A new house!
We have signed a ten month contract for an apartment in the university district of Beijing. Our new apartment is about 100 square meters and is nicely decorated. It will need quite a bit of scrubbing and painting, but we are excited. Our rent has jumped substantially from 1,500 yuan to 3,500 yuan per month, but we know God can provide.
Our new home is basically just down the road from the main Olympic venue, but we may not be living here when the Olympics come. Our owner is eager to rent it out for a steep price on a daily basis during the Games, so our contract only goes until the end of June.
We like our new area very much. We are within biking distance of some neat and lively areas. We are also in the middle of some of the best universities in China. The only downside is the time I will need to spend on the bus to work. Fortunately, I am only teaching three days a week, and I can use my time on buses to study.
