After the recent thread about my situation has been closed. I am just asking for a little bit of advise this time.
I am looking to move out of Tin Shui Wai after what has happened. I want to commute everyday possibly from Central. I just want a simple place, possibly in Sheung Wan, I don't care how small it is, aslong as it's safe. I would rather be situated in Central because obviously there are more Westerners. I don't want to be paying a fortune though....remember I am only 18 years old

Hope you can help
Kelly

Not sure if it's in your budget. It's in Sheungwan

In Causeway Bay and even cheaper

uhhh Hey Kelly,

I wouldn't suggest Central, Sheung Wan, Causeway Bay etc if you are looking for deals. I would suggest maybe East Kowloon. I used to rent a place in Wong Tai Sin for $2,200 a month and it was not furnished, but a bedroom with Bathroom/kitchen type thing.

If you plan on staying out in Tin Shui Wai area for employment I may even suggest West Kowloon/NT (Mei Foo or Tsuen Wan.) That way you are right on the West Rail.

As much as prices are good you may want to avoid Tsim Sha Tsui-Sham Shui Po if you are looking for HK's safest districts.

East HK island may also be ok. Esp Taikoo/NP areas.

I think it is well documented how much I hate the idea of living in an "expat" area. So I may not be the best judge, but I am just trying to think of your wish for lower prices.

Or look to share with another lady. Makes it a lot cheaper.

Exactly.... You would be OK anywhere on the island. Looks like you were particularly unlucky with the location.

Actually if you're looking to share, I just met a nice gal who's also looking for a new place to rent very soon. She's an actress/model, from Australia, and is looking in the Wan Chai area. I'll also ask her if she's interested in sharing too.
