What did you think of Alex's apartment? What kind of space could you get in your country with $650? Let us know!

Natasha here! It was super fun finally getting to see Alex’s place & she was the sweetest to give me that Tiger balm???? 🥵❤️ Hope you guys enjoyed the video!

I expected her kitchen would be a little bit bigger since she seemed cooking delicious food all the time! Sugooooi Alex ❤️

"This is something we use a lot (shows Tiger Balm)" Ah yes, a true Asian indeed

Thanks for featuring my home you guys! For those who are wondering, the rent does not include utility bills suchs as water, gas, electricity & WIFI. Those come up to about ¥10,000 per month - for me at least. It's higher during winter.

I like how there’s a door between the kitchen and the rest of the apartment, it helps a smaller space seem larger. Been seeing more and more loft bedrooms in smaller apartments that also help them seem more roomier

dang, that bed tho. The child in me would kill for that

They vibe pretty well. Would like to see the two in a future video project.

My favorite thing about Alex's apartment is Alex :3

My little OCD heart is bursting with appreciation for Alex's organisational skills 😄

Never thought you’d be able to get a flat this size in Tokyo for 650 a month! Cute little flat! I love the desk area, what a shame the kitchen is so small though!

Yassssss I've been waiting to see Alex's place! OCD organizational skills on point. Her fiance is a lucky guy! Alex sooo kawaii 😍

Her place is so cute. I love when you show us Japanese apartments.

The place looks organised and so cozy! Loved it!

My dad lived in Singapore for several years as a child and the only thing he brought back was an appreciation of tiger balm. I also use it for absolutely everything!

Love the little spice containers on the fridge! Great idea. 👏 Also love the otter toy. 😊

been waiting for this video ever since you mentioned it in the earthquake long life food video!!!! Thank you!! Lovely cozy apartment!!

Love the apartment tours. She organized the space very well and I love her desk. No sacrifice by trying to cram into a tiny work space.

Alex is so cute! What a great way to make use of some limited space. Thanks, Natasha!

The panic when the tiger balm fell! I feel you, it's magic!

Thanks for a very heartwarming video from 2 exceptional youtubers.

this place looks so cozy! I'm gonna move into my new place in tokyo next week too and I'm quite excited about it!

these two are so fun!!

I love this segment!!!

That spice magnet box is dope!

I love your place! It's super cute!

I enjoyed watching this episode very much, thanks a lot

Honestly despite the kitchen stove and the stupid sink to cookingspace ratio ... this apartment is just fine! I mean its really cheap for that size and location! Also I like the loft and your work desk a lot!

Genuinely a really fun video! Haha

Amazing space! Side note: I'd love a show/podcast with Natasha and Alex

For $650, you would get a small room in a flat/houseshare in London (zone 2 or 3 if lucky, not central London). Alex seems to make the most of her space though, super impressed she's so creative! Also, now I know I need a snack bar :)

my favourite thing about this video is Alex

You guys are so nice! Love you! Alex's place is lovely and funktional! Thank you for the secondhand tips!

Beautiful half sleeve ink!💖

The Snack Bar is my favorite part.. 😂

Oh yeah, tigerbalm. I am always stocked up. It is so soothing when you are in pain. It even helps me to fall asleep.

Awesome compact and comfy place ! agree with the wok and hi from Malaysia !

10:53 super tiny women, or giant cups?!?!?! lol

The drink looked so good I had to make it. I didn't have any cucumbers, but it still came out good!

Nice Twin Peaks mat at 0:38!

Great editing!

I LOVE ALEX'S CRIBBBBBBB

Surprised Indomie mentioned in Tokyo Creative LOL. Oh, Alex tattoo is really really cool !

here in switzerland you also have to pay for "oversized" items by weight to get them trashed, so people will very often give second hand furniture to the thrift store or give them away for free online. putting them by the roadside with a hastily scrawled paper that says "free" on it is also a popular choice.

That’s an adorable apartment!

Out near Boston or even in Boston 650 usd, could get you a shared house or apartment so you have a bed room that's private, a shared kitchen n restroom. Apartment wise not too far off but no door separating the kitchen from the other rooms unless lucky, some do most don't.

My grandma always had the tiger balm available. :-D It’s my go to now.

Tiger Balm! I grew up with the stuff, too (and still use it from time to time). I think it smells nice :)

i love seeing natasha host a few videos here and there!! 😍 will we get a tour of her new apartment next? i want to know all her plant names 🤣

This is literally my dream apartment!

Love the loft. I think I could live there though not what we're used to living in the Caribbean

That mug is a WHOLE mood 😭😭😭

Fantastic tokyo life 🌸 😊🇯🇵

I mean... I could definitely stay in an apartment like this for several years. Like, I the kinda guy that doesn't take up alot of space, so this kind of small little living space is so neat. And not to mention, it'd probably take me just a good hour to clean. It feels so neat and comfy.

This is such a cute apartment. I really like how cozy it is. I could not deal with that kitchen though

These videos give me hope that I can live abroad on a relitivley affoardable budget! I don't mind a sall space, and she made everything look so personal and pretty.

Indomie! YUM!!! That's a super cute apartment.

The workout money is a great idea I'm going to try that.

