Cultural Connections! Exciting Event Highlights from BORDERLESS HOUSE

BORDERLESS HOUSE is more than just a place to live; it’s a community where people from all walks of life come together to share experiences, cultures, and friendships. With locations in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, our share houses promote cultural exchange and fosters connections among residents from around the world.

Events play a crucial role in building this sense of community, providing opportunities for housemates to bond and create lasting memories. From lively parties to outdoor adventures, each event brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds, enriching their lives and enhancing their understanding of different cultures.

Join us as we highlight some of the exciting events that make living at BORDERLESS HOUSE a truly unique experience!

A Night of Connection: BORDERLESS NOMIKAI in Tokyo

One of the most exciting events at BORDERLESS HOUSE Tokyo was the Big Drinking Party, or “Nomikai (飲み会) ,” which brought together over 50 residents from 22 share houses across Tokyo. Participants mingled with drinks in hand, practicing their English and Japanese while enjoying the lively atmosphere. The lively gathering didn’t stop there! Many residents continued the fun with a second round of festivities, creating an energetic and welcoming atmosphere that highlights the spirit of living in share houses in Tokyo.

The concept of a “Nomikai” is deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. It’s a social event where colleagues, friends, or community members gather over drinks, often to build relationships and relax outside of their daily routines. At BORDERLESS HOUSE, events like this allow residents—both locals and foreigners living in Tokyo’s share houses—to experience authentic aspects of Japanese culture while forming meaningful international friendships.

Summer Fireworks Celebration in Kyoto

Japan is famous for its stunning summer fireworks festivals, known as hanabi festivals, which light up the night sky from July to August. Major cities like Tokyo and Osaka host renowned events, such as the Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival in Tokyo and the Yodogawa Fireworks Festival in Osaka, attracting thousands of attendees.

Additionally, there are many smaller festivals in the Kansai region that offer special experiences, complete with food stalls and traditional yukata outfits. These lively celebrations not only highlight Japan’s rich culture but also give people a chance to connect with others and make lasting memories during warm summer nights.

The Kansai Fireworks Event was a standout moment of the summer for residents of BORDERLESS HOUSE. This amazing event brought together people from different share houses in Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe, creating an unforgettable evening filled with light, color, and community.

Lake Biwa Outing: Bringing Together the Kansai Share House Community

Residents from BORDERLESS HOUSE share houses in Osaka and Kyoto came together for a memorable day out at Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest freshwater lake known for its stunning views and crystal-clear waters. Located just a short trip from Kyoto, Lake Biwa is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a perfect setting for outdoor activities and relaxation.

The gathering was an ideal opportunity for both new and long-term residents to bond through shared experiences. New residents were warmly welcomed into the fold, experiencing firsthand the inclusive and friendly atmosphere that BORDERLESS HOUSE is known for. Together, they made hot dogs, enjoyed swimming in the lake, and spent time taking in the natural beauty around them.

Language Exchange: Enhancing Language Skills and Friendships in Tokyo Share House

At BORDERLESS HOUSE Tokyo, the recurring language exchange event provides an engaging platform for residents to practice both English and Japanese. This event is particularly popular among those living in share houses across Tokyo, offering a space where locals and foreigners alike can come together to learn from one another, build connections, and improve their language skills in a relaxed environment.

The format of the language exchange is designed to encourage interaction and ease in communication. Conversations are guided by various topics, from daily life and culture to personal interests, ensuring participants can practice both casual and structured communication. 

For participants, the benefits extend beyond just language improvement. Practicing with native speakers enhances listening and speaking skills in a natural, supportive setting, boosting confidence for everyday interactions in Japan. It also helps residents gain insight into cultural nuances and local expressions, enriching their overall experience of living in a Tokyo share house.

For foreign tenants, these exchanges are an invaluable way to immerse themselves in Japanese culture while building friendships that make their time in Japan more meaningful.

A World of Experiences Awaits at BORDERLESS HOUSE

The diverse events offered by BORDERLESS HOUSE, highlight the vibrant and multicultural community at the heart of each share house.

【Event Recap】BORDERLESS HOUSE New Year Party 2024 !

Greetings from Borderless House.

