Searcing for a place to live

Today we looked at apartments with the help of our friend Van Ahn, the events coordinator at the school.  One apartment was in the market district by the river.  It was 3 bedroom and 2 baths.  We probably should have chosen this one because it is buried deep in the culture, but it was also somewhat dark and dank.  So we chose the newer apartment which is in the same building as the school.  My main concern about life in Vietnam is functioning in this heat and this will eliminate that problem as far as going to and from work is concerned. We are housed in a 20 story high rise complete with pool, restaurant, convenience shop and movie theater.  The building is 3 years old and is called Pegasus Plaze.  Our 2 bedroom apartment has a washing machine and an unshared internet.  It costs about $400 per month.  Pat lives directly below us.  Our guide, Van Anh inquired as to when we wanted to move in and we said today!  Things do not work that way so we will move in eventually......After this, we were told to go home and relax.  We did relax, then went to have Pho with the female shopkeeper, actually restaurant owner, who aided us after the taxi cab driver abandoned us. 3rd time told to relax, it's a pity
