On my way to get a Hong Kong ID

Starting work a little late this morn, as I have to go to the immigration dept and get a Hong Kong ID. Which of course means time for a quick coffee and email!
So I managed to get flat 3 for $12,500. Not as low as I wanted, but its fully furnished, amazingly central location, and in a reasonably quiet street (i think!). I need to get a bank chq done up today, and meet up with the real estate tonight to sign the contract and get the keys. Can't wait. I have a crazy day today;
9am - immigration dept - HK ID card
6pm - Meeting Real estate at my new flat (and yes Will it has good feng shui)
7:30pm - meet Benny's cousin and her friend for dinner in Wan Chai.

and in between - i have to rock up to work and be productive.

I taught my first class in Hong Kong this week (tues/wed). Had 5 guys, 3 from tokyo , 1 from shanghai, 1 from HK. A mix of Kiwi, brits, yanks and a hk local. Was good fun and we all went out for dinner on Tues night - so I'm slowly (very) getting a social life.

It's a long wkend here in HK (we have monday off) and I plan to use it to settle in to my flat - I only have a wk to get 'Hotel De Nat' ready, as Kev arrives next friday. Don't worry I'll publish his reviews here, so you can decide if you want to visit the hotel ;)

Alrighty, off to the Immigration Dept with Tegan & Sarah singing in my ears....
