Hyper international interaction ! Borderless Christmas with more than 120 people was held on the 7th of December !

December is the Christmas season!

All the street is illuminated and we see more and more chicken advertisement on TV and in the city! Don’t you think that the enhancement of the city increases our desire to have a Christmas party? Because it is Christmas!

To satisfy your desire, we held a Christmas Party like every year!

We rent a space in Jinbo-Cho called “EDITORY” and more than 120people came to our party! What kind of party it was?

In this blog, we are going to show the content!

The person who is going to do the Christmas Party tour is me, Pakuchi!

I am working at Borderless House as a student worker and I am in charge of the event!

So, CHECK IT OUT !!

International interaction and Christmas Party represent so much Borderless House !

                 

In Borderless House, we organize twice a year a party with 80 to 100 people who are living in our sharehouse!

Christmas wich I am going to explain to you is one of the big events! Every year, a lot of our sweet tenant is joining the party. However, this year was not the same year as usual.

MORE than 120 people come to our party. What is going to happen to this memorable party? All the staff was surprised at the beginning!

When we start the reception, a HUGE line of people was in front of us.
and the event space becomes full in a second!

The receptionist, the bar, and the cloak were full of person and everybody was an assembly into the room.

We could hear people in many spaces starting to cheers because they could not wait for the beginning of the party. That represents our tenant so well!

They could not wait to start to interact with people and start to enjoy the conversation. Their communication skills are so remarkable!

And the sweet cute person who was charged to do the facilitator is our tenant!

Yes, this year also, our tenant help us for the Christmas Party!

The cute Santa Claus is Ashley, she is living in Itabashikuyakusho-mae House!

She is like a mother of the house and makes the community warm-up!

She is a big fan of Borderless House and she also help up for the event “Borderless Olympics”!

Thank you always, Ashley !!

The facilitation of Ashley, gives a tremendous boost to the atmosphere of the party!

You cannot say that you are shy! A very close linkage program heat the party!

The theme of this year’s Christmas party is “extends beyond the house, the nationality and the connection !

This year, we invite tenants, people who reserve a room of Borderless House, people who are interested in international interaction and people’s friends!

The fact that a lot of people with different backgrounds can come is one of the characteristics of the party.

This is the reason why we always prepare some good programs in order to make the com munition between people easier! So, even you are a little shy, it is completely okay!

You will become quickly socialize with people around you! Let’s enjoy it!

You are my man of destiny ?! Number and color matching!

The first program is called number and color matching!

Everyone gets some wristband with a number and a color. You have to find the person who has the same color and number and form a group.

It is quite simple but fateful. In this huge universe, we all grew up in a different country, and we all gather in Tokyo and find together by coincidence.

Is it not fantastic ?!

Is it destiny ?!

All the groups did an introduction of themselves and the voltage of the room was in high gear! Everybody was so excited to find their fateful! People make some high-touch when they find they’re fateful!

 This meeting is forever!

We don’t need language, what we need is an only passion! Let’s do the gesture game!

The next program is a gesture game!

After we all find our fateful, let start the game! The winner of the game can get some luxury prizes!

Everyone thought that gesture game is easy, but it is not the case!

Even if it is difficult, cooperation leads us to win! Everybody makes their own gesture and express the theme.

The first theme was the one of the difficult ones!

“zoo” Everybody did some gestures about the gorilla, monkey, etc. and people answered the name of animals. However, the word “zoo” is not appearing.

The floor is in chaos.

I know, we are vicious that we make this theme. When almost every team finished answering, only 2 teams didn’t finish to answer.

Even they could say that they have finished even if it is unfinished, they did so much effort to do it properly!

All of our staff were touched by their passion.

We really wanted to give them some gifts!

In the floor mix of passion and chaos, the 2nd theme is … “Disney Land”! This is also a difficult theme! Everyone answered “mouse” or “Mickey”.

At the moment we regret a little bit that we make so much difficult theme, a team who answer 2 right answers appeared!

As is it a team made by only fateful, the heart-to-heart communication is working very well!

They get the luxury price !! We didn’t expect that the gesture game reaches a fever pitch!

Are you interested in the content of the gift?

A set of world craft beer AND Order-made leather products from JOGGO AND AND a huge box of different sweets etc. Some presents from Borderless Santa!

We all envy….

Who are going to get the next prizes ?! The exciting bingo game!

We cannot forget the face Bingo game of Borderless House!
It became an annual event but let me explain the rule!


Borderless bingo is not a normal bingo game.

The face of each people who are coming to the Christmas party is becoming a number!

Thanks to you we can play the bingo game and thank to you someone can get the prize ! It is a very special bingo game.

Let start the bingo!

Everybody is paying attention to the face of people turning around!

This year, we choose as a prize: Amazon card, Borderless T-shirt, as a small present,  land of Moon which gets famous in Terrace House and A5 rank ( higher quality ) Matsuzaka-beef!

And finally, don’t forget … 1-month free fee ticket !!

The happy girl who gets the 1-month free fee ticket is…

 

The tenant of Shinjuku-Nakano 3 !!!

Congratulation!

All the people you cheers are your family! It doesn’t matter which share house you are living in!

The party approach to the end.
People who came with their housemate of a friend were enjoying communication with people they just have met at the party. This is one of the pictures!

The nervous face at the beginning just go away at the end of the party! Everyone was at the party and enjoy their time.

We can conclude as the floor was on over-capacity, it makes the relation between people physically and psychologically more close. 

The atmosphere filled with excitement doesn’t end even after the Borderless Christmas !

Good time end so quickly, we took a souvenir picture at the end!

See the close relationship between people! It looks like a family picture!

We cannot imagine that they are all just met a few hours before.

Even after the Christmas party, people cannot forget the atmosphere of excitement and they all went to an Izakaya ( casual Japanese restaurant).

This is a picture of the people who were gathered naturally after the party.

In this picture, we can]j see, a Japanese, a Korean, an Italian, a Russian, a British, and an American.

It completely represents this year’s theme: “extends beyond the house, the nationality, and the relation!”


By our Borderless party, a lot of emotional ties beyond nationality and language have arisen!

YOU, who wants to learn English or make international friends, YOU who are interested in a share house!

Borderless House is making many events that can maximize the connection between people.

Borderless House is a place that more than 50 countries are gathering. You can experience English but also so many other languages and cultures. It is a place that you can try national-oversea-experience!

Each sharehouse is made of 50%of foreigners and 50% of Japanese so you can surely experience international interaction!

