We've finally moved from our service apartment (hotel) into our own flat. We are on the third floor with no elevator and the stairwell is not air conditioned. I hope this will take off a few pounds. The good thing is that the third floor is the top floor so our unit comes with the roof-top terrace. The owner who lived here (a German without a green thumb) did nothing with the roof-top so I have a blank slate to create my own oasis. I plan to become the queen of container gardening. Our building is right next to the harbor in the old fishing village of Sai Kung. This is where the seafood restaurants are that you go and pick your dinner out of the live tanks. There are a lot of westerners in the community so the local grocery store actually has a Mexican food section and there are plenty of non-asian restaurants and British pubs.

I haven't taken any interior shots of the flat because we haven't furnished/decorated yet. We have a bed and a sofa so far. Just got a couple bedroom night stands and lamp so we're making progress. Laine will help when she comes back with me for the summer.