Can you believe it’s already been a month since 2024 began? Time sure flies! We’ve settled back into our daily routines after the holiday season, but today, I’d like to take you back to the New Year’s festivities for a moment!

In this blog post, we’ll be sharing a recap of our joint New Year’s party held on January 27th. It was an eventful day filled with laughter, bonding, and cultural exchange, and we’re excited to give you a glimpse of the fun we had.

So, let’s dive in and relive the excitement of New Year Party 2024!

We had the pleasure of hosting over 60 former and current residents from all 25 houses in attendance! It was a vibrant mix of nationalities and backgrounds, with everyone eagerly engaging in conversations, sharing stories, and reconnecting with old friends.

Calligraphy Competition, Quiz Time, and Mochi Pounding!

Our first activity was a calligraphy competition, a nod to the traditional Japanese New Year’s practice of “kakizome.” Instead of setting specific goals for the year, participants were encouraged to express themselves freely through words or illustrations. The creativity and enthusiasm displayed by each team were truly inspiring!

Following the calligraphy competition, we switched gears to a Borderless House-themed quiz. Teams competed against each other, answering questions about our houses, staff members, and various cultural tidbits. It was impressive to see the depth of knowledge and teamwork on display!

And of course, no New Year party would be complete without mochi pounding! Participants gathered around as we prepared fresh mochi using traditional mortars and pestles. The rhythmic pounding and laughter filled the air as everyone worked together to create delicious mochi treats.

As the evening drew to a close, we couldn’t help but reflect on the success of the event. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, we were thrilled to see the sense of community and camaraderie that flourished throughout the day. From heartfelt conversations to shared laughter, it was a celebration to remember.

Embracing the Future: Building on Memories, Cultivating Community

Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue fostering connections and creating memorable experiences for our residents. Be sure to stay tuned for future events, as there’s plenty more fun to come!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the New Year Party 2024. Here’s to another year of friendship, growth, and unforgettable moments at Borderless House Tokyo!

【Event Review】Halloween Fun at Borderless House Tokyo: A Night to Remember!

Hello everyone! Welcome to Borderless House!

We’re an international exchange share house, Borderless House, nestled in Japan, where daily life is enriched by the diverse cultures and backgrounds of our housemates from around the globe. 

Driven by our desire to foster connections beyond just those in the same house, we aim to broaden horizons through intercultural understanding. In line with this vision, on October 21st (Saturday), we organized a grand Halloween party, uniting 44 of our houses in Tokyo.

Marking our first major inter-house event since the onset of COVID-19, the anticipation and a hint of nervous excitement were palpable among our organizing team. The event turned out to be a resounding success, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of 85 participants from 24 houses, all contributing to a lively and memorable celebration!

Experience the vibrancy and excitement of the event through our video recap! 

Bringing you the Halloween Party Scenes!

To facilitate encounters beyond the confines of individual houses, the party venue was set in a certain event space in Takadanobaba. The party, which started at 6 PM, kicked off with an icebreaker for self-introductions, designed to ease the tension and encourage interaction even among those meeting for the first time.

Light snacks and drinks were also provided, quickly creating a warm and friendly atmosphere at the venue. The goal of this event was to foster connections between housemates from different houses. To encourage mingling beyond the usual cliques, the icebreaker involved grouping members from various houses. The atmosphere quickly became lively with animated conversations filling the space.

A Frenzied, Eco-Friendly Mummy Game!

As the venue buzzed with warmth and excitement, it was time for the thrilling game corner! Participants were randomly divided into teams to compete in the ‘Mummy Game,’ where they wrapped each other in toilet paper as quickly and creatively as possible, adding to the event’s excitement.

In this game, we emphasized not only creativity but also environmental consciousness. Instead of using toilet paper, we provided rags made from recycled fabric, challenging participants to transform into a mummy using as little material as possible. This added a unique twist to the scoring criteria.

The housemates competed enthusiastically, each aiming to be the top mummy in terms of speed, appearance, and eco-friendliness. The winner was decided by the volume of applause from the audience, with the victorious team receiving QUO cards as prizes. The participants, fully engaged and reminiscent of their childhood days, wrapped each other in cloth, bringing an energetic buzz to the venue. They enjoyed themselves so thoroughly that it seemed they forgot they had just met that day, bonding over the shared fun.

