That's interesting, I have a friend from HS I'm still in touch with who is half Asian (I forget which flavour now), half Cree. Had (have) the hugest crush on her.Danger said:Cool. I've always had a strong preference for Asian women, but I ended up with a Cree who everyone thinks is Chinese. I'm not complaining, though.
That's a terrible thing to call someone.turbo-1 said:One little dump is not much different from any other.

Just teasing. I have lived in more run-down apartments than I care to remember. Going to school, chasing construction jobs, etc, and saving up for a down-payment on a house. I purposely chose very cheap apartments because it's too hard to save money for a house when you're paying too much for rent, just so you can live in a nice apartment. I usually ended up with hard-to-rent places like 3rd-floor efficiency apartments, etc, just to keep costs down.JasonRox said:I guess so, but I still want to show them!

Danger said:The cost thing is pretty significant. W and I have the most awesome landlady. Three years ago we were paying $625/month. In August of that year, Judy sent us a note apologizing profusely because she was going to have to raise it by $25 in January. No increase since then. Back in November, our neighbour in the the same 4-plex moved out of her 3-bedroom unit (ours was 2), so we moved in for the extra space. It's costing $725/month. This is a very nice building, and she put in all new kitchen cabinets and flooring for us. A single-bedroom bachelor unit in the town's seediest apartment building is almost $900.
JasonRox said:I couldn't imagine paying $900 a month for a one bedroom. That sounds insane. My buddy down the street is paying $600 a month plus hydro. His is bigger than I would love his, but I love the fact that I'm saving a lot going this route.
TheStatutoryApe said:Around here $900 for a one bedroom is about average depending on where you go. In the ghetto you might get away with about $750. I'm looking at Studios and have only found a handfull under $700. But that's online. I could possibly find something cheaper if I actually walked the neighbourhood or went to a rental company.
JasonRox said:That's crazy because even in Quebec City I could find apartments for $500. They run bottom end of course. And I'm talking about downtown apartments too. I like to be in the middle of the city.
Moonbear said:Congrats on getting your own place. It'll be such a relief not to have to deal with other people when you just want your own quiet time.
Moonbear said:How many roommates do you have to generate that many dishes?!
JasonRox said:I will probably get basic internet and that's it.
JasonRox said:Only two of us use the dishes. I'm one of those 2. That's what I don't understand.
She's nice, but she produces dishes like a chef in a busy restaurant. And lots of containers too that she puts food in.
Moonbear said:Wow! How many meals a day does she eat?! That's about a week's worth of dishes for me (or more).
