I Found a Place!

So I found a place today in Ap Lei Chau, which is pretty out of the way, maybe a 40 minute commute from my job and a 20 minute commute to the city center, but the apartment is GORGEOUS!!! I was disgruntled trying to get there because it was about an hour away from where I'm staying now, but once I entered, I felt immediately at peace. It just felt right. It's located in Sham Wam Towers, and it's on the 48th (I was wrong when I previously typed in 38th, and I can't figure out how to do strikethough text on Blogger) floor! I've never lived that high in my entire life! My room is pretty small, maybe about 6ft. X 7ft. but it has a view of the South China Sea! The roommate is this Japanese woman who works as a consultant. The place is super nice, and at $6000 HK, that's still less than what I was paying in the East Village. And get this—as soon as I left, I had one text in my inbox from another place and a phone call from another potential roommate. I thought I wasn't going to hear from anyone else. Why does it always pour when it rains? Check out the pics:
