Abode
I said in one of my previous post--I "want" to move..but I dont "need" to...I was wrong!
My landlord called 2 weeks back and asked us to pay higher rent or move out.....the choice was obvious...so we started hunting for a "bigger" apt with sea-view....After 5 days of ordeal we finally found "a" house...wont say its still "the" house...in Hong Kong..the concept of "the" house is non-existant...moving into a 100sq ft larger apt makes us feel like we'v finally "arrived"!
Anywayz...so yes..its a full sea-view apartment...(and for those who are gasping)...sea-view apt in HK is not as much a premium as Bombay or elsewhere--becoz HK is made of Islands..there is water everywhere! So Yes we are paying 50% higher rent..for a slightly bigger place...and we thought finally the nightmare is ok....we can now do the house well and make it a humble abode!!
Spoke too soon..the nightmare has only just begun....its an empty apartment...which means all the furniture needs to be made...which is quite a nightmare in HK....becoz most local furniture guys dont understand English!!!
We will be living out of cartons for a while till the furniture arrives...but come to think of it..wont be that bad...for once I can throw my clothes on the floor without feeling guilty...cant remember the last time I did that!!!!
Hubby is gonna be so proud of me for that....So heres to 3 weeks of messy me!!!:-)

Even in Europe also one gets the apatments of this size only, but there is a plus point also, u will have less place to maintain and one cant afford to accumulate unnecessary things:), so good luck ! enjoy ur new apartment:)

Enjoy the empty messiness of your new apartment. And yes, Farhan rocks for me, too.

I totally love the Kowloon Promenade at Tsim Sha Tsui. I always keep saying 'I could live there' haha but obviously since I am a tourist, it hasn't ever been boring or unattractive. Maybe if I had to live there I would not love it so much.
