W:That’s not bad! But I’m afraid that the whale is going to accidentally hit the boat!

M:Yeah,but that would be an exciting adventure.You can swim,right?

W:Well, all right. It’s just such a cool thing that I’m…a little afraid of.

M:Much like in New York,being able to live comfortably in Beijing depends on how far from the city center you’re willing to live. A one-bedroom apartment in Tongzhou, 22 kilometers east of the city center, rents for only RMB 2,500 per month. “But your best bet as a foreigner is finding a room a bit closer to the center for around RMB 4,000, which you can pretty much do in the‘cool’ parts of the town near Sanlitun (9 kilometers northeast of the center) and Gulou (5 kilometers north of the center),” said Om Buffalo, an American who currently studies in Beijing. In general, south and west Beijing are cheaper than the north and east. Other ways to save money include taking the subway instead of taxis. “For medium to long-distance trips, taking a taxi in Beijing often takes longer and costs more than the subway,” said Josh Ong,director of global marketing and communications at Beijing-based Cheetah Mobile.His other suggestion is to eat like a local using the website www. dianping. com to find the places where real Beijingers are dinning.“Western food in Beijing is expensive, but there are amazing noodle shops and dumpling houses just around the corner from you.”
