I am now the proud renter of two flats in Hong Kong

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

But it’s not what you’re thinking. I’m definitely not ballin’ out of control like that.

I simply got the keys to my new flat in Hong Kong. And haven’t yet relinquished the old one. My new landlord was nice enough to give me two weeks rent-free in my new flat, which gives me the opportunity to slowly move stuff from my old flat before I have to give it up on September the 14th. I have opted to move my stuff using my own elbow grease (as opposed to hiring a mover like a normal person), since my new flat is within walking distance from my old one, and downhill to boot. Therefore, I just can’t support the expense of hiring a mover to move my three medium-sized suitcases (and the odd box of stray accoutrements) not even 500 metres to my new place. I have two good legs and my suitcases have wheels. Also, I currently live right next to the Central Mid-Levels Escalator (the longest outdoor escalator in the world!) and the new flat is right beside it as well, so I have been riding the escalator to my new flat with all my stuff in tow ( but only in the early- mornings when the escalator is still running in the downward direction).

Having stuff scattered between two flats has been a tad harrowing though. The other day I was searching, without success, for one of my favourite black “clubbing” tops. After turning my old flat upside down in a fruitless search for this seemingly innocuous piece of clothing, I realized that I had trucked that, as well most of my other tops, down the road to my new place. Womp womp…

SHARING IS CARING

  • I agree. Keep that moving money in your pockets for travel (well, that is what I would have done anyway-hehe). And, with the escalators, things look to be easier. As for your missing top, all par de course in moving. It gives life….adventure. 🙂

  • I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means discovered any interesting
    article like yours. It is pretty value sufficient for me.
    In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the web will be a lot more useful
    than ever before.

  • My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of
    websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.

    way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?

    with others, please shoot me an e-mail if interested.

  • It’s going to be end of mine day, but before end I am reading this impressive post to
    improve my knowledge.

  • I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your
    blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  • Howdy! I understand this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask.
    Does operating a well-established blog like yours take a
    large amount of work? I’m brand new to running a blog but I do write in my
    journal on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
    Appreciate it!

  • Hi there terrific website! Does running a blog
    similar to this require a great deal of work?

    to start my own blog soon. Anyways, if you have any
    ideas or tips for new blog owners please share. I know this is off subject however I simply had
    to ask. Thanks!

    It was inspiring. Keep on posting!

  • Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless think about if you added some
    great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site could definitely be one of the
    best in its field. Awesome blog!

  • It’s very simple to find out any topic on web as compared to books, as I found this
    paragraph at this web page.

  • I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never
    found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty
    worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web
    will be a lot more useful than ever before.

  • I have read so many content on the topic of the blogger lovers except this paragraph is in fact a pleasant
    paragraph, keep it up.

  • Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!|
