My legs don't hurt nearly as much...

Happy Birthday to my wifee!


We're now in our new apartment in Sheung Wan. It definately feels like a different part of the city from Soho/Central, but in reality it's only a 15 minute walk away. One of things I appreciate about our new place is how I can go out and about and return to the apartment without climbing any hills or stairs..yes!

Of course, all good things are not without their downfalls, one of which is that the primary product of the local economy appears to be gross smelling dried food. And it feels like there are two or three shops selling them on every street corner. How is it that they each manage to turn a profit?? This stuff looks and smells like stuff we give the dog to chew on and keep her occupied for an hour! But, I doubt that she would like it either.

In Soho, it was a ton of small (as in no more than 10 people can fit in) restaraunts that were everywhere, here it's the smelly food stores, hopefully the restaraunts aren't buying there food from here. Gross, dry food is still gross even when rehydrated.

Anyway, here are some pictures from our new place...all the shots were taken from inside our new apartment, on the 40th floor (actually more like 34th floor, there are several floors 'missing')

These two were taking from our study:

Just for fun...

This one was taken from our living room:


And now, for something completely different...

That dog sign is hilarious! I submitted it to Engrish.com, but I doubt they'll post it. Still, funny.