The highlight of the event was the Costume Award!

As the Halloween party drew to a close, we held the much-anticipated “Costume Award,” where attendees voted for the most impressive costume. The winner, dazzling in style, was a housemate adorned in a delightful pink sailor outfit!

Time always seems to fly during such joyous occasions. The party, alive with energy from beginning to end, eventually reached its conclusion. We capped off the event with a group photo, capturing a lasting memory for all participants.

This event marked Borderless House’s first large-scale social gathering in some time. We extended invitations not just to current residents but also to former housemates and their friends, creating an environment brimming with cheerful conversations and smiles. It was a gathering that truly reflected the warm, family-like spirit of the Borderless House community.

Borderless House Exclusive Events – Highlights of April 2023!

April is always an exciting and bustling month for us at BORDERLESS HOUSE, and this year was no exception. We were thrilled to welcome a diverse group of new tenants from various corners of the globe to Japan! In this blog post, let’s take a moment to recap the vibrant events that took place in April and celebrate the beginning of their extraordinary journey with us!

BORDERLESS STATION

At BORDERLESS HOUSE, our commitment to fostering multicultural connections extends beyond our share houses. We are proud to introduce “Borderless Station” , a vibrant community space and restaurant located on the first floor of our office in Asakusabashi. Borderless Station offers a unique culinary experience, bringing together flavors from around the world, along with a range of multicultural events. In this blog post, I will highlight two exciting events that recently took place at Borderless Station!

  • Language Exchange
    This event provides an opportunity for our tenants to learn and practice foreign languages while enjoying the company of friends from different cultural backgrounds. It’s an event where language barriers fade away, and meaningful connections are formed.

  • BH Night
    BH Night is another remarkable event that recently took place at Borderless Station, and it was a resounding success! We offered our tenants a chance to enjoy delectable food and drinks at discounted prices. The positive response to this event has encouraged us to make it a monthly gathering, open not only to our tenants but also to non-tenants. We invite everyone to join us and experience the joy of BH Night!

Celebrating New Connections and Cherished Memories Together

Welcome and Farewell Party
This April, we welcomed a whopping 80 new residents from all over the world. The “Welcome Party” is a big event to welcome new housemates! This event is a great way to build a new friendship.

As the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end,” and so it was with April. Alongside the excitement of welcoming new members, we also faced the bittersweet task of bidding adieu to our beloved tenants. The “Farewell Party” was an occasion tinged with nostalgia and mixed emotions, and our tenants celebrated the beautiful memories they had shared.

Meeting the Best Housemates in Japan! The Everyday Life of one of our Share Houses

The tenants residing in this share house have formed strong bonds of friendship. They joyously marked the Christmas season by adorning a petite Christmas tree and donning Santa costumes! Additionally, they sometimes went out together for yakiniku – Japanese BBQ!

Sometimes, the tenants have trips together. This photo captures a moment from their visit to Ibaraki, which is the hometown of one of the tenants. Moreover, during the “Golden Week” holiday, they embarked on a collective trip to Hakone!

The living room, where everyone gathers, is a great hub for tenants to interact with their housemates. They can build a warm bond like a family there.
In fact, a resident of this share house expressed, “I am genuinely grateful to be a member of this community, and I am glad that I came to Japan.” at her farewell party.

Utilizing Your Passions and Skills! “Tenants-Initiated Events”

The Slow Food Diner at BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto-Nishijin
Our tenant Miko, who calls herself “sloth”, started the slow-food diner! This event was planned for the purpose of spending more time with her housemates and encouraging them to try cooking or try Japanese cuisine.

She also has an interest in the slow food movement, local consumption, agricultural issues, and dieting. The healthy food prepared based on such knowledge gave her housemates a great opportunity to interact with others and think about “diet”.

Badminton Event at BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto-Kinugasa
BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto-Kinugasa is a large and lively share house with 23 tenants from 12 different countries. This time, I want to introduce its badminton event! Playing badminton in the spacious gymnasium looks a lot of fun:) Enjoying sports together with your house mates is sure to bring you closer together!

