For anyone who works in areas like Ikebukuro or Shinjuku, a quick fifteen-minute train ride makes commuting very easy.

There is also a very convenient shopping area located not too far away from the house, with supermarkets, drug stores, and bookstores. This Yanaka-Sendagi neighborhood is full of history, once serving as a gateway to old Tokyo, Edo, along the Nakasendo Highway. Today there are also many houses that once served as residences for feudal lords.

One such historic location is the Rikugien Garden, located very nearby.

House Sharing Will Be A Good Way Of Living To Save Money

When moving to a new country, people have to start their lives out. They have a new job, must meet new people, make some friends, and they live in different surroundings. As exciting as it sounds, it can also be exhausting to adjust to everything new at once. It will also undoubtedly be expensive.

According to most foreigners that have moved to foreign countries, the biggest challenge that they faced after the move was finding accommodations. Some people end up at expensive studio apartments due to a lack of choice, others have to compromise on the locality of the apartment or pay high rents to enjoy a comfortable stay.

Not every house owner in east Asian countries is willing to rent their place to foreigners, and even then most of them ask for a local cosigner to guarantee on behalf of the tenant. The language and the cultural gap make local people feel that foreigners won’t understand them or get along with them. This is why they make no compromises on security money and ask for higher rents from foreigners.

Making a move can be an extensive and life changing task, which often disheartens people. Without friends and family around, they find it difficult to conduct an apartment search.

The solutions to all of the problems faced during apartment searching are offered by share houses. Share houses are rental houses with multiple rooms available for rent. While people have separate rooms, they also have common areas like the living room and kitchen. Share houses are mostly found in cities where the number of foreigners living in the city is high. The primary goal of a share house is to make sure that foreigners do not find it difficult to adjust to the new country.

Compared to apartments, share houses are a cheaper alternative for a comfortable accommodation. Along with clean rooms and basic amenities, share houses provide an opportunity for foreigners to make friends in the city.

People living at share houses are able to save money and have more flexibility in terms of the contract. If you’re on a small budget and are considering a move to countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, you might want to go through this article on how house-sharing could be a good way of living to save money.

Avoid Long Contract Periods

Most apartment rental contracts are signed for one year. The tenants have not experienced life in those apartments before signing the agreement. This is why when they experience some challenges living there, they are unable to move as they are bound by the contract. If they have to move by breaking the contract, they might have to pay a penalty.

Moreover, if you are required to move back to your country or some other place due to unexpected circumstances, then you will have to break the contract and will be charged.

Living in a share house is more flexible in situations like these. When living at a share house, if you do not like the place you are at, you can easily move out. Share houses are rented for shorter periods of time, so if you’re moving to a foreign country only for 6 months, staying at a share house could be your best money-saving bet.

Most share houses offer a room for the minimum stay of 1 month. Even if you are asked to sign a yearly contract, it will include a clause that if you give 30-45 days notice before moving out, then you will not be charged a penalty for moving out with less than a month’s notice. This offers relief to tenants who are unsure about the period of their stay in the nation.

Fully-Furnished Rentals

When having moved to a new apartment, you will need to furnish it as soon as possible for normal life to begin. Some of the furniture and appliances that you will need during your stay include a bed, table, cupboard, refrigerator, washing machine, water heater, air conditioning, etc. Buying furniture and appliances is a big investment. These items will likely cost you around one month’s rent.

Share houses are fully-furnished to ensure comfort. Every room has a bed and cupboard, whereas the common rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms are equipped with all the required furniture and appliances.

When someone moves to a share house, they only need to carry their everyday personal belongings. They do not need to spend money on furniture or decor and therefore are able to save money. They are able to use appliances that they might not have purchased themselves if they were to rent a private apartment. For example, a washing machine.

When they move to another country, they do not have to worry about selling or transporting furniture and appliances. This takes a lot of cost load that they are already bearing, off of their shoulders.

 

Free Internet

Whether you are a student, working professional, or tourist, the internet is a necessity for everyone. It helps people stay connected, updated, and entertained. To enjoy seamless internet connectivity, most people have Wi-Fi installed at their apartments.

