I have a brandnew apartment which is being decorated. I'm looking for foreign people to rent it.  The following is the detail information about it.

1. Location:  14#, 10th Floor, St. Andrew International Apartment, Tongzilin South Road,Chengdu
圣安卓国际公寓，桐梓林南路
 
2. It's 77 square meters with 1 sitting room and dining room, 2 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 washroom. Fully equipped with furniture, including refrigerator, telephone, washer, microwave, whole set of sofa, TV, internet access, air conditioners, dining table & chairs, writing table.
 
3. Apartment will be available from April, 2006.
 
4. Monthly rent: RMB 1,850.
   Monthly Electricity, Gas, Water, phone/internet fee to be paid by the leaser
   2 months of rent as deposit for housing.
 

It’s pretty ideal for both living and working, 10 minutes walking to the big supermarket, Carrefour, and 5 minutes walk to a big and clean farmer’s market. Small shops and restaurants are conveniently located nearby while it enjoys a pretty view in all sides and quiet environment.

When fresh American university graduates, Greg and Heidi Rhodes,
first came to Chengdu almost twenty years ago,there wasn't much
western food to eat. Fortunately for them, Coca Cola ( coke ) was
available to quench their foreign thirsts.

But, they were only able to indulge their western taste sensations
with tomato sauce ( ketchup ) when they ate French fries at the
down-town Jingjiang Hotel, after a leisurely bicycle ride with very
little vehicular traffic along a two lane road from the Chengdu city
limits, which then extended to the second ring road.
