Musings in the evening too...

Another day gone. Time is starting to move quickly after a bit of a slow start in HK.

Some of the apartments are pretty flash looking. Here's a shot of a lobby/shared area in a block that is a favourite so far... On the right of the picture is the restaurant/cafe. On the left (mostly out of the shot) is the library area with nice comfy couches. Moving through the middle takes you down a nice curving staircase to the gym, squash courts, basketball court, yoga studio, spa, and event rooms.


On the other hand there are some pretty terrible places. Here is a shot of the view when looking out the living room windows of a place in Midlevels.

Here, the buildings are very densely packed with little chance of a view of the sea. The advertisements often specify FSV or PSV - Full Sea View or Part Sea View. The alternative is MV - Mountain View. I think this place was described as MV. Something to watch.
I am going out again on Friday to look at places with an expat agent who knows what other expats are looking for. Then Sonia is here next week to make the decision and we can move in.

Apartments don't come with curtains here. And in some cases don't have light fittings either. Something else to be careful of.