You are always welcome to experience national-oversea-experience!

The next event is in May 2020 ! We are all waiting for your visit!

Merry Christmas and Happy New year everyone!

BORDERLESS Event Review

【International Exchange Program】 Summer is about Somen!? Let’s experience Japanese cuisine that you can feel the season!

Hi! I’m Yuya, in charge of our blog.

The Food Experience Program  “BORDERLESS DINERS ~Experience International Restaurants and Travel around the World~”

It’s been half a year since we started this program! The theme for August was Japanese food to go back to the basics and know about the food culture in the place we live!

Have fun and get full with two of our staff from Shimane and Yamagata, the good old countryside, Takuya and Takky!

Let’s start BORERLESS DINERS!

Happy Half a Year Anniversary for the launch of the program! Satisfying Japanese cuisine that you makes you feel summer!

Japanese cuisine is very deep and has various types of dishes and ways too cook.

One of the best parts of Japanese cuisine is you can feel each of four seasons from it.

There are a lot of dishes which express the beauty of nature or a season and are closely related to the Japanese annual events. 

“So the Japanese menu this time is from the dish with a plenty of summer vegetables to the food for the summer festival.

Let’s enjoy summer in Japan in terms of food!

Flow, Flow and be Flown! Kick-start with Flowing Somem.


There is no summer without Somen!

When we dip the cold noodles cooled by ice in the cold soup and eat it, it feels like we get back the appetite that we lost because of heat.

Flowing Somen (Nagashi Somen in Japanese) is the summer tradition! In Flowing Somen,

Somen is flowing down a bamboo chute with ice-cold water and you catch and eat it!”

Someone just randomly thought “if we throw somen into flowing water, we will feel
summer very much, won’t we?”

As such, Flowing Somen was born in Kyushu and now it is the summer tradition.
So we kick-started with Flowing Somen to feel the absolute Japan.

First, we built the bamboo, then started throwing somen.


The flow was too fast to catch and eat Somen!

But gradually they were getting the tip and able to catch it!

One trouble of Flowing Somen is catching Somen is so much fun and eating it too much.

On the other hand, somen flowing in the bamboo chute looks so elegant and tasteful.


It was supposed to be a kick-start but we were already full.

Tried the traditional food “DASHI” (not the soy sauce dashi) of Yamagata!

The next cuisine is “DASHI”.

It is not about the “Dashi” (Japanese soy sauce beased on fish) but about a traditional food of Yamagata eaten in the summer.

It is a mixture of cucumber, eggplant, and myoga (japanese ginger). It can be use in many way, like put on tofu, on somen etc…

It is also a high nutritional value food so, it is the perfect food when you lose your appetite in summer!

In Yamagata region, DASHI is a soul food which appear in the fridge every summer. And people feel the begining of summer by seing the DASHI.

“DASHI” is highly recommended by our staff Takky !

The french resident who have tried “DASHI” said: ” It is similar to the ratatouille of France!”

Ratatouille is a french cuisine which is a simmered dish of summer vegetables, and it is normally eaten itself but it is also tasteful to put on cheese and meat !
Don’t you think that it is quite interesting that french cuisine and the cuisine of Yamagata region have some similarities ??

Finding similarities between different culture is one of the enjoyable point of this program.

Cucumber and Miso soup is our friend (OR BEST PARTENER) of summer ! Let’s resolve summer weariness!

The second cuisine is Cold miso soup.

It is a typical summer food eaten in different regions like Yamagata, Saitama, and Miyagi.

The recipy is : make some cold miso soup of cucumber and seasoning and put on hot rice. It is easy to make and easy to eat even you have lose appetite because of the high temperature of summer.

In the world, we can find some cold soup like vichyssoise or gazpacho. But in Japan it is not common to eat cold soup, and as we usually eat hot miso soup, for some Japanese, cold miso soup was a culture shock!

“Cold miso soup is delicious so we will made it in our house!” said our residents with their shiny smiles and they all have a refill of it.

Kaki-gori (shaved ice) the typical food of Matsuri (summer festival) was also eaten by Murasaki-shikibu (Japanese novelist) !?


Kagi-gori is the perfect dessert for summer!

Kaki-gori is normally eaten in Natu-matsuri or Ennnichi ( japanese summer festival).

These days, Korean and Taiwanese kaki-gori is famous globally, we all have an image that kaki-gori is a modern food. However, the first time it was eaten was in Heian period (794~1185)!

In the famous book called “Makura-no-soushi”, they is a part that written about the shaved iced with honey. We can understand that kaki-gori is a traditional food with a long story.

It is loved globally even the taste and the form are changing by time.
It is emotional when we think deeply about it!

About the culture of “Washoku” (Japanese food) which is registrated on intangible cultural asset.

Today’s theme “Washoku” is registated in the intangible cultural asset.

The reason is because of it rareness. Indeed, it is globally not common to use diverse type of ingredients and we can also find a strong persistence to the food culture.

The Japanese cuisine change under season and event. We can understand how much Washoku have lived with culture.

Our resident was also very suprised of the fact that Washoku which is very familiar to us was registrated in the intangible cultural asset.

“Itadakimasu” (let’s eat) and “Gochisousama”(Thank you for the meal) are some gretting we can only find in Japan?

The another reason why Japanese food is included in intangible cultural asset is because of it rare greeting.

“Itadakimasu” and “Gochisousama” is a only Japanese gretting which we cannot translate in other language.

This greeting is based on Shinto religion which conciste to believe that god is everywhere. And it become ingrained in our culture to show our respect and gratitude to the ingredients, to the person who cooked the food and to the person who have procured the ingredients.

Thanks to this program, it was an opportunity to find that they are so much thing we don’t know about a culture even if we are living in.

Vietnam this week! The travelling restaurant which we can taste the world every month !


『BORDERLESS DINERS~Taste the world by the travelling restaurant ~』is a experience based program for the residents held every month !

The next country is Vietnam!

Two chefs who are wearing Ao dai ( Traditional Vietnamese costume) are going to cook some festival Vietnam cuisine!

Normally, Pho is a typical cuisine but you can try other food and taste deep Vietnamese culture!

What kind of experience can we do the next travelling ?

Looking forward to the next report !

BORDERLESS DINERS Review

International Share House Sports Day: 50 Adults Embrace Fun and Competition

Everyone!!! This may be sudden, but what do you think of when you hear the word “Fall?”