Setting up the internet at your apartment will be some cost to you. You will also have to pay some extra cost in the beginning. There are not many landlords that will provide free internet to their tenants. However, share houses offer free internet connectivity to all its housemates at no extra cost.

The cost of the internet is already included in the monthly rent. The internet connectivity is strong and the housemates can enjoy smooth surfing. Access to the internet is limited to the housemates to avoid usage by outsiders which would cause poor connectivity.

Less Initial Fees

Share house managers do not expect you to pay a few months’ rent as deposit or downpayment. The initial fee is comparatively much lower than what is charged by apartment landlords. This enables most people to expand their budget and rent a room at a luxury share house. They are even able to spend money on sightseeing around the new country.

The initial fee at the BORDERLESS HOUSES is more reasonable compared to a typical apartment or condominium.

It does not matter which country you move to, the brokerage costs are usually high. While brokers are quite efficient at finding accommodations, they are often working in their best interests rather than yours. When renting a share house, you can eliminate the need for hiring a broker. Share houses are easy to find as they usually have an online presence. When renting a room at a share house, you will not have to hire a broker and can directly contact the manager. This will help you save some money.

Lower Rents

With the increase in the number of foreigners coming to east Asian countries and local people moving to industrial areas, cities are getting crowded. This has led to a hike in rental prices in the city. For example, on average, renting an apartment in a good Taipei locality will cost you somewhere between 18,000NTD to 26,000NTD per month. The rent will depend on the city that you live in, the size of the apartment, proximity to the market or MTR stations, and the amenities offered.

The monthly rent of staying a share house is lower than that of renting an apartment. If you have a low budget, you can also rent a bed in a shared room or dormitory. This way, you will be able to use all the house amenities, without having to pay for a private room.

The deposit is lower at share houses and the maintenance fee is reasonable. What’s more, most share houses are located near train stations and in low-crime localities. They offer easy connectivity to most places in the city and do not empty the tenant’s pockets.

Conclusion

Quite evidently, the process of finding an accommodation in Taiwan for reasonable prices can be an exhausting task. Add to that the expenses that come with moving to a new place, like buying home appliances and paying maintenance costs. However, worry not, because you can always rent a room at a share house and save yourself some money.

BORDERLESS HOUSE is a share house company with many share houses in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The ratio of local people and foreigners at these share houses is kept equal. The motto of the company is to welcome the people that stay there and ensure their comfort. At BORDERLESS HOUSE, the rooms are rented at affordable prices, and the company offers shared rooms and dorms for people with lower budgets.

Why Are Share Houses The Best Shelter Option When You Are Starting Life In Abroad?

In the present world, borders and boundaries have become fluid. These lines that mark and enclose an area to represent a city, country, or continent, and which primarily only exist on paper are in the present world not as rigid as they used to be earlier. Instead, in the present moment, these boundaries have become porous to allow people to move in and out of a country. This sits true for the borders and boundaries of almost all the countries or continents around the globe.

The Earth presently has become a global space, and all the cities and countries have become a part of its chain. Whether it is for studies or managing businesses, every year we witness people moving across borders. Because of this, it has become a natural occurrence to find citizens of different nationalities living together in a country they were not born or brought up.

But if you have ever traveled overseas, then you would know that living in a new country is not a very pleasant experience especially during the initial days. It is so because when you go to a new place you usually miss your old friends and family, and the previous surroundings terribly. Plus, when you move to a new country you feel like a stranger, and thus, it becomes difficult to blend in.

Mixing-in in a new country is not as easy as it may appear in the first place. We say so because when you go to a new place, you usually don’t know much about the culture or tradition of that place. And because of this, you always feel anxious and stressed in your new surroundings. You are always on your toes observing how other people are behaving so you would not mistakenly do that would hurt or disrespect the sentiments of the natives.

Thus, in such a time when you have freshly moved into a new country, it is considered a good idea to live in a share house. Doing so will help you in many ways. Wondering how that works? Well, in that case, read our next section to find out your answers.

How are share houses helpful in starting a fresh life in a new country?

