House Hunters International

We finally got iPhones! We were made fun of back home because we had "dumb" phones and used them proudly. Since having these smart phones we've played on them every night. It's very addictive!

Another momentous occasion happened today. We started our real-life "House Hunters International" and began our apartment hunt. To find places, most people use realtors due to the rules and regulations of apartment owners. Rent prices can sometimes be negotiated which the agent helps with. We found a realtor who actually used to live in Daly City. It was great to have that local connection with her. We saw 2 places today and will look at a few more tomorrow. The housing market is very competitive (5.5 million people and a small island). So if you like a place you usually have to place an offer that moment and write a check for the deposit and 1st month's rent. We'll be on the lookout for that perfect place with an "open-concept" and "granite counter-tops."

Some photos from our hunting. Thank you iPhone and Instagram!




The area we're targeting is Kembangan which is close to the MRT and has a nice locals vibe.
