Map of Hong Kong

The area we live in is centrally located on the island, midway between Causeway Bay and Tai Tam on the map below... 

Hong Kong is comprised of over 260 islands, and Hong Kong Island is the second largest in the territory.  The island is approximately 3o square miles, and the urban area known as Central on the northside is one of the most densely populated locations in the world.  

Steve's office is located in Wanchai, and overlooks the harbour.  Across the water is the city of Kowloon.   

We have arrived...

We are officially three weeks in as Hong Kong's newest residents! I'm totally new to blogging, so first off let me apologize for any rookie mistakes. The purpose of this blog is to keep all of our friends and family updated on our adventures and travels, as well as give you a chance to watch Tyler grow. We've accomplished a multitude of tasks over these past few weeks, hence why it has taken me so long to get this up and running, yet somehow the things-to-do list never seems to shrink...

High on our list of priorities was finding a place to live (right up there with buying a new hairdryer, why again can't the world operate on one universal electrical outlet?). We're moving in to our new home next Wednesday, located in an apartment complex called Hong Kong Parkview. It's a huge complex, almost resort-like, with 18 towers, two outdoor pools, one indoor pool, tennis courts, gym, grocery store and spa. The perfect location for my two year sabbatical!

The apartment is located in the middle of the island, adjacent to a country park. There are fantastic hiking trails surrounding the grounds, going in every possible direction, with breathtaking views of the city, as well as the south side of the island looking out at the Pacific Ocean.
