I thought it best to start detailing what we've done over the last few days in Hong Kong.
We arrived on Saturday night, the 18th of September and I was pleased that the serviced apartment was really really nice.
Took a shower, walked my "dog" (nb: daddy's headphones) around and then went to bed!

Here's a picture of our serviced apartment, its a spacious and luxurious 2 bedroom apartment and the housekeeping unit cleans it every single day!
So different from our last week in Sydney where we stayed at the Medina where they only clean once a week! On a daily basis they just make the beds and replace the towels!
The next day, we woke up bright and early and went to explore the city! Daddy needed a hair cut to look nice for his FIRST day at work, and also needed some new work clothes. We just tagged along for the ride.
We spent the whole day walking around Causeway Bay, starting from Times Square, hopping over to Sogo then finishing up at Jardines Crescent. Phew... so tiring!
Then, on Monday, there was a typhoon warning (typhoon Fanapi) so it was POURING buckets of rain... the rain only stopped on Wednesday, so - you guessed it - stayed at home most of the time. Had to go out briefly to do some errands on Tuesday, ie apply for our HKID card, interview the potential helper, open our HSBC bank account,.. sigh, I got drenched!
Wednesday evening, which was the eve of Mid Autumn Festival, we went to check out the Lantern festival at Victoria Park.. and discovered more little shops around Causeway Bay, ie Island Fashion and Windsor House (they have a Toys R Us in here!!!)

Can you see my little lantern???
Plenty of kids shops in Windsor House *happiness*
Thursday, was the Mid Autumn festival.. so it was back to Causeway Bay for more shopping and eating. We also popped by Ikea to buy furniture for our new helper (the one we interviewed). Her name is Noeme and she'll be starting next week! At night, we hopped on the MTR to Tsim Tsa Tsui to get daddy a new laptop bag from Crumpler @ Silvercord.
Then today, mummy brought me to the local pre-school called PIPS to enrol me for Kindy year 1 (K-1 as they called it). Sadly, I'll be the only kid in the class who is not fully toilet trained yet, but mummy is optimistic I'll be fine by the time I start (at least, that's what she keeps reassuring the staff there LOL)... So far, I'm quite good at using the toilet for a no. 1 - it's the no. 2 that's a bit harder for me :(
Nice or not my uniform??? Had to buy size 6 coz the size 4 was a bit tight!!! *shy*
Anyways, we have to go now to meet the curtain guy, he's going to help put some curtains in our apartment. Today, we will be selecting fabrics and colours for the room! How exciting!

Update: Here's the curtain I selected (forgot to rotate the pic)
Further Update: After selecting curtains, we stopped by the Playground and the air was so fresh and crisp!
Check out the mountain view in the background :)
Check out the view from our hotel, it's the mid levels and the Peak!
