House Hunters International -- I'm Addicted!

I have a new TV addiction. I'm hooked on a show called House Hunters International on HGTV.

The premise of the show is this: They find a person or coulple who is looking to move overseas and follow them as they tour three homes in another land. By the end of the show, the person/couple who wants to move has to choose one of the three homes toured.

I love the show because you get to see what apartments or homes in other countries look like.

Recently, I watched an episode that took place in Hong Kong. It was amazing too see how tiny apartments are there! And how expensive they are for such a small amount of space.

Another episode I really liked that aired recently featured a New Yorker looking to move to Buenos Aires. During the show, the real estate agent who was touring the New Yorker around told the viewers something unique about Buenos Aires real estate.

He said there is no such thing as a mortgage, that when you buy a property, you show up to the closing with cash. Cash! And count out all your hundred dollar bills on the table!

It's tidbits like this that make me keep watching this show. It's just another way to get a scoop on how people live in other places, and a reminder that not everyone lives the way we do.
