點滴12 Sharing 12: 租不租 Rent or Not

整個三月都在東奔西跑，因為我親愛的Mortiz終於來了香港，我們一起找屋子，首兩星期在不同地區看單位，在心裡比較著那一類單位比較合心水。香港，人多車多樓價貴單位細已經是一個全世界聞名而不變的事實，跟德國地闊天高比真的差很遠。

I was busy running around the town in March because Moritz had arrived Hong Kong and we were busying in looking for a flat. In the first few weeks, we went to different districts for various apartments and comparing which is the best among all. Hong Kong, a tiny place with high population density and small but high price apartment. It is a well-known and irrevocable fact among the world. The situation is totally different than that in Germany.

Moritz揀選房子的首要條件是睡房夠大和廚房不能太小，因為這兩個地方都是我們經常出入，一定要夠舒服可以好好休息、假期休閒地做一餐飯。最後幾經篩選，進退於兩難之間：單位Ａ價錢高，但裝潢不錯，廚房全新送焗爐、單位Ｂ價錢低，裝潢一般沒有任何家電，但空間夠多。香港人還是利益行先，每月多付HKD1500倒不如用來每月吃大餐甚至乎可以去一轉台灣泰國，所以決定租住價錢低的一間。

Moritz’s first priority to choose a flat is neither the bedroom nor the kitchen is small because these are the area we use most. They should be comfortable to rest and spacious enough to make a good meal. After a screen out, we were in a dilemma between Apartment A with higher rent but nice renovation, brand new kitchen with modern oven and Apartment B with lower rent but no renovation at all or electronic appliances, however spacious enough. To make a decision is not easy, but Hongkongers always put benefit in the first place. To pay HKD1500 more a month which allowed you to have a big feast each month or made you a trip to Taiwan/ Thailand. It is more wise to choose the cheaper one.  

點滴11 Sharing 11: 路不易走 一直由Moritz 帶領 Its not a tough road if you set a goal

當初要跟Moritz開始也曾經猶豫不決，因為異地戀 沒 有 好 結 果，這也是經驗之談。Moritz了解我的想法後說了一句話解開了我的心結。 

I admit that I was hesitating to start a relationship with Moritz because long distance can't work out well as expected. I concluded that based on the experience. Moritz understood my worries and told me something to release my concern. 

「我會來香港找工作。」

"I will come to Hong Kong and look for a job."

 對。我最大的隱憂就是情侶長期分隔異地，最終是 沒 有 好 結 果。 但既然他願意來香港，那問題就解決了吧！也就是這句說話令我願意走出第一步，也就是這句說話出現今天的結果。 

Yes! My major concern was the long distance between couple which is a cause to end a relationship. Since he is willing to come over to Hong Kong, the problem can be partly solved. In other words, I am willing to move forward to the next step as well. Thanks to what he said which made the thing happened today. 

大半年前，離開歐洲回港後，我開始找工作，每天在看招聘廣告，由有揀擇變成無選擇。一個月過去我還沒有接到任何預約面試的電話，令我十分焦急，深怕成為經常被社會標籤的廢青。同一時間遠在德國的他除了努力工作，也在計畫前往香港，兌現他的承諾，形成強烈對比。 

I left Europe and back to Hong Kong more than half a year ago. Start looking for a job and spending all day long for job advertisement, but failed to get any. At the first beginning, I tried to select what I want to do. But then, I was like doing whatever I could do. Time flies, and a month gone. My phone did not ring at all. I received nothing from any companies I contacted. It made me panic and I really did not want to become the "Useless Youth" which labeled by the society. At the same time, Moritz was working hard and also planning to come to HK to keep his promise. The situations were in a big contrast.
