Decided in Jun that I wanted to move, to stay by the riverside.
With Taipei being such an urban city - read cities, scooters, cars, buses... too much pollution and noise. I wanted to live close by and yet be by a riverside.
It's actually quite possible considering that the rivers crisscross much of Taipei and that there are a lot of vacant apartments. Just a matter of sieving out what you like and how much you can afford to pay in rent.
I think I started viewing apartments in July and yesterday, Oct 1, I finally saw something I liked. (alright, so I was in Singapore most of Sep), but still, it's been a lot of apartment viewing.
This one I like not because of the apartment, but because of location. It's right by the riverside (I mean beside!) and it's just a 10min taxi ride into office which means it is not in the boondogs. http://rent.591.com.tw/rent-detail-333447.html
Alas, the lady wanted too much in rent and refused to budge.
