Three weeks ago, my friend Victor, whom next Friday will arrive to Beijing for a visit, asked me how my apartment hunting was. I did not know what to answer, because I had not even start to look for it.I thought it was excuse to start hunting and may be I could give Victor a surprise when visiting me three weeks latter. Straight away I started and in a week I had find one. I had some small problems with the landlord during the negotiations, but I reached an agreement in the end. We signed the contract (both in Chinese and English) and went to the police station to register together with the landlord (this is mandatory in this country).
This was two weeks ago and today I can say that the apartment is completely ready. I am very comfortable and it takes only 15 minutes by walk to arrive to class everyday.
I am going to take the chance that Victor will be here and I am going to try to arrange a warming party next weekend.
Victor will the first and I hope no the last. So, Who´s next?
