Househunting Part I

First day of househunting in Hong Kong. Driven around by mobility consultant and agents. Over 10 buildings viewed and even more units seen. Its all blending together now. Service apartments for expats. Luxury hotel suites. Local buildings. Old. New. Ugly. Sweet. "Efficiency" (Gross vs Net Square Footage)... Island Line East. West. Mid Levels. But all Hong Kong Island so far. Haven't even checked out Kowloon units yet...Thank goodness we have until December to figure this out!  I LOVE my current service apartment even more now... (Most importantly, found a great dim sum place nearby!) 

Not going to live here in Taikoo Shing / Quarry Bay, but great sea view.

Open concept kitchens, ovens and counters are RARE in Hong Kong, but Westerners prefer them. They can only exist if you tear down "maid quarters".