Do You Know the Unique Party that Showcases Japan’s Charm!? “Everyday Life at BORDERLESS HOUSE in Kyoto”

The last part of this blog post is about the enchanting daily life at our three share houses located in the picturesque Kansai area: BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto-Nishijin, Kyoto-Kinugasa, and Kyoto-Saiin2!

Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki Party at Kyoto-Nishijin & Kyoto-Kinugasa Share Houses
Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki Party” is one of the popular events among BORDERLESS HOUSE tenants! Gathering around the hotplate, tenants experienced the unique food culture of Japan. With their favorite drinks in hand, everyone enjoyed good conversation and food.

As you can see from this photo, it turned out to be a very large-scale and lively party. The spacious living room of BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto-Nishijin, which is a large-scale share house, was filled with participants! It was a great opportunity for tenants to meet new people and share a good time.

BBQ at Lake Biwa – BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto-Kinugasa

Under the refreshing blue sky, the tenants of BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto-Kinugasa enjoyed a barbecue! With the large Lake Biwa in the background, everyone is smiling for the camera, and you can tell how close they are.

The weather was perfect, and everyone’s excitement was at its peak! The food grilled with the help of all the tenants was even more delicious than usual!
The instant photos capturing the memories of the barbecue will surely become cherished treasures.

A Trip to Lake Biwa – BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto-Saiin2

The tenants of BORDERLESS HOUSE Kyoto-Saiin2 also visited Lake Biwa together! Weekends are the best time to get to know each other! Exploring nearby shops together or going sightseeing allows you to share a special experience with your housemates. The tenants relaxing on the sandy ground around the lake look as if they are at the beach! The beautiful scenery of the lake must have become a memorable experience for the tenants.

波波暑期換宿 – 替室友辦個活動吧!

BORDERLESS HOUSE Taiwan在今年舉辦了第一屆的「波波暑期換宿」活動,提供了為期一個月的的免費住宿,給對share house生活有興趣的同學喔!而這次就有四位女孩通過了面試,加入BORDERLESS HOUSE的大家庭,和我們一起體驗共居生活!

而入住Share House除了生活上的互動及文化交流外,室友間的日常小活動也是非常重要的,在這一個月的期間,四位波波們都各自替家中室友舉辦了一場小活動,讓我們一起來看看他們的Vlog和Blog吧!

中山2:Tutorㄅㄆㄇ

許多入住BORDERLESS HOUSE的外國室友,都是在台灣學習中文的學生,所以如果生活上能有更多機會練習中文,對他們來說是在好不過了!所以入住了中山2見的波波──品瑄,和好友Bella共同替日本室友舉辦了「Tutorㄅㄆㄇ」的中文課程喔!除了學習中文,還一起寫書法,練習打中國結,讓日本室友們也覺得收穫滿滿!

大安2:室友歡迎會

住在share house裡,迎新送舊是很常有的事情,趁著最近有好幾位新室友加入大安2這個大家庭的機會,波波──宜庭,決定替新室友舉辦一個歡迎會,邀請了所有的室友們加入電影之夜,一起大啖Pizza和超台灣味的鹽酥雞喔!

芝山1:Bye Bye 歡送會

新室友會來,舊室友當然也會有離開的一天,入住芝山1的波波──羽倩,在暑期換宿的尾聲,也正好遇上了來自冰島的室友Kia要回國了,於是羽倩決定替Kia舉辦了bye bye party,而因為來自冰島的Kia非常喜歡騎腳踏車,派對結束後,一夥人還陪著Kia到河堤邊夜騎腳踏車、吹吹風,讓我們來看看羽倩的活動紀錄分享吧!

新埔1:台灣零食同樂會

你們最喜歡的台灣零時是什麼呢?入住新埔1的波波──暄淇,發現許多台灣人愛吃的零食,外國室友們竟然都沒有嘗試過呢!於是她決定在家裡舉辦了零時同樂會,邀請外國室友們加入,一起品嘗經典的台灣零食,並排名選出自己最喜歡哪一樣!下面就是暄淇為這個活動所寫部落格,快來看看你最愛的零食有沒有上榜吧!