The season of eating! It’s the time when you crave sanma (a type of fish) and sweet potatoes.

The season of culture!

The season of agriculture! Remember the Agriculture Experience Trip? That was fun…

Wait, aren’t we forgetting something?

A season of sports!!!

Today, I’d like to share the highlights of the Borderless Olympics, an event where we had a blast! Reporting live, it’s me, Yuya, your blog manager! By the way, I’m terrible at sports.

2020 is Coming! But Before That, We Held a Borderless Olympics.

Next year is Tokyo Olympics, what we’ve all been waiting for!

There are so many news on TV, like the plagiarism of logos,  the stadium taking longer for construction, the mascot character not being so cute,  and marathon being held in Sapporo.

Hearing the word, Olympics everyday makes us so excited!

What if I am in the Olympics? We want to do the Olympics.

If people of more than 50 nationalities live in Broderless Hoouse, can’t we hold the Olympics? So!!

「SA ・KI・BA・SHI・RI」 (getting ahead)

We held a Borderless version of the Olympics!!

50 participants, and nice blue sky! The weather was perfect for a Sports Day.

Management and Planning all Done by Tenants!? An At- Home Event Created from the View of Tenants!

For this time’s Boderless version of Olympics, abbreviated Borderlympic, the management and planning was all done by more than 10 tenants.

Programs were created based on the theme, “ Adults be foolish and interact with people beyond your house mates.

Unlike events organized by staffs, programs created by the Tenants reflect their desires on what kind of interactions they are looking for.

Because we are not just a corporation for managing share houses, and our relationships are close with the tenants, we had an amazing day in an at- home atmosphere.

We were too excited that Tenant staffs were wearing the most athletic clothes, which I will mention later…

8 Programs at the Sports Day! Sports Day Only Exists in Japan?

When planning for the event, few foreign Tenants mentioned, “What is a Sports Day??”

In fact, only schools in Japan hold Sports Day as a school event.

For Japanese Tenants and staffs who has been experiencing Sports Day since Kindergarten through high school, it was a big surprise.

We want tenants who came from abroad to enjoy a traditional Sports Day!!
But, we also want Japanese people to feel something new with the nostalgic and make it an unforgettable day.

We were like we want to do this, we want to do that, and once we noticed, we ended up with 8 games!?

It was non stop, so the participants were out of breath…

But, everyone one was happy until the end:)

Next, what were the programs that made everyone sweat and smile?

First, the Radio Excercise. Wait! It’s Not a Time for Free Acting!?

In order to do the programs without getting injuries, we need to began with a warm up exercise!

And we can’t miss out “radio exercise!” It’s a traditional warm up exercise in Japan.
When we were in elementary school, we did the radio exercise during summer break so much… but most of us only have a vague memory??
Because even the staffs in the front were making mistakes, once we knew it, everyone was just moving however they wanted.

No no, this is not a program to act freely?!!

A MC’s voice spreads around the ground,

“Believe in Yourself!!!!”

Wait, what are we going to do when the MC is not leading?!

It does look fun…! But can everyone participate in the programs…!?

(By the way, this picture shows a Tenant jumping during the radio exercise. Nice jump!)

Ball Tossing Game and Tug a War! 38 year old gets serious.

When the warming up is over, we get into the traditional games.

Ball Tossing Game, Tug a War, Relay, all sorts of games!

Tenants who have never expereinced a Ball Tossing Game were like, “What? All we do is just throw??”

But do not blame the Tossing Ball Game.

It’s so fun although it’s just throwing. You feel the desire to throw the ball into that net.

The participants became really serious.

When you look closer, there is an adult standing out…

What, is that the President of Borderless House…?

Yes, our President participated! 38 years old, fought serious with the Tenants.

Although he was the oldest participant, he shot many goals with a great posture!
He influenced many other Tenants to get more serious.

The battle ends…!

The President’s team won with 108 balls! He put his fist in the air!
Wait, let’s let the Tenants win…

Looking for You and Goal in. Connecting, Scavenger Hunt.

The next program is the Avenger Hunt! It’s a simple game where you try to find a participant who meets the topic!

Since we are an international share house, we have obstacles that are abnormal.
For example, “a person who can speak three languages,” or “a person who has traveled to more than 10 countries!”

When you find out one thing about that person, you want to know more!

And you’re able to goal thanks to that person!! Isn’t this a great way to make connections? 

People forgot they goaled in, becuase they wanted to talk more!

Face Covered with Flour? The Main Game, Obstacle Race!

The main game is the Obstacle Race! The obstacles included, grabbing a bread with your mouth, running with a pin pon on a spoon, and finding a candy inside a pan with flour.

The last one is popular in variety shows, but we included it in our obstacle course this time!

When you dive your face into the pan, your face gets covered with flour!

We were first worried if everyone will be afraid to put their faces in the pan…??

But our worry was unnecessary!!

This program is a team competition! I will connect the baton no matter what! This strong feeling gets people into the white powder.

Their faces looked like a white mask! The people receiving the mask seemed afraid too!

A Friendship Beyond Share House. The more you sweat, the closer your relatioships can get.

Now, all the programs are over, and it is the awarding ceremony.

Since house mates were separated into different teams, everyone seemed nervous.

However, the cheering became louder, and they were hugging at the last ceremony.

The Tenant staffs were very happy to see that..

“The Tenats in Borderless House are such great people!! Organizing the event was really hard, but they enjoyed it, and I got to meet many new people. It was really great…”

This comment is a Tenant Staff, Mr. Y, who was wearing the best Halloween costume and won the individual relay.

Us, Borderless Staffs are grateful to hear see him this way, Thank You…!

The best part about sports is that at the end, participants, staffs, everyone is happy.

Borderlympic was a blast!!

Next is Christmas party! Who Will Get the Free Rent Fee from Santa Clause!?

Lastly, taking a memory picture with friends who competed together!

This event was a first attempt for Borderless House! It is the closing for Borderless Olympics.

Next event is December 7th!

We will be holding a Borderless House annual event, Christmas Party this year too!

A lot of gifts this year too!

We’ll give away gorgeous prizes like a wonderful date ticket and free rent.

Borderless House is continuing to plan events where we can make “connections.”

In Borderless House where tenants from more than 50 countries gather, not only you can learn English but also experience various languages and cultures, like a study abroad in Japan.

Every share house is adjusted to have a 50: 50 proportion for Japanese people and foreign people, so you can definitely experience a balanced international exchange!