A sharehouse is a big property that is offered on rent to tenants where many strangers share the same roof. In a share house, you can rent a single room for yourself or you can rent a room that houses 3 to 4 people in total depending upon your needs and requirements. This place is a top shelter choice for people, especially for those who have freshly shifted to a new country because-
It helps you in understanding alien customs.

As we have already established, when you move to a new country, chances are that you will be unfamiliar with its customs and traditions. This can make you anxious while adding to your stress levels. Also, there is this probability that if you did something wrong because of your unfamiliarity with the local customs that the natives find offending or insulting, then you might feel even more alienated and alone. Thus, for this reason, it is a safe choice to live in a share house at least for the initial days because there you are bound to come across many people who will be interested in international exchange.

When you will live with them, such people will help you in learning more about their local culture, while at the same time they will also try to understand your traditions. This healthy exchange will make your life significantly easier. So, if you want to know about the local customs and traditions of a place, its food, its manners, etc. in a friendly way without wasting much time, then share houses should be your top priority while seeking shelter.

It is a borderless accommodation

When you move to a new space how fluently you can speak their local language plays a very important role in deciding the ease with which you will blend in your new surroundings. So, for example, if you have moved to Taiwan for your further studies and you can fluently speak and write Chinese, then this will probably mean that you will find it easier to navigate Taiwan as compared to someone who doesn’t even understand Chinese. It is so because when you don’t understand the local language of a place, you find it hard to explain to people your queries or emotions.

Now, in such a scenario, it is wise to find a share house in your new country because in share houses you can probably find residents who are familiar with your language. In this way, your common language can help you in befriending people and it can also help you in learning the local language quite easily. We, BORDERLESS HOUSE, make language exchange easy for you by offering on our website the information about the nationality of its residents. You can even opt to talk to the residents of the share house while requesting a preview of the property.

It offers you easier access to common knowledge

When you shift to a new country, other than the customs, traditions, and language of that place there are many other things that you ought to learn about your new home town. These things include information on the common practices of the new place, knowledge about local shops and convenience stores in your locality, and awareness about the norms of living in that place such that your safety is not threatened.

Living in a share house can help you in gaining easy access to such information. It is so because when you are sharing a roof with other people you are bound to interact with them. In your conversations, you can come across the above-mentioned info without even requesting for the same. In opposed to this, if you opt to live alone in a new country, then acquiring such information may take some time.

Thus, these are some reasons because of which living in a share house should be your preferred choice. Living here can help you in settling-in easily.

Are Share Houses A Good Option For People Who Are Starting A Life Away From Parents?

Now, today’s youth, which is the youth of the 21st century, very well understands the importance of freedom and independence. Our youth knows how significant it is to stand on its legs without the support of others, even if that support is extended by your loved ones like your parents and relatives. Adolescents know the necessity of becoming self-sufficient, and therefore, in the present era as soon as they reach the legal age, they start striving for financial and other types of independence. One significant step that they undertake to become independent and self-sufficient is that of living away from their parents.


Now, living away from parents is a hard decision. When you live away from your home you learn important lessons. Living in a place where you don’t have the support of your parents or loved ones teaches you important lessons about life, and it prepares you for an unforeseeable future. Also, sometimes in cases, like when you find a job in a different city or when you have to go abroad for completing your studies, staying away from the home becomes a necessity. However, whatever be the cause, it cannot be denied that staying away from the home is difficult. It is majorly because when you leave home you are forced to take care of your security and your eating habits. There is nobody to look after you.


Hence, for those of you who are about to stay away from their home, we have searched a solution, the share house. Now, living in a share house after you move away from your parents’ home may not seem very promising, but this option can certainly make the transition easier for adolescents. Now, if you are wondering how that works, then read our next section to find your answers!


Why is a share house a good accommodation option for living away from parents?

Living in a share house is an altogether different experience. There are so many things that you can learn when you live here, away from the protective shadow of your loved ones. Now, renting this place as a living space when you start living away from your parents is the best decision that you can make because of the following reasons.

