More Apartment Hunting

So yesterday evening I looked at apartments at the Grand Promenade. It's a very nice estate with lots of features and some beautiful views. The neighborhood is really nice and includes a cluster of restaurants known as Soho East. There are a few parks and play areas close to the building. Here is a picture of a play ground by the building.


We would probably travel a greater distance in the elevator than we would walking across the street. The building is right by the water. Here are a few pictures of the harbor.




There were a lot of people jogging and doing Tai Chi and I didn’t want to invade their privacy with my pictures, but here is a picture from a sitting area by the walkway.



This walkway probable stretches about half a mile. There’s also a path that runs parallel with tree cover and a few exercise stations. There are also these stone walkway things that I posted about earlier, as well as designated Tai Chi areas and public tennis courts. There were also a few games of Go going on. Here is a map of the park. I didn’t cross the highway and until now didn’t realize that I had missed so much.

So the apartments in Hong Kong are extremely small. Here’s a picture of a bedroom.



It is literally a room for a bed. The living rooms aren’t much bigger but the views are great.



Here is a picture from the harbor from the 6th floor (L6) which is really more of a lobby type floor.


The 5th floor has all the club house type stuff (including a ‘home’ theater and Glow Bowling, among many other things) and the 6th floor connects the different towers. Here’s a picture from the 6th floor to the 5th floor BBQ area.


This is the place we will probably end up in since it allows dogs, is not in the middle of nowhere and is not rundown. Here's a final picture from this trip of the harbor after I had dinner in SOHO East.


I know I’ve posted a lot of pictures of different harbors. I promise I’ll stop one of these days.