Would you like to experience studying abroad in Japan in an international share house? Next event is Christmas Party! We are looking forward for your participation!

Now everyone, Adiós!!

【Borderless House Kyoto Kinugasa】I did not want to leave this amazing international exchange share house after staying for weeks on my business trip

Hello! I’m Yuya in charge of the blog!

I usually work at Borderless House in Tokyo, but I just went to Kansai on a long business trip recently.

I have stayed at Borderless House for the first time because it was a long business trip to Kansai.

This time, I would like to share a story about the share house life being so much fun that I didn’t want to go back to Tokyo at all.

The place where I stayed was Borderless House Kyoto Kinugasa, which opened in August.

Borderless House Kyoto Kinugasa is a 7-minute walk from Kamaguchi and a 10-minute walk to Kinkakuji Temple!!! This house is in such a great location!

This is a newly built house that just opened in August, and it’s beautiful!

The living room and dining room are separated on the first and the second floors, so there are a lot of free spaces that you could use whenever you want.

This house is up to 26 residents!

Even it was just opened when I moved in, I was able to be surrounded by around 10 housemates from all over the world, such as United States, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, and Japan in this international exchange share house.

You can also secure personal time in your cozy private space!

Here is my favorite space ranking announcement!

One of my favorite spaces in this house is the personal room!
The reason is that the private room in this house is the biggest among Borderless House!!!

And the size of the bed is semi-double!

Anyway, it is very important to me.

But don’t be underestimated, the shared room is also the best. Since there is a door between bed and bed, you can still have your private space even staying in a shared room.

I can’t forget the excitement of the first time I showed the shared room to my housemate, we both agreed it felt like Doraemon`s secret space.

After hanging out with housemates in the living room and dining room, I was able to enjoy my private time by reading or working in the room.

The loft space gradually became my healing space during my business trip. It was too comfortable and cozy.

Feeling warm at the kitchen and dining room

My 2nd favorite spaces at the house are kitchen & dining!

The interior designer hoped to give our tenants warm feelings.

A long dining table is designed for 14 people usually but it can fit 20 people at the maximum. You can feel the warmness from the person who sits next to you!

During my stay, whenever I came home, there was always some of housemate having dinner or studying at this table.

Even when not having meals, tenants still sit around the table talking with others.
It makes me not feel lonely at all, but feel excited and I always wondered “Who’s in the dining room at this time?”

I was looking forward to going back from work every day as well!

Are there more attractive points of Kinugasa House!?

My NO.1 favorite space is the living room!

Most share houses have a living room with kitchen and dining room together
But at Kinugasa House, kitchen/dining room and living room are separated on the first floor and second floor.

We were usually watching TV and relaxing with music in this living room! Some tenants like to work or do their homework here too.

During weekends, we also had movie nights and parties here!

 

Are there more attractive points of Kinugasa House!?

There are two more points I would like to recommend.

First one is the bath!

There are many share houses that have only basic shower rooms, however, there is a spacious bath at this house where you can stretch your legs!

Bath lovers must see! !

And you can use it whenever you want without worrying about water and gas fees.
It was an awesome information for me since I live alone.

Second, there is a stylish gallery and guest house in the neighborhood!

The interior is modern Japanese style and they sell there wonderful ceramic work.

It was fun to stop by and talk with the guests while enjoying the exhibition.

Even as a staff, I did not know living in an international share house is just so much fun!

As a staff member, I am a friend with many of our tenants, and I’m invited to a house party often.

I feel that Borderless House is a fun place to live,

however, after living here, my point of view has changed.

It was not just fun, but correctly, it is INCREDIBLY FUN.

Share house seems interesting from the Japanese TV series「TERRACE HOUSE」

Speaking of share house life, you must have to watch the TV show called「TERRACE HOUSE」

We were totally hooked and everyone gathers in the living room together on Tuesday nights for it while having dinner.

During my stay, there were many girls, so we have discussed about each country`s philosophy of love, “It’s impossible to be like this” or “It’s vey similar to my country.” “I felt very excited when everyone was very into it.” etc.

The show was more exciting compared to Borderless House though.

“Well, it’s fun for making lots of friends than focused on a love life, isn’t it?”

Be the master of Takoyakiー!

Takoyaki party is very classic as a home party here. Of course, we did it during my stay.

For some reason,we did it every three days in one of the weeks!
Don’t underestimate it and think it was just a takoyaki party! We actually made it very international and interesting.

For instance, my housemates put kimchi from Korea and tried various ingredients.

It was in a mess at the first time we tried, and it was also frustrating that everyone became very quiet while making it.

However, it was so tasty after we were getting good at making it and we even accidentally made too much!

But I can say they were more delicious than the ones I bought from the store!

There is tangible cultural property near the house?! Cheers with milk at a public bath

All the house events of Kinugasa House were fun, but the best one was we went to public bath together

There are 2 tangible cultural properties near the house which are KING OF public bath and Funaoka Onsen.

Unfortunately, I didn’t go to Kinkakuji-yu during my stay, but I can’t forget Funaoka onsen, which I went to after the takoyaki party with everyone in the house.

“In Korea, there is a place called Chimjiruban, which is like a public bath” and “There seems to be a public bath where men and women can enter together in Germany.”

“While having a “”hadaka no tsukiai”” in the bath, we talked about many deep stories.

*hadaka no tsukia*

After the bath, we toasted with bottled milks.

Even if it was not a special event, milk made it the best ending of the day.

I miss the share house life so much afterwards

It was only about one month that I stayed at Kinugasa House for the business trip,
even it was very short, I was able to have a lot of good memories with my housemates.

Before I left, they held a farewell party for me. It was so hard for me to say goodbye to everyone, and we were chatting until 4 o’clock in the morning the day I left.

Not only events and parties, but we often went groceries shopping together.
To cook and have dinner together and to be greeted with “Okaeri” when I came home every night were the things I miss the most.”

My heart is still in Kyoto after I am back to Tokyo.

I strongly recommend Kinugasa House! since even for me, I want to live there for a long time.

Minimum contract term at Borderless House is one month, so you can stay here for your business trip as well!

I hope you like my sharing about Kinugasa House!

PS. Potluck party and chances to visit the house for non-tenant guests!?

Borderless House Kinugasa is open for visitors every Saturday, so anyone can visit it freely!

Moreover, there is a potluck party once a month!

We invite local people who live in the neighborhood to join the party too.

