Our Apartment!

I know a few of you have been asking for photos of our new place, and I finally feel it is ready to be viewed! 

Warning: There is a lot of red in these photos. We felt it only appropriate to pay tribute to the company that brought us over here by splashing the apartment floor to ceiling with a little bit of red.

To begin the tour, our living room/dining room:

Next is our kitchen. In Hong Kong, it is a rule that you must have a door to close off your kitchen if you have a gas stove top. This runs into a problem when opening the door cuts off half of your kitchen, most importantly, the fridge! For us to get to the fridge, we have to close the door, which makes things interesting. Also, the majority of kitchens in Hong Kong do not have an oven. It is not a common method of cooking here so we had to pick up a toaster oven, which then takes up half the counter space.

Behind our kitchen door.

 Another interesting addition to our kitchen is our washer/dryer combo. It takes up a lot of potential storage, but we are just happy to have that amenity in our apartment.

Next is our spare bedroom/office. Right now it houses our office desk and clothes drying rack. Our plan is to get a blow up mattress for when needed for any visitors. 

 

 We were lucky enough to also get a small storage room in our apartment. Since closets are not built into apartments here, we used this to build some storage units for clothes and our stock pile of toiletries we brought with. 

 Bathroom, pretty self explanatory:

And bedroom:

 We are very happy with the apartment and can't wait to start having people come visit!
