Apartment living


The other day I was going to hang out the clothes when I found that I'd been sent a present from the gods. Caught on the clothes line was an iron bracket just the right size to hang a candle lantern from the grill on the window.

I haven't passed on the blessing in like form; the underwear below came from our house. It's remarkable how long it takes for a clothes pin to clatter 18 storeys down.

Eighteen floors up is certainly nearer the universal energy force, you may have more "drop-ins"! What area of HK are you living?

Discovery Bay is on Lantau Island just south of Hong Kong Disneyland. It's a designed and controlled community that doesn't allow any private cars on the streets and carefully limits the licenses given out to the exclusive golf carts that the ex-pat tai tai's drive around.
