께 놀러 나가지는 않았습니다.   하지만, 제가 만났던 하우스 메이트들은 모두 친절하고 호기심이 많았습니다. 제가 한국에서 했던 경험과 왜 일본에 왔는지를 물어보곤 했습니다. 동시에, 일본 룸메이트가 제가 살고있는 하우스 주변이나 복잡한 일본 전철 환승 꿀팁, 맛집등 많은 정보를 알려주곤했습니다. 짧은 일정이었지만 틈을 내서 오사카도 방문했었답니다. 오사카까지는 신칸센을 타고 이동했고 짧게 다녀왔기 때문에, 도쿄에서 하우스 익스체인지 시작과 끝을 함께 할 수 있어서 좋았답니다. 숙박에 많은 돈을 들이지 않고 일본을 방문 할 수있을뿐만 아니라, 쉐어하우스에 지내는 동안 일본인 뿐 아니라 다른 외국인들과도 대화 할 수있었습니다. 진정으로 국가, 문화 및 사람들에 대해 이해할 수 있는 가장 빠른 방법이라고 생각했습니다. 프로그램을 이용해보고 느낀점은, 다른 입주자들에게도 강하게 추천드리고 싶었습니다. 공부하고 싶거나, 어학 연수를 하거나, 휴가를 떠나 새로운 문화를 탐구하고 배우고 싶을 때, 하우스 익스체인지 프로그램은 현지인과 다른 외국인들을 만날 기회를 갖기에 정말 좋은 방법입니다!   * 입주자 한정 * 하우스 익스체인지를 경험 해보고 싶으신 분 이시라면, 언제든지 연락 주시길 바랍니다! 더욱 자세한 사항은 아래 링크에서 확인 가능합니다! http://www.borderless-house.kr/houseexchange

Borderless House Osaka Tamatsukuri –opening celebration party was held!

Greetings to all! This is Chang, a staff from Borderless House Kansai. On 11th February Saturday, we threw a potluck party with the tenants from 4 different houses,at our brand new <Borderless House Osaka Tamatsukuri>!! Here is a report about it along with the photos taken! Many of the tenants in <Borderless House Osaka Tamatsukuri> are share house beginners, and this was the very first house event held at the house. And so…we let the party begin with self-introduction session! A little bit of strained look in everyone’s face…seems like more ice breaking needed? After the self-introduction was the game session! The tenants teamed up as each house. We prepared 3 different kinds of games, and a big prize for the winner team: “rent discount ticket”!!! The first game: ping pong match on an international standard ping-pong table! Everybody frantically chases the ball for the rent discount ticket! Looks like everybody is enjoying themselves! Ice breaking succeeded?  🙂 The second game: the world wide famous JENGA! Considering its simplicity in rules, we thought each JENGA game will finish in a flash… but no! All our tenants are such good players, each game went on for at least 30 minutes! Look at everyone’s faces! So serious! And this JENGA tower…look how tall it ended up as, impressive! This has to be some professional level! After the 2 ice breaking games…the final game: pop-up pirate game!! All the participants got way more excited, as the winner team of this game wins the prizes! So which house was the lucky team that won the 1st prize eventually?? These two big boys!! The second prize winners were these lovely ladies! The prizes: a set of aroma oil and diffuser machine! (Good thing there are more female tenants in this house!) The third prize winners were these two fashionistas: 30 bars of takoyaki-flavour umaibo snacks!!! (Takoyaki –a dumpling with octopus pieces inside, dipped in a sauce; Osaka’s comfort food!) Not only the game sessions have ended in a great success, but also the tenants that participated have brought us a variety of delicious international dish and desserts! Korean bibim guksu noodles, gyoza, Vietnamese spring rolls, takoyaki, and sushi rolls…all this wonderful collaboration of multicultural food is also the perks of living in an international share house!  Everyone had a good talk and laughter over a table full of international food. This event became a great opportunity for both the tenants from Borderless House in Osaka and Kyoto (more than an hour apart by train!) to get together and mingle! The event ended in a big success, thanks to all of the participants! We hope to see you at the next event 🙂 Now there are a limited number of vacancies at <Borderless House Osaka Tamatsukuri> after only 1 month since the opening!