If you are interested, please drop in! (I really wanted to go to the Potluck Party!) )

그리고 저는 어떠한 수수료도 낼 필요가 없었고이 조건 또한 매력적이게 다가 왔어요! 금전적 여유가없는 학생들에게 좋은 컨셉 같았어요. (웃음)

 

(↓ 몇 시간 만에 쉽게 하우스 메이트들과 가까워 질 수 있었어요!)

왜 한국 이었죠?

제가 한국으로 하 익을 신청 한 이유는 저는 후쿠오카 출신이라 한국 이랑 꽤 가까운 곳에서 지내고있어서 였어요. 그리고 대부분 저의 친구들은 이미 한국을 방문해 본 경험이 있었죠 .

또한 시간이 충분히있는 동안되도록 빨리 한국에 방문해보고 싶다고 생각하고 있었고 매운 음식도 좋아해서 먹어보고 싶은 마음도있었습니다!

(↓ Korean food Motomu tried while he was in Korea,)

하우스 메이트 분들과 어떻게 시간을 보내곤 했나요?

저는 모든 하메들과 시간을 보낼 수 있었어요!

제가 도착했던 날, 하메들 중 한명 인 Alice가 저를 위해 요리를 해주 었어요. 그녀는 모두에게 정말 따뜻하고 친절한 사람 이었어요. 엄마 처럼요. 전 그녀의 따뜻한 환영에 정말 행복 했어요.

만약 제가 거실에 가면, 누군가를 만날 수 있었어요. 그래서 제 생각에 항상 하메들과 술을 마셨던 것 같아요 . (웃음)

하우스 내에는 일본인 입주자 분들이 있었고 그 친구들이 유명 관광지를 가이드 해줬어요. 저희는 몇 몇 역사적인 장소도 방문했고, 한국 음식도 함께 즐겼어요.

정말 .. 많이 먹었고 술도 많이 마셨지 만 최고로 즐거웠어요!

 

(↓ The places he visited)

가장 기억에 남는 경험이 있나요?

하우스 메이트와 하메의 친구와 친구의 친구와 함께 술을 마셨을 때 인 것 같아요. (웃음) 대부분이 서로 처음 본 사이 였어요.

처음에는, 그 자리에서 저만 처음이고 아는 사람이 없다고 생각 했어요. 그런데 알고 보니까 대부분 사람들이 처음 만나는 자리 더라구요. 누구는 교토의 보더리스 하우스에서 지내다가 한국으로 여행 오신 분도 계셨어요. 

약속되지 않은 만남이었고 모르는 멤버들 이었지만 보더리스 하우스로 연결되었고 저희는 빠르게 친해질 수 있었어요. 그리고이게 제가 이곳에서 지내는 동안 가장 기억에 남는 순간이에요!

 

(↓ 한국 음식을 같이 먹었을 때)

스스로가 느끼기에 새로운 모습을 발견 한 점이 있다면?

제가 한국에서 지낸 쉐어 하우스는 도쿄에서 지내던 곳보다 훨씬 큰 곳 이었어요. 더 많은 하메들이 있었고 하우스 내 분위기도 달랐죠.

이건 아마 입주자가 많아였던 것 같아요.하지만 모두 가족 같았고 다시 만나고 싶어요.

코 엔지 2 하우스 는 제가 일본에서 지냈던 하우스에요. 하우스 내에는 정말 팬시 한 장비들 과 음악 스튜디오가 있죠 .하지만 몇 입주자 분들은 자신의 목적 만으로 스튜디오를 이용하곤 했어요 . 저는 커뮤니티를 좀 더 활성화시키기 위해 함께 그 장소를 함께 이용하고 싶어요. 조금씩 그들의 마음을 바꾸는 게 중요 할 것 같단 생각이 들었어요 !

저는 코 엔지 2 하우스의 하메들에게 하우스 내의 환경을 서울 쉐어 하우스 에서처럼 바꾸자고 말하고 싶어요!

 

(↓ 밤에 한강에서)

더 말하고 싶은 게 있나요?

저는 보더리스 하우스가 미국과 호주에도 있었으면 좋겠어요! (하하)

(스태프 : 맞아요! 실현시키기 위해 최선을 다하겠습니다 !!!!) 

 

(↓ 하우스 주변 모습. 모든 입주자가 이웃 강아지를 귀여워하고있다.)


편집자 노트

일본에서 그는, 일본의 하우스에서 지내며 다른 나라에서 온 새로운 입주자를 현지인으로써 반갑게 맞아 주었다.하지만 서울에서는, 그가 다른 나라에서 온 입주자가되어 환영을 받았다.

이건 그에게있어 새로운 경험이었을 것이다. 

당신의 하우스 메이트는 당신이 방문 해보지 않았던 나라 혹은 지금 거주하고 있지 않은 나라에서 기다리고 있을지도 모른다 .
보더리스 하우스는 세계를 연결할 수 있는 그런 공동체이다 .

보더리스 하우스에서 집 같은, 가족 같은 여행 경험을 해보는 건 어떨까요.
혼자 여행하는 것과는 완전히 다를 수 밖에 없을 거에요 .

【Tenant’s interview】How to Enjoy the Shopping Street Surrounding the Share House~

Borderless House owns 67 share houses around Tokyo, and each house is attractive in its own way!

But, you probably can’t imagine how it feels like, living in a share house…
So this time, it’s a new series of Tenants introducing their community and surrounding area of the house!

Series number 1 of feeling as if you moved in the house! There will be two parts this time!

Introducing Borderless House Itabashi-Kuyakushomae, a medium sized share house with maximum of 16 people!

Area around the house is very convenient! Traditional shopping street and active share house

The area around the house is very convenient.

It’s only 2 minutes walk from the nearest station!

And, there is a traditional shopping street right in front of it.

When you get to the station, the delicious smell from the shopping street gets you hungry.

Its an exciting way back home thinking, “What will be my dinner today?”


Many many “Yayoya!” Share seasonal, delicious vedgetables!


Many traditional shops are in the shopping street.

Among them, there are many ”Yaoya!”

Surprisingly, there are 5 in the shopping street!! All of them sell really cheap seasonal vegetables.

Vegetables that may be expensive in supermarkets are affordable in “Yaoya.”


“Shopping is always fun when we all go together, since owners are surprised to see foreigners and they remember our faces. And so, we get extra goods! I’ve tried many new things since being independent from my parents, and cooking is something I’ve learned to love!”

Walk and eat around when you’re a little hungry. Delicious eating place in the shopping street.

