To update my earlier post, I am still in Hong Kong, but relocating from Fa Hui (the flower market) to Tung Chung. It is close to the airport and has great facilities so I plan to get fit ;-) But, we'll miss this neighbourhood that has been home for almost 6 years, now, and will have some serious adjusting to do in an id card controlled estate of 5000+ people! The third bedroom is about the size of a north American dining table. Flats do not have closets--but the new buildings typically have a wide window ledge that some people use to cantelever a bed...heck, that gives almost a foot of space just to walk around! We'll put wardrobes into that room and call it a closet. We were invited to cat sit for friends in Bangkok earlier this summer and were simply overwhelmed with the comparative space (our current 3 bdrm flat fits in their living room). So, we have taken a flat on the river - now being renovated - and will try to spend more time on the Chao Praya to get some necessary R&R. Other than that, working away at building our consultancy...energizing! missing our daughter who has completed a Gap year in Ireland and her first year of university in Canada. Visitors have included my mother who enjoyed the buzz of Hong Kong and the fascination of river life on a tour to China. TSers en route through Asia are welcome to drop a line - let's get together for a meal and conversation! Private Reply to John James O'Brien (new win) |
