I got a place! Nice tidy little room above a property agency, at the bottom of a hill where trucks outside my window downshift to make the climb. It's a short walk to the U, too. It's awesome!

It's funny how it turned out. Since I got to Hong Kong, I've been looking for a place. I've seen maybe 30 rooms/flats. There was a misunderstanding about this one...I saw a sign that said it was about $300 USD a month, but when I went inside, they said $400. What? $300 for a two-year lease. So I left. Two days later, I was strolling about when I ran into the property manager right outside her shop. She pulled me inside and said "$2,500," or approx $320 a month. The price is right, Mr. Bob Doubalina!

This one was a favorite because it was cheap and close to the Uni (as they say here in HK). It's incredibly small, and has a shared kitchen and bathroom...BUT, it's cheaper and has more privacy than a hostel, and it's got wood floors!

Coming Soon: Hong Kong and Taiwan
