Yesterday went by so quickly. ..before I knew it, I was off the plane onto terra firma ...on the land of HK!
Claimed my 60 kilos of luggage off the belt and made my way to the concierge. ..only to be told that I had to make a prior booking for them to be able to forward my luggage to the apartment! Though now that I think back, it makes sense logistics-wise...
Anyhows I took a taxi to the apartment..and was extremely grateful to the taxi uncle who helped me with the luggage and even looked after them as I got someone from the apartment's management to help with my bags.
A summary of my happenings so far:
How I'm feeling: content lounging in my apartment. Haven't got down to the agents for the hunt on my long-term abode but a short neighbourhood walk this noon revealed a few agents I should be approaching.
Food: dinner and dessert was free last night, thanks to my HK friends who threw me a welcome dinner. Turns out a friend also owns a shop at Causeway Bay selling Leica cameras and they were holding a photo exhibition so was quite a cool experience ;)
Weather: Humid to the max omg! Yes it is worse than Sg's! One of the reasons I don't mind chilling at the apt
Social life: non-existent at the moment haa...unless you count 我和僵尸有个约会3 reruns company. Maybe I should hang around cafes of Central and Sheung wan and chat up random strangers...
Mastery of Cantonese: getting there! Just need to feel more confident about using it in daily conversations!
Food: have had Vietnamese food for two meals in a row! Prices have gone up. ..from 7 years ago haaa! It's about 10 bucks for a bowl of noodles ..about the same as Sydney! Looks like I'll be doing more cooking...
Some shots of the apartment at 21 Whitfield. ..I do get a side view of Central and Wanchai , and Victoria Harbour at the front of my bed - pretty awesome!
