Now you upgraded to a room for 250(same price as your own place) but instead of having your own place you live with two filipino men you just met this week. You're also not allowed to have girls stay the night without paying said strangers extra cash correct?
I mean id personally of told them to F off if they said i couldnt have girls over for the night without paying a tax. Clearly their just trying to take advantage of you being a noob to the Phils. You already know you could of got your own place in that area for 250 before you came. I dont get why you are paying the premium for roommates u just met and a twin size bunk bed. Also you got kids wall paper u got to get a new place ASAP.
No, I didn't find a $250 place that would be my own, that's just the budget I've set for that. Originally I had the $160 room thinking it was larger and considering staying there for up to 6 months if it's comfortable and alternatively finding an own place for up to $250.
But the deposit is a big deal for me, it means I'll go broke 1 month later if I do. And living in a shared apartment isn't as bad as I thought, definitely worth saving the deposit and being in a relatively nice apartment and building for $250.
It's not 2 dudes, at the moment it's only one 39 year old Filipina and the third room is empty.