Are you interested in learning foreign language? ……If so, the share house of BORDERLESS HOUSE will be a good choice for you!!

8 reasons to live in the Borderless House ▼▼▼

1. For Taiwanese, you can live with flatmates from different countries

Since our concept is to provide the opportunity to cultivate international cultural exchange, we try to balance the ratio of locals to foreigners 50:50. So, half of your flatmates will be foreigners, and you can experience the international environment  by simply living in a house without going abroad!

2. For Foreigners, you can live with many locals and adapt to local life more easily

If you come to Taiwan to learn Chinese and would like to explore the culture here, living with locals can help you know the culture deeper and get some tips about daily life you may not have in other places. Also it will be a good chance to put language skills into practice EVERYDAY!

3. The community is like a FAMILY

The people who live in the BORDERLESS HOUSE must have motivation for communicating with others and are eager to experience different cultures. As a result, this is a community which is created by people having the same goal or sharing the similar values. (For example, they want to improve the language or make friends from different countries!) Also we ask tenants to live at least one month so that you will have more chance to interact and hangout with your flatmates! ★See the sharing of one of our foreign tenants: Samuel

4. It’s convenient to go everywhere from the house

Our houses are located in Taipei city and mostly near the Taipei metro station, so it will usually take you less than 10 minutes to walk to house from the station!

How is life in Taipei, Taiwan? -Interview with German tenant

Hello!! This is BORDERLESS HOUSE in Taipei!! We have a tenant from Germany who currently stays at BORDERLESS HOUSE TAIPEI. He has joined language program and usually interacts with his partner and staffs humorously.

We would like to introduce his life in Taipei and his own stories!

Self-introduction

Hello I’m Philipp from Germany, and I’m 24 years old. I studied music before and I play the saxophone. After studying, now I come to Taiwan for learning language and have Chinese course here. Because my girlfriend is from Taiwan, I want to understand her culture more!

Could you share your daily life in shared house?

I sleep a lot (laugh). But from Monday to Friday, I have classes from 8:40-11:30 in TKU. After that, I go to sleep again and do my homework. In fact, this is my second time to come to Taiwan, I traveled to Kenting, Tainan, and Hualien with my girlfriend last August.

Why do you choose BORDERLESS HOUSE in the first beginning? 

Because I want to practice Chinese with other Taiwanese housemates! Is there anything difficult or tough for you to live in Taiwan? The weather, and maybe the mosquitoes. Last year I have problems with mosquitoes’ bite, but I didn’t have serious problems with it this time. There were only two in my room. (And he slapped them!)

What impressed you the most during your stay in Borderless House or in Taiwan?

In the first day I came, my housemates did the karaoke, they love the karaokay! They just played the song on Youtube and sang with it. Dance and sing! As for other experiences, one of the cultural shock was that I found there was no sidewalk when I once went on the street. That’s very strange for Germany. Another was that my girlfriend’s parents took me to the restaurant and made me eat the animals’ organs and frog legs. They told me, “It’s chicken chicken, so just eat it eat it.” (note: Many people who had tried frog said that it tasted like chicken.) I ate very much and I thought that was chicken. But I realized the truth after my girlfriend’s friend told me.

Speaking of Taiwan, what is the most attractive point for you?

The food, very nice and helpful people. I love the dumplings, beef noodles and teppanyaki. Maybe the nature as well.

With your experiences, could you kindly give some advice to those who are going to come to Taiwan?

The good thing is that if you lost something, people here are always friendly and helpful! (Picture in the mountain.) (He joined the language program and practiced Chinese with his Taiwanese partner Michelle.) Thanks Philipp for sharing his experiences!! We had good time chatting with him and hope that he can achieve his goal on learning Chinese 🙂 Check BORDERLESS HOUSE in Taipei>> http://www.borderless-house.com/tw/all/ Check Tenant’s only Program>> Free House Exchange http://www.borderless-house.com/houseexchange/ Language Exchange http://www.borderless-house.com/languageexchange/

