Monday, monday

Well, we (Sonia) saw another couple of places this afternoon and it looks like we are getting closer. This time it's a two bedroom apartment in Bel-Air, Pokfulam. It's 913 square feet (gasp). There is enough room in the second bedroom for a small wardrobe and a desk. That's it. We are currently trying to work out how to fit our "stuff", and what "stuff" will need to be sent back to NZ or sold. For example, our second bed will not fit unless you count leaning up against the wall in the lounge. So it will be a casualty of HK.

VISITORS BEWARE. You will be sleeping on the floor in the lounge. Although we can still fit the sofa, so maybe one person gets the sofa and one gets a lilo on the balcony?

I guess the advantage of the smaller apartment is the significantly lower cost. We get to save more, and spend some of the money on eating out in the many restaurants. And of course we can also afford to have Sonia's nails done (HKD 400 for a job done badly today) and her hair colour maintained (it's not natural, you know!). And maybe I'll be able to afford a motorbike? We'll see.

  2. Guess so... really need to halve the size of that storage unit too though - ridiculous to have so much stuff all around the world!
    Love, Sonia
