So today I was finally able to leave the grubby Harbour Plaza behind and move into my new digs in Wan Chai. Now if Google Earth had some funky way of letting caputre urls of locations around about 'here' you'd find a link showing you exactly where i'm at... but no, instead you'll have to make do with some good old fashioned photos:
Had to do the obligatory trip to Ikea earlier to buy essentials like coat hangers (for all my woolly jumpers!) and a plant for the place, otherwise its equipped with the basics, including a view West towards Admiratly (I can see part of the HSBC building if I lean out the window) and a view over Victoria Harbour towards Kowloon, where I can see the Star Ferry Terminal clock tower, the Peninsula and also a get a great view of the helicopters coming and going from the heliport just across the road. Basically its 'vivant' as the French would say.
Being in the 'big city' has its novelty value but after 3 days of concrete jungle i'm craving green, so popped into Dymocks bookstore and found myself a guide to hiking in HK which promises alternatives on the island to retail therapy. Its a public holiday here tomorrow however i'm supposed to be working, but I think I might have to clock in a little late and get myself some nature first. Maybe i'll find somewhere quiet to sit and read my book!