FREE HOUSE EXCHANGE Rosanne Seoul Taipei

Hello! This is Borderless House!! Today we would like to share the review of our lovely tenant Rosanne, who joined the House Exchange Program in Taipei from 12/16 to 12/25. She came from the Borlderless House in Seoul, and stayed in ZHONGXIAO DUNHUA 1 for one week to explore Taiwanese culture!   Let’s see what experiences she got during this stay ♥ :;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*   Rosanne van der Leer (She comes from the Netherlands!)   Q1. Why did you apply for the house exchange program? Rosanne: I am currently doing an internship in Seoul and I had some free days, so I decided to apply for the house exchange program to visit Taipei. I want to spend my holidays in Taipei to escape the Korean winter for a week , do some sightseeing and experience different Asian culture. Because I was by myself, I applied for this program since it is nice to meet people who are already living in Taipei and who could give me some tips 😉   Q2. How was your exchange? Rosanne: Very Good! All the housemates were really nice and welcoming. I learned a lot about the Taiwanese culture and tried lots of different food from vendors on the street. I love night market and the people were really nice. The house exchange program itself was really well organized and the staff was very professional.   Q3. What is the most memorable episode? Rosanne: When I arrived I was immediately invited to the Borderless Christmas dinner. This was very last minute but the Borderless House Taipei staff was very kind to let me participate. It was a nice way to get into the Christmas spirit as well as to meet new people from different nationalities, plus I even scored a Christmas present 😉 Furthermore, I found the housemates to be very kind and welcoming, they took me to the night market and let me try stinky tofu! .   Q4. Do you have any comments? Rosanne: It is a fun way to see new places and meet new people, especially when you are by yourself. The staff organized everything very well and I had a blast.   Q5. Do you have any opinions for improving this program? Rosanne: Keep up the good work! Everything was very well organized. The only thing I was struggling with was that when I arrived I didn’t know how to reach the Borderless staff member, since I didn’t know you were using the Line messenger application. If you would have emailed me that in advance, I could have sent a message when arriving at the airport to inform you I was running late.   Here are the great pictures taken by her! ➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤ (National Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall)   (The view of Taipei city from Elephant mountain)   (The scene of streets)   ➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤ Rosanne told us that her favorite food in night market is roasted potatoes rather than stinky tofu , but she did has the courage to try new things! (lol) She also considered Taiwanese people very enthusiastic to talk to foreigners. In fact, we were also touched by her lively sharing 🙂   Free House Exchange program can provide more opportunities for our tenants to meet and stay with local people in the country and have a real cultural experience!! Since our houses are in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, you can stay one of our houses for FREE!!   ✫ If you are interested in our program, please don’t feel hesitate to join the program! http://www.borderless-house.com/houseexchange/houseexchange_form/ ✫ You can check the details of this program on our website blow. http://www.borderless-house.com/houseexchange/

Event report: 【Borderless House Christmas Party 2016】 who was the winner of 1 month rent free ticket!?

Hello, this is Chisa from Borderless House. 
 
On 18th of December, we have hosted 【Borderless House X’MAS Party 2016】!!!
We would like to thank everybody for joining us! 
 
This year the party was held based on the theme: “hirogaru, tsunagaru” (directly translated as “binding together and widening”),
meaning it’s an opportunity for all the guests ad friends to get together, 
regardless of nationality, language and which houses the guests are from. 
 
Here is how the event went: 
 
The party was held at an Italian restaurant in Shibuya -the warm and cozy atmosphere welcomed all our guests!
 
We were the MC -thank you all for your patience! 
 
The party began with a warm up game before the toast; “Hi five self introduction game!”
The guests need to do hi five with 3 people when their eyes meet, and introduce themselves 
(name, nationality, which house he/she is from, hobby and etc.)
After the self introduction is done with 3 people, the guests are handed their first drinks and a BINGO card. 
 
The toast was called as follows: “To the many encouters of tonight! Kanpai (=cheers)!”
 
Looks like the guests have warmed up at the first free talk session, 
and are feeling much more comfortable mingling with the ones that just met!
The guests were to fill in the blanks by writing in each others’ names.
 
