What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
Most expats live in high rise apartments. Modern houses are very rare and must be prohibitively expensive. My current three-floor flat, new with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, goes for about US$1,000 a month. However, these kind of accommodations are for expats on relatively generous overseas packages. English teachers and those on the local economy can find or share modernish but small and simple flats for a fraction of this. - Nov 2007