日本女孩評測 – 9種必吃台灣零食! by 暄淇

之前和日本室友分享我個人超愛的義美巧克力酥片,發現已經在台灣唸書快一年的她竟然還沒吃過,於是我便下定決心要舉辦一個台灣零食同樂會!

當天我準備了9樣台灣零食讓他們品嚐!

這些零食都是台灣人小時候去校外教學,或者去畢業旅行時必帶的東西!
都是相當有名氣也很容易取得的零食,在各大賣場/超市/便利商店都能夠買到,
甚至在一些網路商店上也都能找到~

原本以為義美巧克力酥片會是她們最喜歡的,沒想到她們居然最愛蚵仔煎洋芋片!
不過她們表示,並不是因為甜的零食不好吃,而是因為很多日本相似口味的甜零食比台灣的好吃很多,因此鹹的零食在這次的零食同樂會才會佔優勢!

以下就是台灣9種必吃零食排名!

最後的最後!

你們知道乖乖有個有趣的都市傳說嗎?
沒有的話,你有發現你常常在機器上看到乖乖嗎?
那是因為,乖乖有好好做某件事或者不出包的意思,放在機器上就是要機器乖乖,而且只能放綠色包裝的!因為機器亮紅燈或黃燈的話通常是它出問題了,
因此紅色包裝跟黃色包裝都是不能放的呦!

你相信這個都市傳說嗎?還是你覺得太迷信了呢?


以上就是四位波波為家裡室友所舉辦的小活動,不知道大家覺得如何呢?

入住國際交流Share House除了可以,除了認識新朋友,日常的生活也可以更豐富喔!對共居生活有興趣的朋友,快來加入我們吧!

不只是住宿!BORDERLESS HOUSE 活動回顧

大家對於入住BORDERLESS HOUSE最期待的是什麼呢?

有很多房客告訴我們,他們最期待的就是我們不定期舉辦的活動啦!

參加活動除了好玩有趣、交新朋友,還能學習國際文化,是不是很棒呢?

今天我們就來回顧一下,BORDERLESS HOUSE過去舉辦的幾個活動,也讓你們可以期待一下未來的新活動喔!

茶壺山

爬山踏青一直是BORDERLESS HOUSE最喜歡舉辦的活動類型之一,除了可以帶大家走進大自然、認識新朋友,還能同時欣賞台灣的在地美景。

而這次的茶壺山健行,就是山景、海景一次滿足!從山腳沿著石階步道一路往上,就能遠眺超美的陰陽海海景喔!而且鄰近的景點還有九份、金瓜石,安排一日遊行程再適合不過了!

↓↓ 活動影片看這裡 ↓↓

北海岸淨灘

郊遊活動也可以非常有意義!北海岸的老梅石槽,在每年春天會有大量海藻附著在石槽上,形成綠意盎然的獨特美景,但因為觀光客的造訪,海灘上也留下了非常多的垃圾。(再次呼籲大家,隨手帶走自己的垃圾,和我們一起愛護環境。)

於是BORDERLESS HOUSE就和台北市政府申請了淨灘地許可,帶著房客們一起去欣賞美景,也為地球的環境盡一份心力!真的十分感謝有這麼多房客支持我們,和我們一起參與這次的活動,有你們真好!

↓↓ 活動影片看這裡 ↓↓

House Party

BORDERLESS HOUSE目前在台北有21個物件,分布在台北幾個不同的區域,我們希望房客們除了認識同物件的室友外,也可以和其他物件做交流,所以我們會不定期針對各個區域,邀請不同物件但同個區域的室友,一起到家裡吃吃喝喝、玩遊戲,拓展一下交友圈喔!

中秋烤肉

每年的中秋節烤肉,可以說是BORDERLESS HOUSE一年一度最盛大的活動之一,像是去年的中秋節,就有將近60位房客加入我們「大烤」的行列喔!

而每次烤肉,我們都會把大家分成幾個不同的小組,每個小組都會有來自不同物件的室友,讓大家除了和自己家的室友相處外,也有機會和新認識夥伴們一起烤肉過中秋!

萬聖節扮裝

不知道大家有沒有參加過萬聖節扮裝活動呢?BORDERLESS HOUSE的萬聖節扮裝也是大家非常期待的活動之一,每次看到大家認真裝扮,都非常有感,所以我們也舉辦了票選活動,讓大家投票選出心目中第一名的裝扮,得獎的房客會收到我們準備的小禮物喔!