Then the next game was the highlight of the event: BINGO! 
Everybody was all pumped up to become winners! 
After the 7 winners were chosen, there was a lottery to decide which winner is going to win which prize”
 
The guy in the middle won the booby prize…(=a throat coat candy, swabs and a sushi key chain)
 
 
He won the second prize…(= tickets to Yokohama Cosmo World for 4 people)
 
I hope he can go with all his housemates!
And last but not least, he was the first prize winner! 
 
Congratulations on winning 1 month free rent ticket!!! 
“I will throw a big house party and everybody here is invited!” was the comment he made on the spot 🙂
Let’s look forward to the party then? Omedeto gozaimasu!
 
The party ended in a great success, thanks to all our fellow tenants and their friends for joining us!
There was also an after party which half of the guests have gone to! Awesome!
 
We are more than happy that the party became a wonderful opportunity for our tenants from different houses to get to know each other,
and most of all, to have a merry Christmas together! 
 
We hope to see you at the next event! 
Thank you once again to all the guests who made it to the party,

FREE HOUSE EXCHANGE Ran Taipei Tokyo

Hi, this is BORDERLESS HOUSE in Taiwan! We want to share that one of our tenants, Ran from BORDERLESS HOUSE TAIPEI have visited Tokyo from November 7 to November 17 for 10 days with House Exchange program. He stayed in BORDERLESS HOUSE Sakurajosui1house. His introduction is below. :;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;:: ☺ Ran’s brief introduction Randall is from America and worked as a food product developer for four years, now he is in Taiwan learning mandarin! He chose to stay in BORDERLESS HOUSE is because he wants to use this opportunity to make some new friends and practice his Mandarin. He also likes to go outside enjoying anything nature!! Let’s see what brought him to attend this program first! Since I needed to renew my visa for Taiwan and this opportunity proves free boarding I figured why not! Coming home to a house full of housemates is also much more fun than returning to an empty hotel/hostel room♥   ✔Let’s check his feedback after he came back from Tokyo!!! :;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:*ﾟ:;;::;;:*:;;::;;:* (Ran is a left one ^^ with Fuji Mountain and his new roommates) Q1. How was your exchange? My trip was great. Last time I was in Japan I was mostly limited to one area. This time I used the money saved on housing to purchase a JR Pass. I started my trip in Sapporo Hokkaido. I stayed there for a couple of nights before taking a sleeper bus to Hakodate. The next morning my JR Pass started and I took the Shinkansen to Tokyo to start my stay in the share house. From Tokyo I was able to travel to Nikko, Kiso Valley, Kofu, Kyoto/Nara, Kaurizawa, Niigata, and Fujigoko mostly to go hiking. Coming from the sweaty jungles of Taiwan, It was really refreshing to be able to breathe the cool air and see all the autumn colors.   Q2.What is the most memorable episode? Going up Mt. Mitutouge/Kinashiyama with my housemates. From the side we started on the hike was supposed to be around 3-4 km to the top with an ascent of 1700m. It was an exhausting few hours to make it to the top. But the view of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding area was worth it. By the time we made it down the other side the sun was setting. Q3. Do you have any comments who consider? My housemates were a fun bunch to talk to and made my trip more enjoyable. I really do wish I was able to stay longer than the week and a half I was there. Let’s see photos he shared below!! ➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤ (Hakodate) (Sapporo) (Tokyo Dome) (Nara with cute deer) ➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤➤ He went to so many places during his trip in Japan! And which also make us feel very happy and very enjoyable when we read his wonderful sharing! He used the money saved on housing to purchase a JR Pass which makes us feel very glad that we could support our tenants’ trip. Free House Exchange program can provide more opportunities for our tenants to meet and stay with local people in the country and have a real cultural experience!! Since our houses are in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, you can stay one of our houses for FREE!! ✫ If you are interested in our program, please don’t feel hesitate to join the program! http://www.borderless-house.com/houseexchange/houseexchange_form/ ✫ You can check the details of this program on our website blow. http://www.borderless-house.com/houseexchange/

A new large-scale international share house, coexisting with the locals, opens March 2017 in Kamigamo, Kyoto!

