We found an apartment!!

We spent three long afternoons searching for places and we have finally found the apartment we will call home for the next three years. It is located in a complex called New World Garden. NWG is one of three complexes that is known to have the most ex-patriate people. Ex-patriates are non-Chinese people living in China. Many ex-pats are from America but there are also some from the UK, Australia, Germany, etc. Anyway, New World Garden is in the Dongcheng area, and there are many ex-patriate hang-outs in this area. There are several restaurants, clubs, and grocery stores where you can find Western foods. We liked this area just because we will be able to meet many English speaking people here and we will be very close to the places we will visit most often.
The apartment is on the 5th floor of a six story building. It is brand new, and has never been lived in, which I like. Because they just finished the apartment, there is no furniture in it yet even though it is sold as a furnished apartment. Because of this, the landlord said we can come with her to help pick-out furniture we like. We are excited about that!
We are in the process of getting the money and lease situation handled. We hope to sign our contract and go pick out furniture next week. When we sign the contract we will send for our stuff that is being held in the US. As soon as I get pictures, I will post them!!
