Long time there hasn’t been any activity in this blog. The main reason for that is that Estefania and I had been in Germany for about a month. Anyway, there have been some major changes: I got me an own apartment. It’s in walking range of the baseball stadium. So, I might get a chance to visit a local baseball game now and then.
Basically searching an apartment in Obregon seems to be fairly easy. First of all, there are many places that rent apartments. Secondly, a renting-contract is not that common. Meaning you can move in and out anytime. I guess this has some hidden problems as well.
Let’s look at my case for example. My landlord doesn’t and didn’t want to have contact with me. At first he also refused to give me a receipt. But after some talking he agreed to sign a receipt once I print one out by my self and hand it to him.
I’m not even sure; that if there would be problems with the landlord the paper would help in anyway getting my safety deposit back. However, I’ll try to get him to sign a paper. So, I can sleep better at night and knowing that in problems at least I can prove that I’ve paid already.
Back to the actually topic.
When you look for an apartment or a room you can choose to stay with a family, which will let you stay inside of their house, cook and wash for you. Or you can look for an own place, it all just depends on what you like more. Especially near ITSON (the biggest university in Cd. Obregon) there are many places that rent rooms to students. You can spot those houses easily, because they often have signs in front of the house saying that they help students.
The second day is over and I have to say that I sleep very well in my new bed.
In case anyone would like to have some more information on how to find an apartment just drop me a comment and I would me more than happy to help you.
