Sleepless in Hong Kong
Well, a very sleepless night. We were watching a movie (I think the title is "Ed" - about a guy who agrees to have his life turned into a TV show) until about 11pm. Then began the tossing and turning as we wondered whether we are heading in the right direction with the apartment. So small - will we fit everything, how will we stand the small space after being used to a 1400 sqft apartment in KL. I forgot to mention yesterday that the 900 sqft includes an allowance for "common areas", so your usable space in the apartment is around 3/4 of the quoted space. So in actual fact the apartment is probably closer to 700 sqft. Sonia checked with reception at the hotel - our "studio" hotel room is between 330 and 350 sqft. So the apartment will be around double the size. Oh, and it is on the 48th floor, which does at least mean you get a good view. Some might say it is above the smog? Decisions, decisions.

Sounds cozy, there are certain advantages to a small place such as not enough room for your mother in law to stay when she needs to convaless, you will also know who your true friends are, ie those who still come knowing they will sleep on the floor and not just because it is cheap and convenient! I am more concerned about the height 48 floors up hope your good with heights!! Just think of all the weight you'll loose when the elevator gives out and you have to walk the stairs, perhaps Andrew could by a Helicopter intead of a motorbike!
