😵💫 apartment hunting day (still aug 3)
Wow, my head is spinning. Spent 2 hours this morning and another 2.5 this afternoon looking for an apartment. Saw 11 in total I believe!
The range of price and amenities and ‘niceness’ here is huge. Someone from east west connected me with Simet from Cambodia Expat Services. He picked me up in a nice Lexus suv and drove me all over the place to find an apartment for the next few months. I’m looking for a two bedroom place so that Troy has a place to work when he gets here! I Saw places that cost between $700 and $1,300. It’s so weird that most say they are negotiable. Why negotiable? Just say a price, in my opinion, but that’s how pretty much everything works in SE Asia. So not too sure if that means $25 or $50 or $100 off?? But that is what I have an agent for. 😉You can rent without an agent but zero chance I am up for that challenge right now 🤦🏻♀️
Some apartments I was able to rule out immediately, but a couple seem doable. One is 3 minute walk from school!! Most are more than that (but max a 10-15 minutes Tuktuk ride away). Wouldn’t that be perfect to be only a 3 minute walk?! I need to really sit down and think about this tonight (or maybe tomorrow morning). It’s 7:31 pm and I’ve been up since 4am so I’m seeing the ‘wall’. 😂 I need to finish this margarita pizza I ordered (again). Don’t judge…..it’s just easy. I may also need to research what I am eating exactly as I just realized this probably isn’t regular cheese?? I don’t know if cheese is vegan. 😉🤔 plus I need to get out of here before the ukulele folksong karaoke starts. That went on for hours last night and I can hear it well enough from my room, I probably don’t need to be right in the middle of it. 😅😂
ps: Nichol doing even better today after two doses of his meds! 🎉🎉 I feel like he will be back to his old spunky self within a few more days.