The most recommendation is walking and eating around the shopping street with housemates!

Many shops also have take outs, so they are recommended for potluck parties.

Today, Mr. S will introduce 4 delicious shops around the house!

The secret sauce is super tasty! Yakitori shop, Torishin

The Yakitori shop that is 40 seconds walk across the house has excellent Yakitori with their own original sauce! For eating around, they cook right in front of you.

You can also bring it home, and Mr.S says, his housemates often bring them home!

Hot and soft! Introduced in TV shows, a Takoyaki shop, Iwacchi

The Takoyaki shop that is a short walk away from the shopping street is also a hidden, but famous shop.

We also make Takoyaki at home, but sometimes we feel like eating bought ones! A smell and taste that can not be made at home!

Why not have a sandwich party sometime? Stuffed with ingredients, SunSun Kure-ru

This sandwich shop has been featured on TV. Ingredients are stuffed, and you can order Horus d’oeuvre, so it can be brought to picnics or Cherry blossom viewing!

The rich ice cream is addicting once you eat it! OTONARI

A cafe& co working space, 2 minutes walk from the house!

The rich ice cream is of course recommended, but there’s also a lunch menu that changes daily. Also, there’s a co working space that is perfect for when you want to work outside of house.

Come to Borderless House Itabashi-Kuyakusho Mae!

Appeals of Itabshi-Kuyakushomae House are!

Meeting a lot of people in a 16 people living house!

Interactions emerge from walking past the living room!”

Good location surrounded with a wonderful shopping street!

These three points! There are many other recommendation points, but can’t write it all!

Find out more by acutally living there!

That’s it for report on feeling as if you moved in the Itabashi-Kuyakushomae House featuring Mr. S!

【Tenant’s interview】What’s Appealing about the Itabashi-Kuyakushomae House!

Borderless House owns 67 share houses around Tokyo, and each house is attractive in its own way!
But, you probably can’t imagine how it feels like, living in a share house…
So this time, it’s a new series of Tenants introducing their community and surrounding area of the house!

Series number 1 of feeling as if you moved in the house! There will be two parts this time!

Introducing Borderless House Itabashi-Kuyakushomae, a medium sized share house with maximum of 16 people!

Interviewing Tenant Mr. S! Getting to Know What’s Appealing about the Itabashi-Kuyakushomae House!


This time, Tenant Mr. S will introduce Itabashi-Kuyakushomae for us!
He is an wholesome guy who was encouraged by his parents to live in an international share house to gain various experiences. He decided to live in a share house at the timing of entering university to be independent from his parents.
I asked him, how is it like living in Itabashi-Kuyakushomae House?
Awesome is the word for it, he says with a wide smile.

Lets find out what makes this Itabashi-Kuyakushomae House, so “awesome.

A living room right after you open the entrance! Dividing a place for privacy and interactions like this!


When you open the entrance door and take off your shoes, you’ll see the living room and dining room right in front of you.

The living room is a central part of your living, since everyone walk past it when they leave the house and come back.

“I love being in the living room. I can meet everyone, and conversations emerge naturally, like ‘I’m back , Welcome back and Good morning, Have a good day’ “

There are 16 people living, so when you get back home, you see the living room’s lights, hear laughter, and be welcomed by someone.


Tirdeness from your job or school flies away!

“When I want to see someone, I go to the living room. When I want to focus, I can go in my room. I am able to enjoy living in a share house this way.”

A small living room creates close relationships within the tenants!?


Actually, the living room is a little small for a 16 people, medium-sized house.

When all house mates gather to party, the room gets packed like in this picture.

And when friends or tenants from other houses are invited, the room becomes a packed train!

“It is true that when many people gathers, it gets tight, but this tightness makes us in closer relationships and have a lively communication. ”

Close relationships are built because of the tightness of the space. This is a scene of a party unique to the Itabashi-Kuyakushomae House. 

A home party for every move in and move out, brightly say hello and goodbye!

In a share house with many people, there has to be parties! Even when few people are just eating together, it becomes like a party.

The good thing about living in Itabashikuyakoshomae House with 16 people is that there are many chances for people to gather from small to large parties.

In the living room wall, there’s a black board with everyone’s birthday written on it. When it’s somebody’s birthday, someone makes a call on the chat and celebrate.

Many welcome party and farewell party are held as well. House mates moving in and out is common with 16 people in the house including short term stayers.

“My perspectives expanded by meeting people from different countries and jobs. They taught me many things that I would not have been able to learn from an ordinary college life. That is why I want to cherish the start and end!”

A house with many people means, getting to meet as much people. And that’s how much value you can expose to!


Personal time is of course important too! Here’s how you manage!

If there are many parties and opportunities to gather, you may think you don’t have your own personal time.

But, that’s actually not the case. Personal rooms in Itabashi-Kuyakushomae House are on the second floor, so private space is secured.

“When I want to to study or relax alone, I go back to my room. There’s a door between the living room and the stairs to go up, and the sound is blocked, so I don’t feel left out from the gathering. Because we can join the community whenever we want or whenever we have time, so there’s no need to be pressured. I like the living room so I’m always there though. Haha”

He’s in the living room so often that he kind of knows everyone’s time to go work and come back!

It’s wonderful how you can have fun interacting, while valuing each other’s lifestyles!

Do you feel like you want to live in the Itabashi-Kuyakushomae House?

There are many appealing things in the area around the house as well! Next time, it’ll be a section on the shopping street! Look foward to it!!

【워킹홀리데이 궁금증해결?!】 3개국 보더리스하우스에서 배운 것

안녕하세요, 보더리스 하우스입니다! 

이제 완연한 가을 인데요, 다들 가을의 정취를 잘 느끼고 계신가요? 

이번 포스팅에서는 서울 쉐어하우스 보더리스 하우스의 한국인 입주자이신 원석 씨와 인터뷰를 진행하게 되었습니다.

원석 씨는 무려 일본, 한국, 대만에 있는 보더리스 하우스를 모두 경험해보신 분이세요 ㅎㅎ

이러한 경험이 원석 씨로 하여금 워킹 홀리데이를 준비하는데 많은 도움이 되었다고 하시네요!

그럼 이제부터 원석 씨의 이야기를 들어 볼까요?

대만에 살기 (하우스 익스체인지 프로그램)

 

Staff : 오늘 인터뷰에 응 해주셔서 감사합니다 원석씨!

