So I moved to Korea this week and made a apartment to buy list. Thought others could get a good idea of things they might need or want. If I am missing anything let me know.

- Bathroom Essentials (Toilet Paper ect)

- Kitchen Essentials (Utensils / Plates & Cups / Pots & Pans)

- Big Towels

- Bedding

- Laundry Basket

- Trash Can

- Cleaning / Washing Supplies

- Shower Slippers

- Clothes Drying Rack

- Power Converters / Adapters / Splitters

- Salt & Pepper Shakers

- Microwave

- Toaster Oven

- Rice Cooker

- Digital Clock

- Desk & Comfortable Office Chair

- Multi-Level Misc Shelf Rack

- Iphone / Ipod Speaker Dock

- Clothing / Coat Rack

- Printer / Scanner

- Flat Screen TV

All this will be expensive imo FML

If you eliminate the non-essentials it isn't that much. Some places may or may not have things on your list included so this is not a great list for everyone.

My husband's laptop is hooked up to our flat screen. It's our media center.

I want one for the same reason, to hook up my laptop and watch movies, sports, shows on the big screen. And also for video games.

On a side note.. just realized I posted this in the wrong forum!

Ceramic cheetah, "Dogs Playing Poker" painting on black velvet, banana hammock, pool table, those cakes that make toilet water blue, pink flamingo lawn ornaments.

But seriously. You need to ask on a message board what your house needs? Have you never existed before?

You want to get an apartment and you expect a landlord or those places which advertise available apartments to read your list?

Are you going to translate it to Korean? If they don't have an apartment with everything you need, do you think they will tell you? Won't you want to visit and check yourself or is this the checklist?

I am not quite following the purpose of this list.

@Radcon

I don't recall asking anyone what my apartment needs. Wasnt the purpose of the post / thread. Reading comprehension buddy...

@YTMND

I posted the list simply to let / show people that are coming or new all the things they might need / want for their apartment. And also for anyone to share things that are useful that I missed.

Yes you are right. But in all fairness I wouldnt think I would ever be reading a post where someone told others that they are going to need toilet paper and clothing. Thanks for that pro tip.

I know I'm right.

Could I have have excluded a few things that to most are common sense, sure. I recommend taking that dildo out your *** and stop griping about trivial dumb ish and actually contribute to a thread.

How is that for a "pro tip"

What esle can I add to your comedic gold of a post when you tell people "Don't forget to wear clothes and you'll need TP to wipe yourself after you go to the toilet." You may not be here on Daves much longer to give out your awesome advice after the crude nature of your last post.

News flash

If you don't have anything to contribute then DONT post. The "back" button works great for situations like that.
