This is the exterior to my new home. You'd never even believe that this is also on Wing Lok Street. It's a little oasis. Note the florist next door - I bought a plant to improve the feng shui inside.
Modern, clean interior at Treasure View. Note the mini washing machine and mini-fridge. (Hint: the fridge is the only other appliance. Still can't find it? It's the hip-high cube in front of the sink.)
View from the 13th floor balcony. 13 isn't unlucky here. 4 is . So there's no 4th floor, no 14th, and definitely no 44th floors to be found in the city. The more western ones also skip 13. This picture looks west down Wing Lok Street, towards the financial center (just past those modern-looking skyscrapers in the middle).

this is why T was psyched that we switched our wedding date -- from 10/4 to 10/13.
We miss you. I'm excited to see more pictures. I miss you so much. I wish I could get skype to work for me. Tony and Shelby send love too.
Chris, The photos and your writen descriptions really make your trip come to life. You're bound to feel some homesickness, and that's ok. Glad you're doing well over there. We showed Joseph where Hong Kong is on the globe ball, and he can almost say it with a funny Chinese accent. Good night, Love, Jen
great blog, chris! i love the top photo with the red taxis and the crazy hazy sky. one thought, is there any concern that you are staying in hong kong 4 months? unlucky number, no? hmm. maybe i would say something like 16 weeks instead if anyone asks. more pics, please! bklyn misses you!
It's so exciting to share your experience with the photos and captions. Thanks to Brenda for finding out about skype. While it's hard to believe you're 1/2 way around the world - not just 2 hours away - this helps make you feel closer. HK looks fascinating and full of adventure. What a fabulous opportunity!
xoxoxo WOW
