We're moving!!




Two years (this weekend) since we moved into our current apartment (well, two years since Joss moved in - we followed a month later) ... and the landlords have decided to put the (already hyperinflated) rent up by 30%.

To get a rent reduction, I pleaded good tenants; the fact one of the swimming pools is closed for refurbishment; the fact they've closed a restaurant; the fact the building is covered in bamboo scaffolding and looks like a bloody building site.

They offered us a reduction of $1000HK ... about £70 per month off.

The rent is so high here anyway, I can barely write the amount down.

So we're moving up the road in to Stanley Village.

A less glam apartment, but it's only a few mins away from Stanley main street; the market and the promenade and the PUBS! We've just returned from measuring it all up - looks fun and has a roof terrace.

We move in a month's time - will send the new address out to all (my birthday soon!!!!).