大稻埕旗袍一日遊

除了各種踏青、派對活動以外,體驗一下在地的台灣文化也是必須的!

大家出國旅遊的時候,一定多少都有嘗試過當地的傳統服飾吧?像是到韓國會穿韓服,去了日本則會穿和服,但大家有體驗過穿「旗袍」嗎?我們這次就帶著大家來個旗袍初體驗啦!

大稻埕旗袍一日遊的活動,帶著大家體驗穿旗袍,走訪大稻埕的舊城建築,也順便到霞海城隍廟做參拜。(當然也要拍很多美照)

如果有任何特別的想法,也歡迎分享給我們知道,讓BORDERLESS HOUSE未來能再提供更多更棒的活動體驗喔!

「共居生活」新趨勢! 新型態租屋,共生公寓是什麼? 你也適合嗎?

在這個共享經濟興起的年代,相信有越來越多人都聽說過共生公寓、共同生活空間、Share House、Co-living space……等等名詞。

但「共居」究竟是什麼概念呢?共居生活是什麼樣子?什麼樣的人適合共居呢?

今天我們和大家分享什麼是「共居」,並且以BORDERLESS HOUSE的share house為例,和大家分享共居的生活日常,以及什麼樣的人適合共居生活唷!

什麼是「共居」?

近幾年「共居」的生活模式在台灣越來越夯,尤其是外來人口佔了極大比例的台北,有越來越多租屋族都會選擇「共居」的租屋模式。「共居」就像是一個生活社群,由來自不同成長背景或文化的人們,透過同住在一個屋簷下,建立起更緊密的人際關係及交流的機會,對於像是北漂青年、獨自到異地工作或唸書的人來說,是一個認識新朋友非常好的機會,許多人透過共居,學習到不同的價值觀,建立更豐富的生活經驗。

而共居的租期相較於一般套房、雅房租賃更短(BORDERLESS HOUSE最短租期為一個月),也就提供了大家更彈性的租屋選擇囉!當然,也有許多人入住後,就愛上了這樣的生活模式,一住就是好幾年呢!

Share house的共居日常

1. 透過生活學習新語言

BORDERLESS HOUSE在台北有21間物件,以50:50的比例,招收外國籍和台灣籍房客,所以對於想要練習語言的朋友,住在share house便是一個很好的選擇,可以透過生活上的交流,和室友們練習自己的口說能力!

2. 下班不孤單,像家人一般的陪伴

如果你喜歡交朋友,熱愛學習新文化,share house會是一個很適合的選擇!尤其是出了社會後,認識新朋友已經不如學生時期來的簡單,於是share house就提供了很好的機會,讓大家從生活中,自然而然認識世界各地的朋友。

 3. 享受一起下廚的樂趣

廚房及用餐區常常是share house最熱鬧的地方!來自世界各地的大家,常常會聚在一起煮飯、分享各國美食及文化,不但可以增進室友之間的感情,也可以嚐到各個國家的特色菜喔!

4. 放假出遊的好玩伴

住在share house,一定會認識許多不同的朋友,而周末放假,就是大家一起出門探索冒險的時候,BORDERLESS HOUSE也會不定期舉辦各種踏青、語言交換、派對活動,透過外國室友的眼睛,反而可以看見台灣不同的一面呢!

什麼樣的人適合Share house呢?

1.  一顆開放、接納的心

Share house,顧名思義是一個共享的空間,入住後將會碰上許多不同性格、不同文化的室友!雖然在BORDERLESS HOUSE的規範中,每個房客入住前都需要經過審核,但每個成長在不同背景的人,都還是有其不同的性格,有時候,面對一個價值觀可能南轅北轍的新朋友,多一點理解,少一點計較,會讓彼此都更快樂,也更自在喔!

2. 喜歡交友,學習新事物

互動,在share house裡是十分重要的一環,也是BORDERLESS HOUSE的核心理念之一!多數選擇share house的房客,都期待能在這樣的空間裡,和室友們有更多、更好的互動,所以如果每天都只想把自己關在房間裡,那就太可惜啦!