Kyoto – where tradition is still alive. Our share house in Kamigamo, Kyoto

From Kamigamo Shrine, a World Heritage site, Kamogawa River flowing by, to the Shakemachi area where the share house is located – the whole town of Kamigamo is defined by its many cultural heritages of ancient Kyoto.

Right beside Kamigamo Shrine (Kamo Wake-ikazuchi Shrine), famous for its Aoi Matsuri, one of the three major festivals in Kyoto, an international share house opens from March 2017.

＜Borderless House Kyoto-kamigamo＞
http://www.borderless-house.kr/jp/kamigamo/

3 Good Points about Kyoto-kamigamo Share House

1. A large scale share house with tenants from all kinds of backgrounds. The first 20 people large-scale share house in Kansai!

Its appeal lies especially in the traditionally Japanese outer appearance, fitting perfectly in the cityscape of Kamigamo, as well as the 70 square meter living room perfect for getting together with your housemates.

And if you need to get your mind off things from time to time, just take a good book and some tea to relax on the terrace.

In addition, all rooms on the second floor are loft-type, giving you even more space for yourself!

2. Expand your circle of friends! A share house for both international and regional exchange

Until now, the concept of Borderless House was all about international exchange. Borderless House Kyoto-kamigamo takes this to another level by creating a concept of both  international and regional exchange.

There are all kinds of events organized by the local neighborhood committee, sports festivals, and events collaborating with the local residents or university clubs.

Apart from international exchange, this share house is loved by the local community for its active participation in community revitalization and multi-generational exchange.

In addition, you can enjoy seasonal events such as Aoi Matsuri, one of the three major festivals in Kyoto, or the monthly market held at Kamigamo Shrine.

3. Well-featured living conditions in a beautiful townscape – the perfect location


(Photo by (c)Tomo.Yun / http://www.yunphoto.net)

Kamigamo, Kyoto – you might think it is nothing more than a sightseeing spot, with Kamigamo Shrine as its only attraction. But in reality, it is a safe and convenient area with surprisingly many university students living here.

Daily groceries can be done at a Coop supermarket and a 100 Yen Lawson store nearby, both especially popular among university students.

In addition, bakeries, and Gyoza no Ohsho (the main food provider for Kyoto’s students) as well as many other bars and restaurants are in the neighborhood, so you will not have any inconveniences in daily life.

(Source: http://neomartvs.ldblog.jp/)

And the best part : Kyoto’s leading fashion quarter, Kitayama, is only 5 minutes away from the house by bicycle.

Kitayama is especially frequented by young people, for its many stylish cafes and restaurants and modern townscape, and is always in the top ranks of Kyoto’s most popular quarters to live in.

Gift shops, cafes, restaurants, botanic gardens, art galleries – Kitayama is the perfect place for a fun weekend stroll!


Also, you might know Kawaramachi as one of the busiest quarters in Kyoto.

From the house, you can reach Kawaramachi by bus without having to change lines!
It might take 35-40 minutes to get there, but Kamigamo Shrine Is the terminal station, enabling you to get a seat even during crowded times.

The bus stop “Kamigamo Shrine” is only 3 minutes from the house on foot.
The closest train stations are Kitaoji Station and Kitayama Station. Both can be reached within 5 minutes by bicycle!

☆Great access to several universities and major train stations☆

If you are a student, the access to your university is a big deal.
I actually took my bicycle to see how far it is…

–Otani University: 8 min. by bicycle
It is right beside Kitaoji Station, so you can have a fun bike ride through the shopping street.

–Doshisha University: 13 min. by bicycle
Just 1.5 km further downhill from Otani University!

–Kyoto University: 18 min. by bicycle
Riding alongside scenic Kamogawa River while listening to some music will bring you to Aobashi Bridge in no time! From there, go further until Kamigamo-ohashi Bridge and you will find yourself on Kyoto University’s Yoshida Campus.

–Kyoto Sangyo University: 10 min. by shuttle bus (bus stop: 3 min. from the house)
I’m sorry… I took the bus instead… ;_;
The shuttle bus from Kamigamo Shrine to Kyoto Sangyo University is always crowded with students.

A newly constructed building, a great community and location – all combined in this share house!
Why don’t you become a part of Kyoto-kamigamo share house?
