Living expenses
によるポスト Nicest Guy に 浙江省 フォーラム
Hey there Constantine,
I've been to many cities of China and I assure you, Hangzhou is the best place.
We got thousands of foreigners here, that's not a problem actually.
You can find a flat mate and rent apartment (each room apart) for around 1000RMB per month, which is around 150USD.
Food is not so cheap here, also be careful of dirty places.
Other stuff is cheap as hell, clothing, massage and so on...Good luck :)
