Roommate Moved Out

Well, reality is staring me in the face, my roommate moved out. Which means I really don't have any more time to waste. Except I went and wasted time anyways. The weather was fairly nice in the morning so I decided to do something which I haven't done for a while, go swimming. I need the excercise it just is too easy to be lazy here in Hong Kong. It actually started to rain right when I was about finished. Really an interesting experience to be in an outdoor pool when it starts to rain.

I met up with Gloria afterwards and her sister. They helped me look at a few places in Sau Kei Wan, we ended up looking at about 5 places. The first two weren't great at all, the 3rd place was a tiny tiny room but had everything bundled together includling a fridge. I guess not too bad for $3200 HKD if I didn't have to buy anything. They found me another place that required me to share a room, but experiences with HK roommates haven't been the greatest. I really miss living with my waterloo friends, those days were so open and free. The last place ended up to be owned by this Ninbo family. The man grew up in Shanghai so I guess we kind of had a connection. The place was not bad at all, with much more space than I needed. If I wanted to stay in Hong Kong for the long run this place actually wouldn't be too bad, but of course picking a place that was more expensive now wouldn't be the smartest thing to do. I need to really debate this though, I'm used to having room to entertain friends.

But the worst thing was yet to come. That night my other roommate "trapped" me. Maybe I'm just being too nice to her, but she dragged me into her smelly room to complain about the roommate that just left. Seriously I was in no mood to listen to this, and she was being so fake herself. She kept trying to write the story so that she sounds like the "good" person, I didn't want to hear the history, it doesn't concern me so I ended up trying to push her to just finish the story. When she smiles it is the creepest thing in the world, I totally think she's up to something all the time. I'll be so glad when I don't have to see her anymore.
