http://www.batgung.com/taxonomy/term/109/0 en http://www.batgung.com/node/1649 <p>I'm going to be moving to HK from the US in either June or July, my plan is to stay in a service apartment for most likely 2 months, and during these 2 months I'll be visiting all over HK to determine where I want to be staying on a more permanent terms, say 2 to 3 years.<br /> My company is in the Time Square building, so I figured living near there in the beginning is probably the best path to take during the first 2 months. Does anyone have any experience with which building(s) is a pretty safe bet? My budget can range from HKD $12K to $18K, the lesser the better of course. I would like a 1 bedroom place instead of a studio, but beggers can't be choosers, eh?<br /> I've visited HK once and liked the Lan Kwai Fong area, some friend suggest Happy Valley, and another suggest Hung Hom... so anything is possible I guess.</p> <p>Also, since I won't be bringing any furniture or electronics, can anyone suggest whether I should lease a fully furnished apartment (which I'll find while I'm there) for the duration of my stint, or rent an empty apartment and purchase my own furniture/electronics? My understanding is that it'll cost about HKD $1000 more for a fully furnished place.</p> http://www.batgung.com/node/1649#comments General apartment causeway bay service Tue, 04 Mar 2008 00:14:20 +0000 1649 at http://www.batgung.com
