New Apartment

After weekends of looking we finally made a decision about where we are going to move next year. We are moving to a village called Tai Wo and have a top floor plus a roof top of a village house. The house is brand new and there is still some construction going on (cabinets, sink, stove top all need to go in still).

It has been a productive (and exhausting) two weeks and we have bought most of our furniture and a car from an ICS family who is leaving the end of July (right when we get back from the summer). We are very excited to have a car, which will make our commute to work only 15 minutes! We are also very excited to have Rudy live with us and to buy plants for our HUGE roof top. Our roof has beautiful views of verdant mountains, one of the things we love about Hong Kong. The end of July is going to be crazy, but thankfully we have a few days before our in-service week at school to get set up.

My mom really wants to see pictures so this one is for you mom. The bedrooms are small but we are happy to have a guest room and a master bedroom that does fit a queen sized bed! Crazy to think that our whole village house at 7oo square feet is only slightly larger than most of your garages in the US (at least we have a 700 square foot roof terrace too!)

Outside & car park (we are the top floor on the left)

Living room (ugly metal doors on the right lead to balcony, curtains will cover those doors!)

Kitchen (opens up onto the living room/hallway. There are more counters that are not in the picture which is amazing for Hong Kong kitchens which usually have tiny kitchens with no counter space)

Bathroom (picture is really fuzzy because I'm still getting used to new point and shoot camera/video camera)

Master bedroom

Guest room

Other "bedroom" that is really more the size of a large walk in closet :-)
