We are staying in a box. When I say box, I mean match box compared to a normal room in the UK. It is pretty hideous but hey, that's what Hong Kong is all about right?? Soaking up the local way of living... This is what I keep telling myself.
Beyond the box, this city is crazy. I don't know where everyone comes from as Hong Kong is small. But then again, if they all live in a match box like us, I get it. Rabbit warrens!!
The food is cheap and relatively good if you eat local. As I write this, I'm tucking into fried noodles with what is supposed to be chicken but tastes more like dog. Not that I have ever tasted dog, or have any intentions to, but if I did, I would imagine it would taste like this.
The apartment hunt is not going too well. We have lost out on some nice apartments overnight so it's crazy. Now if I see it, I like it then it's mine!!!
Our bank accounts are sorted. I love you HSBC Premier! So easy to work with and amazing headquarters.
Jobs - I have had a number of interviews this week already so anyone PR job hunting in Hong Kong, it is not that bad if you have good experience. I have had an offer and am waiting to hear back from a few more so fingers crossed. I have probably just jinxed it.
Overall it is good and interesting getting to know the city and how things work. I have figured that the locals have no spacial awareness what so ever, so for me (being a M&S lunch time basher in the UK) this is the most frustrating part of the city so far. They like to walk turtle pace reading their phones and are not aware that there may be a person/ bin/ lamp post in front of them.
That's it for now. Wifi is not great in the city so I will upload more posts and photos when I can.
Off on the apartment trawl again. Sweat, sweat, sweat! I better be losing weight.
