Apartment Hunting


The day after I land it's time to find a place to live. I've already begun working with an apartment rental person who speaks very good English so she is ready for me. She knows I need a furnished apartment that is clean, has two bedrooms, etc. On the first day I see between 15-20 apartments. They range in size from 800 sq feet to 1,500 sq feet. In all of the apartments you give up something that you are used to. Stuff like a dishwasher, dryer, decent furniture, a kitchen that you can fit into, location, etc. At the end I narrowed it to two that I wanted to go back to the following day. Both are on the ocean with a view of the sea and if the weather is clear of Hong Kong in the distance. The next day I go back for a final review.