● Share houses are secure spaces

When you are looking for shelter options, share houses should be your top-choice because these places are secure. It is so because of two reasons. First, the share houses in most places come equipped with alarm systems. So, because of this, the chances of anyone breaking into a share house reduce significantly.
Secondly, when living in a share house you share the home with many housemates. This acts as an added layer of security as there is an advantage to living in a group when compared to living alone. So, after moving out of the home if you realize that you are not so confident about your safety, then look for a share house as that is your safest option.

● Share houses are furnished spaces

When you newly move out of your home, you are trying to become independent and self-sufficient, but you usually do not have enough finances to support yourself. Also, at this stage, you are not used to living without any facilities, equipment, and furniture. Hence, at such times, the share house is a very good accommodation option as it comes equipped and well-furnished. Thus, living here saves you from a lot of trouble while also helping you in saving money. Thus, if you are staying away from your family and looking for a shelter, and you do not own much money, try renting a share house.

● They have broadband lines and internet connections

This pointer is specially meant for those people who have moved abroad in search of a job or for completion of their studies. Now, when you move to a new place the broadband lines and the internet connection is a must-have as it helps you in staying connected with your friends and family back home. This connection, in a broad sense, helps you in staying connected with the world, and it protects you from feeling alienated in a new country.
However, when you move to a new country, getting an internet connection, or setting up new broadband lines can be tough, and it can take time. In such circumstances, it is generally considered a wise move to rent a share house as these places have already up and running broadband lines and internet connection. Hence, living in a share house especially when you are a foreigner can help you in reducing your expenses, waiting time, and extra efforts.

● Share houses will enhance your eating habits

When you are living with your parents, you have your siblings, your mother, or someone else in your family fussing over your eating habits. In the home, someone is always cooking your favorite meal and asking you multiple times if you have had your meal or not. But when you move out to live independently, there is no one to check on you because of which many people fall into the habit of skipping meals. In this context too, living in a share house is beneficial because there you live in the company of housemates who might have good culinary skills. A lot of times, these people also teach you how to cook different cuisines. Also, when you are with other people, cooking and eating a healthy diet doesn’t seem like much effort.


Thus, because of these reasons, it can be ascertained that living in a share house is the best option after you have moved out of your parents’ place. Living in a share house teaches you to be independent while not making you suffer much. Hence, BORDERLESS HOUSE should be your first agenda when you are looking for a new shelter to move in.

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！

3. 共同維護居住環境

Share house的生活就如同一個大家庭，但除了交朋友，學習新文化之外，一個舒適的生活環境，也是需要居住在空間裡的房客們，共同去維護的！所以入住後，自然也要和室友們分工合作，一起維護家裡的整潔及衛生喔！

 

看完了上面對於「共居生活」的介紹，大家是不是對這樣的生活感到躍躍欲試呢？

其實共居生活可以讓簡單的日常更加有滋有味，認識來自世界各地新的朋友，也常常能擦出新的火花，但同樣的，也有許多需要和室友們合作，互相體諒的地方。

你們覺得自己也適合共居生活嗎？

如果答案是肯定的，不如就快點加入我們吧！

活動 | 大稻埕旗袍一日遊

和BORDERLESS HOUSE一起體驗旗袍，漫遊大稻埕！

大家出國旅遊的時候，一定都很喜歡體驗當地的傳統服飾吧！

去韓國旅遊的時候穿韓服，去日本有和服體驗，那大家有沒有嘗試過「旗袍」呢？  

這次的大稻埕漫遊，我們帶大家體驗非常有中華風情的旗袍，還有很棒的品茶活動喔！一起來看看吧！

這次的旗袍體驗活動是舉辦在「貳零年華」，老闆娘林阿姨非常親切地幫大家著裝打扮，而且對生活和藝術都非常有見解的林阿姨，會很熱情的和大家分享各種故事喔！

抵達之後，第一步就是先挑選自己喜歡的旗袍啦！有各種尺寸和款式的旗袍，大家可以放心試穿每種自己喜歡的款式。著裝完畢之後也不要忘了妝髮和挑選飾品喔！

不要以為只有女生可以來穿旗袍，男生也有中山裝可以穿唷！

著裝完畢之後就由林阿姨帶著大家品茶啦！完整的品茶有非常多的步驟，阿姨很細心地和大家講解，品嘗各種不同種類的茶。

每種不同的茶葉，沖泡後都有不同的香氣，大家都分享了自己對不同香氣的感受，每個人都有自己偏愛的茶葉。

當然，穿上了旗袍，也是需要拍一些美美的照片呀！很謝謝「樂花園」提供很棒的場地給我們拍照，讓大家都收穫滿滿的！

「樂花園」是一間非常有質感的二手家具店，就在林阿姨的旗袍店隔壁唷，有興趣的朋友也可以去逛逛看看。

下午的大稻埕巡禮，我們一行人走在充滿復古風情的街道，就像是回到了民國初年！還有人以為我們在拍戲呢！

首先，我們到了霞海城隍廟參觀。大稻埕的霞海城隍廟大約建立在1856年，有非常久的歷史，保佑了大稻埕這個區域世世代代的平安，而現在的霞海城隍廟，最有名氣的莫過月老了！

我們帶著大家一個步驟、一個步驟的參拜，祈求大家都能找到適合的另一半，對於第一次嘗試的房客來說非常有趣。

霞海城隍廟結束後，繼續我們的大稻埕巡禮！外國房客們對傳統的雜貨店很有興趣，尤其是絲瓜製成的菜瓜布，大家都覺得非常奇特。

當然，還有台灣媽媽們最喜歡的傳統買菜藍，號稱是台灣市場版的Gucci喔！

各式各樣的花布包也是台灣非常有特色的東西之一，還有用花布製成的燈籠，也是外國朋友很有興趣的裝飾品，很多人想要帶回國做裝飾呢！

穿著旗袍遊大稻埕真的是一件很有趣的事情呢！如果是對旗袍沒有興趣的人，大稻埕在舊城建築及文化都保存得非常好，依然是一個非常值得走走的地方喔！

物件交換計畫 | Victoria：「台灣一直是我想要拜訪的國家。」

「自從有了到亞洲旅行的念頭，台灣就一直是我想要拜訪的國家。」

Victoria抵達台灣那天，我們相約在捷運站出口見面，她推著行李廂，風塵僕僕的和我們打招呼，雖然因為國際航班的關係讓她有些疲倦，但仍然看得出是個非常活潑、可愛的女孩。

我們陪著她從捷運站，一起走到我們位於台電大樓的物件，一直想要來台灣旅行的她，顯得有些緊張卻又躍躍欲試。

Victoria告訴我們，這是她第一次獨自在亞洲旅行，但因為有了物件交換的這個計畫，讓她認為不管如何，都一定要來台灣看看！

「雖然我的亞洲行第一站是韓國，但台灣依然在我的腦海裡揮之不去，所以知道BORDERLESS HOUSE能提供這樣的機會，我就馬上訂了來台灣的機票！」

在幫Victoria安頓好在台灣的住宿後，就此展開了她在台灣為期一周的生活體驗！她告訴我們，短短的一周當中，她除了參加BORDERLESS HOUSE TW舉辦的聖誕派對，還去爬了象山、和台電大樓的房客們，一起度過幾個開心晚餐時光。

「最讓我印象深刻的就是象山了吧，我在路上認識了兩個也在台灣旅行的新朋友！晚上的時間我也會和室友們一起出去玩，他們超有趣的！」

「說實在的，我原本對於來台灣旅行感到很緊張、害怕，因為這是我第一次一個人旅行，我根本不認為我會在這裡認識新的朋友。」

在Victoria離開那天，我們到物件去替她做最後的確認，也訪問了她這周在台灣的體驗和心得，結果十分出乎我們意料，也讓我們替她非常的開心！

「這趟旅行顛覆了我的想像！我遇到很多很棒的朋友！我現在有點難過我必須要離開台灣了，但我一定會再回來的！就是100%肯定會的那種！」她依依不捨的跟我們說。

「我覺得有機會參加的物件交換的計畫，真的很幸運！」

其實不只是她，我們也非常高興這段時間能認識Victoria，她讓我們看到充滿活力、勇敢嘗試異國文化的女孩，並且非常融入台灣的生活，也希望很快能再次在台灣看到她！

也想加入我們的物件交換計畫嗎？ 點我 看資訊！
