23rd July Xi An– One month
I have been staying in 西安 for a month in the summer. The place that I stayed is 陕西省西安市南门里湘子庙街16号(南大街进湘子门大牌坊100米路左) . This is a hostel next to the city wall with 3 condusive courtyards. One and only conserved traditional chinese residential.
I could have stay in the service apartment offered but I choose here instead as I need the crowd. Couldnt stay in a hotel room watching TV or DVD or night.
I met many backpackers here from all over the world. Many youth came here due to the cheap dormitory rate. I lived in a huge single room with a huge bathroom. Whats more could I ask for.
However at night the coutyard turned into a pub and became too roisy especially over the weekend. It has became too overbearing I thought for a quiet night.
Luckily I could retreat to a quieter courtyard and this is where I met many peoples that I could really relate to…..

Neo, I have visited the place you are staying in.
I like the courtyard best. The single room looks nice and the bathroom seems bigger than I thought.

You mean you have been here in Xi An? Many of my friends whom visited here like it here to.
Except recently they are going to increase the rental rate.

Neo, I went to your place by surfing online.
I’m sorry to hear the news “to increase the rental rate”. That means you have to “縮衣節食”.

Elinor; my accomodation was reinbursed every month. Some of my long stayed friends left because of the rental hike.
