Searching for a place to rest our heads...

The apartment search, thanks to our cohort-mates Samantha and Leila, was a fairly smooth process. Our first day in Shanghai, we went apartment hunting in the Jing-An District in the evening.

Sherry and I looked at three apartments:

the first one we liked the price and the look (2BR + 1B), the second we were okay with the price and liked the layout more (3BR + 2B), and the third was totally out of our budget and so nice, except we would have had to buy a lot to complete the apartment (2.5BR + 2B  + balcony).

At the end of the day, we decided to sleep on it and decide in the morning.

We decided on the SECOND apartment! And, we were able to negotiate the price down 500 yuan per month.Signed the paperwork on Day 2 in Shanghai...

... And this is our apartment! Located at Yanping Lu and Xinzha Lu. Building 6. 9th Floor. Apt. 905. Suite E.

A tour of our apartment is COMING SOON!!!