 

Wonseok : 별말씀을요 🙂

 

Staff : 원석 씨, 보더리스 하우스 다른 나라의 3개 지점에서 모두 지내보셨다니 대단해요!
굉장히 특별했던 경험이 되셨을 것 같은데, 자세한 이야기 들어볼 수 있을까요?

 

Wonseok : 네, 제가 일본에 있는 대학교에 진학하게 되면서 1년간 교토 보더리스 하우스에서 지내게 되었습니다.

그러던 와중 군 입대를 위해 한국에 돌아와야 했죠. 하지만 입대까지 약 5 개월 정도가 남아 있었기 때문에,

그 기간 동안 서울의 보더리스 하우스에서 지내 보는 게 어떨까 생각했고 실행에 옮겼죠.

그리고 한국에서 지내는 동안 대만에 여행 갈 기회가 있었는데, 그때 하우스 익스체인지 프로그램을 이용해 보더리스 대만 지점에서도 한 주 정도 머물 수 있었습니다.

 

Staff : 와, 그럼 대만은 *하우스 익스체인지 프로그램을 통해 가신 거였군요!

* 하우스 익스체인지 프로그램 이란, 보더리스 입주자라면 활용할 수 있는 특별한 프로그램으로, 한국에서의 입주 기간 동안 일본 혹은 대만에서의 현지 보더리스 하우스를 무료로 이용할 수 있도록 마련된 프로그램입니다 (최소 5 일에서부터 최대 한 달까지 이용 가능)

 

(↓ 원석 씨 께서 교토 보더리스 하우스에 거주 하셨을 때의 사진)

일본에서 외국인으로 ‘안전하게’ 살기

– 보더리스 하우스를 선택한 이유?

 

Staff : 일본에 계실 때 쉐어 하우스에서 살아야겠다고 생각하게 된 계기가 있나요.

 

Wonseok : 저는 사실 쉐어 하우스의 장점이나 컨셉에 대한 이해가 있는 편이었어요! 그래서 인터넷을 통해 다양한 쉐어 하우스들을 검색해봤는데, 현지인과 외국인의 비율을 5 : 5로 유지한다는 컨셉을 가진 곳은 보더리스 하우스 뿐이더라구요!

그래서 보더리스 하우스를 처음 발견했을 때, 이곳이라면 외국인인 저 역시도 입주자들과 즐겁게 어울리면서 지낼 수 있겠다는 느낌이 들어서 선택하게 되었습니다! 

 

Staff : 아하, 초기 비용과 관련한 장점 외에도 보더리스 하우스의 컨셉을 이해하고 입주해주셨었군요!

 

(↓ 보더리스 하우스 교토 하나 조노 (Hanazono) 지점 가족들과 함께! 

각각의 하우스가 가진 매력

– 일본, 한국, 대만 하우스 살기를 비교한다면?

 

Wonseok : 아, 저는 사실 모든 하우스가 다 좋았어요 하하!

 

Staff : (웃음) 그러셨군요! 일본에 머무르실 때 외국분들과 일본인분들의 비율이 반반이었다구요?

 

Wonseok : 네, 특히 놀라 웠던 점은 하우스에 거주하시는 외국인 분들도 어느정도 일본어를하실 수 있었다는 것이 었어요! 그래서 저도 일본어를 더욱 많이 사용할 수있는 기회가되었다고 생각해요. 

 

Staff : 한국에서 지내는 것은 어떠셨어요?

 

Wonseok : 한국에서 지낼 때는 입주자 분들 대부분이 영어를 사용하셨던 것 같아요. 또 저는 한국인이기 때문에 벨기에서 오신 룸메이트 분과 같은 방을 배정받게 되었구요. 

돌이켜보면, 일본어 외에도 영어를 사용할 수있는 기회가 주어져서 참 좋았던 것 같아요! 

 

Staff : 대만에서는 어떠셨나요?

 

Wonseok : 대만에서는 대만어와 영어 모두 주 언어였던 것 같아요. 그곳에 일본인 입주자분이 계셔서 제가 도움을 많이 받았죠! 

 

Staff : 네, 그게 바로 보더리스하우스의 장점이죠! 
원석씨가 느낀 나라별 보더리스 하우스의 분위기를 말씀해주신다면?

 

Wonseok : 음 일단 교토 하우스에서는요, 거의 매일 파티가 열렸던 것 같아요 하하.

한국에서는 제가 아르바이트를 해서 좀 바쁘긴 했지만, 여전히 하우스메이트분들과 가끔 술도 마시고 함께 시간을 보내곤 했어요. 

대만은 앞의 두 하우스들보다는 좀 더 차분한 분위기 였던 것 같아요. 술 없이도 편안한 대화가 오가는 그런… 분위기요! 

 

(충정로1하우스에서 한 컷!↓)

어느새 대화는 워킹홀리데이에 대한 질의응답으로 이어졌습니다. 숙박비 없이 대만을 여행한 이야기도 들어볼까요? 

-대만으로의 하우스 익스체인지

 

Staff : 그런데 일본어 정말 잘하시는 것 같아요! 혹시 요즘 중국어도 공부하시는건가요? 

 

Wonseok : 네! 대만 보더리스하우스에서 지냈던 기억이 너무 좋았어서 중국어도 배우기 시작했어요. 

 

Staff : 대만으로의 여행을 결심한 이유가 있으신가요? 

 

Wonseok : 네, 하우스 익스체인지 프로그램을 활용하면 숙박비에 들어가는 금액이 없기도하고, 숙소에 도착하자마자 현지인 친구들을 사귈 수 있다는 점이 큰 매력으로 다가와서 대만을 선택했죠! 

그리고 대만으로 워킹홀리데이를 가는 것을 고민하고 있는 와중이기도 했거든요! 
그럴니까 저한테는 대만을 미리 경험할 수 있는 좋은 기회가 된 것이죠! 

 

Staff : 와 정말 멋지네요! 

 

Wonseok: 네, 그리고 대만 보더리스하우스에는 적어도 몇 달 이상을 머물고 있는 입주자분들도 많으셔서 대만에서 일하는 것이나 현지 문화에 대한 현실적인 정보들과 조언들을 조언을 얻을 수도 있었어요! 한국에서는 얻기 어려운 정보들이요. 이를 바탕으로 대만 워킹홀리데이에 대한 결심을 굳혀나갈 수 있었어요. 

 

Staff: 와, 정말 멋지네요! 

