Ha ha this thread brings my mind back to some of the disastrous housing experiences I had here. Sure others have had some too. In a nutshell:

Nice! Mine:

Apartment #1: a studio about 30 sq/m in Wangfu Gardens. There was a small balcony with a sink and microwave. It was basically the size of an apartment in Manhattan (the NY borough, not the Chengdu housing complex). The tightest living conditions I’ve ever been in.

Apartment #2: a 1-bedroom apartment across the street. I finally had room to setup some DJ equipment, but this apartment was still tiny. Maybe 55 sq/m.

Apartment #3: a 2-bedroom place in Jinjiang near the river. I tried living in a new part of the city, but it was boring.

Apartment #4: a 2-bedroom place on the roof of a super old building in the middle of what looked like a Chinese ghetto, in the East near the Hemp House. The rent was dirt cheap, I think like 1,100 for a big place that I shared with a good Chinese friend. In the stairwell of the apartment we’d find needles sometimes and there was trash generally all over the neighborhood.

Skip to current apartment #7: an awesome 7th floor 3BR apartment with a private rooftop garden. Been living here for 3 years now.