I have enjoyed several of your videos, you girls have good personalities with each other, and when you interact it's funny sometimes. here in the USA, our bathroom has both a toilet and a tub, plus a sink. My house has two bathrooms I have a big soaking tub in my room plus a shower stall and a toilet, my other one has just a toilet and a tub, plus a sink. I have 7 kitties that have their own room with two 80" cat trees, plus two Litter Robots (which cost $ 550 US each, which is approx 61,721 Yen.) because it saves me money. You see before I was using about 175#/month of cat litter, and had to clean their litter box several times per day. Now with the Litter Robots, I am using about 42#/month, and I do not have to clean their box about twice a week because they clean themselves. Worth every penny. And, yes they are spoiled rotten!

I like the kitchen has a door, open-plan living has it's negatives. I need to get me a black mug like Natasha's... Don't touch me peasant. 😆 Tiger Balm reminds me of my Grandma & I need some. Also I'm going to use that lemonade recipe, thank u.

Thank you so much for the links! As soon as the travel ban is lifted between Japan and the US I’ll be moving, and I’m a huge fan of secondhand everything! ❤️

Wow it’s a decent amount of space for a studio. I’m in around 20-24m2 space but I do have a larger kitchen area and I’d consider my place to not be overly small or cramped

Dawg, Alex's sleeve is dope AF

The only thing even close to the same level of Tiger Balm is Salonpas.

thank you sm for this omg

Excellent video! I love small spaces. And I love that black cup she gave you 🤣 So how do the people react to the arm tattoos?

Indomie Mi Goreng is 100% the best. Happy I found a place that has it in the states a few months ago.

Those glasses are... an interesting choice.

650 american moneys would get me >60m^2 in nottokyo but damn that looks comfy and nicely organized. Tiger Balm GOAT.

The red tiger balm slaps

Honestly 650 is such a steal and its soo cute, I am jealous.

Hi Alex! Where did you get your green pants from ? Love the colour!

Someone rocks the old school checkerboard Vans.

There are no livable spaces for $650 a mo. here in Chicago, very cute space. You fiancee is a lucky man, best of luck!

Larger than my studio when I used to live in Amsterdam. I had literally 10-12sqm and was paying over 1000Euro but it was right in the city centre.

Natasha, not to be *that* weirdo-stranger, but I love ya girl!! You are always so energetic and funny! I hope to be more like you someday.

omg Tiger Balm!!! xD I am german and my mother always got it...but not in such a big jar. We had like little red /Lip Balm" sizes metal jar thingies...xD Just hinking about it, I can already smell it. Also the appartment seems super nice, tho would be way to small for my spoiled self x'D

I just love places with lofts

It's so easy to find tiger balm here in the UK; reading the comments section, I had no idea it's hard to find in so many other countries!?!

I've always wondered why Natasha's face is familiar. Turns out she resembles Oonishi Saori, the voice actress (Einz Wallenstein from Danmachi, Hisako Arato from Food Wars!), a whole lot. You both are gorgeous. 💕

Huh. Everyone keeps talking about how living in tokyo is crazy expensive. But this is WAY cheaper than LA. I paid 650 to rent a bedroom during my college days. Is this an exception?

Really know the malaysian in her based on the bedsheets i have the same one at home 😂

During the kitchen part of the tour, I wondered if Alex had a rice cooker somewhere (if yes, only having one burner is no biggy; if no, that's hardship!). So I was glad to spot it next to her desk :).This was really fun to watch! And I was just watching tiny houses before, so this fit right in :). Out of curiosity, because I don't know/remember: what does Alex do at TC? Oh, and I also love woks but I've never seen oen with a lid like that. Does it help steam things inside or something?

I just watched all the tc homes videos and I love how every single one is so cute and unique and everybody did a great job decorating. at the same time I'm horrified at the rent and people even commenting how cheap it is. here in Germany I have 130 m2 +balcony +garden + 2 garages +double carport and we're paying 1100$ including all utilities. we're living about 15 minutes from the city centre (so not countryside or anything) I'd probably be instantly broke in Japan or most other places you guys are from 😅 hats off for being able to afford that, you must all work so hard 💪

9:31 that tiger balm!😍 hehe my dad really loves that, very nice pain killer👍 one of awesome souvenirs from singapore😁

I think my place is slightly smaller and cost about 545$ while being located 45 mins from the center of Copenhagen, it is student housing though, so you may even be able to find something cheaper as a student (I'm told I didn't get such a good deal haha) but if not, even for a room you're likely looking at around 650-700 bucks and for a one bedroom apartment it's around 1200 bucks maybe slightly less but yeah... It can get expensive...

I want to go to college in japan i thought it would be 1800 for a month but this was a nice surprise.

I was living in the US and paid twice as much for 1/2 that space!!!! You are so lucky.

At first I was like, man 600, where I used to live semi in the country our huge house was 800, but then I saw in tokyo and was just baffled!

I needa get me some spice holder fridge magnets

I pay roughly 650 a month... for the mortgage on my 110m2 attached house with 2 floors, 3 bedrooms and a spacious attic. XD And I live just outside of my city's center so it's quiet enough to be a nice place to live but also close enough to the city center that you can go there by foot (~10 minute walk).

I saw Natasha and instantly assumed “Girl, we’re not looking to spend almost $700 just to live with 12 people!” 🤣

That’s so funny when I was in the military we use tiger balm all the time

6:13 this part kinda make Alex look like she was interviewed by fashion magazine

Finally gettin to see more of bae alex

Alex looks amazing her fiancee is a lucky guy I love the art work on her arm

I wish I had a place like this back in University

I love your energy, great girl !!!!!😇🧘‍♀️🍒🌸🦋☀️

You might be able to find a room in an apartment for $650 in Boston, or a studio in the metro area. Most likely a larger studio than 30m^2 though.

Oh wow, a Jed Henry designed woodprint!