 

Wonseok: 그리고 보더리스 하우스 스탭 분 중 한국어를 하실 수 있으신 분이 계셔서 대만 하우스에 지낼 때 도움을 많이 받기도 했구요. 정말 감사했어요!

 

(↓한국어 하시는 스탭인 코니와 함께 대만 하우스에서!)

혼자 있고 싶을 때 쉐어하우스를 활용하는 방법,

ー 각국에서 쉐어하우스 경험을 해본 총평을 해주신다면? 

 

Wonseok : 전체적으로, 정말 즐거운 경험이었다고 생각하구요! 기회가 된다면 보더리스하우스에 또 머물고 싶어질 것 같아요.

 

Staff : 때때로 쉐어하우스에 지내는 것에 대해 우려를 표하는 분들도 계신데, 원석 씨는 힘들었던 적 없으셨나요?

 

Wonseok : 네, 그런 우려도 이해하긴 해요. 쉐어하우스에 산다는 것은 늘 누군가와 함께한다는 것을 의미하니까요. 물론 그것이 쉐어하우스의 장점이긴하지만 때로는 혼자 있고 싶을 때도 있을 수 있으니까요. 

 

Staff : 맞아요, 그런 기분이 들 때면 어떻게 하셨나요?

 

Wonseok : 우선 일본에서는 개인실을 이용했었기 때문에 충분히 혼자만의 시간을 가질 수 있었어요. 한국에서는, 고향에 내려가거나 단골 카페에 가서 재충전의 시간을 가졌죠. 

함께하는 시간과 홀로 있는 시간 사이의 균형을 유지하려 조금만 노력하셔도 쉐어하우스의 생활을 충분히 즐기실 수 있을 거에요! 

 

Staff : 와, 정말 경험에서 우러나오는 조언이네요. 소중한 경험을 나눠주셔서 감사합니다. 건강하게 군 복무 마치시고 보더리스 하우스들 중한 곳에서 다시 한번 뵙게 되기를 기대할게요!

 

Wonseok : 저도요! 그동안 정말 감사했습니다.

 

Staff : 감사합니다! 

 

(↓스위스, 독일, 일본에서 온  친구들과 함께하는 맥주 타임)

보더리스하우스와 함께하는 해외 경험 어떠신가요?

ー 편집자 노트

 

원석씨와 함께한 인터뷰 어떠셨나요? 일본과 대만, 한국을 넘나드는 국제 교류 경험을 듣는 것이 너무 흥미로웠던 것 같아요!

원석 씨처럼 한국에서 지내시면서도 영어와 일본어를 사용하고, 관심있는 국가의 워홀 정보도 얻을 수 있다면 일석삼조의 효과를 얻게 되는 선택이 아닐까요? 

해외 워홀이나 유학에 관심이 있으신 분이라면, 그 시작을 보더리스 하우스와 함께시작해보세요! 

현재 한국인 입주자분들을 대상으로 2+1 할인 캠페인도 진행중이랍니다. (12월 15일 이전 입주자의 경우)

언제든 편하게 문의주세요!

[보더리스 쉐어하우스] 제 1기 서포터즈 보들보들 퇴실 후기

안녕하세요! 다시 찾아온 보더리스 하우스 서울 지점입니다.

무더웠던 7월부터 8월까지 보더리스 하우스에서 약 6주간 생활하며
하우스 커뮤니티 증진을 위해 애써 주셨던 하우스 서포터즈 보들보들 분들이
지난 8월 24일 모두 퇴실을 완료 하셨어요. ㅠㅠ

제 1기 보더리스 하우스 서포터즈의 퇴실 후기
지금부터 들려드릴게요 ~!

보더리스 영등포 1 하우스의 이수지 님이
보들보들 분들 중 가장 먼저 퇴실을 하셨어요.

미국 유학 생활 중 방학동안 잠시 한국에서 지내셨던 건데
보더리스 하우스 생활 덕분에 영어의 감을 잃지 않을 수 있었다고 해요.

쉐어하우스 메이트들과 하루도 빠지지 않고
활발한 교류 활동을 하셨던 수지씨!
미국에서도 건강하게 지내시길 바랄게요.

보더리스 홍대 4 하우스의 보들보들 하유진 님은
하우스 청소 규칙을 다시 만들고,
외국인 룸메이트의 한국 생활 고충을 들어준게
쉐어하우스 생활 중 가장 기억에 남는 일이었다고 해요.

바쁜 개인 일정 속에서도 항상 룸메이트들 챙겨주셔서 정말 감사했어요!

보더리스 장한평 1 하우스의 보들보들 장유진 님이
SNS 포스팅 1등의 영광을 거머쥐셨답니다!

같은 방을 사용했던 일본인 룸메이트 분의
보들보들 후기 중 일부를 가지고 와 봤는데
얼핏 봐도 유진 씨 께서 쉐어하우스의
해피 바이러스였음을 알 수 있네요.

유진이가있어서 우리 하우스 메이트들이 더 친해진 것 같아요 !
항상 이야기에 중심에는 유진이가 있었고
유진이가 있으면 분위기가 완전 밝아 져요 ㅎㅎㅎ
이번에 서포터즈로 와줘서 정말 감사했고 덕분에 즐거운 시간이 됐어요!

보더리스 강남 2 하우스의 서포터즈 이현 님이
보들보들 분들 중 마지막 퇴실이셨어요!

하우스 메이트 이본은 한국이 처음이었는데
현씨 덕분에 금방 적응할 수 있었다며
퇴실하는 날까지 배웅을 해주셨답니다.

자칫하면 그냥 집에서 하릴없이 흘려보냈을
대학교 첫 방학을 쉐어하우스 생활을 통해
행복한 기억으로 가득 채우셨다며
퇴실 후에도 하우스 메이트 분들과
종종 만나기로 약속하셨다고 하네요!

이렇게 보더리스 하우스 서포터즈
제 1 기 보들보들의 공식 활동이 모두 마무리 되었습니다!

(사진은 보들보들 1기의 귀염 뽀짝한 롤링페이퍼)

처음 시도해 보았던 서포터즈 활동이다 보니
저희 쪽에서도 부족했던 점이 많았는데
모두들 잘 따라주셔서 너무 고마웠습니다 !!

서울 쉐어하우스 서포터즈 2기 보들보들은
1기 활동을 통해 깨달은 부족했던 부분들을 꼭 보완해서
더욱 풍성하고 알찬 활동으로 꾸며 가도록 하겠습니다.

 

보들 보들 1 기 안녕 ~
