For the low, low price of $450 US Dollars you too can live in this wonderful whitewashed concrete box that will slowly eat away at your sanity.
Just google "russian housing slum" and you'll get a clear picture.
Which city?
Is that a white noise maker?
Paderborn, in East Westphalia-Lippe

1 bedroom in NYC (Brooklyn) in Sheepsheadbay (Russian area 1 block from metro) 700 bucks , gas/electric avg 100 per month. But it is the typical old crappy NYC apt(those from NYC know what I am talking about). My Ukrainian flat is bigger with Jacuzzi and grenade proof door(bought off gangster smuggler) monthly 50 bucks utilities.
In NYC people don't brag about how flats look they brag how cheaply they pay (Seinfeld) but mine is rent stabilized so I can't ever give it up or it would rent for maybe 1200-1300.

The apartment I am renting here on Panglao Island, is running me 9000 pesos a month (roughly $200). The apartment is fully furnished including free wifi and a swimming pool. The only cost out of pocket I have is utilities. Electricity runs about 1000-1500 pesos (22-35 dollars) a month. Satellite television is costing me 430 pesos (10 dollars) a month for the mid range package with a couple of movie channels (HBO, etc.)
Renting a semi automatic motorbike for 3000 pesos (70 dollars) a month.
The apartment is a 3 minute ride from the nearest beach and 5 minutes from the big tourist beach, Alona Beach. Tagbilaran (capital of Bohol) is 15 minutes away a city of 100,000 with 6 universities and colleges.

Some of these prices are incredible for the price. I'm currently paying $3200 per month for a 2 bedroom apartment in Sydney's CBD. I split the price with a room mate however, so it's not so bad.

@g_global and Vacancier Permanent,
When you guys first rented your apartments in China, did you have pay first and last month's rent in advance? And how much are you generally paying for the deposit and agent fee?

In some places in China, I found online you can get less a 100usd/month for an apartment, but it is not so nice though

This wouldn't bother me if the smell of ammonia wasn't slowly starting to stink up my room.
I noticed something in a lot of the pictures. There is a LACK of any plant life and that's why you are getting the ammonia smell 'sick building syndrome'. If you want to get rid of the smells you need the following:
1 Medium PEACE LILY
2 Medium to Large size CORN PLANTS
2 Medium sized SNAKE PLANTS
1 or 2 Pots of English Ivy [vine should be about 2 ft in length]
The corn plants eat all sorts of gasses that come from paint, varnish, dry wall and furniture. The Snake plants give off o2 at night, the Peace lily will clean the air out and the English Ivy eats mold, pet dander and fecal matter.
Yes that's right, English IVY eats Sh!t.
This combo will keep a small apartment's air fresh and clean. Position snake plants beside your bed at night and you get extra o2 while you sleep. These plants in Asia shouldn't run you more than 20 bucks for everything.
