I published a short video showing off my setup during my two week quarantine in Taiwan. Expect another post going more into detail about what that was like and how I kept sane.
The video can be found here.
The transcript is copied in the raw below, for those that don’t want to use Youtube or watch a video.
1 01:00:02,533 –> 01:00:03,617 Good morning!
2 01:00:04,884 –> 01:00:07,884 I am going to give a little tour
3 01:00:10,467 –> 01:00:13,467 of my quarantine hotel, the day before I leave.
4 01:00:14,033 –> 01:00:15,850 Or, actually, I’m leaving today…
5 01:00:16,283 –> 01:00:17,016 So
6 01:00:17,016 –> 01:00:19,133 kinda messy right now, cause I’m still packing, but
7 01:00:20,700 –> 01:00:23,133 got this little entrance here, where I keep my water
8 01:00:23,316 –> 01:00:25,133 sometimes they give me little snacks and stuff
9 01:00:25,133 –> 01:00:26,850 I don’t really, like
10 01:00:27,233 –> 01:00:29,233 … instant noodles, I don’t really eat that.
11 01:00:29,233 –> 01:00:31,350 This is also where my luggage goes, when I’m not packing it up.
12 01:00:31,867 –> 01:00:34,550 cause there’s not really a closet here, or anything
13 01:00:34,984 –> 01:00:36,817 This is a little shelf.
14 01:00:36,817 –> 01:00:38,684 I had, like, a white light my parents gave me
15 01:00:38,684 –> 01:00:41,684 to help make me feel, like, less depressed. You know? Cause I’m inside
16 01:00:41,817 –> 01:00:42,867 This is my desk.
17 01:00:42,867 –> 01:00:44,934 I ended up getting this monitor.
18 01:00:46,300 –> 01:00:47,533 4k monitor
19 01:00:47,533 –> 01:00:50,033 I ordered it at 9am and it showed up at 2.
20 01:00:50,133 –> 01:00:52,900 I had gone a week, just working on my laptop
21 01:00:53,000 –> 01:00:54,050 I was like, “I don’t need it.”
22 01:00:54,050 –> 01:00:55,200 I definitely needed it.
23 01:00:55,200 –> 01:00:56,617 Got my MIDI setup.
24 01:00:56,617 –> 01:00:57,967 Make some mUsIc
25 01:00:58,183 –> 01:00:59,417 Split keyboard
26 01:00:59,533 –> 01:01:01,050 It’s all tucked…
27 01:01:01,817 –> 01:01:04,116 My laptop’s tucked there, on top of the fridge.
28 01:01:04,116 –> 01:01:05,000 Surge protector…
29 01:01:05,116 –> 01:01:06,417 Hard drive…
30 01:01:06,817 –> 01:01:10,016 It’s actually not too bad. I really miss having a standing desk, but…
31 01:01:10,133 –> 01:01:11,934 it worked. I mean I was basically sitting there like
32 01:01:12,383 –> 01:01:13,850 10, 12 hours a day.
33 01:01:13,850 –> 01:01:16,850 Bed. I had to push this bed up against the wall.
34 01:01:17,016 –> 01:01:18,884 So I could have space to work out.
35 01:01:19,367 –> 01:01:21,417 Didn’t end up working out that much. Just a lil bit.
36 01:01:21,417 –> 01:01:23,266 Had this TV, it was ok.
37 01:01:23,567 –> 01:01:25,033 Remote doesn’t work.
38 01:01:25,033 –> 01:01:25,650 So
39 01:01:25,650 –> 01:01:28,033 I was trying to make an arduino, like a universal remote.
40 01:01:28,200 –> 01:01:31,050 The view out this window… I REALLY like having this giant window here.
41 01:01:31,183 –> 01:01:32,517 I never saw my neighbors.
42 01:01:32,617 –> 01:01:34,734 Which is probably good cause I was like, naked half the time.
43 01:01:34,850 –> 01:01:35,650 but
44 01:01:37,316 –> 01:01:38,717 get this window open
45 01:01:40,367 –> 01:01:43,367 Can kinda see some buildings over there.
46 01:01:43,767 –> 01:01:45,717 Oh, it’s really warm out today.
47 01:01:45,717 –> 01:01:46,233 Ugh.
48 01:01:46,233 –> 01:01:48,517 When I first got here, it was freezing cold.
49 01:01:48,934 –> 01:01:50,950 I got these blinds, that I can close
50 01:01:50,950 –> 01:01:51,383 at night
51 01:01:51,383 –> 01:01:54,066 so that people don’t see my naked ass walking around.
52 01:01:54,400 –> 01:01:56,450 and here’s the bathroom
53 01:01:56,450 –> 01:01:58,717 which, I actually ended up paying more to have the tub
54 01:01:58,717 –> 01:02:00,300 which ended up being super nice
55 01:02:00,300 –> 01:02:01,300 cause I love
56 01:02:01,300 –> 01:02:02,133 the tub.
57 01:02:02,133 –> 01:02:03,033 And here’s my
58 01:02:03,250 –> 01:02:04,483 million dollar view
59 01:02:05,183 –> 01:02:06,283 very nice
60 01:02:06,283 –> 01:02:07,633 in the morning and night
61 01:02:07,633 –> 01:02:09,033 especially can see the
62 01:02:09,033 –> 01:02:12,033 sky turn the color of the sunset and the sunrise
63 01:02:12,250 –> 01:02:14,800 So sometimes I just sit here on this little balcony and like
64 01:02:14,800 –> 01:02:15,900 study, or whatever.
65 01:02:15,900 –> 01:02:17,817 Just try to look at stuff far away
66 01:02:17,934 –> 01:02:19,767 cause I’m looking at screens all day.
67 01:02:19,884 –> 01:02:21,233 Shower’s not bad either!
68 01:02:21,633 –> 01:02:23,767 It’s like, all glass, and stuff…
69 01:02:24,150 –> 01:02:25,350 Back when it wasn’t too hot
70 01:02:25,350 –> 01:02:28,216 I had all these windows open all the time
71 01:02:28,667 –> 01:02:29,900 AND
72 01:02:30,700 –> 01:02:32,350 bidet
73 01:02:32,550 –> 01:02:33,867 godsend
74 01:02:34,066 –> 01:02:35,817 Yea, so
75 01:02:36,050 –> 01:02:37,083 That’s my little setup
76 01:02:37,083 –> 01:02:39,066 That’s how I’ve been sitting for the last two weeks
77 01:02:39,283 –> 01:02:40,817 and now I’m about to go
78 01:02:41,066 –> 01:02:43,784 start the new phase of my life :)
