apartment

This past Saturday Diana and I moved into our first apartment in Beijing. The three week long apartment search is finally over and I think we have found the nearest-to-perfect-est apartment we could have found. I really do like it. Everyday I am finding something new about the apartment and the neighborhood that I like.

Today Diana signed the papers for our first apartment in Beijing, China. This confirms that for the next year we will be living in Beijing and, thus, learning Mandarin Chinese. Beijing is being overrun by Olympic fever so our apartment search was made rather difficult by landlords that are looking to "cash-in" on the once-in-a-lifetime event. Almost every single one of the apartments we looked at, that matched our picky criteria, had the rent raised either just before or during our viewing of it.

We are subletting our apartment on 151st & Amsterdam for the months of August and September.

Price: $1,350/mth
Includes: Rent, utilities (including Cable TV and Internet)

It is a good sized 1 bedroom apartment that you'll have all to yourself.
